F1 car

In a street course race like the Monaco grand prix, the down force provides enough suction to lift manhole covers. Before the race all of the manhole covers on the streets have to be welded down to prevent this from happening!

The refuelers used in F1 can supply 12 liters of fuel per second. This means it would take just 4 seconds to fill the tank of an average 50 liter family car. They use the same refueling rigs used on US military helicopters today.

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!
