Unless it's a sale-leaseback (which I doubt), that makes me sad.

Quite a lot (as expected), but to be an owner of such important windtunnel? I'd say that's quite priceless. I wonder who will buy it and use it.

Hard to say. It tests up to 50% scale, so F1 is out of the question, not unless they reduce their 60% testing rule down to 50% testing, although I could be wrong. They may have done so already. Who knows.

Indycar teams could still test there, although Dallara as a manufacturer uses the Arc facility for their testing in the US. Maybe F2, F3, BTTC etc?
