Lotus renault GP - 0-300 KM/H - Time trial

[Master1906]

heavy cars actually benefit in a drag race when it's raining, more weight means more normal force from the surface ie: more friction.

[slusset]

@Master1906 More weight also means more inertia, meaning more force required to accelerate.

[Master1906]

@slusset Inertia means nothing, when the driving force exceeds the friction coefficient, in this case a wet track basically cuts two thirds of the original static coefficient.

[saberskunk1]

Why did we not see these vehicles drag racing side by side? Weak.

[topski100]

crap video



[MiniKonstii]

! really wonder how much difference that smaller rear wing made, they should have 2 cars, one with that wing and the other with a 'normal' sized wing

[haziqdaM5fanatic]

@MiniKonstii If you meant a normal circuit configuration rear wing, it's a lot of difference compared to this Monza/Indianapolis spec rear wing. The normal rear wing will help in giving extra traction somewhere through 100kmh upwards from the downforce but it won't help in achieving higher top speeds and may slow down the acceleration.

[B23ND4N]

It's impossible to be dry while driving an F1 car.

[DRIVEconcept]

I think it´s easy to compare 0 to 300km/h, but the really amazing thing about f1 is cornering speed and acceleration after a corner. It´s a difficult thing to understand, the amount of grip they generate while cornering.

[TheFoyer13]

@DRIVEconcept Exactly and maybe even more impressive is the braking and deceleration.

[sbandat90]

F1 cars destroy every cars

[Dansshortclips]

OKE020.. 1973 ke20 corolla. 179mph in 7.9sec google it. :-)

[johnymomo]

why not on dry day???????

[charle555555]

dry, slicks, rubbered in track under 10.00 easy

[Viriuzzz]

2012 F1 LotusRenault: 12.1 seconds 0-300, 1971 Porsche 917/30 Can am (1200 PS for 800 kg) : 11.8 seconds 0-300.

[haziqdaM5fanatic]

@Viriuzzz The F1 cars of nowadays have slightly less horsepower at around 800. The weight of this 2010 Renault R30 is around 750-800kg with driver on board and full fuel. The tyres and wet condition isn't really helping at all in this video.

[francesthemutes]

I have wanted to see this comparison for YEARS! I knew that a Formula 1 car would be faster than the Veyron but I've seen many videos online of the Veyron going from 0-300 and sometimes I think that the Veyron could hold its own against an F1 car in a straight line. Yeah... not going to happen. Imagine if they had a dry surface and slick tyres. Damn!

[tstraw48]

Unless they're doing the test in snow, the F1 car will destroy all challengers. I see your point regarding time to 300km/h but the F1 car will remain on top in dry, damp, wet, etc..

[edchm88]

where can i find the complete film ?? the name of the film ??

[SmellySpick]

I want to see Nicolas Prost in F1. I want to see him race Bruno Senna.

[Vorgaloth]

Music???

[snupers]

Lol they didnt even bother to turn up with a renault or lotus car xD

[024xp]

@snupers dude try 1:10 .... not sure how you can miss it...

[vitto]

really?

not even a track lap?

POINTLESS.

[JosephHua]

What is the name of the music? 2.00.

[JosephHua]

On dry and soft slick tyre, 0-100km/h is less than 2.8s. 300km/h sure around 10s.

[speedyrs09]

@mrstig691 unlikely, red bull don't accelerate faster then other cars, instead they go around corners faster then everyone else, although the moral of this story is, if your rich and want a fast car, don't bother with a Bugatti Veyron, just hire an F1 car!!

[MrStig691]

Get a Red Bull, in the dry; sub 10 seconds.

[MrNuwandaa]

brazzersvideos.tumblr. com/ alın piçler

[pantelos96]

hahhaa 1st veyron was as i see in defcon 3 which is not so fast as being in defcon 4 and bring veyron ss...!!! you will see whick is the winner... :P

[Kartlad90]

I wish they did a drag race with all those cars!

[onuracar92]

this music ??



[onuracar92]

this music ??

[hompola96]

TyRE!

