Mar 22, 2018 · F1’s hybrid power plant that eliminates turbo lag means that if both cars came off a corner onto a straight and hit the gas, the F1 car would pull away quicker. But once they hit a certain distance, the IndyCar would be designed to continue to a …

If you reduced the boost on an F1 car in a similar way to the Indycar, the Indycar would win by an even larger margin. Chances are that an F1 couldn't complete an Indy 500 race. First the engine would blow up running top rpm for extended periods, and those that don't would run out of fuel before the halfway point of the race.

Jun 19, 2023 · IndyCar is a spec series, so every car is the same. The difference between racers is primarily the racer's skill, as well as the skill of the pit crew. F1 isn't spec, so aside from the governing body's regulations, each car is different.

Oct 20, 2019 · IndyCar was* the second fastest open-wheel championship after F1. /u/afito did an analysis of all the series in 2018. If we're talking open-wheel, it goes F1, IndyCar, Super Formula, F2, GP3 (now F3). LMP1 slots in between Super Formula and …

Mar 30, 2015 · Quick for a GT car no doubt, but some way off of F1. Would could infer that IndyCar would also be some way off of F1 given how similar IndyCar and Super GT are around Motegi. However, that doesn't tell us much about downforce levels. LMP1 cars have more downforce than F1 does, yet they are significantly slower than F1, in fact even Super GT can ...

May 20, 2023 · In the cost cap era of F1 today of $135m per team budget limit, you’d still comfortably run 10-12 Indycar full time entries for a season, Mercedes’ F1 budget in the last open spending season (2020) alone would’ve been enough to run 22 full time Indy entries for two full seasons, enter in the rest of the team’s budgets for that year only ...

Jul 28, 2013 · But I would not say F1 cars will leave indy cars in the dust.On a street course yes.Top speed is almost the same.F1 is not about top speed to a point. And for racing fans from back in the day.Look at the history of indy car. And yes out of all racing.F1.

Jun 10, 2018 · An F1 car would blow an Indycar out of the water around Indy for a while, but not for full 500 mile race. Indycars are spec and have comparatvely little scope to adapt the cars to the track. F1 would be able to run super aerodynamics, bigger tyres = better corner speed etc. and if allowed - DRS would be pretty awesome.

The time spent behind safety car due to commercials in Indycar is ridiculous. But, Indycar is more nerve wracking than F1. I am an obsessed F1 watcher (haven’t missed a race since 2014) but for the last 3 years I can’t miss an Indycar race either. So different but equally important.

Apr 22, 2023 · The cars are actually purpose built for the Indy oval. That is the staple of the Indycar series. They basically adapt the cars to run on street and road circuits, so it’s not purpose built for them. Which is why an F1 car will run circles around an Indycar on a road/street circuit and an Indycar would do the same to an F1 car on a large oval.
