What are the size of the plywood sheets ?
What is the ratio of reduced models you can test in ?
What is the wind speeds you can simulate ?
IIRC : Lets say these are 4x8 feet sheets. You can have reduced models inside 1x1x2. For a 6 feet wide car, this is a 1:6 ratio for the reduced model. Such ration need winds 6 times faster than the 1:1 ratio, so the 23mph is simulating speeds of 4mph.
Don't hesitate to correct me
