Brabham pioneered the idea of a "fan car", with the legendary BT46B, which comfortably won the only race it entered.
The McMurtry is very interesting, but the use of "driving" here is a bit of a stretch. Since the vacuum under the car is actively generated, I wonder how much the quality of the track would affect it. It's been an issue during the recent resurgence of F1 cars with ground effect.
