F1 car drives on the ceiling!

This is a video showing a Williams F1 car driving on the roof of a tunnel. We produced this video for Compaq in 2001.

It demonstrates the theory that an F1 car can produce enough downforce so that if running upsidedown at 200KPH or faster the downforce creates an upward lift greater than the weight of the car and so, in theory, will stick to the ceiling.

We've yet to find a driver who will do it for real!

Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake, Don't brake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick! Somebody get a petition together for Red Bull to have this tested in real life. It would make great television, anyways.

like magnam in animes

[samirooable]

they can build an f1 with small wings that can do long jumps and that can be controlled like an air plaine while it is in air for seconds,also it may rmake a controlled junp and run in a strict line 1 meter of the ground,that is possible if that is controlled automatically,and it is also more confortable if the car is guided from distance,it may also do controlled flips or 360 :) like a rocket

@kaiserdragon33 why dont u go test it!



[kaiserdragon33]

@baretings1 oh you are boring i was having a lot of fun making that muscle dude waste his time but now i got bored of this hehehe

[baretings1]

@kaiserdragon33

yes, but we already know it works. We dont need to test it.

Also, flying to the moon is a little differnt to driving a car on a celing dont you think?

inputting mathematical / physics formulae to create a mechanical representation of a car using our knowledge of the laws of physics is as effective as building a tunnel and trying it.

Without wasting time.

Accept that its possible and move on.

let me just tell you something.

Im 18 and i know that. So your either 12 or retarded.

[kaiserdragon33]

@baretings1 there is always people crazy enough to do it, if we can travel to the moon and return and test a vehicle on a dessert that travels over 500 km/h where a single error could end the testers life, there should be someone willing to test this.

there is crazy people everywere, and with the technology advancements of today, if there is a possibility, everything happens.. i believe there is everything you need to test something like this.

[baretings1]

@kaiserdragon33

isnt it pretty obvious why?

what money is to be made from building a long enough tunnel and risking someones life just to test out a basic physics principle, known for probably 200+ years?

what idiot would invest in that?

[kaiserdragon33]

@baretings1 then again why hasnt anyone done that? come on go call and make that crazy travis pastrana to do it he likes doing suicide stuff, he could help.

[baretings1]

@kaiserdragon33

you show here that you have absolutely no fucking clue what you are talking about.

if you knew physics you would know that the only vertical forces acting are weight and downforce. And if there is more downforce than weight, the car will stick to whatever surface regardless of any "sorts of conditions"

i would say go back to school but im almost 100% sure you still are in school. If not, you are mentally inable.
