How Fast Can A Modern Formula 1 Overtake... EVERYTHING? (Farewell Video)

Hello, it's been a long time since we've seen each other for the last week. I've been wondering what type of

video

would be the best option to close this channel without info points because it took me a lot longer than it should have to figure out the

video

I already made. that we had in production was practically the perfect choice. We already did our lmp1 vs hypercar followed by a comparison video of f2004 vs

modern

formula

1 a few weeks ago. It really made me wonder that those types of races were a lot of fun to put together and I always felt like I learned a little. sort of, the actual pace of Formula One hasn't improved much in 17 years, more than anything, although it did make me wonder how much

fast

er a

modern

Formula One car is than any other class of car.

You might think about dealing with it in a somewhat convenient way, that's what we are here to find out today. I took the incredible RSS

formula

hybrid and compared it to 15 cars spanning a performance spectrum. This all takes place on a track that doesn't usually host f1s Road America, the reason for this, well, Lilsky's version of this track is absolutely stellar and frankly, I was looking forward to driving Road America in a car stupidly

fast

. Our test today concludes when we find out how many turns are needed. in a modern F1 car to lap each of our contenders at least once, which contenders you ask well, we have a classic boy from yesteryear, a boy from yesteryear, drifting, a timeless Italian fast boy, 80's German UFO guy, 90's classic rally guy, close up. enough for the guy in Earman's road car a burly gajira guy a kid from the nordschleife a guy old enough for Earman's road car a big-wallet English guy a small, timely guy an Italian are we fed up of this class still guy a screaming german gte guy a colorful gt4 guy and finally a lmp1 replacement guy how many laps does it take to pass each of these cars at least once, let's find out 16 cars, a formula one, how many laps will it take to give

everything

a spin at least once, let's find out what we're waiting for waiting for the green and let's go, make a good start with a little wheel spin lighting up the bracelet a little click at the start, we can see the whole grid of cars behind us immediately placing themselves in front of the hypercar we are already in front of So we are already making pretty good progress in overtaking all of these cars, even the mighty hypercar the lmp1 replacement still can't keep up with the modern F1, not even close , it seems that when we look behind there are only ants towards us.

Now, who barely had two laps and here we go out of sight, so the powerful Formula One hybrid we can barely see the hypercard looming from behind that barely makes it to the last corner, so it should be a very, very race. interesting. I am very curious to know what will be the first car we will laugh at and how soon we will laugh. Will it happen in one turn, one, a half and two? How slow are the slowest road cars we've chosen? I'm, I'm betting on the old man. I don't think one will survive too long with its 45 ample brake horsepower, something tells me compared to a Formula One car with a ton of downforce and horsepower in the several hundred range. it just may not survive very well without mentioning the hybrid engine in the uh drs of course we can't use directives we are actually hindered we are actually slowed down by road america it won't allow us to implement drs. on any of these straights, so we are actually losing a few seconds per lap, keep that in mind, as we hopefully start to close in on the first of our entrants.

Eventually we are one lap away and there is no shortage of things to say about this incredible car, such an incredible experience. Driving here, Road America, a classic road style with an American core, something that's not really built for a car like this in any meaningful way, also has some very strange brakes, but if it works, it works as we whiz by. I have to say yes. I feel like something is missing, I still miss that v10 bug of the engines screaming, I mean whether they're faster or not, they sound like they're faster and really half the time that's what matters more than anything when you're watching a television broadcast while we Push down, well, we're already a lap and a half.

We're halfway through lap two, as you can see on the top left, there's no one in sight so far, so it looks like they've had a pretty good race. I think it's the cure. I'm curious. Yes, yes, we have a shot in the front and yes, it's the old days before we pass. Goodbye, old man, he made it halfway through his lap before the Formula One car passed him. lap and a half in time for him to do a half lap, which means we're probably going to lap that car at least once a lap from now on, so are we going to have anyone else on this lap?

I'm really curious if you downshift quickly. I'm being conservative, fast but conservative, I don't drive it too close to the edge. I don't want any clicking mid-corner. They are not very good cars to take snaps at, given that they have abs and not tc, you definitely don't. I want to lose control and I think I saw something in the final stretch, there yes, we have another candidate, yes, it's an old Nippon drifty boy, bye, hachi roku, it's been fun, I almost almost caught him in one lap, I think. He may have just crossed the starting line when we caught him, so we're on lap three.

Now it's heading down, who's the next taker? I'm very curious to know what I see, a blue dot, I see a blue dot in the distance and my ego. it's trashed, I think it's Earman's old road car, I mean look, it sounds faster than it is, it's like a massive click on the exit, intimidated by that beautiful flat-four boxer engine as we race towards the middle from turn four here. as we get closer yeah a 90's rally boy bye bye seleka classic car part of my childhood and of course it's of course it's Herman's second road car mine boy is a little lighter than that, ah, that's depressing, isn't it?

We are getting to the real trains now we have a ktm crossbow we have the gt4 all held by gajira and completely taken in size from the inside by r35 and we have something else we have a classic yes we have a a timeless italian boy, an f40 and as As we approach the home stretch, a GT3 RS, aka the Nordschleife, might feel at home there, but maybe not so much here at Road America, so that's a pretty healthy list of takers, I think we have at the Al At least I slapped every car, at least half of the cars on the grid once, if not more, and now I'm getting fast.

