Thinking of "velocity varies inversely with pressure" makes this image more meaningful to me.

This is the view from below, correct?
This is a bottom view, and a lot of the wake is coming from the wheels. Farther up on the body, this probably isn't true, but we are looking from the bottom.

Do we know the vehicle that was tested ? It would be interesting to see the wheel design / wheel well clearances.
Nope, I provided all the data they did in the article.
