Do 'pontoon' style side skirts offset their frontal area in a side wind ?
I added something similar to what Basjoos has on his car to mine ( the irony is that we have the exact same car ) several years ago, but wasn't convinced that they were helping my car due to sidewinds, so i removed them.
Besides city driving, the few trips that i was making were mainly on a stretch of highway that almost
always had crosswinds.
At what point does the reduction in drag offset the frontal area in a crosswind ?
( Basjoos did a fine job with his pontoons, and i love the look of them ( aerodynamically that is )
