Mine does. The left-handers do. Dragsters, even Formula 1, but they keep getting smaller radiators to cut the internal drag.I see the illustrations of a duct feeding air through a radiator. Stupid question: Do race cars use electric fans?

Post-Chaparral fan-car days, The Spec Mazda class does - but they are the OEM radiator fans. I believe tech looks close at the size and perceived downforce contribution. I've never had any questions as I'm in an "open" class.

Seems like the ducting, or at least inlet area, for a fan cooled radiator would be dramatically different?
At small axial-flow coefficients, i.e., in the high-speed flight,range, the built-in radiator discloses high additional resistances which, in general , amount to a multiple of the inside cooling drag and of the frictional drag on the radiator ducts.
- Left side heavy - is that due to a (my) lard A55? :evil:
