@macfunatic1 You do realize that, for example, old Renault V10s redlined at about 12k RPM?

F1 show cars are real F1 cars built with out of date or lifed out parts. Normally they are the previous season's chassis. In this case, it seems a private collector got his hands on a racecar, which is not surprising since there was a company offering opportunities to actually drive the Footwork. On the engine note, they only revved to about 15000 in the mid 1990s and if you had to pay the bill for a rebuild, you wouldn't wind it up either. This particular car is from the no driver aid era.

Formula 1 wins vs all cars... maybe some electric new build cars can break this records

ok lets just set everything strait here, this is not a formula 1 car nor dose it have any era of formula 1 engine, you can hear very very easily that it's not revving anywhere near 17 18 19 thousand rpm. it is modeled similar to FA15 but you can tell it's not really it. f1 cars did have launch control, traction control, and stability control but was banned for the second time in 2009. most likely this is a show F1 car from 94, 95 to do promotions

this is not F1 car!
-
Why bother?
-
@gkmotorsport Oh ok thanks.
-
@MazzaFiveOneFour Benetton's '94 car did, but they weren't meant to have it. Launch control and traction control were banned in 1994 and unbanned in 2001.

This is one dirty track!

@gkmotorsport They never had launch control from what I remember, did they?
For the benefit of those who think it's not an F1 car because 'it doesn't sound right', this actually looks remarkably like a Footwork Arrows FA15, which was fielded in 1994. It has obviously been painted up to look like the later Arrows cars which ran in 2000-2002, but the paint is pretty irrelevant. A simple Google Image search shows the resemblance to the FA15 or FA16.
The engine sounds like a Cosworth or Judd V8 - the former was originally used in the car.

Seriously guys, Google 'Footwork Arrows FA15' before you post. Oh, and F1 cars do not have launch control any more. Seriously...