I feel like this is where most of the cars are going to be bunched up and oh my gosh it's the Second Laugh, yes it is, it's the second lap here of the old man. You can barely see it, that's dangerous. Gives you an idea of ​​what it might have been like for GT3s to run the Darchia in the last N24 Nurburgring race. Very scary wrapper. around from the outside and yes, we have a car in the distance, what is it? Yes, it is the class that will not be named the most famous, much to our dismay, class in all of simracing, may it end someday, may it end, may we go.

We get back to driving things that are really fun at some point, like the thing in front of me, the 991 rsr, aka the shouty german boy gte, my favorite gt class, now obsolete, sadly, to be replaced by even more gt3, hooray, as we are about to cross towards the finish line. line one more time and there we go, now we're on lap five moving forward and yes, we're about to laugh at Dripsy Boy once again. We have what appears to be a German UFO child. Yes, we turn outside and No, we are pushed off the curb, off the run, into the dirt, we manage to hold on without tc, naughty boy, absolutely naughty boy, as we approach a big wallet boy from the UK , he can really keep up with us here on the straights.

It's pretty impressive, but not so much in the braking zone. It's pretty predictable for an F1 to

overtake

it as we go, but very, very impressive performance on the straights. There's a great engine in that mclaren p1 as we move forward and see what's next. We have crossed over, we have gone to a group C car, now we have gone to hypercar, I mean we really are the big takers, now those cars actually drove even faster than the gt3 and the gte, incredibly, you turn it around that. big right hander, it's almost all full speed in the F1 car, almost just a bit of elevation, completely flat of course, and a more direct course, this and then the road cars, I imagine it would be similar in The independent cars brake hard here as we go down a reasonably good run and approach, oh no, Herman's road car for the third time and the old, God knows how many times now, we go down some decently wide lines and no No Pay attention to that, there definitely wasn't a wheel coming out of the grass when we finished our fifth lap and moved on to lap six.

Are we going to do it on lap six? I think my memory tells me that we have one more. car to overcome here we have surpassed almost all the most sensible ones, we may have a mobile with hyperaerodynamic loading waiting for us but, unfortunately, I can't see anything, no, nothing, but we have a point on the horizon. I'm curious. Which is probably the 90s rally guy, I guess so, that thunderous sound, so the 90s rally guy holds up reasonably well given this is the best looking asphalt circuit, seleka , there's also a lot of noise when we pass the guy in Earman's road car.

For the second time, I'd like to think the lighter m2 would have performed a little better than the m4, but you know, we'll never know. We return to the train, the train that still exists, supported by the computer as we go. and let's not hit the gt4 and get back on the track, what a crazy race, we just ran out of room on the outside, they almost picked up the gt4. I can see why the r35 is causing us a bit of trouble here as it races quickly towards the conclusion of lap number six as we go, I don't see any cars approaching the end, ah, there may be something, there may be something, yes, it's the old, classic, Italian, timeless F40, the supercar, the supercars as we brush past it. like it's nothing in our modern F1 on lap seven starting lap seven now I think I just caught a glimpse of something at the front okay we've got the Nordschleife guy once again man I can see why people He likes those cars. it held up very well yes, that is a car elongated in the front that looks like a prototype to me hello, it is, yes, it is, this is the hypercar, are we going to pass it?

We're on lap number six right now, maybe six and a half lap how long will it take how long will it take to close the gap will I get it before the next corner it just doesn't have the exit of the corner does it do it if we go on the inside no it doesn't has done He didn't block me, oh, and they push him out and yeah, we make him hit, he couldn't hold it and there go all my hits on the exit, behind the car behind me, don't get too excited, buddy. If you think you've lost this race, you pass the old man one last time and now you're going to finish lap number seven and that's it, that's six and a half laps to pass one of almost anything that runs these days.

Hyper Car, the fastest prototype, racing and the world endurance championship today. I'm sure we could have compared it to some older EFs, but God knows how long we would have been around to assume, especially, how much weight the current A1s have actually gained. the fact that the f-2004 wasn't really that much slower and don't look I definitely didn't go very wide there as we went down the stretch one last time to finish six and a half laps to pass one. Anyway, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, there's our answer, well, it was a lot of fun.

I can't imagine a better way to sign off from this channel than to take the pinnacle of motorsport and place it alongside every class of car we know and Love, I want to thank you all for being a part of this crazy journey with me. I never in a million years thought we could build a channel from nothing to 40,000+ subscribers in such a niche scene in a year and a half as mentioned in my community post a week ago. Now I'm putting this channel on indefinite pause, don't worry because the channel itself isn't going anywhere. You'll still be able to find all the old videos you know and, hopefully, love.

There are simply no plans. To add more sim racing content to it for the foreseeable future, this doesn't necessarily mean it's goodbye forever, just that I need an extended break to get back to other somewhat important and much overlooked parts of my life. It feels strange to ask you to do it. subscribe to a channel that is on pause, but it's legitimately the best way to get notified in case itcan I ever get back to it and let's start again from where we left off. Your support over the last year and a half has been incredible and I'm glad we were able to share both our love and criticism of simracing until next time, whenever that may be.

I hope you have a good time, continue to focus on the positive aspects of simracing and I'll see you all later.
