Title: Hidden Wind and Test Tunnel - I WANT ONE! Post by: Ezeon on March 10, 2011, 01:39:40 PM This is such a cool facility, this is an abandoned highway tunnel turned into aerodynamic testing building by Chip Ganassi's team.
The thing is a mile long and works by driving the car through it at speed, instead of the traditional fan setup. http://www.racecar-engineering.com/articles/nascar/the-secrets-of-laurel-hill/ Title: Re: Hidden Wind and Test Tunnel - I WANT ONE!

$$$$ saved by running this place must be going to good use over the last 5 or 6 years. Ganassi's team in Nascar the last few years, has been vastly improving. They have been pretty successfull in IRL, and they are and have been the benchmark for other DP teams for some time now. Really neat idea! |
