    If you could overcome those problems, and provide a suitably shaped track which would "flip" the car once it had achieved the required velocity, then you're in business.

    I am sure Honda could provide the necessary bodgy fuel tank and fuel pick-up system to overcome this problem. :

    Another thing, if you are racing upside down, and you miss the ramp to get back right side up, does the car leave the tunnel and then fly UP and then down as gravity takes over????
