Description
My goal for this research project is to determine whether a present day formula 1 car (2022 and beyond) could drive upside down in the right conditions. This project will dive into two major areas necessary that will determine the possibility of this experiment. Firstly, these cars are built around a singular physics principle called the Venturi effect, which channels air through thin tunnels creating a vacuum effect keeping the cars stuck to the ground. Secondly, this effect will be combined with the most optimal conditions necessary and what kind of surface the car will drive on that will generate successful results.
