The Car I'm Going to DRIVE UPSIDE DOWN

I’m going to drive a FORMULA car upside down in a tunnel. BUT, as I said in the last video, we know an F1 car isn’t right for Project Inversion.

This is the story of how we found the perfect car to drive upside down, how we made it produce more downforce than an F1 car and how we overcame a multitude of design problems, many of which you might not have thought about.

But first, a bit more on why F1 cars aren’t right for this crazy stunt, and how much downforce, relative to the car’s mass, do we actually need to create?

Im honestly shocked RedBull hasnt done this yet. Its a very RedBull thing to do

You are about to break the internet if this succeeds

Driving a racecar upside down? Don't Aussies and Kiwis already do that on a weekly basis?

It's really cool hearing the student formula program being mentioned, because students from my university competed in it and the car was showcased in one of the buildings for a while

Secondary issue is grip to put power down when upside down, then tertiary issue is finding an engine that can run reliably upside down

[BoomCat]

Those formula studnt cars are so light that we just pick them up by hand to load them into the trailers

This was actually a pretty good summery of the entire project given the releases videos so far.

Props to the editor for making a concise short on the entire story so far.

Holy shot that’s Willem toet, my aerodynamics tutor currently!!! That man is a legend

Mcmurtry Spéirling just did it! Drove upside down, I mean

This reminds me of Evel Knievel attempting to jump Snake River Canyon. He shows up with a rocket with tiny wheels and claims it's a motorcycle.

A go cart with a motorcycle engine and some big wings 😂😂

You, sir, are not right in the head, and we love this!

[andystadi]

best luck! i’m really looking forward for the great content coming up preparing everything!

[teegee]

the big problem with it is not the downforce its when the engine is running upside down

[kohanrains]

Love that nowadays that's a humble and modest amount of

[antoniohagopian]

Pretty sure a fan car would be the best choice.

The Gumpert Apollo generated more than twice its weight in down force. Gumpert claimed it could drive upside down. However, I don't think it was ever tested.

[DB-fnfz]

Nothing can double its mass in downforce, only double its weight in downforce. Weight is a force. Mass is density times volume.

I let this comment to remind me this insane challenge, gl bro🔥!
