Finally found a reference to the Cd of the type 51 open wheel GP car from Bernard's book: .74Cd and .96 CdA (m square) A CdA roughly the same as a Chevy Blazer. Not unexpected for an open wheel car.
I'd like to see a Cd estimation of those type 57 Gs that won two LeMans.
Bugatti Type 51 (1933) Cd 0.74 CdA 0.96 Simon
Bugatti Veyron Cd 0.36 CdA 0.745 Ulven
Bugatti EB110, 1993 Cd 0.30 CdA 0.52 Rüdiger C.
