Mercedes Benz F1 vs DTM vs AMG

[vilee453]

DC rulz!

[somerville1234]

Current mclaren merc f1 car is 947BHP I was at silverstone all weekend

[Claymore2408]

@somerville1234 too bad you weren't there when the F1 cars had V10s, the race track sounded like a battlefield.

[scotty554]

@somerville1234 F1 cars now have around 750hp, give or take maybe 25, 30 horsepower

[JohnnyEdwards20]

i just love how he exits that corner at 2:22

[sarelle500gr]

i prefer sl, so comfortable and strong sounding ;)

[bashie34]

They actually brought f1 driver to race those two vehicles. I bet you he finished the whole sports section and coffee lol what a joke. I am thinking of suing the author of this vid plus Mercedes for 3:00 of my life. I will let my lawyers handle the value of that time ROFL.

@bashie34 *cough* fag *cough*

[TeoTune]

Ferrari World is much Better!!!

F O R Z A F E R R A R I

[tafftich]

people need to go see f1 cars go-watching on tv does`nt do them justice, they are f**kin flyin` machines!!

[F355]

Years ago I attended to a one week long formula1 briefing. And the first thing they taught us was: F1 cars are much faster than you think.

[Fongfongmc]

opposite of starting order

[wire22wire]

Damn Coulthard is fast

[Sporek]

Where did they get slicks for F1 car? I'm pretty sure that's not '97 car.

[kistirpi]

that's an MP4-16 from 2000:)

[koenf1]

There was no Mp4-16 in 2000 ;-) It's the Mp4-15 ...

[honda900000]

Wrong wrong wrong, it 's a Mclaren MP 4-16 from 2001.

[koenf1]

I know ... The guy said it was the Mp4-16 from 2000...I said there was no MP4-16 in 2000, but the car of 2000 was called the MP4-15

[honda900000]

That's right.

[raffa69]

that f1 is a fucking rocket

[sidstille]

oh my gosh that F1 car can haul ass!

[daarhebikschijtaan]

cool race

[ICEMANZIDANE]

nice video..

[farqtoo98]

description of vid left out one car, that stock (not AMG) C180 Kompressor Compact!

[DJohnsonDB20]

i wish i knew wat they was sayin

[RandomUser2009]

they are just sayin that the F1 car fucks them all in record time

[connor9964]

@RandomUser2009 i love cars but wat r thay saying

[pubuman]

@connor9964 They are laying out the plans for a return trip to Warsaw.. hahahaha!

[mattcrash69]

those DTM cars are beasts but the F1 car makes it look like a wuss compared to what it's got

[4thGenStang]

@mattcrash69 well lets put it this way, the bugatti veyron has around 500hp per ton approximatly, and thats the fastest production streat legal car out there by far. And puts realy fast cars to shame. And f1 cars have aproximatly 1500hp per ton. So you could only imagin how fast those cars are accualy going

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@4thGenStang Gearing also has an effect on speed. F1 cars are fast for sure, but they're usually geared for extreme acceleration. I don't watch much F1 because I live in the US and getting up at 7:00 am on a sunday to watch racing will just make me grumpy, but even at Monza the cars usually top out at, what, 210 mph? Whereas, the cars at the Indy 500, while being heavier and short 200 hp set 220+mph AVERAGE lap speeds.

[kallo182]

@DuckwalkSupreme

Jes you right, thats because the Wings...

The Indycar got the Wings only to stay on the Road, the Indycar Wings are only that the Car dont go Up at High Speed.

The F1 Wings are for Corner Speed, and a F1 Car got sooooo much more Downforce than a Indycar.

The Indycar is maked for Strait and Highspeed, and the F1 is maked for Corners...

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@kallo182 Both cars will still pull your head from your shoulders under heavy braking or cornering. Both cars require that you be in fantastic physical condition. When the IRL goes to road courses, which is about half the schedule now, they are set up more for acceleration and handling, which they do very well, but just not as well as F1. I love open-wheel racing...

[kallo182]

@DuckwalkSupreme

Yes im like Open Wheels to, but i like also DTM, NASCAR and WTCC...

But im angry that in German TV you can not watch NASCAR : (

Because i love it when every Driver got the same Chance to win.

Like DTM or NASCAR...

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@kallo182 My Uncle Roland lives...somewhere in Germany. I hope to visit there someday. I like the idea of NASCAR, that you never know who will win the race. With F1, it's probably just going to be one of the top 3 or 4 teams almost every week. I just get bored watching oval racing. I do like watching the NASCAR road course races, I wish there were more of them. Looking at it on the Web, I think I would like DTM as well : ) Too bad it can't be found on US TV.

[Molo9000]

@DuckwalkSupreme

F1 cars are about 140kg lighter than an indy car (depending on driver weight in the indy car) and have about 100hp more.

If you gave an F1 car longer gear ratios, tyres that can cope with higher speeds and configured wings for low drag, they would surely be faster round ovals than indy cars.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@Molo9000 And the old Champ Cars would, in turn, most likely be faster around an oval, at least one with high banking, than an F1 Car. Those had about a 100 hp advantage over an F1 car, longer gear ratios, and less downforce. Tyres? Are you from the UK? I've always wondered how and why some words get spelled differently between English-English and American-English. Like tyres, colours...and the others I can't remember at this point.

