Check this video out...it has to do with miniature robots solving mazes as quickly as possible autonomously. However, towards the end they have a segment on speed advances made by, essentially, sucking the car to the ground.
Interesting stuff all around.

But one does it with 50 gallons of fuel and two $5,000 tires, the other one with three 9 volt batteries, lol.
