You would need to do a very accurate 10 or 20-position pitot-tube traverse of the near wake,average all the pressures,then see if any one specific sampling position happened to represent the mean average pressure.Then from there on out,do all your sampling from only that location.
Short of that,we'd be guessing as to the actual wake conditions back there.

What are your opinions about whether there is downforce from the front increasing drag?
