@bison6661 -- you're right its really not bad ... keep in mind this F1 car is about 10 years old and didn't win any accolades (Jaguar F1) -- if you want one of Schumi Ferrari's WDC winning machines it runs around $2 million 0_0
To those of us who have gone WOT on a Yamaha R1 in every gear, and we feel it's the fastest thing ever, we need to ponder a formula 1 car. These things are almost double the power to weight ratio, and considering rev ranges and tire sizes, they are. To drive a Formula 1 car is to dine on honeydew and drink the milk of paradise.
This guy has too much adrenaline in his system combine that with a monster and the average person would blackout in fear power to weight would be like driving a bullet
I think it`s so sad that a trooper like Mark Webber didn`t become champion this year.S.Vettel has many good years ahead of him,M.Webber FINALLY got a competative car,but is at the end of his career.I think Webber deserves a championship much like some get a gold watch when they retire.

I wonder how good is good, i mean jaguar when they raced in F1 a few years ago was scrap when commpared to a Ferrari, they just keep going over the edge, wonder if there is any limit? :S God I love racing :) trying to find the limits of the car is just a super and dangerous job :)
Huge respect for Chris here. Saying he drives the car like a pussy is just stupid. He is driving on a track, covered in parts of ice. F1 cars are very tricky in these conditions, espacially when you are a novice.

he drives this car like a little bitch.
trying to get some heat into the tyres my arse.
i think this video would be more entertaining if he had the balls to push the accelerator firmly to the floor and stand on the brake with some commitment. did you see how slow he reacted to that oversteer causing him to spin? as if he wasnt expecting it the SECOND time. pathetic. embarassing!

