Based on the results shown, the velocity distribution indicates that the front of the rear car is slower than the front car, which should result in less drag and a lower drag coefficient for the rear car. This is consistent with what we see in racing, where the trailing car experiences a drag advantage. However, my drag coefficient and drag force results appear to be the opposite of what would be expected based on this reasoning.
