I take it you are not a fluid dynamics engineer. Lose 1/3 of the aerodynamics and the other 2/3 then become a) Just drag or b) at worst, a serious cause of imbalance.

In years gone by all this stuff would have happened and no one would know a thing about it. Now in 2016 we get to over-analyse every small thing. Ripping a rear bumper off in testing seems pretty normal. Nothing to see here.
Having discovered last Thursday the Yaris WRC on the Corsican asphalt, Jari-Matti Latvala was in Italy this weekend at the wheel of his Audi Quattro for the Prealpi Master Show (December 10-11).
No rest for the Finn who found on Monday morning the Yaris steering wheel for a new day of testing, still on asphalt, organized this time in France.
The former Volkswagen driver then flew to Finland and more precisely Helsinki, or this Tuesday, the Toyota Gazoo Racing Team officially introduced its team as well as the Yaris WRC 2017.
On Wednesday, Jari-Matti Latvala was back in France for four more days of testing. After a day on the asphalt, which ended in hospital after pain in the back, the Finnishman took control of his new mount this time on earth this Thursday. (=> Videos of the day on earth)
The Toyota driver will finish his "big week" by two more days before being replaced by his teammate Juho Hanninen.

Is it me, or are the centre vains on that diffuser flexible, made of rubber stop them getting ripped off. You can see them flexing at 3.42
