Formula 1 is just simple mathematics!
Yes, today's hyper cars contain complex systems and engineering wizardry but decompose the complexity and you end up with very simple components, physics and mathematics. Therefore I want to apply this methodology to formula one as the world's two greatest protagonists of hyper cars participate in formula one too, that being Ferrari and McLaren. What is it they want to achieve, well it's the world championship of course and how do they do it? Formula one to all the teams that participate is a sport with which all participants' cars must comply to a distinct set of rules, to each individual team the term "formula" is exactly the same as in science, having the general construct of a relationship between given quantities and that means if your given quantities are the best and their relationship or the sum of is the best then it can be easy to formulate the F1 world championship. Very simple really!
The formulas:
Ron Dennis
Ronald Dennis CBE was born in Woking, England on the 1st June 1947 and is the executive chairman of McLaren Automotive, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Group, and a significant shareholder in both companies. Whilst the name on the company door may say “McLaren” the modern organisation we see today speaks volumes for the founder’s successor, Ron Dennis.
On 16 January 2014 it was announced that Ron Dennis would return as CEO of McLaren, combining his current role as Chairman of McLaren Group.
“The driving force has got to be a desire to be the best, not just to take money. Fortunately, if you are winning Grand Prix you can have both. I’ve often said I would prefer to be recognised as a successful businessman before a successful motorsport director but if came to a choice, I would most certainly choose winning a grand prix over making a million dollars” – Ron Dennis.

What The F*ck! - V8-2000hp
That's right 2000 rampaging horses from a V8, ladies and gents this is the insane world of the Trion Nemesis! Let's be clear straight away, Trion are only at the concept stage (CAD modelling) but it is a good start, I personally dislike most US supercars because they look terrible, I have images in my head of a US super/hyper car designer that only has a pencil and a protractor with straight edged shapes, square, triangle, etc, but the Trion looks the business, (just smooth out the 3/4 rear intake panel please!).
I wish Trion all the best, the SC/HC arena is a tough cookie to crack, just think of the competition, so you are going to need "Big Kahunas" to even get the project off the ground so I am hoping that I see a test review by "Autocar/Top Gear magazine" sometime soon?
"Big Kahunas"
Definition: literally big balls, figuratively a man who has big kahunas has a lot of nerve, is brave, a risk taker, has a lot of testosterone.
