Kinda like this car:    The Chaparral 2J. It used a secondary motor running fans to suck all the air out from under it, generating massive amounts of downforce, even when stopped. The car was so incredibly ahead of the competition it was banned after a single season. The 2J has had far reaching implications aside from just the banning of "sucker cars". Stuff like true ground effects and other extreme aero devices have been all but elminated from motorsports. The problem is that minor contact that damages an extreme downforce element means whipping off the track at lethal speeds. 'Course the 2J is more infamous than famous... but it's certainly one of the "best" cars when stacked up against the competition, even if only due to shear inginuity.

The Tyrrel P34 is still a pretty damn cool car though... like the 2J, it's a great example of thinking outside of convention. Here's a cool website about other 6 wheel'd F1 cars: http://www.f1nutter.co.uk/tech/6wheels.php
