After a forty-year ban, ground effect returned to Formula 1 in 2022 under the latest set of regulation changes. The effect was used in its most effective form in IndyCar designs.

The advantages of a ground effect train over a maglev are lower cost due to simpler construction. Disadvantages include either constant input of energy to keep the train hovering (in the case of hovercraft-like vehicles) or the necessity to keep the vehicle moving for it to remain off the ground (in the case of wing-in-ground effect vehicles).
