Could An F1 Car Actually Drive Upside-Down?
It’d be pretty cool to see a F1 car driving upside down, but whether it’s actually possible is a completely different matter and it would require a huge amount of resources.
Even if it’s just for a PR stunt or an experiment to see if it’s actually possible, an F1 car driving on the ceiling would definitely be something we’d be up for seeing in the future.
This awesome, techy video from Driver 61 - run by racing driver Scott Mansell (no relation to Nigel) - analyses whether an F1 car could drive upside down. But, it doesn’t just focus on the car itself.
No, the video also delves into the inner workings of the car, the systems and whether they’d work, the specific environment that would be required and the teams or organisations that may be bonkers enough (and have deep enough pockets) to give it a go.

Subaru’s Boxer engine’s cylinder-configuration will be exactly the same up-side-down….
Ferrari could bring back the “Berlinetta Boxer” engine. Then you only need to worry about the fluids outside the cylinders.
It’s not. The oil sump is still there and the oil pump still only works one way. The engine will still die from oil starvation sooner or later.

I wonder if the same question goes for this brute…
Or this legend…
I don’t know why the Apollo is always called ugly, I think it’s a beautiful car.
Of course, but we still need Herr Richard Hammond to perform it in a tunnel.
It’s just a cocktease, there is no resolution here
It will happen always if they were driven in Australia lol.
Ferrofluid would be the solution for all the liquid problems
Next year F1 rule … flat plane engines
