McLaren formula one car vs. road cars

Great Day in the morning!!!

On Gran Trusimo Im saving up for ferrari formula 1...it cost 8 million quid...im only in the 800k column

They did this on a Jeremay Clarkson video like 10 years ago with a Ford Mondeo, Colin Mcrae in his rally Focus and Johnny herbert in his F1 car =]

Was browsing through many motorsports videos like Group B and Baja 1000 stuff.
Came by and saw this F-1 video and found it very interesting.
But one thing left me confused?
What exactly is "Kinetic Energy Recovery" system?
I've never heard of this

I've seen Evo Vs Bmw F-1 in brazil before the f-1 grandprix

Thats just like those races is Gran Turismo 4 where your in the fastest car and slower cars of the same family start out way ahead of you.

It is incredible the comparison between F1 Cars and a normal road car. Look at the clip and you will know what I mean.

Clearly you don't know the power of these things. Murray even points out that Coulthard is toying with the road cars on the final corner - he's nowhere near full throttle until you see that 'good turbo charge at the end', even then it doesn't look to me like he's opened the throttle completely.

There's plenty technology that could have been used to give us near 300mph racing.

'Ground effect' - Air sucked from underneath the car for more downforce. Search for Fan Car. If the car lifts, downforce is lost and this was a factor in the death of Gilles Villeneuve. Ground effect was faded out and this is why all F1 cars have a flat chassis.

Turbos were banned in '89 and the cars were restricted to 3000cc in '95 both for safety reasons.

I'd love 300mph racing, too, but it's just not safe =(

Its true ground effect cars are prohibited in F1, but in FIA F2 they use ground effect cars for the extra downforce...
