catamaran/ground clearance

*Honda reported the highest drag for a catamaran-type solar racer that they tested when compared to what became their 'Dream' solar racer of 1996.
*Coventry University reported that, up until the time (2012) that they tested an Audi A2, conventional wisdom dictated that decreasing ground clearance would translate to lower drag.They found that not to be the case for the Audi.
*Hucho and others caution us not to rely on rules of thumb,as there are often many exceptions to the 'rules.'
