Drafting (aerodynamics): Drafting in sport, Overview & Tailgating and hypermiling

Drafting, or slipstreaming, is an aerodynamic technique where two moving objects are aligning in a close group to exploit the lead object's slipstream and thus reduce the overall effect of drag. Especially when high speeds are involved, as in motor racing and cycling, drafting can significantly reduce the paceline's average energy expenditure and can…
