Soldato
But if it was on a treadmill, would it still take off?
LOL. I remember that thread. People got SO angry.

They need to do something a bit clever to get fuel out of the tank in a F1 car. I remember reading an interview with a F1 team engineer a while ago, who said one of the biggest challenges they face with fuel is keeping it flowing when cornering because the fuel sits all up the side of the tank, so they can't just pump from the bottom of the tank like road cars. It didn't say how they do it though.
I'm skeptical.
Aside from the fact the engine wouldn't run long upside down. Would the traction remaining be enough to sustain x mph against the drag?
Not too sure if 70mph is correct given the mass of the vehicle and the radius of the tunnel but in theory the centrifugal forces should be able to counteract normal gravity force and contact forces.