Anyone who says that doesn't comprehend how obscenely much they get paid- eg Webber $200,ooo per week, Schumacher (from 1996- 2006) $2 million per week. $2 million per week, every week for 10 years- while u earn $2000, maybe just $1000 per week?
Ie. in your entire life working 40 or 50 hours a week in an actual (productive) job, you will earn about what Schumacher earned per week for a decade, in a "job" that, if we're honest, anyone would do for fun for free.
Lol, no offence mate, but you`re just a pissed off beacuse you inevitably have a very difficult 9 - 5 job and aren`t particularly happy the way your life has unfolded
Don`t get me wrong, I know we`re in the midst of an economic depression the likes of which we`ve never seen, but do you think somebody comes up to their doorstep and says " You`re racing for Ferrari now!"
NO, They go out and they fuckin earn it, so "uneducated fools" like you can think about why theyre on youtube
@F1addict09 Not even close- I actually have never worked because I fully see what a scam the whole system is- working class are slaves while the privileged indulge at the expense of the working masses (thats the pyramid principle). It's you working class that are the "uneducated fools"- i am just trying to help you see it- but invariably its too much of a shock to your egos to see how badly you've been taken for a ride- and you resort to palliative belief systems about sports "heroes". Crap!
Actually I raced (amateur) for 10 years (kart, F.Ford) and did an F3 and F1 track day- and the fact is its not that hard- yes it needs dedication and skill to become proficient- but no more so than say a guitar player- a fair analogy- as again it's something that is not productive to anyone else and is done purely for personal pleasure- and again there are a thousands of amateur hobbyists who can play as good as pros while a few privileges ones are gifted tens of $millions while you WORK.
@mallamoozoo you have to look at what they did to get there. the sponsorships. the advertising. all the off-track stuff is harder than what they do in the car. they bring money to the teams, theyre not just "gifted tens of millions", they work hard for it. theyre essentially salesmen until they become a big enough star to have the people coming to them
Have you guys seen the Lola B08/20 World Junior Formula Car, check out the Lola website or google it.
Man that car looks nice. suppose to bring F3 technology down to an even more affordable level for a F1 training class and driver school but the cars are actually more powerful than F3 cars.
Don't forget that £375K converts to $614,025USD today. ;)
A little research seems to show that the cost of a single car is around that range. It's all the backup parts and team, training etc overhead that adds up into the millions.
(Admittedly I know basically nothing about any of this.)
Even if its "only" worth 375,000 pounds. You have to add in all the maintenance that comes in for a F1 car.
And doesn't one of those engines last only a few week or so? (When used on a track). Because it is all built to be as light and give as much power as possible.
Well yea, I realize a lot of maintenance goes into the cars, but when you see that a Formula 1 steering wheel goes for $100,000 or a new engine costs over $200,000 alone, the overall price of this F1 car should be more don't you think?
Yes but as everything on the market it's not the labour that the determines the price, but amount of money that people are willing to pay for it. This device once the racing season is over is pretty much absolete and worthless it's done it's racing, it did or didn't earn advertising money and atracted sponsors and that's it.
375,000 is just for the car. & that cost alone will just allow the buyer to park it somewhere to gather dust. To buy & operate it...you are talking millions as you have to pay for the transport, engineers, mechanics, staff & basic regular maintainance & also new engines or rebuilds). And then also on top of that fuel...tyres etc.....which will cost extra. And BTW....he ditched the car at the end cos the tyres were too cold....he wasnt warming them up due to not driving fast enough.
@SupaSix1 actually ferrari offer a service that wont cost too many millions. after buying the car -you can get a 2000 schumacher car for around 1.5million they charge 5000 euros a year to transport and look after the car which is quite reasonable. they also provide a team of mechanics included in this price although there are maintenance costs which vary according to age and how well its looked after.
This is harder than it looks. Thing is.. you will be going too slow for the wheels to get warm so you get no traction. Also there wont be enough air flowing over the wings to generate downforce. again little traction and the breaks works better at high speeds. You can buy proper F1 cars from last season and stuff and race them yourself. They downtune them so its reliable rather than axe-murderer-aggressive. Forexample tune it down 1000rpm. Only a proper F1 driver would know the difference anyway
