They race 1 lap and the F1 race car gives them over a 1 minute headstart. I never appreciated how fast these cars really are.

Did you see the acceleration of the F1 coming out of that last turn to over take the Mercedes. Unbelievable!! Like a bullet!
Checking his investments.
i think i found what i want next
Jeez..that thing runs like my 4x4 Dodge, lol..seriously though, that was awesome..
awesome, but expected.
we're dealing with 300 horse street cars on street tires with 'ride motivated' suspension.. ON a race track.... going up against a 800-900 horse F1 car, weighing less than half the opponents, double wishbone independent suspension all around tuned for the track itself, and 12-15 inch soft compound racing tires.....
its like giving a headstart to a bicycle, and then catching it on a hayabusa......
Truly shows how much faster the F1, IRL, and other Cart Cars are than a normal vehicle.... Simply Amazing!

The acceleration is crazy, but the difference in F-1 and every other race car in the world is #1 braking and handling.
I love watching F-1 and tried going to Indy this year but it didn't work out.

the handling is just unreal... its measure in g's... not tenths of them.. lol
its just a misleading video for those who don't keep up with it, and an educational video for those who do.....
