On the eve of the 2025 season, Aston Martin have announced that they are now using their new in-house wind tunnel at the AMR Technology Campus in Silverstone.
Shortly before first practice for the Australian Grand Prix began, the team announced that they had begun using their new, state-of-the-art set-up, describing it as “the latest piece of the puzzle” in their journey toward a planned championship challenge.

Becoming Aston Martin’s FIA-nominated wind tunnel after a previous shared arrangement with Mercedes, it will be used to support the development of the 2025-specification AMR25, as well as their “big focus” on the squad’s 2026 challenger.
The tunnel is housed in a 60,580m3 building, which also includes advanced additive manufacturing machines and a model build area for new, highly sophisticated 60% scale car models “enabling rapid development and better operational efficiencies”.
