Thank you for explaining those cool details about the splitter, now I understand it a lot better. The last question better explained is:

Why do some of the splitters or front lips have little upward sides / tips? Imagine taking a touring wing that has the two ends pointing downward, now take that wing and put it upside down. The two ends are now pointing upwards / vertically. I know that rudders on air planes can direct the horizontal rotation of the plane, do these act the same way on splitters installed on race cars? Do these help with the stability of the front end at high speeds?
