 Hello everyone and welcome back! Today I want to talk about the difference between Indycarb, there it is, Indycarb and Formula One. Okay that's a that's a very old one 2009 I mean if you don't know very well racing you won't really see any difference you know they look alike sort of look alike you know open wheel front wing rear wing bigger tire the rear at the front but they're actually quite different in Formula One every team creates his chassis his gearbox buys an engine from either Ferrari Mercedes Alpin or now it's called Red Bull Racing Honda let's put it that way so for manufacturing in Indycarb we've got two Honda or Chevrolet in Formula One is the hybrid technology so you got a v6 turbo with also a battery on a car and an electric engine all together it is more than 1000 horsepower in Formula One in Indycarb it's a much simpler engine in terms of technology but still very very pushed so it's a v6 turbo but no no hybrid for now other difference is that in Indycarb we run ethanol as a fuel petrol in Formula One so that's a that's a different different type of fuel in Indycarb so everyone's got the same car so you can choose the engine Chevrolet Honda but then everyone has got the same car the only part that you can you're free to create design update upgrade whatever it's the dampers and that's where there's a difference between the smaller team and the bigger team you know the damper budget is really big at at a bigger team trying to generate as much grip as we can from those dampers that's the difference between the teams in Indycarb watch in Formula One you create your own car obviously you try to copy what the others are doing great then you know Formula One is worldwide you go racing everywhere Australia Asia America Europe why is in Indycar we stay in the US apart from one race in Toronto Canada I'm hoping we're gonna go more we're gonna go to Mexico to Canada I would love to go back to Australia surface paradise and why not in Europe that'd be great I'll be able to see many fans that's my wish list Formula One has got very normal circuits and the street courses which are Monaco Singapore Baku and Jella and then in Indycar you've got the normal race track like Indianapolis GP road America but the street courses like Detroit St Pete and you've got the ovals and then within the ovals you've got a super speedway like Indianapolis 2.5 mile of 4 kilometers lap and a very short track like Iowa or Gateway which are even less than a mile so even less than 1.6 kilometers a lap so very different in that aspect qualifying obviously you know Q1, Q2, Q3 from Formula One in Indycar on the normal road course we kind of get the same system but then on the normal it's 2 to 4 laps average for your qualifying so you're on your own on the race track you only have one attempt a couple of laps are in Indy5 and then you get four laps in a row and it's the average of the four laps that are doing your qualifying order and then after qualifying we've got a race start so that's another big difference Formula One has got a standing race start what's Indycar's got a rolling race start rolling starts an amazing one you're in pole position now you just go on throttle whatever you want and off you go in Formula One it's quite tricky the race start with the clutch and getting the right raves and getting the right tire temp so a rolling start is easier apart when you're at the back but there's a lot of accordion you know everyone goes a little bit on throttle and the brake throttle brake throttle brake so you're like mm-hmm and you never really know when it's gonna go so you really want to try to be as as sharp as you can there then the races so once you've done the race start Formula One you will change tires once maybe twice and no refueling you go out and then when the tires won't come in put new tires go out again and so on and so on whilst in Indycar we've got a very small fuel tank 18 gallons 60 something liters so every 20 laps you have to come in the pit to refuel the car so the car goes really fast in the race we only half a second slower in the race that we are in qualifying just because we always put new tires go for 20 laps back in the pit 20 laps so the races are three four stops eight at the Indy 500 you know such a long race you've got eight pit stops in Formula One you want to wait for a safety car to pit because that saves you a lot of time in Indycar when there's a caution safety car the pits are closed so you cannot pit so if you've pitted the lap before you king of the world if you haven't pitted you may be in big trouble and lose a lot of position so strategy is very different in Formula One it's very clear before the race what strategy is going to be like you know exactly you're going to pit between lap 21 and lap 23 in Indycar we know what the fuel tank can do but then if there's any yellows or caution or safety car we can go longer and the strategy is much more on the go it's very hard to have any software that can predict anything also we've got very limited testing on the tires so like most of the time we would go in the race not knowing what's the tire life especially on the red tires because we're very limited in how many we've got and we want to save them for the race so yeah that's that's not an easy one in terms of strategy you know I think the beauty of Indycar is with all the settings the roll center the geometry the dampers the springs you can really make the car to your liking right you can really make it that you love driving the car and it fits your driving styles once in Formula One you do have to adapt with what you've got it's dominated by aerodynamics meaning that if the base of the car goes understeer I'm kind of the braking and I'm turning in like the house will do over the five years I was there and you don't like that you just have to drive around it I think Daniel Riccardo is a really good example such a talented driver won races don't really go to Rono went to McLaren and struggle a lot just because the car doesn't suit his driving style changing your driving style is a challenge it's not that easy you know you can do it you can adapt that's for sure but it's never gonna be a hundred percent natural on that makes it tricky Indycar the beauty is that you can you can make it the way you like it which is great but also makes it that a lap time are super close to each other because it's not the one that adds the best it's gonna go the fastest it's everyone gets to a point where you know the chassis has been run for 11 years now the team knows very well the the car so it's it's hard to make a difference it's possible but it's hard yeah budget budget huge difference Formula 1 you're looking at 150 200 million a year Indycar you're looking at I don't know 15 to 20 million so it's 10 times cheaper obviously there's less travel but yes there's less people as well but it's not less professional I really think that Indycar is very professional Formula 1 stays a pinnacle there's no doubt about it and I was lucky to to do it for 10 years and no I'm lucky to be able to do Indycar and discover something new those are the big differences maybe one that I forgot it's the pit stop so in Formula 1 1.88 seconds was the time that Red Bull took to change four tires in Indycar you're waiting for the fuel so the fuel is going to be about 6.7 to 7.5 seconds of refueling and you can tell that if you've ever seen a race in Indycar it's only one guy per wheel so the change will change goes much slower so there's 17 guys in Formula 1 doing the pit stop and there's only four five six six in Indycar so obviously pit stop are slower but you're waiting on the fuel so you actually don't really mind going as fast as you can on the tires I think yes I think I went through pretty much everything again don't forget to subscribe like ask me any questions maybe I forgot something that you really wanted to ask and I'll be more than happy to answer to your question so leave me a comment like the video subscribe to the
