Which left only the dimensional analysis.
Some of the solar cars winning the World Solar Challenge are already using the template. The lowest drag 'car' ever measured uses it. It was relevant to them. What do I make of your comment?
The 'template' works in their wind tunnels and CFD, but not at EcoModder?
Er, no. It left aerodynamic testing and development, not guesswork from drawings.
