Legalazation??

F1 cars have a clutch that has two settings engaged and disengaged, not to mention that they idle at around 3000 rpms. It would not likely be a car you could drive in traffic, even with the traction control

Yeah, the gearing would have to be drastically changed, and it probaly does have to much wing. It would be fun to try, I'm sure you could pull it off. I'm told my region has the biggest C-mod class in the country (we have like 8 or 9 cars running at any given event next year), those cars are just cool. I think I'll just keep driving my Volvo though.

An F1 driving on a well made SCCA auto course is very bad;
a.) the car couldn't take the roughness of the track, thats why there are only 19 (including Mexico) race venues in over 180 some countries

b.) those tracks are made for lower horsepower sedans, sportcaqrs, and low-power open-wheels

c.) not enough safety barriers, it will be deemed unsafe.
