I had the great opportunity to get to know a semi-professional driver on the track, who drove three rounds with me in his Subaru. That was a whole different level.
Ignoring the Mercedes-Benz CLR, of course.
Honestly, I can only imagine what’s going to happen if movable aero is ever allowed at the top end of motorsport. Think something like the McMurtry Speirling (https://youtu.be/tHIbvYWhaxA?t=999), but as if it was put through some madman’s Kerbal Space Program fever dream.
Granted, I think the memory of June 11th, 1955 will keep it from ever happening.
It shattered the previous record that had stood for 23 years.
It's not much, but F1 has the drag reduction system, or DRS, where the rear wing opens up, and gives cars up to 16 km/h additional speed.
Not that this year's Red Bulls need it anyway, they're so fast...
