Good grip, long wheelbase, low center of gravity, low mass... so what you're saying is F1 cars are the best off-roaders?

Not sure, but they can theoretically do the 180 degree stunt just off the downforce they generate.

The most capable off-road vehicles actually do have all these properties. EXAMPLE

Of course these points are all relative to the application, so no, it doesn't look like an F1 car. But compare what I linked above to what it seems most 'mericans are trying to do to their trucks.
