As for scale speed , that is for entertainment purposes only.
Real world situations work perfectly in scale or F1 teams wouldn't do mock ups in wind tunnels in 5/8th scale. Want to argue about it again?
The reason for a mock up at 5/8ths scale is you wouldn't actually be able to get a wind tunnel to run at full speed on a 1:1 scale... the thing would rip itself apart. They still have to take into account scaling effects.. hence why a number of teams have issues with wind tunnel calibration, where by gains made in the tunnel weren't being replicated in full scale.
For the flex, lets just agree to disagree...
Moving on!
