This was the point of my 2-Point design which matured into a 5-Point design.
It's fine and dandy to develop a 1-Point design, but if wheels and people cannot fit into it, then what good is it?
By taking each of the major elements, the 4-wheels (+4) and the passenger/driver canopy (the +1) and optimizing those for aerodynamics we arrive at a more practical 5-Point solution.
In practice this approach shows up as salt flat racers and several LeMans type race cars.
