I flipped the 2J over but I can't figure whats on the bottom???

It almost looks like a police lightbar.

Looks like a hinge, so you can fold it up and carry it on the bus.
 
Perhaps it's a guard to stop the fans sucking up debris. The air intake for the fans is just behind it.
 
Didn't the actual car have some flexible rubber skirting to "seal" the underbody while the fans sucked the air out from beneath?

ETA: Not rubber, but Lexan.

Look at the thickness of that Lexan! And not the lever system for raising or lowering it. It seems to be hooked to the fans somehow. Genius!

Can someone flip the X2010? The cars use the same technique to increase the downforce and the X2010 is a premium car, the 2J is a standard, if I'm not wrong. So on the X2010 the buttom of the car should also be made with more details.

If the X2010 has the same thing down there it should be more clearer to figure out what it is
 
On the 2J, just behind the front wheels, there is a spring-loaded transverse seal going across the bottom of the car. Together with the side and aft seals, it helps create the vacuum that provides the downforce, effective even in low speed turns.
 
The 2J and the redbull and some other cars have fans on the bottom so that when it goes off a small hill it sticks to the ground and doesnt go flying, just like the redbull.

Its actually very easy to flip the X2010, and you can do it in the challenge. Just take the first corner at the Nurburgring track at too fast a speed and try and cut, the car will fly over and flip.

Or just go on trial mountain and flip at the last corner.

The bottom of the X1 looks like lady parts.

No offence to your lady, but if her 'lady parts' include two large oval things then she a dude.

OT: I'm pretty sure that they're (as already suggested) skirts to 'seal' the undertray against the track.

Yes that is indeed what it is lol.

His lady must be Lady Gaga:crazy:.

This is why wives and girlfriends should have their own account so they don't cost you 500,000cr to fix a cars structure everytime they do a lap, nevermind letting them drive a real frigging car!

Ona brighter note, could the OP or someone else who can, let me know what the max/min downforce front and rear is on the 2J, please? It's 50-150 front and 50-200 at the rear of the X2010.

May not be so much on the 2J since it doesn't really have much spoilers.
