The difference between regular cars and F1's (vid)

if anytime someone tells you that F1 cars aren't as fast and they're cracked up to be, just show them this video.

I sure hope no one tells anyone that F1 cars aren't "all their cracked up to be". F1 is the pinnacle of automotive technology and performance. Nothing can compare to the stratospheric performance of those cars. They are truly amazing machines.

you obviously haven't ever talked to a ricer about circuit racing before lol. i've seriously had someone tell me that nascar stock cars would beat f1's.

people that aren't automotive enthusiasts can make some pretty strange assumptions about cars.

yeah, I guess I have heard the stock car one before. No contest though. A nascar stock car is a horse and buggy when compared to an F1 car.

Whoever would doubt that F1 cars aren't the faestest overall cars in the world are retards. I remember watching somewhere a F1 drag racing an F16 Jet. The Jet only pulled in front of the F1 car about a mile down the track or so. Amazing to watch, wish I remembered where I saw it...

22 seconds faster around the track than an Enzo. I can only imagine that with an experienced F1 driver it would be even faster. F1 is king.

I don't know man you could see his faults on the track though, I just surprised he didn't kill himself... I sure as hell would have and I woulda loved every second of it.

even IRL cars can hand nascar their ***. just last weekend during the IRL race, they were talking about how nascar runs the same track they were racing on, but about 40mph slower.

i have video of an F40 Ferarri racing an F1 car and getting its *** handed to it.

What it comes down to is that Formula 1 is the absolute best form of racing in the world. Its the best racing in the world. Gran Prix qualifying events are more interesting than most other car races.

I am watching IRL (Indy) right now and they are fast, but compared to the F1 you could have watched last night in Australia, they cannot compare.

this is probably the 3rd different version ive seen of this "test". the one that "top gear" does is by far the best one.

i think that one they had some regular car...like an alpha romeo or something, then an f40, then the f1 car.

I may never do F1, but I am definatly going to do some formula races in a few years. Once I get out of college I am surely going through racing school and getting into racing as much as possible. F1 is my ultimate dream, but racing professionaly is my real goal.
Now all I need is track time and $$$. lol.

Bertil Roos racing school at Pocono Raceway. I live right now about 1 hour from Pocono. When I graduate I will look for a job around Philadelphia/King of Prussia area. So I should be no more than 3 hours from the track with parents less than 1 hour away.

If I have the time, when not saving for that school or for racing with them, I might try to do any karting I can get into, too
