For sometime i've been thinking about and drawing race cars that would take advantage of all available todays technology. Race cars that would race only on tarmac race tracks, circuits around the world.
After viewing the new video of GT5s Project X1 i can't but feel a bit dispointed about the result. At least in my mind there is a lot of possible technology that was left out.
Gran Turismo 5s Ultimate Car: Red Bull Project X1 Prototype (UPDATE: Screenshots)
Some of the things i've thought about using on a machine like this are:
Active aerodynamics - Horizontal wings that change angle, in part guided by the accelaration/braking/driving imputs but also by GPS. Also vertical 'wings' that would help the cars in those long fast corners and stabilization in braking/accelarating
Active aerodynamic systems like the Brabham BT46
All kinds of electronics aids, everything you can put in a car.
Engine is of free choice obviously
All wheel drive and stearing
Active suspension, guided thru driver input and GPS
Etc.
Some rules would have to exist, mainly refering to drivers safety.
I'd like to know what are your ideias and what you also think about project X1.
