Envisioning what an F1-wheel skateboard would be like, some cleverly placed mirrors give the impression that the rider is straddling the tire in midair. This apparently serves as the proof-of-concept, and construction gets underway. A two-wheel hoverboard is sacrificed to give the big racing tire a means of propulsion. The electric motor with its sensors allows for forward and reverse operation, and it's neatly installed in one of the very large footrests flanking the wheel. The video description states it's a legit F1 wheel, mounted to a … [Read more...] about Motorized Skateboard With F1 Wheel Is More Complicated Than It Looks

Listen to this article Emerson Fittipaldi - It's a name widely known in the motorsports niche and a last name synonymous with anything having to do with racing. Two Formula One World Championships to his credit, the 1989 and 1993 Indy 500 winner, and a CART champion to top it off. His grandchildren are following in his legendary footsteps and proving that they too have the racing gene in their blood. Pietro started in go-karts and then began to make a move towards a career in NASCAR. He earned the 2011 Hickory Motor Speedway track title before switching over to the open-wheel side of racing.
