Catesby Tunnel

The Catesby Tunnel is set to become the worlds premier full scale vehicle testing facility.

The tunnel is 2740m long with a huge 40m2 working section. The tunnel is perfectly straight with a gentle 1:176 constant incline.

The Tunnel will allow full scale vehicle testing in constant conditions due to the naturally stabilised environment generated from being underground. The tunnel will be fitted with automated turntables at either end to allow for return testing.

Suitable for both automotive and motorsport applications and capable of testing:

  • Vehicle Performance

  • Vehicle Aerodynamics (drag and downforce/lift)
