Front brake cooling duct orientation Options

[c/s914]

So I just fibreglassed in some brake ducts into my front bumper and realized after I did a test fit that they are counter cross-eyed (wall-eyed?) as the Sherdian bumper is angled inward slightly on the sides:

But as I was getting ready to cut the ducts back out too redo them ...I had an epiphany of sorts?

Except when something is spinning around in front of us, every time we brake on a racetrack it's before a corner. So wouldn't it make sense to have the duct orientated towards the direction of the car after we release the brakes for maximum cooling? Additionally there would be less drag on the straights if the cross section of the hole is more oblong? Yeah I can sell that in the paddock, right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Besides the car car looks wider and meaner this way too, ha! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

A brake upgrade is probably in the future, but unless I get up to Mosport or something ...our little track Atlantic Motorsport Park seems to be easier than usual on brakes?

I'm confident that providing some air to the brakes will fix my problem as I did have some cooling before when I bled the air coming in the front centre grille through cutouts in the inner fenders (...without any ventilation directly to the centre of the rotors using something like those carbon fibre pieces). But when adding the front cooler required for the larger engine I chose to exit the air out the hood as sending hot air towards the brakes didn’t make sense ...and probably more importantly I didn’t care for having those hot rotors exposed while refueling!

As for adding “eyebrows” I’d ruin all that work I did to create a 935 style opening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ...I mean anybody can cut a hole in a bumper, but can they say that to get the shape right (albeit a bit crooked) for a mold they used a toilet bowl floor gasket on their Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)
