I recently saw an interesting F1 trivia item.
The South African army has a remote control mine detection vehicle that uses wheels and tyres left over from the South African Grand Prix. Apparently, the wide, smooth tyres distribute the weight of the vehicle so that it doesn’t detonate mines or IEDs.
Can you imagine our armed forces, or those of our allies, making use of second hand kit, let alone in such an innovative way?
That’s about the extent of my interest in F1 ????
