The road is closed but there is no safety for the pedestrians or the driver. He can crash into a tree or something...
Imagine going for a walk and listening the screaming engine....
Then after a while seeing the water spray fron the diffuser...
and then seeing the actual car....

Nice find Lightweight. It's nowhere near the speeds that it should reach, but it's still cool. I still wonder, it must be a safety nightmare. How are you to drive that car safely in the wet? It must be very difficult.

Wow, that would have been great to see. Imagine the surprise the public got by seeing that. I would have been like, I must be seeing things, that could not be a F1 car on the street. Anyone know if anything was actually on fire at the end? I saw them spray something.

It's pretty easy if you use the combination of experience and Traction Control.

Funnily enough, members of the Toyota F1 team were victims of an attempted carjacking/robbery on their way back to the hotel from the Interlagos circuit. They were approached at the traffic lights by a gun-toting gang of hoodlums who fired shots and attempted to kick the windows in. Dangerous place Sao Paolo! :eek:
