Longest title ever! Forgive the gratuitous railway content, it's relevant I promise. I went to take a look at the Victorian Catesby railway tunnel, built and completed in 1897. Train things aside, today it's a high speed test track for cars and other vehicles.
It's arrow straight and 2.7km long... the perfect place to test high speed aerodynamics. It's all very interesting and in this video I tell the story of how it came to be and what it's used for.
Did I mention it's available for hire!? Just don't ask how much.
Many thanks to Catesby Projects - catesbytunnel....
