Yeah, I remember the "sucker car", but that was before I was attending races in person. Not only was it "too effective", but when it lost downforce, it tended to jump off the track, much like a suction cup on a wall. It tended to fly off the track with no warning at all.
Brabham tried it in F1 in the 80's IIRC, trying to pass the big fans off as cooling devices (ha!). They were banned as well. regards, frank Keith Whaley wrote: > Paul Stenquist wrote: > > > > Thanks Frank. I remember Can Am. It was a blast.
