So what are the advantages of running a high rake angle?
A small rake angle generates a venturi-like effect from the floor, where the majority of the ground effects (or downforce) is generated. This angle is extremely sensitive, even one-tenth of an inch one way or the other one either the front or rear end can have a significant effect on downforce.
By running the car in this position sends more air top the diffuser located at the back of the car.
