- The Indy 500 used to be an official part of the F1 calendar - but what would happen if F1 cars were to run the Indy 500 today?

Marcus Ericsson would be an F1 Grand Prix winner 🇸🇪🏆
Wish he was 😭
I think he would hit us
Yooo
🇸🇪
Great point
75 laps equates to around 75 laps....... well done alex well done
looooool
He's technically correct. The best kind of correct!
@@paderborner5213 😂😂 God I miss futurama lol
As a cyclist for many years, this is 100% accurate for the average crit race (including people flying upside down and over your head). Other than the whole 200mph thing, this is actually cycling simulator!
damn how much downforce does your bike make?
@@unfortunately_fortunate2000 None...but you don't need downforce (or even lift for that matter) to go flying if someone cuts across the field in front of you and causes a pile-up. Launching over the bars is all too common!
And this is why indycar tries to avoid pack racing as much as possible
Ironic given that the early years of the IRL consisted of just that for the most part.
True. It kind of escalated at Las Vegas in 2011 after which pack racing has been seen as a bad thing in IndyCar. Even though it's entertaining, it's also dangerous af.
It would be interesting to see the W12 slapped into a pack of Indycars. Maybe with a proper setup and luck you could beat one of them.
So if the aero was set up well it could run with them, but it wouldn’t last long since the engines aren’t made to redline for 3 hours. Also there are no braking zones to recharge the battery
Last year at the indy 500 the fastest lap was a 39.5 and there qualifying speeds were over 230 mph that'd be very hard for a downforce heavy f1 car
@@connortonak4323 setup makes all the difference tho, f1 could effectively run flat wings and gain a lot of speed same as the Indy oval cars. I still doubt the f1 car could hold on mainly due the engine likely blowing up but over a lap I don’t think the difference would be too much
@@connortonak4323 gotta take in mind the indy has a special aero kit, the f1 would prob have one too, but as pointed out, they wouldn't last cuz they arent made to redline for that long + no braking zone to recharge the battery
even then the indy cars would demolish F1
Bro you should do F1 at Daytona, Talladega or Iracing superspeedway next, that would be epic!
same result
they would all have mechanical failures, f1 dnf, indycar dub
Okay, weird rumor I've heard but I urge you to look into it for a video. If you stick a mixed pack of IR18s and W12s onto an oval, there's a way to gently lock an IR18 to the back of a W12 and they'll be bonkers fast basically bump drafting together, and somehow the IR18 doesn't overheat still. I think I recall someone saying it works at Charlotte or Kansas, but I bet there are plenty of other tracks it works at too if the rumor is true.
Fun fact my great uncle (Gordon Johncock) won the indy 500
thank you for this amazing content,
i only came across this channel 2 days ago, i watched some of the videos and they were great,
thank you for the content.
I tried this a while back and it was the most stressful thing I've done on this game.
Minus the Merc at Daytona for the Daytona 500.
"Lucky Dog" is only a NASCAR rule if I remember correctly.
1:56 This is wrong, F1 races (except Monaco) are ALWAYS the least amount of laps it takes to get at least 305km (NOT 300 as you're saying). In this case it would only add one lap more but in other tracks it could add couple laps more
Correct. Has been the case since 1989
And what if you do reverse ? Like Indy on F1 European Circuit
it'd be posting similar lap times to F2 cars
You should have had one Indycar in it to see how many times it lapped you
23:55 I absolutely lost it at your deadpan reaction to 3 W12s cascading into the stratosphere
This video is what makes iracing great : amazing looking crashes with an excellent damage model
You should do this, but with the lotus 49, as a historic Indy car race
Finally someone doing this right
Normally someone just does this in assetto corsa or even worse Forza and there none of the tactics involved like in iracing and it's really boring
"3 PERFECT LINES HOW!!??"
welcome to the world of pack racing brother
Great video Alex! You should do a video with Ben on this.
Ben has to be send to f1 bootcamp first until the two can fight each other in coop again
I just want to say this is one of thee reasons why nascar is so challenging because while these may be open a stock car will still react the same with contact when going full throttle
7:53 that is the craziest crash
I really liked this vids, would you consider doing it again?
IndyCar does not have the lucky dog. What you would be looking for in the iRacing session setup are “wave arounds”. For a IndyCar restarts, the leader always brings the field to green.
to add, I think a car 1 lap down from the leader needs to be passed by every car on the lead lap in order to not get a wave around and there's no limit to how many cars can wave around.
7:28 This is the Formula NASCAR mod as it should be :D
I agree, an iRacing F1 Indy 500 with sim racers would be good fun to run! Would be interesting, and plenty of carnage too.
Scott dixon’s average speed was 234 mph last Indy500. Imagine racing as close as you were but at 376 KPH
I'm sick of searching thank god I finally found a video of this
Great video!
