Contractor Tarmac has delivered a high-quality finish for a novel underground automotive test track. The firm has delivered a precise test track surface built to tight tolerances. The Catesby Tunnel test strip is a smooth, 2.7km stretch of flat track in Northamptonshire, UK. The former railway line and tunnel now offers suitable conditions for testing anything on wheels, ranging from supercars to bicycles. As the track is underground it offers the capability for 24/7 testing in all weather conditions. The facility belongs to Aero Research Partners' (ARP) Catesby Tunnel and opened in December 2021, allowing every feature of a vehicle to be tested, including aerodynamics, performance, aeroacoustics, and engine emissions. |
