  • Formula 1 cars ARE the fastest race cars on the planet, (apart from when they’re not). There are SOME tracks that Formula 1 are yet to conquer.
    So, we’re going to go over all of the major racing circuits that don’t have lap records set by Formula 1 cars and figure out if they could beat them or not. Because in a lot of cases - Formula 1 cars are NOT the fastest!

      Also, that was the first year of the IRL, and while they were still using the CART spec cars, they allowed the boost to be turned up in the hope someone would set the record. Next year they switched to 4L NA stock block engines and the speed disappeared.

    Scott, it should be noted that Verstappen's qualifying lap from Spa 2023 isn't a good comparison as the track wasn't fully dry. If you compare to his quali lap from 2022 you'll note his pole time of 1.43.655 some 3 seconds faster than 2023 which I believe had the track conditions been good the RB19 would have easily beaten the RB18's pole lap from the previous year.

    While an F1 car might struggle with the road, a faster car that can hit 200mph on the long straights I expect would be much faster than the bikes.

    Would be interesting to see on the oldest, continuously used used course in the world, Shelsley Walsh hill climb in the UK. Its really narrow, short and flat out except for a s bend section. The cars are specialist based on F1 like design and record is 22.37 secs set 2 years ago. These cars are actually banned from timed runs at Goodwood Festival of speed, as are current F1s for obvious safety reasons

    There's a lot of areas of the TT Snaefell Mountain Course that an F1 car would absolutely blitz the superbikes with lots of switchback corners that the bikes have to completely roll off the throttle that an F1 car wouldn't, but the bikes' racing lines are much wider whereas an F1 car is almost the width of the road in places.

      Yep, a bike is just way slower around corners and has to brake a lot earlier too. A MotoGP bike is faster in acceleration and often has higher topspeeds than F1 on most tracks but still their lap times are a lot slower, A F1 would smash those records even on a narrow and bumpy track.

    How do you figure Toyota would beat an F1 car around a lap of Le Mans? It's a regular road course, I don't see why F1 wouldn't faster, considering they are 10+ seconds faster at pretty much evey circuit that both series have been to.

    • @nightshadelenar
      @nightshadelenar 2 дня назад

      Circuit De La Sarthe, AKA Le Mans is a very bumpy track and modern day F1 cars would have problems with underfloor downforce, not to mention the LMHd class is about one third to one half as draggy as a F1 car in Monza spec, as well as a more slippery body design. F1 could get close, but I don't think they'll beat it without shreadding the rulebook.

    the 919 does not have more downforce than an f1 car period. The porsche mechanics lied or simply didnt know about it just to get attention. The car is faster in a straight line but still loses out to f1 on the corners by quite a lot and no the 50kg difference isnt enough to justify it, it just has less downforce, it loses like 2 or 3 seconds in the middle sector of spa. If it went to hungary or barcelona the difference would be big, probably 5 secs a lap slower than f1.

    Small corrections: the TS050 by 2019 had around 440-450kW from the ICE.
    It had 300kW from the Hybrid in Le Mans and 350kW everywhere else.
    So between 740 and 800kW (1000-1100hp). And it wasnt the dominant car in the end of the P1 era, it was the only factory car. It ran against non Hybrid Rebellions, SMPs and Ginettas.

      @KoenigFPS It really isnt if you ever even walked past a school. Metric units are obviously way easier to calculate with.
      Case and point, try converting Joule/time into kW and into hp. For the latter you need a strange factor. That's why there is metric and wrong. Metric is way easier and better to use. That's why the industry uses metric. That's why the law mandates metric for automotive applications.

      With regards pike peak - can the ICE cars not run mapping based on oxygen level/air pressure? That way you could have a turbo car running progressively higher boost up the mountain and maintaining 500kw or similar? The driver would not need to recalibrate as it slowed and the car would only be under extreme boost towards the end of the track?@@TheNecromancer6666

And if a F3 or a Super Formula car can beat a MotoGP bike, then an F1 car would obviously demolish it.
