Tyler; optimal aerodynamics as you know may leave the driver crash prone between the front wheels (wide car), or with the windshield four feet ahead of the drivers eyes, which may cause a Pontiac TransVan type driver disorientation of being unable to judge distances.

Neil's five seater solves some of these concerns with a center driver's position, but there may be other solutions too.

If we can answer the 4-Zone question (see the Insight), not only will it help me develop my own design, but I think could provide insight to other projects and designs.

It's about the journey, not so much an end result with only one right answer.