Is it me, or is he way too slow through the main straight? As for the rest of the circuit, he seems to be going quite fast for a beginner (Beginner here being an understatement, i know).
hes heaps slow everywhere dude, breaking so early for the corners. Interesting hearing the car blip the throttle on downshifts though, normally the drivers are so quick it gets mixed into one sound.
Actually hes going to quite slow. I know it sounds stupid but yes HE IS going fast but he isnt going fast enough to heat the brakes and tires so he can really start getting the grip. F1 Cars are so very complex and intimidating. This looks fast to me and you but in reality the experts will say you need to go faster gotta warm those brakes and tires up or you wont have enough stopping power and not enough grip. So in short... you need to go faster to get control the exact opposite of a road car
also. how many times have you seen an f1 car being driven in icy cold conditions, in a 2004 f1 car? if you can find me other examples of videos of people driving a similar f1 car, in these sort of conditions, where it looks 'fast', then fair enough. but you can't. you idiot.
you clearly dont have a fucking clue what you're on about. this is an old jaguar F1 car, from 2004 i think.
'hammond had all the driver aids off' ???? No he didn't! LOL. And he was driving on the shitty stowe circuit, on a colder day, and could barely handle the car at all.
chris harris is a PROPER driver, not some faggoty tv presenter, you idiot.
he was driving an f1 car on slicks on a freezing cold winter day at silverstone. its people like you that deserve to die.
Hats of to this guy, he drove a veyron at full pelt and didnt bat an eye lid, he has jumped in this and is blown away that must some performance under his right foot
Hey, although richard hammond seemed to struggle a bit more, this guy wasnt pushing the car at all, he was being a complete girl with the throttle and changing up super early. Richard actually tried to drive it with a bit of pace.
Lol, try reading my comment again. Im saying richard hammond actually tried to drive the car close to limit in explanation for the fact he seemed to struggle more.
yeah man, so hammond tried to drive to the limit and looked ridiculous spinning twice and in better weather conditions. harris did good ¿, and on icy weather.
i think hammond would have done better on a proper circuit like this not inbetween a miniscule coned section, like Nelson Piquet once said of monaco its like trying to ride your bicycle round your living room.
look at the tire, theres smoke, thats how warm it is! Dont take the blame for the 2nd spi chris, theres was ice right in front of the car that couldnt be avoided, you can see its reflection at 5:38
a much better attempt at driving an f1 car than richard hammonds imho!! a very good insight into the vast differences between driving a grand prix car and even the highest spec road cars
ive always wanted to know what would be faster, a GP2 car, so its not an f1 car, but still pretty frikkin speedy, or ron kiddels tuned r32 skyline. what do we think people?
anyone who knows what im on about will know that that skyline is the fucking buissness.
I used the Veyron as a point as the two vehicles have roughly the same torque to weight ratio. The F1 car is obviously alot faster as it has a power to weight ratio of about 1500bhp/ton v 550bhp/ton of the veyron. I was trying to make the point way back up there that torque to weight ratio means squat but you all seemed to have grabbed the wrong end of the stick and run with it.
Bull shit 7mgtesup, you were arguing with the fact that Harris said the F1 made the Veyron feel like a Mazda 2, therefor suggesting the F1 car wouldn't feel quicker,which it definitely would, because IT IS. Have a watch of that 5th Gear video with a Formula Ford V a Ford GT - and just remember how much quicker an F1 is compared to a Formula Ford which has approx 150bhp.
who can something think about a veyron being faster? cornering with 5g, braking with -35m/s - you can't tell on TV what those cars can do. I regulary visit FIA-GT etc which is fast but looks easy. Renault 3.5 was also there being flat at 270kph through Eau Rouge, but having seen F1 through Eau Rouge was unbelieveable.
Veyron can only go straight - give me a GT3 RS and I'll win against Veyron around the Nordschleife by miles - simply too fat and too powerful to be driven sporty
Guys, classic confustion of engine torque vs torque or FORCE generated at the rear wheels.
Power = Acceleration / (mass x velocity)
which means, at any same vehicle speed, the rear wheel forces will be identical (if the HP is the same. if the weight is differenct, plug in the HP/weight ratio and make your comparison.
So, the "engine torque" comparison above is meaningless for comparisons.
Were you referring to my comment? If i thought i could have convinced 7mgtesup of his error just by posting what you did believe me i would have. But buy by his comments i figured the only way he might listen would be to prove with calculations that his torque / weight figure was absolutely useless.
its amazing for him to be able to do that on his first time in an F! car. Very impressed!!!

