What splitter is this?

[Fiorano]

It looks like a nice integrated piece into the bottom of the stock fascia:

What exactly does a splitter do ?

 

[PBJ]

It looks like a McCann Racing piece. That is his wing on the back. I don't know of to many carbon fiber splitters with adjustable supports. That would be my guess.

That's Paul Schley's car. The splitter is from McCann and the vertical (black) piece with the brake cooling ducts that integrates the splitter into the fascia was made by Erik Messley. You can reach Erik at EMI Racing 714-713-9096.

FranciscoR,

A splitter creates downforce when the air in front of the car pushes down on it (kind of like a cow catcher).

On a ground effects car, there is an additional benefit. The splitter controls how much air gets under the car, feeding the front diffusers.

Also, depending on the ride height of the car, the splitter helps create a vaccuum under the car, sucking it to the ground.
