That's been my experience too. I actually dont mind driving with my top down in light rain so long as I'm above 35 mph because the aerodynamics keep the cockpit dry lol.
I wonder if it would work well to put a louvered panel or scoop along the top edge of the quarter panel to catch that line along the side. It shouldn't be difficult to route that air into the trunk and based on your racing pic it would probably be pretty clean and slightly pressurized at speed.
One thing I'm getting ready to do is to add a gt style spoiler (purely for look, guilty). With that in place though I think I will remove the stock spoiler assembly and cover that opening with a gutter guard that has a diamond mesh pattern. There won't be any ram air effect, just one more way for the trunk to "breathe" as I continue to add more stuff back there.
