December 31st, 1969 It's not every day that you see a complete, three-dimensional F1 prototype part emerging from a milky polymer soup on its way to the wind tunnel, but today is one of those days. In addition to the prototyping process, a new video released by Red Bull Racing shows off how the testing and construction of the RB5 was done. From the carbon-fiber autoclave to the stereo lithograph, the wind tunnel to the chassis dyno, RBR gives us an unprecedented look behind the scenes at what goes on in the design, construction, and testing process of an F1 car. To see for yourself what goes into F1 racing, check out the video below.Red Bull Racing RB5Video: Red Bull Racing shows off F1 prototyping, construction techniques