[TheAirsoftmadman]

1:21 POWER

[redlineroberts]

The kinda people who dislike this video are people who like Fu**ing animals.

[Kampfy90]

What is the music after the lotus does its run?

[imranbadmash1]

The fastest Formula One car was of 2004...

[AlexDeLarge90]

@imranbadmash1

Around certain tracks maybe. The 2011 cars qualified faster around certain tracks, Monaco for instance.

However, I think the 1400hp+ turbo cars in F1 in 1986 were the fastest accelerating ever.

The Benetton BMW in 1986 (when they still were allowed to use as much turbo boost as the engine could take) had over 1400hp for qualifying. According to BMW they used 5.6 bars of boost in order to get that much horsepower. The thing was almost undrivable.

[rosun82]

@AlexDeLarge90 The gear box in 1986 wasn't that good

[blainyrules]

0:21 Any relation?

[alancerna4]

this year renault gp will be on top once again

[Spcialzd]

@alancerna4 No they won't. They just don't have the money and power of the big 3.

[joedouglas08]

why bother doing this in the wet? wait a few days and clear it in the dry...

[tstraw48]

@joedouglas08 How will that change the result?

[joedouglas08]

@tstraw48 Just saying that on a dry day, with slicks, the time could be a lot quicker. slick tyres means more surface area on the tarmac, which means better traction therefore better acceleration...

[MupNaz]

@tstraw48 A dry surface would mean more grip when accelerating and therefore a faster time

[xelvemagicx]

@joedouglas08 maybe because arranging them cars to come together again is expensive?...

[miksulder]

wet conditions...

[Neptys12]

gänsehaut <3



[hmuz2010]

~640kg vs. 1-2tons

[dks11000]

Put it against a racing modified Suzuki Hayabusa turbo.

[SiulF1]

@dks11000 that would be interesting. And just for reference, they should add an 1986 Williams-Honda FW11 in qualyfing setup.

[workshop77777]

LOOOLLLLLLLLL at the rear wing at 1min 21 sec !!!!!!!!!! Maybe the boys from volkswagen shoulda ripped the aircon and electric seats outa the Veyron bahahaha. Some joke. Pescarolos wagon did pretty good actually, 1000kg car with what, less than 700 horses and it makes the 15 second mark.

[Resnorth]

meaningless video.

1. Veyron SS isn't the fastest in the world in accel.

Didn't you heard about 9ff Porsche Gturbo R?

or 9ff BT1000?

look at these: imageshack . us / f / 641/03000j.jpg (delete space)

Weineck's Cobra makes 0-300 for 10.0 s.

2. Red Bull, Mercedes GP, Ferrari, McLaren are faster than Renault in F1.

shame and poor PR for Renault F1.

[kiskk]

Why could they not have done this when the track was dry ;<

[Rislundman]

Not to be the guy who ruins the party but, check out the rearwing.. its not really the same as is used in F1..

[glemmy]

@Rislundman it is not?

hint: try to google "F1 2011"

[Rislundman]

@glemmy I did. I watch formula one regularly..

The wing in the video is flatter than a real wing that they use in races..

It is so flat so it wont drag the car and slow it down, however it provides less downforce but more speed (they need downforce in races (grip) and that is why they use a different wing in F1 races.. a wing that is angled and not so flat..

[SuperInline6]

What's the poit of this movie? Of course a F1 will be faster than road cars. Why they didn't compete against other f1 cars?

[formula1nh]

Only if this was dry!!! Could have done it under 10 secs

[Thiagomar2008]

f1>>>>black hole>>>>> all cars

[formula1nh]

@Thiagomar2008 lol that was quite hilarious, good one ;)

[dks11000]

@Thiagomar2008 hahaha

[FrankHugh]

Does anyone know what song is playing in the background?

[daboom2006]

Obviously. F1 car weights less than half. and also has much bigger wheels so gets much better traction.

[mondoXpeanut]

mucho fastness

[Goci89]

Lada... :DDDD

[KevinCln1]

Who did the music for this... ?

