Rain Machine
I am trying to remember what track it is in Europe that has installed a sprinkler system to allow wet weather testing, I think it was Toyota that had been using it?:confused: :confused:
Any help from the Nothern Hemisphere guys would help me greatly!!!

Paul Ricard definitely has one as some of the F1 teams tested there last year. I believe Berni has a vested interest in Paul Ricard (rumour has it, he owns it).

Sepang has one too, its called the Tropical Monsoon and can be relied upon to drench the place every afternoon at about 4pm.

I am pretty sure that Oulton has such a system in place for 9 months of the year.

I am not sure of the one in europe, but here in the states the virginia department of transportation built this one: http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/...artrdfacts.asp They rent it out to various people to test cars, tires, etc. There was an article in the washington post about it a while back, it seemed very interesting. Also interesting was that the operators wouldn't tell who had rented it and for what testing. Robert
