![[Jenna Fryer] Andretti Global has built an F1 car to the 2023 specs in Cologne that will test next week in the Toyota wind tunnel.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e7e632f3-9f60-4d10-b0b7-f754d06bc261.png){kind=link}
Michael Andretti says he is still hoping to be on the grid in 2025, but still waiting for conversations with F1/FOM to even begin.

Again I will direct you to Appendix 7 Article 3. Literally the first sentence.
But also on the Toyota wind tunnel. It’s specifically set up for Motorsport. It’s the Gazoo Racing facilities. McLaren used it, Force India used it, There’s probably countless other smaller teams that use it. It also features a rolling road and fancy laser sensors.
Meanwhile the first search for GM wind tunnel, shows one that takes clay models on a stationary platform.
Even someone as obtuse as you could make the connection they’re using the Toyota tunnel.
“The following restrictions apply during RWTT: Only wind tunnels that use air at atmospheric pressure as the test fluid are permitted.” That’s the first sentence in 2023 rules to which the model has been built and I already wrote that they use regular air.
That’s not a reason why GM’s don’t conform to the rules as you repeatedly claimed without ever going into detail.
Btw. I’m well aware of the facilities relatively close to where I live. I don’t need introduction to Toyota’s Cologne facilities.
That’s your research into GM’s wind tunnels? Not surprising that you cannot point to where the car company that owns several wind tunnels, incl the world’s biggest automotive wind tunnel, doesn’t comply.
You’re again resorting to insults without being capable to point to specifics. What happened to you that you act this way?
I’m calling you obtuse, because if I called you thran you’d have to look it up. And you’d still end up with the wrong definition
You are so caught up in this GM partnership. That you are missing the forest for the trees.
Why would Andretti, a team trying to show they can compete in f1. build a f1 spec model and then test it at an approved wind tunnel facility that other teams have used in the past. It doesn’t take a genius to work out why.
McLaren have been using the Toyota wind tunnel because the one they own isn’t up to the job. And if McLaren didn’t have one up to spec, there is no chance GM would have a wind tunnel up to spec. Someone with your claims should know that.
A discussion is fine but please refrain from insulting other members.
Then stop being thran.
If you want a discussion, then have a discussion, but that’s not possible if you are so insistent on creating an issue where there isn’t one.
I am not the one you had a discussion with and i am kindly asking you to stop insulting members of this community.
