There's a ton of aerodynamic design tricks on this replica of the Sheraton Thompson Watson that A.J. Foyt drove to victory in the 1964 Indy 500. Note the intake duct in line with the offset driver's seat while the bodywork rises on the right side to help channel airflow over the middle of the car. And note the thin slice into the chassis on the left. Anyone know what that air path was for?
