Is “BTS with DTS” the Korean band with the F1 drivers from Drive To Survive?
Is it that time of year again? I completely missed this and haven’t seen any advertising for it or coverage.
The RB17 is Adrian Newey’s long-awaited non-F1 car, a track-only hypercar into which he’s poured the contents of his planet-sized brain. It’s powered by a Red Bull-spec, Cosworth-made 1,000bhp 4.5-litre V10 that can rev to 15,000rpm, aided and abetted by a 200bhp e-motor. The name? When Covid stopped the world turning, Red Bull didn’t run an F1 car called RB17. Now the lonesome badge has a home.
Only 50 of the bespoke RB17s will be made. And even with its monstrous price tag of just under £6 million (€7.1m / $7.7m / R140m!) it’ll probably sell out (if it hasn’t already) before the FOS weekend is over.
F1 should buy one to use as the GP Safety Car.
Oof! That wheel spin
Who would win in a wheel to wheel race between an F1 Car, a Rallycross Car, a Drift Hypercar and a Pro4 Truck? For a fair head to head battle we built the ultimate motorsports race track, with a combination of asphalt and dirt lines specifically optimised for the individual strengths of each vehicle which should create a nail biting race that peaks with all four cars coming together in the final corner.
