if you look at a race car's front air dam (a properly designed one, like V8 supercar ones), they have a curve going upwards at the back of them. this does the same thing, creating a low pressure vacuum to 'suck' it onto the road. This suction is actually better than the 'true' downforce created by the front of the bar (the spoiler area), as the same amount of downforce can be generated with less air-drag.

hope this helps

I completely missed the obvious! Yeap, understand it totally.
