Also, for the real techies out there, here's an interesting correction about my claims to fame in terms of drifting: When the turntable at the wind tunnel rotates (along the vertical axis - called "yaw"), the moving floor (the belt running in between the wheels) also rotates. And thus, we simulated a side wind scenario (with the wind coming in at an angle relative to the road) and not a drift scenario (where the wind direction is parallel to the road)!
