:lol:

Okay maybe not, it's from an artical in a mag I get at work. Rolling road wind tunnel that can simulate a complete track 8)

If anyone knows how I can host them I have the whole 4 page feature. Photobucket compresses them too much and you can't read it. Just over 30mb in jpg

Put a plane on it and see if it takes off

LOL, don't start that off!

There is another one being built that can have 3 cars on at once, presumably to simulate slip streams etc 8)

that's a rc car surely.

Would be funny to stick my Marder on there. need new exhaust and filter first though

It will be a 50% or 60% model car.

Nope, it's 1:1 scale. The belt is made from stainless steel and runs on an air bearing. It has weigh cells that can be placed under each wheel to see weight transfer etc. Anyone got a way of hosting the full artical so people can read it

Impressive, not many 1:1 wind tunnels with rolling roads about!
