How about closing off as much of the radiator intake as possible? I would think a lot of drag is due to the design of the cooling system.

Would an automated grill block for motorcycles work?

How about a teardrop shape on the trailing edge of the arms (of the rider) made of foam? It seems the arms are often out in the wind.

I have no idea what the rules are, so I'm just thinking online.
