It does also prove a more important question, which is.. where are we supposed to train high speed persuit drivers ?  test tracks aren't real roads, nor are they designed to vaugely resemble them...

if the manufacturers of vehicles use the test tracks to test the cars capability in all areas and redesign them as required, ie brakes, vibration, aerodynamics, noise etc....the test tracks cant be that different from the normal roads or the redisign of the vehicle would be incorrect.

If they were doing a persuite then i suppose they would be engaged officialy with blues and two's, i wonder at what point would would hq tell them to back off for air support?

wing nut:
i agree to a certain degree ,but he still broke the law ,and for him to walk free without losing his licence is still wrong (my own oppinion of course) but any kind of speeding is not safe and to abuse the one thing your trying to enforce makes a mockery of it all :wink:

They are similar, but in different ways.  There is a difference (I would guess) between mechinical forces, and the "experience" of motorway driving.

Strictly speaking a wind tunnel has the same scientific forces,  but it's a lot easier to drive down :)
