People shouldn't compare different motorsports. Each one has its own challenges and they're all just as difficult, no need for any arguments. The only time you could properly compare is for something like f1 and f2 because they're the same tracks and same goals.
That’s not true. Nascar is easier than f1. You can become a nascar driver in like 6 years or something. F1 drivers have to start at 6-7 and won’t even get into f1 until they are like 20. They also have to deal with higher gs
@@Graham_A NASCAR drivers start just as early as F1 drivers and don’t normally get into the cup series until they are around 20. NASCAR isn’t really easier too because your still sitting in a car that’s 120-140° for 3-4 hours and racing other drivers.
@@nickname1964everything u just said is the same for every motorsport except f1 wrc and a few others have aspects that make it infinitely harder than just turning left

@@Severi611 in 2004,BAR-HONDA fitted an oval aero to it car, fully following the 2004 technical rules (meaning that car was a legal F1). That car peaked 415kmh at Bonneville with an omologated speed of 407kmh. They just changed the wings and the gears ratio.
It's pretty much a case of Gearing as the lynchpin in which car is "Faster" as an IndyCar in oval Configuration objectively goes Faster but it's then a question of does IndyCars configuration for their Circuit races as sure you can gear a car for absolute top speed but acceleration to that speed may suffer horrifically, even still. IndyCars are a sight to behold during Indy 500 race day, 225mph+ wheel to wheel, it's undeniable the drivers have the skills for close racing
Ah f1 has never cracked 235 on a circuit. The fastest they've recorded in a race is 231 something at Monza back in 2005. Granted BAR did a top speed run out in the salt flats but that was with almost zero downforce. I think it got to like 260 or something?
@@kin3ticwav Im sure F1 will reach 240, however indycars record is 240 too, if an F1 car was setup especially for top speed, wings suited for specifics then they would surely beat an indycar.
@thathonkvision yeah it obviously depends on the way the cars are setup. I think the indycar record was 256mph but again, oval cars. Did some googling lol. Bottas hit 234.9 there which I did not know and Paul Tracy did 256.9 in Michigan.
Same with F1. Honda took an F1 car to Bonneville and hit a top speed of 257 mph on one run. Not only was that done on salt, but the car wasn't even turbocharged.
@@PistonAvatarGuy It went 247 with most of the aero taken off The fastest recorded speed at indy was last year at 243.1 mph.

If he wasn't lifting then the top speed should be around 245 Legend says AJ Foyt was capable of going 250 at indy in 1994
Indycar was on COTA about 10 seconds a lap slower than F1. F1 also is a tad more strict at track limits compared to IndyCar. But on an oval the F1 car is hopeless.
Bro it's easy. An indycar goes faster then a f1 car on an indycar circuit and an f1 car goes faster on a f1 track. The cars are build to do the fastest lap times for the tracks they are put on. It's not fucking rocketscience
This is not a criticism of your video, it is a call to the community. Can we collectively as motorsport fans stop comparing their categories? It's literally nonsense, each category has its rules, its cars and its limits (this is mainly directed to people who can't stop comparing F1 with Nascar, please stop kids)
Indy aren't faster. It's all different due to how they do the race as they say in the video I suppose. Indy cars are meant to go the fastest around a flat out oval track. F1 cars are meant to carry the most speed through a varied and technical track that tests the drivers ability to keep the most momentum throughout and therefore the fastest time.
Well Indicar is faster on roads, but slower in corners.Formula 1 is gaining on Indicar in cornres seconds.So on a track, Formula 1, on a road, Indycar.
F1 is for manufacturers to show off, Indycar is basically spec racing to keep costs down and let the drivers/engineers show off. The budget difference alone should take away any idea of indycar needing to be faster to be comparable
Such a non comparison IndyCar is for racing and it has better racing because f1 is an engineering competition. If you're watching f1 just for the racing you are watching it wrong.
f1 is the fastest to lap a circuit, period indycar and glorified bicycles can't compete, there is a reason why f1 is the pinnacle, and then formula e is kind of considered the best alternative. indycar is for people who don't have the ability to drive 180mph around a bend, and gp2 is for people who think glorified bicycles cool
The call it f1 cause is the Formula to Creater the quickest car in a lap Not in the top speed F1 cars can go waaayyy more faster but for safety limitation the FIA try to make fast cars but secure Same thing for other motor sports But f1 is made to be faster than anyone On corners and accelaration
@@oren2000 Depends on how you describe "way faster". The one time IndyCar raced at COTA they went 12 seconds per lap slower than F1, which is like F2 lap times or slower.

@@MuhammadNiz007 what do you mean actual tracks
At least you continued to explain it correctly. They both have completely different regulations. Not all open wheel are the same.
That’s with the oval aero kit, with the road course aero they top out at 190 ish on tracks like Road America
Indy is faster f1 is quicker
The IndyCar at Austin, Texas is 14 second slower than the F1 car
Erm, what about the 2010's or 2000's? Different cars in F1
Different engines, and also rpm regulations, and other shit idk
Same story. Never topped 235. Hypothetically in an ultra low drag setup with no intention of turning could top that tough
