2017 Toro Rosso STR12 F1 Wind Tunnel Rear Wing Main Planes – Development Component
Artefact Description
An original Formula One wind tunnel rear wing main plane assembly from the aerodynamic development programme of the 2017 Toro Rosso STR12.
These aerodynamic elements formed part of a scale wind tunnel testing model used during the development of the STR12 Formula One car, designed and operated by Scuderia Toro Rosso during the 2017 Formula One World Championship.
Manufactured from precision-machined aluminium, the components replicate the geometry of the rear wing main plane used on the race car and were utilised in aerodynamic testing to analyse airflow behaviour, downforce generation, and rear wing performance.
Wind tunnel development parts such as these are produced in limited numbers and are rarely released outside team environments, offering collectors the opportunity to own a genuine engineering artefact connected to the world of Formula One.