[Strubbs93]

Интересно было бы посмотреть на RB7.

[Geo3636]

CHATEAUUUUUUUUUUUUUROUX



[11Kanal11]

why do they test these cars when it's wet?? how stupid.

[buce1111]

12.10s 583m 0-300 LOTUS RENAULT

[buce1111]

next year Kimi in Lotus renault

[lancee99]

Kimi the best player! :)

[IsWorst]

Chateauroux ! yeah !

[bruteforce56]

Either this is BS or the Bugatti driver is a woman because it can do 0-300 km/h in 16.7s.  The Super Sport can do it in 14.6s. Granted, it was wet but you shouldnt have to add 3 seconds. AWD....

[dks11000]

@bruteforce56 f1 are RWD

[UltimeAngel]

Renault-nissan it s The same too!!!

[UltimeAngel]

Red bull it s Renault !!! The french motor !! Numéro 1 with S.vettel and Renault sport!! French!!!!

[wosktiebull410407]

Where is the drag racing car?

[juudo]

@wosktiebull410407 Try to do corners in drag racing car? :)

[chanyiwei]

im pretty sure Redbull 6 can do that in 5 sec~~

[titanix2]

They are all from different categories, no comparison. It's like put an F1 car on Talladega and expect to reach top speeds without flying from the bank.

[roberto5455]

0-100-lada looses

0-400-lada looses

Bugatti FTW (and it has air con and radio and it accualy can by driven)

[F1addict09]

And the wet conditions hindered the F1 car if anything! :P

[geek49203]

Reminds me of every other French art movie I've been forced to watch. Cept this one had a cool car. *FIN*

[TigerOfEchigo]

That Pescarolo was quick...

[GeneralRushHour]

Song name?

[crone1972]

I can't understand the majority of negative posts for this video? Some of you know some interesting trivia. Thanks for sharing! I appreciate anyone who takes the time to assemble these cars and drive them in a time trial and share with the world.....wet or dry! True enthusiasts wouldn't be so negative!

[bob333336]

Nico Prost!

[RoarOfZonda]

1 WORD FOR TODAY..... ICEMAN!

[NottinghamForest22]

@RoarOfZonda he won't be very good next season...

[thornado4413]

Put a nissan r90ck out there, it would beat the pescarolo...

[imatafu]

Truly magical.

[tperformance86]

this Time trail is bad, on a wet track....please try again on dry track

[thhedk]

@tperformance86

If it is from England, they have no chance :o)

[Bellio23]

MASA MASA I JESZCZE RAZ MASA!

[croccofanto]

that sucked. Fuck the music! it's supercars, let me her the sound! and i want to se them actuly do a drag, and skip al the hero shots of the driver..

[pospan84]

testing on wet track is stupid

[m5boarddotcom]

Gorgeous film, well done!

Koenigsegg Agera R 0-300 km/h: 14,53 s/watch?v=6WtlmpOKMG4

Greetings from Sweden!

[GeorgiosKritikos77]

@m5boarddotcom 14,53 on dry..........

[GeorgiosKritikos77]

@m5boarddotcom 14,53 on dry........

[SKELFER911]

@m5boarddotcom on water ???

[vprmn]

@m5boarddotcom this video is on wet track...normally F1 car reaches the 300 km / h to 9 seconds ;) but nice video too.

[workshop77777]

@m5boarddotcom ye but it had a special tyres and a strong tail wind!

[drkre88]

you fucked robert, robert fill fuck u in ferrari in 2013

[UCplayer]

Hmm it was raining + RWD + Raining tyres. On dry conditions the F1 would eat the Veyron.

[hajimekishi]

I'll stick with my Veyron.

[MrAMColes]

@hajimekishi ugliest car in the world imo

[manfred05]

So cool!

[mattyb3408]

Your F1 car might be faster but try turning on the AC and radio! Oh and you cant even take a hot chick out in it either! Looks like you lose! ;)

[Sl1z3r]

@mattyb3408 who the fuck cares about that when you have one of the best engine sound? and who even want a car to take hot chicks?

