I would love to see it in a wind tunnel with smoke blowing about to be sure though.

The yellow pontoon body could use attention to the stance and wheelwells.The upper body starts out well, then transitions to what I'd call a high-tailed stinger.
I doubt there is much downforce at the rear.

Maybe like a tank? If you want to steer left, to divert more power to the right wheels and less to the left.

MORE random pics...... - Page 4440 - Pelican Parts Technical BBS
I don't think they know about the importance of radius corners.
They have deflection planes down though.

This has got to add drag?
2017-2018 Honda Civic Type R Turbo Review of Specs / R&D / Development + More!
For more context, additional images in the link.
At one time I did some sketches on something similar. Intent was to control or direct the vortexes until another aero-device could swat it down.
The white and red cars in the link have a wing in the wake.

Partial rooftop fences to kill lift if it goes sideways, that move the Cp back (tailfins), and manage airflow into the wing? No added frontal area. What's not to like?
The difusser appears to be an example of a high-momentum mudflap as called out here:

A joyful video to watch, the announcer starts out with "it's not exactly streamlined is it?"................
I like the boatail myself but it is a mess with that flat windshield and those exposed wheels.
