Right 1 big one, and a couple of smaller ones.
The big one allows full scale testing of F1 and road cars. To operate at 200 real miles per hour takes 80,000 HP at the fan! |

They have a new building which is devoted to the aero testing, I don't know how many tunnels are in it, but I too have heard that it runs 24 hours a day. How much would it suck to spend between midnight and 8am each day watching smoke go over a model. |

I saw an article that said Ferrari's F1 program has three wind tunnels running 24 hours a day. Anyone know if this is true? |
