I suspect Virgin will be able to get a decent car going but the problem is when it goes wrong and an update doesn't work on track as CFD claimed it should. What are they going to do next? How do they figure out where things went wrong and why it doesn't work? I bet they'll have to rent a windtunnel to work things out or run the risk of not being able to trust their CFD anymore.

There is another way, the flow vis and cages of arrays methods used by McLaren during recent times but it requires them to use their limited number of engines in order to get the data they need so at the end of the day it still isn't as convenient as a wind tunnel.
