Wait a minute, this is wrong! You don't have ground modeled at all. Cars don't float around in space! You have to have the ground below which is moving at the same speed as the air is. Otherwise you'd model the car in a windy parking lot which is also wrong. But less wrong than freefalling car bodies. Amirite? =D

@PahaLukki You're right of course, but I think in this case it wouldn't matter because what happens under the car is sort of a set thing. I imagine most cars with the same road clearance would have similar aerodynamics in that area, and I doubt they would radically change this design unless it had protruding undercarriage components anyway, but they probably weren't decided on at this stage.
