A RACE between Alonso's Champion F1 CARS

[@josevillarroel7630]

The last V10 champion car and the first V8 champion.

[@arbazann]

Kinda, if you don't count all the previous V8's.

[@josevillarroel7630]

@arbazann what all previous v8?

[@minecraftveteran7410]

@@josevillarroel7630 Here is an example: In 1994, some cars like Benneton were running with 3.5L V8s.

[@josevillarroel7630]

@minecraftveteran7410 some cars. The true V8 era starts in 2006, because all cars used V8 but Toro Rosso (V10 LPM limited).

[@GoldDinosaur]

this is so wrong the first V8 champion car was the 1956 Ferrari D50, which Fangio used to win the title

[@minecraftveteran7410]

Early V8s were pretty quick. Kimi's McLaren in 2006 was just a mere 3 tenths slower than JPM's pole lap in 2005, at Monza, with much less power. Imagine what they would have been with further chassis and engine development.

[@1010thechamp]

Yes 2006 first V8s were not rev limited like from 2007 onwards and of course the engine freeze, with all that and draggy Redbull chassis from 2010-2013 Redbull had the slowest straightline F1 cars for the past 40 years.

[@MEGATBLAZER]

@@1010thechamp 2007 still were pretty loud, which makes me think they still had no rev limits.

[@1010thechamp]

@MEGATBLAZER No 2007 was the year when they first introduced the rev limiter at 19k rpm, the following year the dropped it to 18k rpm, and with an engine freeze introduced, these NA V8s needs revs to make power and in 2006 the very first year they were quite impressive reaching 20k rpm and already at those high revs over 800hp.

[@MEGATBLAZER]

@@1010thechamp 19K is still pretty good, they were way more limited after 2008 with 18K and I'd dare to say they reached lower revs later on.

[@1010thechamp]

@@MEGATBLAZER 19k isn't bad, but it doesn't leave scope for more power and also top speed as they don't have the torque for longer gears to optimise the acceleration, but yes 18k was awful, locked to around 315kph with DRS open was horrible to see.

[@mewtwo.150]

Interesting how close are each to another even if the engine is different 😮

[@gmasterdaone]

The only thing that gives away is the side pods

[@STREET24000]

Ah, yes the VRC Renault R25 vs The Race Project’s “rework” of ACFL’s Renault R26.

[@Ilovecars-wd6xu]

It’s near perfection, the only thing that holds back are the slicks

[@geuros]

Well... This seems a bit weird. At some moments the V8 seems to have both more power and grip, then suddenly the V10 turned into a grip monster and overtook the V8 where nobody expected it could even happen... In reality the V10 would be gone after the first straight

[@Hanshan5]

Yeah i realized that in some other Videos of this creator. I guess it is mostly staged.

[@1010thechamp]

@@geuros The R25 with it's great launch and the power would have im reality overpowered and outdragged the R26 V8 at the start and into turn one EASILY then it was race over doesn't matter how much the R26 had the advantage in the corners.

[@maxdegraaf1333]

Just what i wanted to say

[@gabrielcaresdeoliveira1798]

It's funny to know that Alonso's 2 Renaults are practically the same car, the only difference is the engine, one is V10 and the other is V8, and the year, but the paintwork and other things are the same.

[@epygames]

Different rear wings also

[@MEGATBLAZER]

The R26 was just an improved, upgraded version of the R25 after all.

[@f1virtualfilms]

They are actually very similar but both have small differences in paintwork and chassis.

[@AMFRacingCommunity]

nice video m8

[@f1virtualfilms]

Thanks

[@DamarFadlan25]

I ever used the R26 2005 and R25 2004 on GRID LEGENDS.

[@wahyuhariantono8200]

does the R26 include the mass damper?

[@fahribulbul7613]

Link ? Both plase

[@Evolution_BR811]

Eu sou o único que estava torcendo pelo V8? Os V8 de 2006 são os meus motores favoritos da F1 pois giram a 20000 rpm 😅

[@marcozanicotti2631]

Mas o ronco desses V10 que giravam 18.000 rpm é inigualável, para bater de frente só mesmo a Ferrari 412T2, o último V12 do time, que girava 14.000 rpm.

[@Evolution_BR811]

@@marcozanicotti2631 os 3 são lindos, mas os V8 são especiais pra mim por serem os mais nostálgicos. Esses sem limites de rotação são um show a parte, bem subestimados no quesito ronco

[@emilekaram6094]

Which one was better??

[@f1virtualfilms]

Just watch the video and you'll find out

[@emilekaram6094]

@f1virtualfilms This video is not accurate 100% and not the answer to my question, I meant in reality

[@williamfernetducharme]

R26 is definitely my favorite. Even if 2005 was one of the fastest years for F1 cars and it was the last year of the V10.

[@sametozkan9175]

Only Michellin Champion

[@makitrooda]

no

[@davibento1994]

Wait a minute... R25 has only 6 gears?!?! Lol i dont knew it

[@williamfernetducharme]

It definitely has 7. Last time cars had 6 gears were the less competitive cars from the early 2000's.

[@davibento1994]

@williamfernetducharme okok thanks😅

[@svenzerx8490]

@@williamfernetducharme the R25 infact had 6 gears

[@williamfernetducharme]

@svenzerx8490 No way. I don't believe it.
