what do you think about this:

*I'd recommend a flat bottom,except for a 2.5-degree diffuser if you can do that.There is no reason to let air under the nose of the car.
*Sculpt a close-fitting fairing in front of you,to guide the airflow onto you in your safety gear.
*Your 'turtledeck' rear fairing needs to blend into your helmet,shoulders,and anything else exposed to the air.
*Fill the void between the fairings and yourself with foam padding )kinda like is done with a kayak) to prevent errant air from entering the cockpit.
*The roll bar tubing should be streamlined.
*All exposed suspension and steering links should be streamlined.
*The wheel fairings should have the 'slowest' contours that you can stand.Very slender,very long! And they could be at least as low as the bottom of the wheels outer rim.
