CARBON WEEZEL GOES TO MIRA
Summer 2009
"Carbon Weezel together with Racecar Engineering magazine took a hillclimb Mini into the MIRA wind tunnel for a hectic but very revealing half-day session to test products and to provide data for a short series of articles in its monthly Aerobytes column, written by former hillclimber Simon McBeath.
The car was provided by Graham and Neal Masters from Southsea, Portsmouth, who are already highly competitive in their class at Gurston.
Here is a brief outline of what was found."
