F1 BT45 B Fan Car to Pro-Touring adaptation...Lol?

[Chadman27]

Ok, so entertain this idea for a sec...

I was going through some Youtube videos of F1 advancements throughout the decades and I learned about the BT45 B Fan Car that was quickly banned by the FIA after one race. See videos here:

So... could this novelty be adapted to a dedicated autocross or 1Lap car? Now before you shoot this down totally, I think there are some physics obviously at play which would make this NOT work for "our" application, but I digress...

(a) Would an "Old School" muscle car even be low enough for any sort of vacuum to be effectively generated...

(b) This would instantly "ban" you from any regulated class in SCCA, NASA, etc, etc... but... for bragging rights of an FTD... could be plausible? Would optima Ultimate Street Car rules allow this (who is gonna slam a car and suck it to the ground?!?! )

(c) The only logical position for a fan in a factory passenger car would be the trunk and ducted to the rear passenger seats (deleted obviously), so I am guessing it would be near impossible to mechanically be driven off a crank pulley, and would require an electric fan. Could sufficient power and fan RPM be generated off an electric source (car battery... something else?) to even get you this power demand? Even if the fan power draw demand could be met, how long would it last... enough for a 1 lap or autocross run?... maybe.

Anyways, I just thought it was very entertaining seeing this, and it sparked my mind of the possibilities. Any effectively adapted system is way beyond my patience and budget, but I figured you guys are the best on the web so punch holes in this idea and or construct some plausible solution. I will never be able to do it... but, if anything else lets have some fun and have some discussion, so please go!
