RacingBulls TV: Tour of the Bedford Wind Tunnel
By Ian Lockwood
August 20 2007
In Episode One, Team Principal, Christian Horner takes us on a guided tour around the Bedford Wind Tunnel. The wind tunnel was built in the late 1940s and was used by the Royal Aircraft Establishment to put military and civilian vehicles and aircraft through their paces. Jaguar Racing purchased the tunnel put in place a rapid refurbishment plan.
It appears that an approach of "more haste less speed" would have ultimately brought about more speed as initial results from the tunnel have not correlated with what was happening out on track. A recalibration exercise hopes to resolve those problems.
Let us know what you think about the first installment of RacingBulls TV and look out for Episode 2 coming shortly.
