Hall's neatest car was the 1970 2J Chaparral that had two engine driven fans that created downforce sucking the car to the track. It was quickly banned bcause it worked so well. Neat stuff. Don't know if that one had any holes in it.

anyway: they say it helps tip the bike into corners when there's a strong cross-wind. doesn't pertain to the straights.

i didnt' read where it says it helps with the corners. what i read is they were getting a lot of cross winds. allowing the air to flow across the bike and through the fairing either in a straightaway or corner would be a huge benefit.

now that people mention about the tip in issue, the holes in the fariing at that area would sorta make a lot more sense now, afterall the holes are at the fartheset point of the moment arem from the contact patche of the wheel so crosswind reduction at the point would probably help tip in a little without affecting the aerodynamics that badly for the straights... hmmm... interesteing what those guys will come up with.
