Inside a Formula 1 Car -- Aerodynamics

In Formula 1 races, aerodynamics are one of the most important elements to achieving great speeds. Formula 1 vehicles have smaller frontal areas to maximize the amount of power used to propel it, and decrease the amount of wind resistance encountered. The Panasonic Toyota Racing Team spends an estimated 8,000-9,000 hours a year developing the vehicle in specially-designed wind tunnels, as well as working on CFD, computational fluid dynamics -- a computer program used to unearth air flow patterns over the car.

The Americans do not have such sort of an exposure that is why their cars are light years behind the European cars !

@MrJoyDevision it was 267mph actually and of course a veyron goes faster than an f1 car in a straight line but it wouldn't be able to go around a corner at f1 speeds to save its live

@MrJoyDevision fast yes, on straights, but cant handle the curves in hifgh Gs like F1s, still incomparable.

[MrJoyDevision]

i've heard that the Buggati Veryon Supersports managed to reach a final speed of 256 mph. That is even faster than a Formula 1 final

[MrJoyDevision]

@ic3m4nSLO they still worked ten hours but all together.
