FACILITY DETAIL
The 10,600 sq.ft. (985 sq.m) building is of standard industrial building steel frame clad construction and is spread over 3 floors. The wind tunnel sits within the facility on separate concrete foundations designed to eliminate movement and vibration. It was designed by Lola to be a stand-alone vehicle Research & Development facility. The ground floor contains various workshop areas and access to the wind tunnel rolling road. It also includes a workshop housing a valuable 7-post chassis rig, designed to test and develop vehicle structures and dynamics. It can run a full range of road and race chassis simulations, including use of aerodynamic load data generated during wind tunnel testing. The rig has not been used for several years and requires recommissioning. The first floor contains the wind tunnel working section and the wind tunnel control room plus a large workshop and tooling for wind tunnel model manufacture and modification. There is also a large lift / elevator for transporting test models and equipment from the ground floor. The second floor provides access to the wind tunnel balance equipment as well as significant tunnel plant and equipment, together with a large area for storage. The facility is served by a large car park and dedicated secure service yard.