[FERRARIAVI]

I think for the first time we are watcjing an F1 car and a Bugatti Veyron side by side.

[Basserman93]

WHATS THE SONG NAME!?!??!?!??!?!??!?!??!!?!!

[McLarenMercedes]

I'd like to see this 2010 "Lotus"-Renault against Ayrton Senna's 1986 Lotus-Renault with a 1300hp turbo V6 (qualifying trim)

Btw, the 1973 Can-Am championship winning Porsche 917-30 did 0-320km/h (0-200mph) in 10,9 seconds according to some sources. Needless to say Can-Am cars had no upper displacement limit so it developed 1580hp in qualifying trim, and with the car itself weighing 800kg, that was a power to weight ratio of almost 2000hp/ton.

[deggis4]

Pointless comparsion, but so are clueless the people who really think Veyron or something could beat a pure race car because they only stare at the bhp figure.

[McLarenMercedes]

@deggis4

Well said. You'd be amazed how many people still reason "Veyron has 1000+ hp so it will beat any car with less hp".

Here's something most fail to realize too. Nothing comes close to cornering and braking ability of a F1 car and around a circuit racecars from other racing series have no chance let alone roadlegal cars.

I am amazed there's not comments like "He doesn't know how to drive" from kids who never drove cars themselves.

[rafcamora991]

set a posrche panamera car, man you are stupid, panamera against a F1 car...ccc...

[MrPlagues]

And just noticed they indeed had them all running together at the end of the video -_-

[MrPlagues]

Pretty pointless comparing an F1 and an LMP1 car to a bunch of road cars, they should've had them all running together at the same time and that would've at least made for a cool video.

Also interesting that the F1 was only 3 seconds faster than the Pescarolo LMP, I wonder how it would do in a straight line against something like a Peugeot 908 or an Audi R18, which are the fastest LMP1s out there and completely embarass that Pescarolo.

[DeViLvs]

this is a joke?

drag test on wet?

[MrGgajic]

quite simple - power to weight ratio of F1 car is faaaaaaaar better then any production car ever had..

[krokodil191]

wait...where is the race? :O

[viktorcarzavec]

if porsche made F1 GP car things would be different...cmon panamera is family car (hahaha)

[McLarenMercedes]

@viktorcarzavec

Porsche DID make F1 cars. In the 1960's. They only won one race, the 1962 French GP.

Porsche had more luck as an engine builder in the 80's where the TAG sponsored Porsche V6 Turbo took 5 titles in 1984-1985-1986.

Then again Porsche also made the V12 engine Footwork used in 1991 in Formula 1 and it was so bad the team replaced it mid season. No other team wanted it, so Porsche retired from F1 with a huge flop.

[bigbangAT]

Not really a suprise that a F1 car wins of a luxery sports car...

[NeshilaJunior]

LADA FTW!

[rahulrvideo]

@tix3pat i dunno much about the cars , but r u saying that , performing this in a wet track will add more advantage to them since , it will offer lesser friction cmp to a dry one ? if not , wats the reason.

[Tyler83Mr]

12 seconds in a F1 car ? WTF ? I've already see it under 9s !!

[mmaluchnik]

@Tyler83Mr Did you completely miss the fact that its wet?

[LEFTKOYL]

Were we can find the song that is playing background?

[hdx555]

whats the song name ?

[renzojvd]

So...an F1 car is faster than any other road car and some inferior category race cars. Maybe that's why it's a formula 1 car? I don't see tha point of this video. What were you looking to get out of it?

[aingaran2003]

@renzojvd comparing the differnce. And group c isn't exactly inferior

[22j77]

Why not comparing it to a top fuel dragster then? They are made for this type of thing!

[MrZutika]

Wet track? Why? Lotus Renault? Why? What's up with RBC? So, the F1 car is impossible fast. ... and if the track is dry...I don't wanna know it.

[TheVszili]

every french car is a bullshit ! thats my opinion

[feboburger]

goosebumps footage ,bows down !

