Default Videos of Insight wind tests

Hi all,

Somebody on Ecomodder made a video of his hatch window with wool tuffs on it, showing the air stream


and further in the thread there is a Honda video wind tunnel test. It's in Japanesse and I understood Honda and CD.... it's about 2.5 min long, very interesting. Shows the techs actually sculpting a clay model in the wind tunnel which sort of leads you to believe that is exactly the way they designed some of the aerodynamics of the body.
