That would be when the teams were driving BMC Mini Vans on the road with rear wins fitted to them that were connected to bathroom scales to measure the downforce! That's what I call real engineering!

Seriously, I was doing that as a kid racing 1/24 scale slot cars (inter-hobbyshops) in the '60s (only longitudinally) with a string tied to a light (balsa wood) rolling chassis, in front of a fan, attached to a letter scale to find the least resistant bodies..... (I found a P4 was one of the best sportscar bodies...'pencil shaped F1 bodies the difference was nil....)
