i thought the cars were designed to have very fast air moving underneath, not much but the air that does goes faster than on top. this is because of bernouli's principle about how fast air provides less pressure in directions other than where it's moving. kinda like an upside down airplane wing.

And puting scoops under a car would interupt this, slow down the air and remove downforce. even if it did raise your top speed it would make it incredibly hard to control and would lower your cornering speed and g's (the more important part of the race, how often do cars actually reach their top speed?).
