# hahahah!
excellent!


you know an F1 car could stay stuck to the track if it were going really fast, and the track just happened to be flipped upside-down

# Not geeky enough
I want an estimated speed required. Assume the car mass is at a point.

# /looks up
Did a member of the Minardi team touch you in a private place when you were younger?

# no
there just really slow, and i think technically
lack the power to do a loop the loop on any track.
if the tv money was split equally they would stand a better chance

# I was told 100 mph when I went to the GP.
- that is the rear spoiler (which actually does something rather than a chav badge of (dis)honor) can create enought downward force to keep a mini on the ceiling.

1. F1s weigh less than minis.
2. The force is only over the back wheels. You would need to move the spoiler into the middle - over the centre of gravity for it to actually be 'pinned' to the ceiling.
3. The force they can create is variable. You want more downforce for slower bendy tracks and less for faster ones. Sometimes you can also see someone ripping a strip off them in the pits.
4. Are you mental? Would YOU get in a car on the ceiling?
5. Woo the pic. It's ace.

# They create enough down force
to travel up side down on the celing of a tunnel at just 60mph.

or so I have been told.

I think you'd have to be going a bit faster than that.

if it had unladen swallows tethered to it?

Or buttered toast.
