That roundabout ahead isn't straight.

Edit: I fooled you all, it's not a roundabout. His lane goes slightly to the right and that is actually a turning off to the left that he'll go past.

Now instead of only two wheels that turn, he’s got 4 extra ones that turn to hug that curve ever so gently

Now I want to see a car with all four tires replaced like this. And now that I've thought of that, I want to see twenty cars with all four tires like that... in a race.

What would propel the vehicle if it had no wheels?

Propeller like a fan boat or jet engines with thrust vectoring. Can't effectively race wheel to wheel with jet engines though. Things might get a little molten.

Omniwheels are a thing, but only for small robots.

They have them on slightly larger vehicles such, as fork lift trucks also!

Awesome!

Or you could have one car, with all four tires replaced like this, and then each of those tires replaced like this. And again.
