Formula 1 cars
Hey, does anyone know what F1 cars rev to? I looked all over for a good site, does anyone know of a good one that has a bunch of specs on those cars?

Re: Formula 1 cars
all i know is that they go 18 thousand rpms.and they dont last long.

Re: Formula 1 cars
f1 cars are the ----. 18g's? i think more like 14. they are squared v6 twin turbines with like 2.5l of displacement. ------- beautiful

Re: Formula 1 cars
there was a video posted a while back of renault doing testing on an f1 motor, had it on a load dyno ripping it thru gears and ----, 19000rpms... and shooting beautiful blue flames out the tail the whole time.
also had some sort of weird open plenum intake, where there were just holes on the top of the intake mani and injectors sprayed down into the general direction of the holes, you could just watch it suck the fuel right in. |

Re: Formula 1 cars
I thought F1 motors were limited to 3L, v-10, about 18K revs. The injectors at the opening of the bellmouth allow the fuel a more direct shot into the cylinder.

Re: Formula 1 cars

Re: Formula 1 cars
Yeah, so with 10 seconds on Google I found this great site called www.formula1.com which provided some useful information (btw, that was 50% sarcasm, %50 synicism and %50 seriousness ;))

Engine power outputs in Formula One racing are also a fascinating insight into how far the sport has moved on. In the 1950s Formula One cars were managing specific power outputs of around 100 bhp / litre (about what a modern 'performance' road car can manage now). That figure rose steadily until the arrival of the 'turbo age' of 1.5 litre turbo engines, some of which were producing anything up to 750 bhp/litre. Then, once the sport returned to normal aspiration in 1989 that figure fell back, before steadily rising again. The 'power battle' of the last few years has seen outputs creeping back towards the 1000 bhp barrier, some teams producing more that 300 bhp / litre from the current generation of 3 litre engines.
Revving to over 18,000 RPM a modern Formula One engine will consume a phenomenal 650 litres of air every second, with race fuel consumption typically around the 75 l/100 km (4 mpg) mark. Revving at such massive speeds equates to an accelerative force on the pistons of nearly 9000 times gravity. Unsuprisingly, engine failure remains one of the most common causes or retirement in races. |

yeah, i dont know

Re: Formula 1 cars
f1 is the best racing right next to wrc
they have soo many new rules this year like you have to keep the same tires the whole race and you have to keep the same motor for 2 races including qualifing unless you have to retire than you can have a new motor there are a bunch more rules but i dont know all of them |
Re: Formula 1 cars
Formula 1 is getting suckier every day.
They should string that fucker bernie ecclestone in between these 2 lovechilds of him, the ferrari's and do a little tug o war. After that michael can ---- bernie's dead broken skull to his liking. |
Re: Formula 1 cars
Formula 1 engines today are na engines, 2.5 liters in capacity, rev between 18k - 19k and have about 850 hp.

Re: Formula 1 cars
The dutchmans right, NA 2.5l V10s. New this year, the engines have to last 2 race weekends. BAR/Honda last year was testing with 20k rev and 1000bhp when 2 weekend rule was announced. I've heard they now have the 2 weekend 1000bhp, 20k rev reliable enough for 2 weekends but now they are prob going to announce 2l v8 for next year to bring the power down again.

Re: Formula 1 cars
restrictions are lame, but it does help push new developements. Picture how much power these guys would push if they were still allowed turbos... 2.5 l quad turbo v-10s at 20k rpms, ::) , they have almost too much power now, double it and the speed won't be manageable by humans... :D

Re: Formula 1 cars
they have insane power in such a light car. The ones that were 1.5L and making 1500hp was made with 75 psi boost and running straight toluene and xylene etc... scary. They spin alot of these motor well over 18k like you guys were saying, but i dont think the mean piston speed would be astronomically higher than say, an S2k, because its all in the rod /stroke ratio. If they didnt have such short stroke they wouldnt last 1/10 the time that they already do (or dont)
