Wind Tunnel Door Shut, Cows are Gone!
posted in Formula One |
At a meeting of the World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) in Monaco, the FIA announced the dramatic new regulations that it hopes will bring down costs in the sport.
Part of the so called cost cutting measures is placing a limitation on the amount of time a team can spend in a wind tunnel. Teams are allowed to the use of no more than one wind tunnel (yes, some spend thrifts have more than one), and they can only be used for 15 runs per eight-hour day - and only five days per week.
My question is, has the WMSC slammed the barn wind tunnel door shut after the cows have fled to pasture? (or to my way of thinking, the meat market in the form of Standing Rib Roasts & Porterhouse Steaks)
