Did you notice the new Maclaren T33 has diffusers ahead of the front wheels that provide downforce?
I tried googling some images of the front wheels and can’t see diffusers or anything?

And the black and white pic you showed pretty much shows the shape the ice was making behind my tires. Obviously the “ c” curve towards the lower tire would provide the lowest drag, and that’s what nature was forming with the ice too, but I’d probably have to leave a little space and make it more vertical than curving it inwards just to allow rain water or road debris to escape better. Obviously those shapes work better for dry flat racing like in that pic, versus real world daily driving in bad weather.
