How do they get air through that thing to cool the brakes?

visited the old BR brake testing facility in Derby (selling non contact laser measuring probes). We were in a bunker 50 meters from the testing area (sadly nothing exploded then either ).

Do you work for Renishaw's?

For those that have never been I cannot recommend highly enough a trip to the Le Mans 24 hour race. Arnage corner at 3am is spectacular - glowing discs coming into the corner and the blasts of exhaust flame on the way out.

Bit different now there are more diesels but the Aston Martins etc in the GT classes make for quite a show. The diesel LMP class cars swooshing past quietly make for a fairly surreal experience. Must get back there soon.