[Molo9000]

@DuckwalkSupreme

According to wikipedia champ cars had about 725–800hp and I think F1 cars have about the same. (can't find accurate numbers)

I guess the deciding factor will be weight and drag. champ cars are another 20kg heavier than indy cars which makes them at least 160kg heavier than F1 cars.

Judging drag is more difficult. A huge amount of money is spent on aerodynamics in F1 and they are probably more efficient than champ cars, but then again they aren't designed for such fast corners.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@Molo9000 If the Champ cars really were around 725-800 hp, than they wouldn't have a chance on an oval against F1 cars, if 900-950 hp is correct, than it might be a slight advantage for the Champ cars. As for aero, they'd both run a low-drag set up at a place like Daytona. But, CART tested at a 1.5 mile, 24 degree banked oval with average lap speeds over 235mph. The G-forces caused drivers to have vertigo and one reported a complete loss of peripheral vision. The race idea was scrapped.

[jassage]

@DuckwalkSupreme Champ Cars *averaged* over 240 MPH at California Speedway. There and at Michigan they surpassed 250 MPH on the frontstretch. The only F1 car to go over 250 MPH was at Bonneville Salt Flats and they had to take the wings off it to do it.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@jassage 240 mph on a relatively flat track would really mess with your insides.

[pubuman]

@jassage F1 Cars can easily achieve that speed if they were set up for it... but that's not what they are about, they sacrifice a lot of top speed to get fast acceleration and insane cornering. No car in the world would beat an F1 car on an actual track (not an oval)...

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@Molo9000 And the old Champ Cars would, in turn, most likely be faster around an oval, at least one with high banking, than an F1 Car.

[Molo9000]

@DuckwalkSupreme

I'm actually from Germany but am used to british english more than american english. I can't remember which kind we learned in school but we definitely had a few lessons on differences between american and british english.

I'm actually surprised how similar american and british english are. After all a huge part of the europeans who conquered america didn't speak english when they got there.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@Molo9000 I've never been to Germany, sadly, but I'd hazard a guess that the rest of the world is taught British-English. They are indeed similar, it's mostly the slang that gets changed, even among different parts of the US. Your written English is flawless, by the way. Better than my German since I only know three words of it. As for the old Champ cars, I read a MotorTrend article (circa 2001) that had them at 900-950 hp, as did the CART website at the time.

[RingSight91]

@DuckwalkSupreme >"but I'd hazard a guess that the rest of the world is taught British-English."

Only in Commonwealth countries. Others get the option of American English...or just bad lessons thereof.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@RingSight91 Commonwealth countries...is Canada still one of those? Off the top of my head I would also guess...whatever country the Isle of Mann is in, and that's about all I've got. Australia's English is much more English than America's English, but their relationship to Britain is not the same as Canada's is it? Regardless, English is English. With the exception of some slang words and phrases, anything I say will be understood by Brits and Aussies and same the other way around.

[RingSight91]

@DuckwalkSupreme Look-up "Member states of the Commonwealth of Nations" on Wikipedia. And having family from Canada and visited there, I'm told they still have allegiance to The Crown.

Mann is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, it's not part of another country.

[DuckwalkSupreme]

@RingSight91 I figured that this information was easily available on the internet, but I was overtaken with e-laziness so I thought I'd try to be a smartypants and have a guess at it...So it seems to me to basically be former colonies of the British Empire still keeping some connection together, with a few exceptions. And that Commonwealth nations are not "foreign" to each other. Almost like the relationship between Puerto Rico and the US, but not as close.

[sadlerrr]

wow!

[grybold]

At 2:49, wow! It really puts into perspective the difference between these cars. The F1 comes out of a corner, car at constant velocity, and then jams the accelerator to make the c-class look like it's sitting still !

[Hrt4life]

kool what year was that 2001-2002

[SiXFiGA350Z]

no idea what the man is saying but WHAT A VID!

That F1 tore it up but I honestly wouldnt mind settling for the street legal version of the DTM =p

being 1 of 99, does anyone know how much those things sale for?

[chegger401]

09 Audi A4 DTM ~1.000.000€ for sale

[raybould1345]

have you noticed that all these races for example f1 vs rally vs road car always end the same if they are on silverstone on the last corner they all overtake each other lol.

[cobracommander732000]

subtitles would have been nice

[Kpeters]

i want an F1 :D

[Kpeters]

Ohh god another ignorant asshole that has nothing more to do than bothering ppl on internet sites. Well done ass.

[ericeng91]

yea. i want one too!

but don't they cost like a couple million?

i know ferrari spends hundreds of millions just to build 1

and the lower ranked ones (the companies that have little to spend) spend 50 million dollars to build it.

So. we have to be really rich to get one

[Kpeters]

Yeah...filthy rich haha

[rafateixeira]

Awesome..thanks!!!

[Rthakor]

what a pisstake. haha!!

[lean8585]

muy buen video, que difrencia. por dios

[jc3martin]

awesome! i would be shitting myself if i was that c240
