Whilst lecturing at Loughborough University in 1989 I discovered this 10th scale wooden model under a table. It looked like Malcolm Sayer's XJ13 wind tunnel model that was tested at the University in the early 60s. We fired up the old windtunnel and created this "period" picture . . .

ground effect does work - our most extreme diffuser proposals sucked the belt off the rollers and brought the windtunnel to a grinding halt. The same thing happened during the scale model development of Team Lotus' Type 78. Today's Formula One teams use a steel belt .
