In other news…
Meanwhile, in other news, Ferrari has been working on a gas thruster system in their cars. The gas thrusters will not only improve the pace but also the airflow across the aero bits of the car, making it stick to the road when cornering. This is just one of the innovative approaches taken by Ferrari in its race to road-car philosophy. Ferrari expects these thrusters to improve the car’s speed, acceleration, etc. These thrusters will also push the air between the car’s floor and the road surface. This will eventually lead to an even more downforce.
