michael - from my understanding 'ground effect' underbody design actually has a 'scoop' type front, deliberately bringing air in under the body... then the shape of the uderbody (like a venturi) accels, then decels (sucks) the air out of the back of the vehicle through a outward tapering rear diffuser.

Ed as far as F1 cars go you are correct, later variations on high perfomance motor cars like ferrari and lamborghini actually used diffusers with large vents in the front sorta like what the front of a V8 super car has but smaller, these vents directed air primarily under the car to create as you correctly put it the venturi effect. F1 could not use these designs as they created more restrictive forces than was acceptable for aerodynamics thats why they use the front wing to guide the air under the chasis.
if you read some of the links i posted it goes into it there.
