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

the question is... if a car drives down a windtunnel and there is nobody in it to witness the driving... is it still cursed by Ben ?

Somebody has got to do it somewhere on a patch near you.
Advanced driving training takes the red mist from the driving experience that would otherwise be an adrenalin rush at the top end of the performance envelope of a performance car. The thrill of the chase. These emotions have to be drilled out from the police driver psyche.
When driven for three reasons I believe the law enforcement agencies we depend on are absolutely entitled to do these activities.
reason 1: To test & evaluate the suitability of a high speed vehicle.
reason 2: To train the police driver to acquire the skill and risk awareness of high speed driving under blue lights.
reason 3: High speed blue light official police business.
Training to concentrate on the driving task seperates the advanced driver from the less able driver whose mind is elsewhere when driving. Police driver training is an essential element of keeping the skills honed and will be inevitably treated with disdain by the public at large. This is the price we pay for law enforcement.

He was still breaking the law, no matter how you try and cover it up.
Why not a test track which I think has been mentioned before :?:
