May the Force be with the driver.

And especially with the other cars' drivers.

Would often meet a 'clever' driver who would say something along the lines of "You'd never be able to catch me if I didn't want you to driving this car".

The stock answer was usually "Bet it can't travel faster than a radio signal".

They write it has a V10 engine with 600 HP. The chassis and cockpit are exclusively build of carbon fiber and aluminum. The cockpit is isolated, and removable as a complete entity, like a capsule. The car has flaps on the roof and back that move according to driving and speed conditions.

And yes, the surfaces are covered by a coating that should absorb radar. No joke, that's what they write.

Still can't beat the lines painted on the road and a bear in the air with a stopwatch.

Precisely...and the look on their faces a few miles up the road where the terminal blockage is constructed is worth a beer or two

It seems the side windows cannot be opened. That is to prevent the driver reaching out his flat hands into the wind - flying without holding the helm is not permitted.
