Back in the day, F1 or Indy or CART (one of them) had zero to 100 MPH in 3 seconds. Top speed in the straights of 250 to 260 MPH.

very cool

very nice. I've seen something like this before, but I cannot find it for you to view.

It was something like, Eddie Lawson on a Grand Prix 500cc vs a Honda street bike vs a Datsun.

Back in the days of the killer B cars they were running close to Formula 1 times on the street.
Check out the phenomenal HB Audi Quattro.

No wonder Kimi Räikkönen quit Formula 1 to race in the World Rally Championship series. WRC must be way more fun.

BTW, the Dakar Rally returns to Argentina and Chile on January 1st.

Cool cars and great drivers, but I don't know how they could be compared to F1 cars, as they're designed for completely different conditions. Did the two different types ever drive the same course? You wouldn't be able to use a F1 car on those roads, and I think an F1 car would easily win a race on the glass smooth F1 courses.

Those spectators have little care for self preservation!

ok how does it compare to a top fuel dragster. 0-100 in .8 sec, top speed 300 mph. with just 500 ci. you see it all just depends on far you open the door.

 

[Hokiefyd]

Is it bad when you recognize that road course as "Silverstone" because of how many times you've run it in Forza on the Xbox?

to:Hokiefyd no thats a way cool way to know race tracks. ill bet you can even give the PRO drivers some tips.

I bet not. That's my least favorite "real" track in the game, and the one I'm worst at!

Road Atlanta is my favorite; I'll have to try it in real life one of these days.
