F1 Cars vs Fast Cars

whoa, all the F1 drivers take the exact same line. but the video on the left have some diverse driving lines

lol it looks sped up. thats nuts...

someone should do a test on reaction time of F1 drivers vs. normal race car drivers vs. average human.

so thats what 300kmh looks like from the ground. Cameras higher up make it deceiving on tv

lol if you play GT5, you realize how fast a F1 car realli is =.=

Because getting on the dirty side on the track slows you down in f1 land.

Damn, so fast, can't even tell what the car model is

I believe in that corner the F1 cars don't even lift off the accelerator pedal, but wow, i knew f1 cars were fast but no idea that they were this much faster, even the purpose built track cars in the left vid were snails in comparison

From Honda official website...http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents2006/f1catalogue/

Honda F1 engine generates over 720 horsepower out of 2.4L V8 NA engine.

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p1.jpg

Honda F1 engine pumps up more than 6 times horsepower/weight than Honda S2000.
Honda S2000 engine: 242hp, the 2.2L 4cyl engine weighs approx 200kg(440lbs)
Honda F1 engine: 720+hp, the 2.4L V8 engine weighs approx 95kg(209lbs)
do the math..

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p2.jpg

Honda F1 engine displaces 2.4L, however the engine inhales 3.2L of air

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p1.jpg

that translates to 500L of air/second at 19,000rpm

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p2.jpg

It takes 5.2 seconds for NSX to reach 100km/h
It takes 5.2 seconds for Honda F1 to reach 200km/h
(0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds, 100km/h to 200km/h in 1.5 seconds)

just to give you an idea...

Honda F1
100-200km/h: 1.5 seconds

Honda NSX
100-200km/h: 12.6 seconds

McLaren F1
100-200km/h: 6.2 seconds

Bugatti Veyron
100-200km/h: 4.9 seconds

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_q2vSQ-RGLP...-back-3_70.jpg

The F1 machine can generate 2000kg(4400lbs) of downforce at 300km/h
The machine weighs approx 600kg(1320lbs with driver)...therefore it can go upside down no problem

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p1.jpg

Letting go a gas pedal in F1 machine = Slamming on brake in NSX

When you leg go a gas padal, the Honda F1 machine creates approx 1.0 deceleration G (same as NSX's full braking capability), if you slam on F1 machine's brake, you will generate 4.5 deceleration G.

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p1.jpg

The cornering G of Honda F1 is 4.5times greater than NSX's approx 1.0G.

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p2.jpg

The powersteering for F1 machine is not so that you can steer...the F1 machine is really light, you don't need it

http://www.honda.co.jp/F1/spcontents.../images/p2.jpg

The purpose of F1 powersteering is to fight the G-force during the corner. Therefore the purpose is totally different than passenger vehicles like NSX and S2000.

There was a study done a few years ago. The fastest reaction times (on average) were from F1 drivers followed by CART drivers, then NASCAR drivers IIRC.
