I spend some time working on a slightly different endplate detail. Something that I though flows a bit better with the other sharper lines on the car. The endplate has a local aerofoil section to try and increase the compound expansion and get a bit more local aerodynamic load.

I moved the centre a bit further forward which increases the splitter top surface pressurisation. Interestingly I can start to see some local propagation which is increasing the radiator mass flow. This in combination with a slight reprofiling of the sections added another 3 kg of downforce for a splitter delta of 12 kg at 180 km/h.

I am drawing everything to be higher order continuity, beyond tangency, like automotive A-class surfacing. The outboard area took a while and was a bit of a pain but what do you guys think does the endplate detail look better?
