Goran,

Interesting list. Did they ever test an Ariel Atom?

No, they didnt test Ariel Atom.

I measured the underbody pressure with a hole in the floor with a welded on pipe, 2mm inside hole. A hose conected to the pipe is leading to a can with coluoured water. With a scaled transparent tube I can see the if the water is rising or beeing lower in the can.
The can is wented throught a pitot tube on the roof of the car to get the reading against outside barometic pressure.

The can can also be connected to a small sensor thet can be located at different spots like the front to measure splitter overpressure.
