McLaren has released its vision for the future of grand prix racing, from fully-electric, shape-shifting cars to circuits that include banked corners and zones for inductive charging.
Formula One's current focus is on a new set of regulations for 2021, but the study carried out by McLaren Applied Technologies projects a vision for top-level motorsport 30 years in the future. Rather than just look at the car as previous concepts have done, the latest vision from the technology arm of the McLaren Group hopes to predict how the whole sport will change in the future. Its research included talking to fans and MA and PhD students to understand which future technologies could contribute to the show and enhance the spectacle of grand prix racing.
