Ok left field suggestion alert........how about the childrens mitten approach. Have one tether linking both uprights at each end running through the wishbones and chassis. That way you only have four fixing points on the entire car. One at each upright with two tethers running the width of the car.

The main simulator also falls inside the summer factory shut down although there are rumours of Ferrari F1 simulators begin run outside the core f1 team.
Press days and demonstration events are not covered by the test ban
