Named after Eric Platford, Sir Henry Royce’s first Chief Tester and one of the most influential figures in Rolls-Royce’s early history, the facility honours a man whose expertise helped establish the marque’s reputation for engineering excellence. Platford’s contribution extended beyond vehicle development: at the 1913 Spanish Grand Prix, his skill and judgement helped secure victory for Don Carlos de Salamanca, Rolls-Royce’s representative in Spain and one of the marque’s most important early clients. More than a century later, Eric Platford’s name serves as a fitting reminder that uncompromising standards and exceptional client relationships have always been central to Rolls-Royce.

该设施以埃里克·普拉特福德命名，他是亨利·罗伊斯爵士的首位首席测试师，也是劳斯莱斯早期历史上最具影响力的人物之一。这座设施致敬了一位凭借专业技术奠定品牌卓越工程声誉的人。普拉特福德的贡献不止于车辆研发：在1913年西班牙大奖赛上，他的专业技能与精准判断助力劳斯莱斯在西班牙的代表、品牌早期重要客户之一唐·卡洛斯·德·萨拉曼卡赢得胜利。一个多世纪后的今天，埃里克·普拉特福德的名字依然恰当提醒着世人，严苛的标准与卓越的客户关系始终是劳斯莱斯的核心要义。
The Eric Platford Testway forms an integral part of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ continuing investment in the Home of Rolls-Royce, where every motor car is built by hand to fulfil its client’s vision. The new testing facility enables engineers to introduce controlled inputs to the chassis, suspension, body structure and interior components in a repeatable environment. It comprises four parallel lanes, each 90 metres in length, which together offer eight distinct surface profiles designed to stimulate specific vehicle responses. The testing process involves two passes over each surface; at fixed speed and sweeping through speeds.

埃里克·普拉特福德测试道是劳斯莱斯汽车持续投资劳斯莱斯之家的重要组成部分，每一辆劳斯莱斯汽车均在此手工打造，以实现客户的愿景。这座全新的测试设施让工程师能够在可重复的环境中，对底盘、悬架、车身结构和内饰部件施加可控的输入。测试道包含四条平行车道，每条车道长90米，总计提供八种不同的路面轮廓，旨在激发车辆的特定响应。测试过程要求车辆以固定速度和变速通过每种路面各行驶一次。
To support the marque’s constant focus on delivering an unrivalled client experience, the Testway surface profiles are designed to simulate driving experiences known to be encountered around the world. These include:

为了契合品牌始终致力于打造卓越客户体验的核心追求，特斯维表面轮廓专为模拟全球各地常见的驾驶场景而设计，具体包括：

Small and large cobblestone sections to identify potential rattles and assess ride composure大小鹅卵石路段，用于识别潜在的异响并评估行驶平顺性
‘Random Concrete Waves’ with expansion joints at 2.4-metre intervals to introduce vertical variation随机混凝土波浪”路面，每2.4米设有伸缩缝，可产生垂直方向的路面变化
Angled ‘Twist Humps’ designed to apply torsional load through opposing axle movement呈角度的“扭曲隆起”设计，通过车轴反向移动施加扭转载荷
Paired ‘Railway Tracks’ generating sequential front and rear axle inputs成对的“铁轨”路段，可依次对前后车轴施加作用力
Alternating circular iron covers to assess asymmetric response交替圆形铁盖板，用于评估车辆的非对称响应
‘Sine Waves’ corrugations measuring 12 mm in height and spaced 300 mm apart, producing high-frequency resonance“正弦波”波纹高度为12毫米、间距300毫米，可产生高频共振
Smooth tarmac 平整柏油路

Turning areas at either end of the Testway provide the opportunity to test a ‘roundabout’ style change of direction; especially useful for testing stability of any loose personal items in the cabin.

特斯特韦赛道两端的转弯区域提供了测试“环形交叉”式变向的机会；这对于测试车厢内任何松散个人物品的稳定性特别有用。
Prior to entering the Eric Platford Testway, motor cars pass through an aero-acoustic chamber where static wind-noise intrusion testing is conducted using high-pressure, variable-speed air jets mounted on a movable gantry. This allows testing at simulated speeds exceeding the UK national speed limit of 70 mph (112 km/h), including conditions comparable to those encountered on unrestricted sections of road found in some markets.

车辆在进入埃里克·普拉特福德测试通道之前，会经过一个空气声学测试室，该测试室利用安装在可移动龙门架上的高压变速喷气嘴进行静态风噪侵入测试。这使得测试模拟速度能够超过英国70英里/小时（112公里/小时）的国家限速，包括与部分市场无限速路段行驶条件相当的测试环境。
Engineers will continue to validate a sample of vehicles on a longstanding eight-mile (13 km) route on local roads surrounding the Home of Rolls-Royce.

工程师们将继续在劳斯莱斯总部周边当地道路上一条长8英里（13公里）的固定路线上对部分车辆进行检测验证。
