This from schumiGO on F1 CD

"F = 1/2 * rho * Cd * A * V^2
I don't know exectly situation now but in 2000 and 2001 in soe track not so fast and slow maclaren has Cd that used in F = 1/2 * rho * Cd * A * V^2 formula near 0.67 and 0.65
So now it must be a little mort 'cause aero rules had been changed..
So now range [0.75:1.25] is realy possible."
