by using ultra light ultra strong materials...why do you think F1 is so expensive?
a single carbon brake disk costs well over a grand...and theres 4 on a car...plus they only last one race! |

getting an engine to rev that highs not hard.
Anything over 14-15krpm is tricky with valve gear, thats why F1 use pnuematics etc for valve control.
Bottom end has big bores short strokes, all boils down to piston speed and metalurgy at the end of the day. |

Is very impressive stuff but they reckon the v8's they're using next year will rev even higher, up to 20-21k |

slightly irrelevent, but along the same lines, space shuttle consumes half a TON of fuel per second!  |
