Gran Turismo 5 players will remember the Chaparral 2J Race Car '70 (a real race car with two giant fans on the back which was immediately declared illegal after protests of other car makers) and the fictional Red Bull X1/X2014 fan cars.

I’m impressed that this video game technology comes back!

This kind of fan was F1 technology back in 1978.

Check out the Brabham car that won on its debut at the Swedish Grand Prix.
