A geodesic dome is a spherical or partial - spherical shell structure or lattice shell based on a network of great circles on the surface of a sphere.
You need dome type of Formula to calculate this. The formula must relate drag and surface area. Assuming the surface area is at the face of the car, or not.
A perfect dome (1/2 of a sphere) has a surface area of 2piR2. This is because a sphere's surface area is 4piR2, and dividing that by 2 would simplify to 2piR2.
It can be hemispheric or hemiparabolic. Often the spherical or parabolic nature is lost because straight segments replace curves - in the same way that a polygon with many side may replace a circle.
NONE!!!!! A Geodesic Dome is a self supporting dome made up of interlocking hexagons and pentagons.
