£14,000,000. That’s how much Project Inversion is going to cost. It’s a huge amount of money, and in this video, I’m going to share why it costs so much.

If you’re new to this series, we’re planning to drive a Formula car upside down - for 5 seconds - with aerodynamic force alone.

So, the main costs, as you can imagine, are the car, building the tunnel and hiring the location. And just the size of this project is astonishing. 1330 tonnes of temporary steelworks. 131 tonnes of temporary aluminium works. 49,000 metres squared of plywood - that’s the same as 7 football fields. And, all of that plywood has to be held together with something… almost half a million screws!
