    For reference the Olympic Marathon record's average speed is a little over 20kph.

      The Patent-Motorwagen didn't have reverse, so if it's available in this modded car it's essentially a cheat to back up the hill. Might as well just give it 300 horsepower while you're at it. The car used a belt that you kinda pushed from an idler to the crank to vary how much power made it to the rear axle.

      If you add the cars you "can not" use to your favourites and add a car next to it you can use, you can trick the game into using it. That's what I always did. I did race these cars in gt4 in splitscreen a lot. (You can race litterally any car in the game. Jay leno tank car, t-ford, patent motorwagen, that nike car) you can even use this glitch to use special colors in arcade mode.

      Horses actually develop a max of 15-25hp. Given that marathon runners can do a half marathon in about an hour, and they average 0.5hp over the race. You'd probably expect a horse to complete the race in around 40 mins or so.

    @mschoenert 2 роки тому

    I think it is interesting to relate this to cycling!
    There is a "Rad am Ring" event every year (except the last two years), where several thousand non-professional cyclists race around the Nordschleife. There are several events: 75 km (three laps), 150 km (six laps), 24 hours (for teams, though some teams consist of just one rider), etc.
    The speed going down is comparable (80 km/h and more). But uphill most cyclists are quite a bit faster. Which is not surprising, since this thing has a ratio of about 1.6 Watts / kg (0.75 PS = 550 Watts, 265 kg + fuel + driver). While most cyclists have a ratio about double that.
    So most cyclists will complete the (slightly longer) 25 km lap in under an hour. Afaik the fastest lap time was ~35 minutes on a bike. Which is pretty crazy.
