i hate it when aerodynamic engineers lie about their cars.

an f1 car or any other car cannot drive upside-down at 100 mph.

think about it. the right way up you have gravity acting on the car and you have the downforce. if your upside-down you would need enough down force to overcome the weight of the vehicle and exert enough down force in order for it to actualy make contact with the surface and alow it to drive. you would need about 800kg's of downforce and there is no way in hell this car can produce that amount.

an f1 car weighs 500kg's so would need 1.1 tones of down force.

its all bull and i hate engineers (or so called) telling people its true.
