I'm glad to see this beauty still in action even after its retirement. I also didn't know that Mazda still had some spare cars left even after scaling down to one car in 2021. Either way, I love how all these measurements on the RT24-P will help the Porsche 963 in 2023, although I'm still sad that Mazda won't be running in IMSA along with Porsche. Maybe in the future hopefully, they'll return with Multimatic and Idemitsu. Also, seeing this car in both Soul Red Crystal and White is just fabulous!
In most wind tunnel testing I've seen, they also use smoke and other mechanisms to trace the air flow - what is the equivalent to that measure here? How do they get a visualization and measure of how the air is being moved by and moving around the vehicle? Also, are all of these measurements more valuable than what a team can get from standard static wind tunnels? - that's asked because there are increased (and not insignificant) risks associated with running a vehicle at very high speed down an enclosed and relatively narrow tunnel - the data value has to match the increased risk to driver and vehicle.
What happens when it hits 88mph Doc?😂
Great Scott !! Doc Brown is back from the Future ! 🤣

Sure I miss a lot the Mazda.

pitot arrays and/or load sensors in the suspension
Wish Mazda had committed to LMDh
I wish they would turn off the music and let us listen to the car and it's music
So no opportunity to hear the actual car in the tunnel without being blared over by stupid music. Ok got it.
bleh, show the run and talk about the tecnical after. I dont want to hear a bunch of show talk to see a car run down a tunnel
More tax payer money spent on bulls**t.
