Wind tunnels are marvels of simulation technology. A vital resource for the aerospace industry, racing teams, and automakers alike, the enormous machines are becoming especially important in the age ...

Wind tunnels are a mainstay in automotive engineering, but what if instead of simulating the car moving down the road, you could drive it down the road? That’s the purpose of the new Catesby Tunnel in ...

Ingenuity has long been at the heart of British engineering brilliance whether it’s the construction of the Channel Tunnel, or the development of world-beating racing cars. What’s more, while Britons ...

Catesby provides all of this. It is a perfectly straight, 2.7km (1.7-mile) former Victorian railway tunnel, running through a confluence of rural hillsides south-west of Daventry in Northamptonshire.

A disused railway tunnel in Northamptonshire is set to become a world-leading test facility for the self-driving vehicles of tomorrow. The 2.7km Catesby Tunnel has officially joined CAM Testbed UK, a ...

When it comes to developing a new electric supercar, all kinds of computational models are used to find out just how fast and aerodynamic the new machine will be. But when the time comes to test the ...

A tip of the hat to the editor over at Dailysportscar this morning for reminding me of one of the cooler bits of industrial repurposing in the automotive world. It’s a Victorian railway tunnel in ...

Plans for a hi-tech car test track in a disused railway tunnel near Daventry are likely to be approved tonight. A consortium, which includes the Brackley company "Totalsim, external", wants to create ...
