F1 car

To give you an idea of just how important aerodynamic design and added down force can be, small planes can take off at slower speeds than F1 cars travel on the track.

Without aerodynamic down force, high-performance racing cars have sufficient power to produce wheel spin and loss of control at 160 kph. They usually race at over 300 kph.

i saw this at last years motor show, the photos don't do it justice. a f1 car produces more down force than it weighs so in theory if going fast enough down a tunnel it could drive on the ceiling!
