Default Are these for Brake Ducting? 2013 GT500

Anybody? After some of the testing comments on the 2013 GT500's lack of brake ducting or brake cooling on the road course laps, I was surprised and was wondering, aren't these tapered slots on each side of the lower grill for brake cooling? Or even added ducting?? Certainly looks like it. Does anyone know for sure?? Thanks, Erik

Never seen one in person but it's possible. But if people are commenting on the lack of cooling, they're probably directing air to an engine, tranny, or diff oil cooler.
