Testing police

[call_me_andrew]

How exactly does the FIA prevent teams from testing on their own? Do they hoard all PCM's not in use? What happens if someone tests at a track that the FIA hasn't given a Grade 1T rating?

You'll need an underground track or one in Siberia or North Korea so that the press doesn't know about it.
Seriously, it's impossible to run an F1 car without it being noticed by someone.

I think you'll find that straight line aero testing is excluded from the limitations of the testing ban.

Don't let silly little details like that stand in the way of the blinkered few.....
