Asia's Largest race car made from bread - Click above for high-res image gallery
We know what you're thinking, and we agree – if there's one thing that we just can't seem to accept in modern Formula One racing, it's the distinct lack of edible race cars.

According to Klik.tv, there are a thousand individual loaves and 22 different types of bread in the life-size F1 car. More numbers: it took 33 pounds of yeast, 14 liters of water, 4.4 pounds of salt and nearly three gallons of varnish to finish this delightful creation. We bet it's the best smelling race car ever.

people bitch and moan on here about all kinds of stuff. I never really do but I think I will..
Isn't there a much better use for bread than sculpting cars? Maybe feed some less fortunate or less capable people in our fine country?
Ugh...