This is more if F1 ran a race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. I would think if F1 added the 500 to the schedule it would look like McLaren running Alonso at the 500 except all 20 drivers would try their luck, with the existing 24-28 indycars and the 20 F1 drivers would make for one hell of a bump day. And great video it was cool how the F1 cars created pack racing like the nascars at Daytona, indycar used to have races like that but 220 mph with 25 cars nose to tail was really dangerous.
19:04 is that one guy in an f1 22 lobby when you over take him
Alex rating drivers better than codemaster in the last few games
For anyone who thinks that driving in an oval doesn't require ultimate concentration and skill 😂
I think all racing has the same skill cap; for example driving an Indy on the limit of grip is just as hard as F1 or GT3 on the limit of grip. And driving the Red Bull Ring is just as hard as Daytona on the limit.
That being said, the skill needed to be able to simply drive on an oval is much lower. Even though it’s extremely difficult when competing at the top, the average driver would be significantly more competitive (relatively) on an oval than on a traditional “f1 track” such as spa.
@@KayJblue not really, you also have to account that oval races usually have pack racing, so while you are right that it's technically less difficult to race on an oval, they're far less forgiving also considering that you're either on the track or in the wall with no in between
It requires a different set of skills
Yes racing in an oval is t easy but requires a lot of skill aswell, I mean think of it the racing line is easier because in f1 you have to get the apex right or you’re stuffed and also throttle balance on the exit on the corner or you’ll spin
I've done this way too many times. I have an AI Roster setup that is LMP2 cars, Indycars, and W12s. Run that at Indy and Lemans, it's a bunch of chaos. Need to have quick repairs on for that.
How on earth did you manage to do a standing start on an oval? iRacing doesn't support standing starts on ovals. Or at least I didn't think it did until watching this video.
that's some lovely content!
creative, interesting, f1 related but without having to endure the shitshow that is called f1 22.
thanks Alex
You and Ben need to run a co-op AI league with the Merc 12 on iracing the roster is already available
Actually, I'd like to see F1 run Daytona International Speedway -- the same track run by NASCAR.
Of course, other tracks like Pocono and Watkins Glen seem interesting tracks to run as well.
cracking up from the crashes around the 9 minute mark =)
I respect you for showing your personal driver ratings
I was expecting a lot more drama in these comments for that ngl 😂
It awarded points but it was also a mess and given that indy was so far from Europe, most f1 drivers didnt care to try. More interesting was the return of the USGP on the infield road course from 98-07 before they began racing at circuit of the americas
Marcos Ericsson would actually be challenging for wins
Putting them on Indy really illustrates that F1 cars are WAY too big now.
The porpoising of the cars now, would leave the drivers crippled after 100 laps
Amazing content
What's the overlay
Latifi should be 0.000000000001 cus that how much he uses his power
I thought after the third crash in the same place, he would understand that the IA always go HARD right to open for the first curve after the finish line, but no. He literally saw the IA do this in every lap , saw 2 crashs the same way, but no lets go on the right side of the IA right where it will forcefully change lanes.
F1 Race in an Indy 500 track? That’s something I want to see! Lots of overtakes waiting to be seen! No more DRS Trains, just crazy overtakes and Blue Flag Frenzies! Oh, and chances that there will be a 1st Lap Crash!
I think they should do a Allstars f1 race on the daytona oval and see how fast they can go
and see how many drivers can die in one day?
@@Ishin69 yeah only the shitty drivers
IndyCar won't race on the Daytona or Talledega ovals for good reason.
I have an idea
What if F1 2021 cars Have F1 22 front wing and Rear wing
Or F1 2022 cars have F1 2021 Front wing and Rear wing ?
when nascar, indycar, and f1 collab.
I love that Turbo didn't even finish the whole season of Indy, just the Indy 500.
i mean there are drivers who have a part time ride in Indycar to literally just race in the 500
there are Indy 500 one offs every year
I have always said the us GP should have been run on a speedway oval. It would show which team has the best aero. Right now, F1 is more about you has the best engine.
This video makes the F1 22 AI look good
Outside of them going for dumb gaps they are fun to race
Alternate title: I tried to create chaos
44 second qualifying lap is painfully slow. I would hope F1 teams would optimize their cars for top speed! In the F1 2002 PS2 game I could run upwards of 235 mph (38 second) with the Williams car. Also I think the Indy 500 was a rolling start even back when it was part of the F1 WDC
the 500 has always been 3x3 rolling starts
Replicating Nascar Pack Racing with F1 cars at Indianapolis, you Sir are a Mad Lad.
Bro how you gonna put my man Sergio that low
bias
this is more like a nascar race at talladega than indycar
Turns out if you mix indycar and f1 you get nascar
what website is dis?
what is this for a game?
Are you a NASCAR fan? Or how do you explain that Leclerc rating tied for p5??
