Before I zoomed in on the pics I thought the gaps were black tape he'd put on for a high speed or something

Auto body shop school drop-out.

The panels are supposed to have gaps like that, for increased cooling..... Yeah, that's it.

I've seen a LOT worse...…...

And with respect to the "panel gaps", it's supposedly a race car. Panel gaps aren't huge issues of concern on race cars.
