I'm reading it to say...it must be directed UPward, above the plane of the floor, to meet the wording. Yeh, I know...the pipe configuration would be very strange!!!

I'm perfectly happy to have mine dump under, as I said I have done in the previous three cars. But I don't think the wording is exactly what the rulesmakers had in mind.

Good racing.

It says:

9.3.22. EXHAUST SYSTEM
Shall be directed away from the body and shall terminate at or behind
a point which is equidistant from the front and rear hubs.

And since the body is what's licked by the air stream, above the floor pan. Why can't a hell bent exhaust be away from the body as much as a heven bent one?
