My understanding is there is no modelling work done at the factory. All the models are made down the wind tunnel
Nor -again from what I know- do they use Mclaren's WT :they rent one in Italy
Are you sure Multi?
I thought they used the second tunnel at MGP, just down the road in Brackley?
No I am not sure sure but a recent conversation I had with someone they mentioned the Brackley WT and that they used a WT in Italy to take the excess. Of course we chat about many many things (10% F1 & FI) so I could be mistaken...The MGP one would make sense at it's just the other end of the high street so it could well be true. I do know they are 24/7 WT testing atm
They have just had a CFD computer cabinet put in at the factory which seems strange as it was muted for the WT last year.(as the lasers went over the road as previously mentioned a spare room was available)
One thing you can always rely on with FI. The first plan of action is seldom the final one for any given event!
But it's all good and whilst a certain blogger is eagerly awaiting their demise -or at least VJ's- there is a buzz now and it's all positive.
I can't see 3rd but you gotta try and who know's what 3rd Feb may bring?
