No substitute for during your homework starting with fluid mechanics basics then proceeding to aircraft design and automotive applications. Check local college libraries and book venders such as Amazon. The Society of Automotive Engineers list reference books and articles for a price. "Race Car Aerodynamics: Design for Speed" by Joseph Katz covers basics for DIY mechanics and has many references at the end of each chapter. Just remember modern race cars are more concerned about downforce than drag.
