The planned aerodynamic testing restrictions in full:
- Teams to use no more than one wind tunnel. ( garage sale for 2-3 teams - Used wind tunnel)
- Test fluid to be air at atmospheric pressure.
- Maximum test section wind speed 50m/sec.
- Maximum model scale 60 percent.
- No more than one model to be tested during a run.
- Maximum usage to be equivalent to 15 runs per eight-hour day on five days per week for team F1 purposes. Tunnel may be contracted out at other times.
- Aerodynamic testing may only take place in wind tunnels if at reduced scale or at FIA approved test tracks if full scale. Full size testing to be subject to the F1 testing agreement.
- Full scale specific aerodynamic testing is to be reduced to 5 days per year.
- Restrictions will be imposed to stop shift of resource from wind tunnel testing to CFD.
- The number of people involved in CFD development will be limited to a number to be agreed.
- CFD computer systems will be characterised in order to set hardware performance limits but growth will be allowed year-on-year to allow for hardware / software development.

To pass off those restriction, you ask a business friend to create his company that construct a wind tunnel and develop stuff that you need, and give you the info. You pay back with sponsor. Muahaha, easy to say, complicated to do, but possible to avoid a penality, cause hard to proof, and who will know that a team is using info from a factory that use a wind tunnel in China at low cost Ok in simple word, use some else to wind tunnel test for you, nothing in rules says that?
