The overall speed, cornering and ultimately lap time of a modern Formula 1 car is achieved many factors. The most significant are:
- Vehicle Weight:
Formula 1 Technical regulations for the upcoming 2010 season mandate vehicle weight to be a minimum of 620 Kg (up from 605 Kg in 2009), including the driver. In comparison, the average 4-door family vehicle weighs between 1200-1800 Kg. The low mass of an F1 car allow it to accelerate, corner and brake beyond the limits of a typical road going vehicle.
- Engine horsepower and torque:
Formula 1 Technical regulations limit all entries to a 2.4L V8 engine, limited to 18000 rpm. Current F1 cars produce between 700-780 hp.
- Aerodynamic efficiency:
As speeds increase beyond around 140km/h or 90mph, increase air flowing over, under, and through an F1 car's body creates aerodynamic downforce. Downforce gives an F1 the ability to corner at much higher speeds than typical road going vehicles.
the combination of light weight ( 620 kg in race trim ), power ( 950 bhp with the 3 .0 L V 10, 730 bhp ( 544 kW ) with the 2007 regulation 2. 4 L V8 ), aerodynamics , and ultra-high performance tyres is what gives the F 1 car its performance figures.
ti has a v10 engine that produces 600-900bhp and its aero dynamics help it to stick to the road and corner extremely well. also there is a system when they are on a straight the rear spoiler opens to let air through as they don't need down force there and down force creates drag which slows you down
Because a formula 1 car uses a different(and much more powerful) type of fuel than regular cars do.
