Aero help
I along with 2 others are designing a body for a electric car that we are racing for our school. The chassis is complete and race ready, but it needs a body. We are planning on thermoforming plastic peices for it so that we keep the weight to an absolute minimum. We have a large thermoformer and are able to do all of this. I just need some guidance as to what to do for aero for this vehicle. Ill post pics of the chassis asap, but its a 3 wheeled vehicle and its small.
If anyone has any sites to check out or books to read that would be greatly appreciated.

do a search around the Volvo site, they designed a body that won the gravity race. Its real slick and has lots of wind tunnel time.

I just checked that out, looks pretty cool. Our car isnt THAT small but it does help to generate some ideas by viewing the pros.
