A record-breaking electric race car which is probably the fastest track car in the world, at least on some tracks. The distinguishing feature is an insanely powerful fan on the bottom of the car which allows for “active downforce” that greatly increases [grip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downforce).

What I found really interesting was that despite the active downforce system making the car stupidly fast in every way, this actually makes the car easier to drive overall, since turning is more responsive, braking is more consistent, and even spins when you lose control of the car immediately stabilize.

Amazing machine. Further reading below.
