The document covers wind tunnel tests of scaled models of a representative automobile rack car. Various car configurations and arrangements were investigated to determine axial, normal, and side force coefficients for a single car with and without the interference effects of a leading, a trailing, and both a leading and a trailing car. Basic configurations were also tested through a range of sideslip angles. The interference effects from the leading and trailing cars caused notable differences between the coefficients for the one, two, and three car combinations of the configurations tested. (Author)
