Designing a Tunnel for an Upside-Down Formula CarExplore the incredible engineering behind designing a tunnel that could allow a Formula car to drive upside down, using downforce to stick it to the ceiling. This video breaks down the aerodynamic ...
The McMurtry Speirling "fan car" creates more than 2G of downforce at any speed - which adds performance, but also makes this stunt possible.
To drive upside down using conventional aerodynamics, an F1-style car would need to hit at least 100–150 mph to generate enough downforce to exceed its own weight and “stick” to the ceiling.
Watch the McMurtry Spéirling Pure VP1 defy gravity as the electric fan car drives inverted, shattering records with its insane downforce.

An Electric Car Drove Upside Down. The Secret Lies in Its Engineering. McMurtry’s Spéirling can produce maximum downforce at 0 mph thanks to a fan system that “sucks” the car into the ground.
McMurtry Spéirling drove upside down using nothing but active downforce from fan technology. It’s the first demonstration of its kind after years of theorization that it’s possible to do such ...
Driving upside down has long been a bit of a gag among engineers, but the McMurtry Spéirling just proved once and for all that it can be done. You have to see it for yourself.
For as long as Top Gear can remember, the old adage that ‘an F1 car can drive upside down’ has been nothing more than a passing joke. Turns out, McMurtry isn’t laughing.
