    I know I don’t have the skills to drive one (at least not yet lol) but those things are engineering marvels.

    I’ve always wanted to see one invert at speed to see if their downforce really is enough.

    I can’t imagine all the materials sciences that go on behind the scenes.

      Driver61 on YouTube is trying to do that exact thing! He’s still in the planning stages but it’s exciting

      So much cool matsci!

      The exhaust is no longer titanium (it’s inconel) because they 3D print the complicated bits of it now instead of traditional forming techniques
