I see a lot of technology from sportscars coming to our roadcars. Think of Audi's "FSI" fuelinjection system,of carbonceramic brakes,even whole engine designs are being taken over(Porsche GT3 has much in common with the GT1 blocks).
At least realtime motorsports as sportscars and WRC DO actually provide our cars with innovative technology. Something which can no more be said from F1.

Talking about the undertray, the road relevance of ground effect aerodynamics depends on your definition. Many people only define ground effects as the use of venturis between the wheels. That's why it's said that Formula 1 has banned ground effects, while diffusers are still allowed.
Any way, I agree that Prototypes are significantly more relevant for road cars than Formula 1 cars. But I'd like to see even more room for relevant innovations.
