How do Track Air Ducts work in race- and track-focused builds?

Track Air Ducts channel ambient air to critical components such as the intercooler and radiator, reducing heat soak during sustained high-speed driving. They manage under-hood pressure to minimize drag and support consistent cooling. VB Carbon uses dry carbon overlays to maintain rigidity without adding excess weight.

• Cooler air to intercooler and radiator improves charge efficiency

• Reduced heat soak during long pulls and hard braking

• Seamless integration with VB Carbon aero packages
