Default Formula One car on the public roads

It might be a re-post but the sound is immense.

Robert Doornbos from red bull racing F1 team. He is like a national hero in Holland so they allowed him to do that.

In the wet.

In the dry on a Dutch Motorway

wtf

Imagine seeing that coming the other way on the motorway

Also, amazed at the people in the 1st video who don't even look twice as an F1 car comes screaming past as they are waiting to cross the road

i can only imagine they were total numpties by cloing the roads off to traffic, and yet, still allowing brolly toting loonies to walk across in front of it

there is some bloke in malaysi who's already got one
he had to crash 3 of them to make sure they approved it for road going safety stuff though but it's all legit with indicators and everytihng

but i think it's a f3000 car rather than a full on f1 ricer
