MSH Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I'm pretty sure most people who take their cars to track days think they are pretty quick. Watching this video shows just how big the gulf in performance between a truly quick track (F1) car and the more accessible stuff us mere mortals get to drive is, especially when he catches and passes the Radical.

chris_h Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just asking for an accident with those closing speeds. But yes agree, seriously quick. And that is probably a detuned engine in a pretty old f1 car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 It's all relative though. Would this older F1 car be made to look silly by today's F1 cars? Or how would it compare to a full ground effect car with active suspension and 1000+ bhp turbo engine from the proper "big balls" days of F1? Dunno, not followed F1 for years.

And that is probably a detuned engine in a pretty old f1 car. I agree about the closing speed but in fairness the driver does seem to drive accordingly. Apparently the car was racing around 2001, so not massively old. It's all relative though. Would this older F1 car be made to look silly by today's F1 cars?

I'm not sure, it would be great to find out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
