Enclosed monoposto body
I finally located a piece of data, germane to something freebeard had addressed: the aerodynamic impact of enclosing an open-wheeled car.
In addition to the Mercedes-Benz data we already had, Rezvani Motors, Irvine, California, USA, published, in 2016, that their Rezvani 'Beast', enclosed carbon-fiber- body for the Ariel Atom, reduced drag, from Cd 0.65 to Cd 0.35.
The body does add 300-pounds ( about 136- Kg ).
