And they do have an enormous front wing that pushes the air over the tire (as well as the front end down. There is ususaly a fat center section which comes out a bit to fill the void between the front and the back tire so you get a straight shot of air flow across to the back tire. If you think they don't wind tunnel these designs yo craze'.
