I've been reading what has been posted here.How much drag is there with
a wheel inside a wheel well as compared to an open wheel? One sees cars
driving along in the rain and when one looks at the wheel wells you tend
to see a tremendous amount of turbulence. This must affect air flow
tremendously, adding drag along the side of the car, no? So is a
production wheel well better than an open wheel?
