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!