Only a proper F1 driver would know the difference anyway

Is it me, or is he way too slow through the main straight? As for the rest of the circuit, he seems to be going quite fast for a beginner (Beginner here being an understatement, i know).
rafa281 2 years ago
hes heaps slow everywhere dude, breaking so early for the corners. Interesting hearing the car blip the throttle on downshifts though, normally the drivers are so quick it gets mixed into one sound.
muddwell 2 years ago
Actually hes going to quite slow. I know it sounds stupid but yes HE IS going fast but he isnt going fast enough to heat the brakes and tires so he can really start getting the grip. F1 Cars are so very complex and intimidating. This looks fast to me and you but in reality the experts will say you need to go faster gotta warm those brakes and tires up or you wont have enough stopping power and not enough grip. So in short... you need to go faster to get control the exact opposite of a road car

Jaguar has a F1 team? Since when...
2muchskill4you 2 years ago
since they bought Stewart F1 team..
and now they dont have anymore, since Red Bull bought Jaguar F1 team..
how long have you been watching F1?

I will be able to this summer though. I will learn more then so I do not ask stupid questions again.

also. how many times have you seen an f1 car being driven in icy cold conditions, in a 2004 f1 car? if you can find me other examples of videos of people driving a similar f1 car, in these sort of conditions, where it looks 'fast', then fair enough. but you can't. you idiot.
schumiisking 2 years ago
oh i meant warmer. As the day hammond was driving it was sunny, and quite obviously WARMER.
when you're trackside.. what. when watching f1 drivers drive? REALLY? It looks like hes driving slower than in a grand prix? DOES IT REALLY?
schumiisking 2 years ago
you clearly dont have a fucking clue what you're on about. this is an old jaguar F1 car, from 2004 i think.
'hammond had all the driver aids off' ???? No he didn't! LOL. And he was driving on the shitty stowe circuit, on a colder day, and could barely handle the car at all.
chris harris is a PROPER driver, not some faggoty tv presenter, you idiot.
he was driving an f1 car on slicks on a freezing cold winter day at silverstone. its people like you that deserve to die.

Hey, although richard hammond seemed to struggle a bit more, this guy wasnt pushing the car at all, he was being a complete girl with the throttle and changing up super early. Richard actually tried to drive it with a bit of pace.

yeah man, so hammond tried to drive to the limit and looked ridiculous spinning twice and in better weather conditions. harris did good ¿, and on icy weather.

i think hammond would have done better on a proper circuit like this not inbetween a miniscule coned section, like Nelson Piquet once said of monaco its like trying to ride your bicycle round your living room.

A F1 car needs just 9 seconds from 0 km/h to 300km/h and the Veyron something about 15sec. so u c the F1 is much faster

peavyt15 3 years ago
I used the Veyron as a point as the two vehicles have roughly the same torque to weight ratio. The F1 car is obviously alot faster as it has a power to weight ratio of about 1500bhp/ton v 550bhp/ton of the veyron. I was trying to make the point way back up there that torque to weight ratio means squat but you all seemed to have grabbed the wrong end of the stick and run with it.
7mgtesup 4 years ago
Bull shit 7mgtesup, you were arguing with the fact that Harris said the F1 made the Veyron feel like a Mazda 2, therefor suggesting the F1 car wouldn't feel quicker,which it definitely would, because IT IS. Have a watch of that 5th Gear video with a Formula Ford V a Ford GT - and just remember how much quicker an F1 is compared to a Formula Ford which has approx 150bhp.
rude90 3 years ago
please point to me where in all of this I said the F1 car wouldn't feel quicker?
7mgtesup 3 years ago
Just for the record guys, rude90 bought up the torque to weight argument not me.
rude90 wrote
7mgtesup, it also only ways just over half a ton, so it has a torque to weight ratio of 500lbs/ft per tonne! Not a clever comment was it?!!
7mgtesup 4 years ago
who can something think about a veyron being faster? cornering with 5g, braking with -35m/s - you can't tell on TV what those cars can do. I regulary visit FIA-GT etc which is fast but looks easy. Renault 3.5 was also there being flat at 270kph through Eau Rouge, but having seen F1 through Eau Rouge was unbelieveable.
Veyron can only go straight - give me a GT3 RS and I'll win against Veyron around the Nordschleife by miles - simply too fat and too powerful to be driven sporty

Correct, the Veyron is the enthusiasts "anti-car", fat is the perfect word.

are you lot arguing if a veyron or F1 car is faster?! I thought it be fucking obvious, the F1 car would completely waste ANY road car round a track.
setra23 4 years ago
Guys, classic confustion of engine torque vs torque or FORCE generated at the rear wheels.
Power = Acceleration / (mass x velocity)
which means, at any same vehicle speed, the rear wheel forces will be identical (if the HP is the same. if the weight is differenct, plug in the HP/weight ratio and make your comparison.
So, the "engine torque" comparison above is meaningless for comparisons.

zanick 4 years ago
Were you referring to my comment? If i thought i could have convinced 7mgtesup of his error just by posting what you did believe me i would have. But buy by his comments i figured the only way he might listen would be to prove with calculations that his torque / weight figure was absolutely useless.
