    But how do they stack up? Which would win in a Quarter Mile drag race? Or a Top Speed run? But the biggest question I have is which would win in a race around a circuit?
    Well, we’ve done some calculations to find out.

    Well firstly, we should run through the cars.
    Starting with Formula 1, our benchmark for this test. These cars have just over 1000 horsepower and weigh around 800kg in race trim. But as we know, they are tuned for maximum corner speed, with lots of downforce - and so this may hinder it in a straight line but pay dividends around a lap.
    Next is Formula 2, very similar in weight, less aero and less power with around 820 horsepower.
    Then we have it’s baby brother, F3. This has less power, but much less weight.

    Also remember for top speeds they reach, the motogp bike would have the lowest corner speed before any straight where you measure the speed, meaning its actually accelerating from a much lower speed, it has more work to do down the straight, if you could somehow exit the corner at the same speeds as the cars the top speed could be even higher!

      A Rallycross car does 0-100 in just under 2 seconds. Roughly the same as an LMP1 (Hyper Car). A Rallycross' top speed is about 125mph/200kph which makes it the slowest of the lot.

    The lap record of an LMP1 car (referred here as Hypercar) is 1:41.7. However, this record was not set during a race weekend but was part of the Porsche 919 evo's tribute series and was set in August 2018

      It's crazy what they do with so little rubber.
      F1 tires are 720mm in diameter and 305mm wide in front and 405mm in rear.
      MotoGP uses a 120mm wide by 600mm diameter for the front, and 200mm by 690mm rear.
      So by comparison, for acceleration, motogp has less than 1/4 the width of the F1 car, and on top of that, the tire is curved, so they cant even use the full width at any given time.
      For cornering, the front tires are 1/5 the width, and smaller diameter.
      Its bonkers that MotoGP makes the times that they do. And dont sleep on WSBK. It might not be as prestigious, but their lap times are shockingly close to motoGP, only a few seconds a lap, lap records at Losail are 1:54.3 for motoGP vs 1:56.6 for WSBK. In a race, of course that's a ton of time, but consider its prototype vs homologation and it's insane.
      By comparison, (I'm looking at 2018 LaSarth) GTE cars were running more than 30 seconds slower than the LMP1 times of 3:15 per lap.

    Good video. Might want to re check nascar top speeds they’ve been artificially limited seeing how the fastest lap was registered by Bill Elliot in the 80’s.
    There are rumors former nascar greats Rusty Wallace & Jeff Gordon at separate times had the restrictor plates removed and took off around Talledega and clocked average lap speeds above 230mph. The problem with those speeds come when you put 40 other cars out there at once, it’s no longer driver safety that’s the concern. The ability of the catch fence, safer barrier protecting the crowds is the concern.
    Watch the near future, with nascar viewing dwindling, they’ve began doing things they never would’ve 10 years ago(see dirt track @ Bristol) we may get a restrictor plate free race at Daytona or Talledega with average lap speeds above 230mph with twice the weight & half the tires.

    My question actually is are they looking at the 550 or the 750 HP package. It makes a large difference as to how the car would perform at the track. Also, NASCAR runs tapered spacers to get them down to either HP. A true test would be without either of these. NASCAR cars without a tapered spacer can pull almost 900 HP, which gets them into comparable situations to LMP3 cars.

    I recently watched the ending of a brilliant MotoGP race. The Ducati rider in 2nd and on the final lap intentionally took the last sharp turn slow. He wanted the leader to get a bigger lead. He knew his bike was faster in the remaining long straight away. He didn't want to be in first and allow drafting. It was very close but indeed he won it. Pretty impressive I'd say.

    MotoGP produce in excess of 300bhp currently. Their current top speed record is 362.4kmph at Losail, Qatar. And this was achieved with wings for down force. Yes, they do have aerodynamic winglets. If they raced at a track like Monza, they would easily exceed 370kmph.
