I've been thinking along the same lines and have started to think that airflow under the car is part of the problem.

Firstly, the back end of Roadster I had previously was finished with a curved "diffuser" below the number plate and containing the red fog and reversing lights. On the Plus 8 the bottom of the car is flat.

Secondly the Plus 8 front wings are "filled in" behind the wheels, so that air can't easily escape backwards. Instead it must go under the car as the wheels nicely fill the wheel arch, especially with Aeromax wheels.

So, I think that it is time to pay attention to the rear underside. As the underside of the car is so flat it shouldn't be too difficult to fit a Trad rear unit to the car.

I'm also going to put a case on the rack and see if that has any sort of effect on the airflow.
