Anyone got an idea how this is supposed to work? I guess it would
accelerate air over the engine cowling down into the diffuser area -
should spoil some downforce as well as diverting more air away from
underneath the rear wings. The two vortice trails would be pushed
outward from the middle.

Don't forget you have a low pressure area behind the car as it travels
through the air so the vortexes may simply be pulled back to the centre of
the car.

You have lower pressure behind the rear wheels than from the diffuser
so if anything they should be sucked outward.

You have a substantial updraft from the rear wheels and an inflow of air from
the sides of the vehicle, there's only one place that upwash is going and the
split rear wind isn't going to change it.

The downwash between the wings is the idea. A flat rear end would
still be the best solution.
