On pressure measurements:

I do have access to pressure transducers, dataloggers etc however there are issues with such measurements.

The first of which would be that due to the variability (wind, temp, position on road/track etc) you would need to measure all locations at the one time and measure the body position (pitch, roll etc) relative to the road at the same time. Just setting up the transducers (we have) to measure the body position could take days.

Then you need to be able to interpret the results!

It would probably be almost as easy to just make mods and test them on the track (you can do consistent lap times to within 1/10 sec can't you? )

This is always going to be an interesting subject, aerodynamics on planes would be so much easier.
