- The 'Formula One' racing car is not really a car at all, it's an aerodynamic projectile on wheels. The most obvious feature of these 'WING' cars is a device called a 'skirt', that seals aerodynamic suction beneath the car, sticking it to the road.

Now the Paris-based ruling body ('Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile' - aka 'FIA') of motorsport has banned the skirt and thrown this new technology into disarray.
