Changing spoiler angles, shock setups or tire pressure will be possible at the touch of a button. Then we would rebuild it two or three more times. In order to speed time to market, a lot of this is now being done on computers. Ford's Taurus was designed and on the race track in a mind-boggling nine months, thanks in large part to physical scale models and virtual wind tunnel testing. With the computer, we can change anything we want without having to spend the time and the money to take all the equipment and technicians to the wind tunnel.
Time is money for the teams and guys are going to have to find ways to do things quicker and faster.
Although virtual reality is not a new technology, motorsports applications are just being developed. Racing provides the perfect environment for the use of virtual testing. With some form of racing or testing going on nearly every week, and tracks having relatively controlled characteristics, computer models can be designed and verified quickly. It's more efficient to do things in a virtual way. They could develop virtual tracks where tire companies could come in and test tires and teams could test their cars.
