Wtf he cant even get the time to beat the challange this seems really gay

[Dinothegreek08]

@Kamilpolski1

I am pretty sure he can. That was just a random lap

If I can, I'm sure he can :D

[Aikenvile]

This car feels like it's running on a railroad.

[Dinothegreek08]

@Aikenvile Well it was made by Adrian Newey what did you expect :p

[Tomasch]

Wow, this looks really realistic.

[WhatThePresidentSays]

Your complaining that he sucks at playing it.

YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

he drives a real F1 car, how bout you?

[VHT418]

@Kamilpolski1 He also can't even win the F1 championship back to back. that seems really gay

[jazzykoenig]

It's pretty impossible to drive without a steering wheel

[Eagleye2026]

he sucks... hes driving in automatic xD

@ASSHOLELA Ah, yes, those are some good points. I Guess the X2010 was designed to be "driven" in a perfect plain surface, not on the tracks the game provides. As for the reliability, that's another thing that should be in GT5. No one would drive british cars if they were as reliable as their real-life counterparts :)

[ASSHOLELA]

Im not bashing red bull, but if they say that such would be possible without rules and regulations and such, they should create a real life prototype, and not a 'sim' for the game GT5. They have the money. Even GT5 is not a platform to model such theoretical assumptions. It can't do all the calculations about how the vehicle should perform when you're at this xkmh, at this particular position on the track, with other factors such as tyre degradation and so forth.

[ASSHOLELA]

3. To maintain a constant vaccuum , the sides of the car must be effectively sealed. When the car pitches or yaws, seal is lost. . If you don't seal, there is air coming in at one side, and being sucked out in "the center", this imbalance at the massive amounts of downforce we're talking about could be fatal.

4. At 8gs and 300-500++kmh constantly, the tyres will perhalps degrade in as little as 5 mins. Yet i see gamers doing 5 laps on the 'Ring, or 12min++.

@rafaelpereira87

a fan car would be theoretically possible, but problems still do exist.

1. You are not sucking out air to provide 150lb of downforce like the chaparral. You are sucking out over 2000kgs of air. Where are you going to chuck this air out without creating massive turbulence?

2. Fan cars are notoriously unreliable. When the surface of the ground changes, the car can suddenly lose all it downforce and flip.

@ASSHOLELA

The technology they used to give the X1 these cornering speeds is based mostly on the fan under the car, the same principle used in the Chaparral 2J. So the car is light, it has an absurdly low CD, and most of its downforce comes not from air resistance provided by the wings, weight or overall car shape, but rather by the fan sucking the air from under the car.
