What are they for? Can we buy them?

Anyone have one installed.

I googled, but only found one link...

thanks

 

rally cars have them because they removed the air conditioning and the drivers get too hot. The scoop on the roof feeds tubes pump air into the driver's helmet and suit to keep him cool.

do you have AC in your car? if so, you don't need a roof scoop and people will laugh at you if you 'add' one

 

suckering succotash been foiled again. I thought they dispersed air.

thank you.

 

the roof scoop doesnt feed any helmet or racing suit.

they look like a airplane air vents from inside.

i have one on my car:

 

so what's the purpose of it ^^?

 

^^To get fresh air in the car when racing since racecars don't have AC.

 

That is right, and that is why you have also a window vent on the rally cars. It makes the air rushing more freely. Every serious race you have to have a window closed., and no Ac plus the car generated heat and the out side temperature sometimes makes it like an oven. Remember the race cars dont have insulation there for, even the exhaust heat is noticeable...
The rally sometimes 10 hours long / day , so you or your co driver dont want to pass out during the race. Like nice summer day you are sitting on tarmac 100+ easy inside with closed windows... And you are in full racing gear.

here is my set up for getting the air in nicely.

 

would it be to much to ask for a couple more pics?lol
