The Sauber team have done a nice Vid where they have literally cut an F1 car down the middle to show how they are made up.

Took the Mechanics over 2 years to do as a "spare time project"

That is super cool.

Must be a very uncomfortable experience having a crash in one.

I got an attack of claustrophobia as soon as I saw how the driver is packed into it.

I would rather crash in one of them than a standard family sedan or similar.

It is almost the same seating position as you have in/on a land yacht.

Im off to the shed to cut up sad effort of a landyacht and make it skinnier and tighter, I cant believe I been such a soft**ck and built enough room to be comfortable in it

good vid but could have been so much better, hardly showed the back end at all, engine/gearbox/exhaust etc. Hopefully some hi-res pics will surface...

Did you know that a F1 car can start from 0 to 160 Km/h then stop back to 0 in...
... 4 seconds !

Wonder what speed they would get on an alpha500 ?

That's insane, and to think of all the restrictions they put on the cars to slow them down, imagine what they could come up with otherwise.
