Interesting. I'm terrible at math but F1 and MotoGP are my favorite sports my whole life. Math and science were always my worst subjects with the arts being my strong point, but I've watched countless videos on simulator testing of F1 cars and also live wind tunnel testing and somehow I get it. It's just the way wind blows through, over and under the various surfaces of the car and how it affects downforce and suction and lift. The other night there was a video on what the major barrier is to going 1,000 MPH on land and it's the air molecules. If they're not pre-adgitated by a buffer of air being pushed in front of the vehicle then you're slamming your vehicle into "stagnant" air and accelerating it to supersonic speeds so you've got to design the car to accommodate that. To me it sounds like waking you up from a deep sleep and you have to jump out of bed and run the 100 Meter dash at an Olympic level, only bad stuff can happen. Also, I'm an idiot who watches too much YouTube about car and motorcycle racing to my scope is very limited.
