i am trying to make up my mind. i may vent it sideways, but open up the wheel well liners like in the photo below.

FYI, the normal radiators exit just in front of the tires & under the car. there are little flaps that try to guide the air around the tire & to the outside; not sure how effective they are.....

That is Eric Oviatt's BSR car. It is very well sorted and he is very quick. My only concern with wheel well venting is the possibility of damage if a tire picks up something nasty and hurls it through the rads. If/when I add a 3rd rad I will probably just keep it simple like the Box S but I have to admit I like the look of a GT3RS vented hood. Form follows function. Here is a wind tunnel shot:
