    Great pictures! Can really see the diffuser working on the Gumpert. Are these all in the same wind tunnel?

    Some of the numbers are hard to believe though. Like a Scuderia producing any lift at all, along with some of the others.

    Yes, this is all the same wind tunnel. I am not 100% sure on the numbers.
