Oh, it's even cooler... it's for his brother's birthday, and his brother is an F1 car designer and the 3 model cars this wind tunnel is being built to accommodate are all cars that he has had a hand in some part of the design of. It has a lot of deep personal meaning to the recipient of it, in addition to being very unique.
It's also super cool my colleague is doing this, considering his brother wrote off his McLaren. But as my colleague said, there's no point having these cars if you're not taking them to tracks and pushing them to the extreme, so the risk of bending them is part of the deal. That car is getting a full rebuild, the cost is eye-watering.

my colleague is making a wind tunnel.
it's just for model cars, but has required 3d printing everything, solving how to get laminar flow smoke trails, and everything... but look at the outcome so far, and it's not yet finished.