[xismxist]

Bullshit comparison, the performance of this "F1" car equals a GP2 car. Either the driver sux or the gear ratio is way off... either way, on a dry surcafe the F1 would had make it to 300 kmh under 9 seconds.

[rypto]

It's in my city ;-) Impressionnant !

[DucatiKozak]

Motorcycle @ 2:02 FTW!! Almost the cutting room floor but conspicuously cut from the time data... me thinks Lotus was embarrassed.

[MrShkiperov]

And what time is needed by McLaren MP4-26 to achieve 300 km/h?

[frozonev]

Why race a monster like this against road legal cars ?

[TythorZeth]

Dumpert.

[LaRutte]

and what about the Supersport? and why on wet track?!?!

[peacenforcer]

As we say in Russia: a tough guy among sheep and a sheep among tough guys!

Renault'd better brag about beating rivals FROM THEIR LEAGUE, not from minors, and we all know how things are in this department

PS: having said that, the video is beautifully shot to beautiful music - so kudos to the vid but not to the main idea, 'cause again - u don't show your strength against the weak and expect to be admired for it

[kshitij88]

@peacenforcer If da video was abt Renault R30 vs other F1 cars hw wud you get da feel of 0-300km/hr accln as all cars wud perform similarly. I dn't think Renault is trying to brag abt its R30, its just showcasing da technology & performance of a F1 car compared to da fastest production cars in da world. Most of da people in da world may someday get to see a Veyron or R8 accelerating frm close quarters but not possibly a F1 car. So I think dis is a gud way to let ppl know how fast a 'F1' car is.

[manolicontra]

@peacenforcer they never claimed their car to be better because it can beat road cars or the LMP1. rather showing the performance difference between each vehicle. but of course, its easy to come to silly conclusions when you feel strongly against a team

[hzj79]

@peacenforcer you are right bracie, but remember that renault's straight line speed was at times as good as any F1 car this season, it is their downforce that leaves much to be desired. consider this video as a satire for world's leading sport cars when big brother F1 comes and says "hahahah"

[rmwebs]

Top gear test track...nice :)

[gusmodelmaker]

no, filmed @ Châteauroux Airport, France

[BanaGa]

I think the question should be why do this in the first place ? period what's the purpose of doing it ? the Veyron is a 2 seater supercar the panamera is 4 seater GT coupe and the damn Lotus car is a pure racer, this is no fair comparison , pit it against other F1 cars and then go go for all the bragging rights.

" We are Lotus renault GP" pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[SuperNauzer]

Vitaly Petrov the BEST

[TheBigHase]

Amazing! Please don't fire Bruno Senna ! He needs to stay in F1! I really think he is not doing too bad so far! And how about Prost / Senna times again - that would rock! Good luck for Brasil ! Acelera Bruno! Hope you figure out a good strategy - if it rains everything is possible!

[RedlineAngel]

Wow. Pure car porn.

[ben8994]

Wish it had some onboard shots of all of the cars... would have sounded naaaiiiccee

[raceboy1971]

What, did they get the world's slowest Veyron? With more HP than traction, negating the weight disadvantage, and 4WD, the Veyron should have easily beaten the F1 car in wet conditions and a Super Sport should beat the F1 car in dry conditions as well.

[ben8994]

@raceboy1971 you obv dont know much about physics. The F1 car has near enough double the power to weight ratio of the veyron. 2 tonne car with 1000bhp gives you 500bhp per tonne. F1 car has about 720bhp in a car that weighs a minimum of 640Kgs, thats a ptw ratio of over 1000bhp, so in either condition the f1 car would win.

[ChuckNorrisOfF1]

@ben8994 true dat...

[Victorpg88]

What's the song name?

[pm7movies]

In 2004 F1 cars could hit 300 in about 8 seconds they could go from 0 to 240 to 0 again in 5 seconds they were monsters the very best of racing cars the world has ever seen f1 is still fast today = to about 2001 spec with more downforce and less grip dont forget in those days there was a tyre war so there tyes had more grip but i think we wont see these speeds in this decade maybe the next one when hydrogen power become more powerful and effcient
