Reference Area

Guys i was doing my simulations without change the standart reference area, but when i change to the correct reference area my drag coefficient increased too much, i work with f1 in schools, a championship of formula one miniatures so my reference area was 852mm²(0.000852m²), is that normal to happens?

i know changing the reference area affects the drag coefficient but I thought the drag coefficient increasing a little weird
