The fastest speed achieved on a F1 racing track was set by Antônio Pizzonia of the BMW Williams Formula 1 team recorded a top speed of 369.9 km/h (229.8 mph) at the Monza track in Italy. The fastest speed within the IFA regulations was set at a top of 400 km/h (249 mph) on a one way run on 21 July 2006 at Bonneville Salt Flats. If you want the top speed ever achieved by an F1 car then it would be at a speed record of 413 km/h (257 mph) on a one way straight line run on 6 November 2005 during a shakedown ahead of BAR Honda's Bonneville 400 record attempt.
A Formula 1 car reaches approx 210mph during a race.
This top speed is limited by the large amount of downforce (2 tons) applied.
I have seen footage of a car doing 265mph.
about 244 mph it exceeds 230 mph because of the shape of the car making its aerodynamic skills awesome. For example a normal cars shape isn't very smooth making the speed limit less
The Formula 1 car can go up to 320 km/h, but it gains this speed in around 3,2 seconds.
