According to Wolf H. Hucho, it's the only thing that CAN help.
He refers to 'integration' of the wheels in to the body as the remedy.
You leave the wheels where they are and add wheel fairings, or drop the car to within an inch of the road, as the University of Michigan did with their recent sub-Cd 0.10 solar race car.
It's the closest we can come to 'retractable landing gear.'
