R&D at Ford dreamed up a car to run on Uranium fuel to generate steam that would drive a turbine and power the vehicle for thousands of kilometers without refueling.

On paper, the Nucleon promised incredible range and quiet operation, but serious challenges involving safety, heat management, weight, and fuel supply made the concept impossible to bring to production, or even to make a working prototype.

Life team was bunch of crazy italians led by Ernesto Vita in 1990 trying to exploit a W series 12 cylinder engine Franco Rocchi created in his Ferrari years.

Seems so obvious why they failed when you view this:-

Dan Gurney made F1 history July 8th 1962 at Rouen clinching his first of 4 GP career wins & Porsche's first Win.

Seems certain that V8s are likely to make a comeback in 2031, see article below, but can an independent engine supply really take on the big boys?

In other series sanctioned independent engine supply, to ensure numbers on grid, falls short in producing winners.

Could it be budget restricted teams just can't match areo development & chassis build of leading manufacturer backed outfits, or do OEMs still manage to produce better PUs?

Seems Sprint races are here to stay and we'll get more of them in future.
If we have to have them how many is too much?