8:28
P1 Lewis Hamilton- "Oh yeah, that's normal"
P2 MICK Schumacher- "Uhhhh- what are YOU doing here?? haha"
It is still a race
You should do a video on what if Tesla participated in the Formula E
The racing is like the Daytona 500
That thumbnail 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
these F1 cars are so stable. Is it just not realistic or would they actually but that stable? because their were so many times you should’ve gone around but didn’t
they probably would, bear in mind they are going stupidly slow around this track because of the crazy amount of downforce. they run as little as they possibly can in the 500, and not just wings, the floor and everything. the f1 cars are still set up for circuit racing in this video
7:53 helikopter helikopter
Lucky dog is only nascar not indycar, indycar only has the wave around rule
This but unironically. Most F1 tracks are now the same and we need more variety.
Lewis Hamilton's skill being set to 98 whilst Verstappen being 100 is incredibly incoherent no?
I would agree with you, but he also openly admitted he would get flamed for that.
@@philipbarton3456 should just take the flaming, Hamilton is still by far & away the more complete driver its not even a debate. 🤦🏼♀️
@@187Blondie after Spa? People are basically worshiping Max as being the next unstoppable force as being a driver that is even better than Lewis and Michael. It’s kinda cringe. Lewis isn’t perfect (no driver is) but people are already acting like Lewis is washed like he wasn’t just fighting down to the last lap last season.
@@philipbarton3456 i think its incredibly naive for anyone to think that right now, no denying his potential for sure but when he has any serious competition he becomes reckless & sometimes desperate to prove his point. People argue that he because hasn’t crashed this year he’s the better driver but theres noone near him for him to crash into. When Ferrari get it right LeClerc smokes him.. and the Red Bull absolutely *is* the faster car, especially now. Personally i dont think he’ll win 100 Grand Prixs, only if he keeps an utterly dominant car will that happen which if it does, it just becomes a repeat of history. 🤣 but at no point ever did Hamilton have a Mercedes that was nearly 2 whole seconds ahead of the rest of the field, its worse than its ever been in terms of 1 team been above the rest, at least Ferrari & Mercedes were very close for multiple seasons with Vettel even leading championships against Hamilton a few times, this year its washout & has been for some time already, half way into the season.. & Hamilton is far from washed. Do you think Verstappen would have done as well in that Mercedes?
@@187Blondie People are just looking for reasons to justify their backing of Max. Arguably I’d say Max might be in for a bit of an awakening. I still think people are stretching too soon to think Red Bull are going to be absolutely dominant next season and the seasons to come, and that he is due in to face a career closer to that of Alonso or at most Prost.
He wouldn’t be able to do what Lewis did in 2014,15,17 or 18. People already forget just how close the racing actually was, and a fight between teammates? We know how that turns out for Max.
19:09-19:16 ross chastain
What game is this
If you think you can run 2-3 wide into every corner at Indianapolis... you definitely didn't watch JR Hildebrand at the 2011 Indy 500 lol
this is the i racing?
It would go kaboom
and what if ben actually practised
u did goatifi diiiiirty
why is the goat latifi at the bottom
Take a shot every time he says 'indy 500' in the first 30 seconds
Its the F1 500
If F1 did The Indy 500 I would be so pissed
Making Alonso the 3rd quickest driver is pretty funny lol
Does anyone know if you need an iRacing subscription to run AI races?
Yes you fo
F1 pack racing looks deadly... I MEAN TALK ABOUT SUICIDE THAT'S LIKE 250mph. Maybe its a good thing they stopped that🤔
If f1 still raced in the indy 500 max would lap the whole field
Im saying this due to the redbulls obsene top speed
The F1500
Looks like nascar pack racing 😂
I'm pretty sure the indy 500 used indycars not F1 cars, it just happened to be part of the world championship
It did, WDC was different back in the day. Very few European teams chose to compete at Indy while it was part of the WDC. This led to a few funny things. One of which was that, because Indy has 200 laps, Bill Vukovich held the record for most F1 laps led until just a few weeks ago when Lewis passed him.
@@lemonjuicelime back in the 50s, they were basically the same thing.
Lol this AI reminds me of F1 22 for some reason. *AI sees player...must kill*
I don’t understand why you put Nicholas Latifi at 5% skill level, he is after all the goat🐐
what game?
This is iRacing, one of the AAA games developed by Apple themselves. You need a Mac to run it though.
Normal human beings would be able to afford attending the race and F1 could expand massively in the US since they currently have no races within like 1000 miles of the northern states.
F1 has 3 races in the US. 😂 more than any other country ever.
@@187Blondie Italy had 3 races literally 2 years ago.😂 You have no clue what you're talking about.
The US has the size and population of Europe. Literally every European race is closer to Silverstone than Vegas is to Miami.
It also allows races to be on at a time that is accessible for everyone outside near-european timezones including Australia, Asia, and South America.
Cool
this guy is hilarious
That looks like a normal F1 open lobby. I couldn't race in that the game is giving the AI far too much grip and aggression I mean why would that car just cut you up like that and put you in the wall. And having the AI cars go 3 wide in perfect formation through the laps is so unrealistic.
Welcome to NASCAR 😂😂
