Mazda appears poised to re-enter the 24 hours of Le Mans.

"In addition to advice about the bodywork, Swift also contributed an
innovative intake configuration. Unlike a traditional F1-style snorkel, the
Furai breathes through a shallow, leaflike cup known informally as an "air
fang." It looks something like the bow of a boat, rising proud of the roof
in order to breathe relatively clean, turbulence-free air that has not been
de-energized by the boundary layer. As the air rushes past, twin vortices on
either side of the device are generated, which then dump fresh air directly
down the intake without incurring the efficiency losses of a traditional
snorkel. It's an elegant solution in keeping with the Furai's design theme"

Interesting.....
