A top notch French engineer is designing a no rules F1 car with incredible potential performance, knocking an unheard of 10-15 seconds off the typical lap in today's F1 cars. By comparison, improvements to conventional F1 cars look to get just tenth of seconds improvements. Just look at how futuristic it is in the video preview! It's not been built yet, but a stated aim is that it must be buildable with current technology. Unfortunately, F1 has hundreds of rules that limit what goes into a car, so it's unlikely to actually be raced in an official F1 race, but it's nice to dream and some aspects of it are sure to make it into future F1 cars. Who knows, some wealthy enthusiast might actually get one built as a demonstrator for what could be. It would be visibly faster on TV, too.
Here's another great video from the same channel asking how fast can an F1 car get before it becomes undriveable. Turns out the limits aren't with the car or technology, but our frail human bodies with relatively low limits on g-force and reaction times. Current cars do around 250mph, but could a 300-400mph car be possible? Find out.
