I was surprised the F1 car didn't pip the motogp bike o the line. Then again motogp bikes are built for cornering not acceleration. All these vehicles are built to carry the speed round bends Red bull dragster??

[@noxious89123]

@@exup35 F1 cars are heavily reliant on downforce for grip. The very firm suspension also makes for very little weight transfer. Weight transfer onto the rear (driven) wheels is preferrable in a drag race. Motorcycles (in general, not even specific to GP bikes) have a tremendous amount of grip relative to their weight and power output. The problem with accelerating quickly on a very powerful motorcycle is trying to keep the front wheel on the ground so that you don't flip over backwards!

[@Snoopy2005uk]

I would have loved to see the f1 car with say a 60mph rolling start. Once that downforce has kicked in and he can go full throttle its game over.@@noxious89123

[@nutshot_brawler8466]

I was 100% expecting the bike to win, but damn, it caught me off-guard just how much quicker off the line the rally cars were compared to the F1 car

[@eckyx9019]

Indeed....I thought the F1 car would have eaten them..

[@vadimzubovich5537]

This is where the weight=downforce kick in. Plus the gear ratios on those cars are oriented at max acceleration as they don't have the chance to go up to 300 km/h on their tracks. But when it starts to get to max speed and the downforce from the spoilers starts working the F1 gets away fast. The bike was the obvious winner due to powet-to-weight ratio, but in corners and on braking they are MUCH slower. If you compare max speed and lap times on the same tracks for F-1 and MotoGP, max speed is always higher for bikes while the lap times are always better in F-1, so imagine how much more efficient F-1 cars are in corners compared to bikes if they manage to win while having lower top speed

[@franckbinard141]

​@@eckyx9019 f1 cars have a whole bunch of fia restrictions imposed on them. They must be a minimum weight, have a specific minimum width. They have to be 2-wheel driven, there are restrictions on fuel, chassis shape, engine, maximum downforce. There are limits on rpm, on power output, the engines have to be V6 hybrid (no v8), limits on fuel-flow rate, fuel-injection pressure, amount of fuel they can carry and about a million other limits - and the rules change practically every year, slowing the car down, while designers have to constantly find new ways to somehow get that speed back It's really much harder to make a fast f1 car that can be still be steered while following the fia rules than it is to make some vehicle that goes really fast.

[@tiansivive]

@@vadimzubovich5537 That's not the reason. In fact, the higher the speed, the more downforce an F1 car produces, which equals MORE drag, terrible for top speed. For a drag race, you want less downforce and more mechanical grip to get you off the line. That's why the rally cars are quicker, because they need the increased mechanical grip due to the road surfaces they have to deal with. And they're AWD, versus the F1's RWD. But the F1 is so much more powerful that as soon as it can put the power down, it'll quickly ramp up it's acceleration. Also worth noticing that this kinda track surface is much lower grip than normal for an F1, which is why it's really slow off the line here. As for the bike, well, that's just pure power to weight, nothing's beating that.

[@franckbinard141]

@@Roman-po8yc yeah, they could make the cars much faster, but they need the rules. If they didn't have them, Mercedes would always win, cause they would always have the more powerful engines. Renault couldn't compete. The problem now, is that there are so many rules, all the cars end up looking the same

Yes but it needs to have the right way to ride it & can put those wheels on the ground. Even a legend like Dani can't even ride it perfectly. You can see there that the bike was still doing wheelie & losing its traction. Equals to reducing it speed. When he raced the Nevera, the rear was massively wobbling that force him to reduce speed & confidence. It should be perfect. Anyway, you do know that Gp bike isn't setup yet to extract it's full power & torque or even mapped to it's necessary speed. Dani just let his riding dictates the outcome.. He just ride what KTM set coming from the manufacturer. ☝️

[@BadHaddy]

Dani is a very talented rider, a true professional. He's also about 100lbs, and had an absolute huge advantage in the straights compared to other motogp riders, to the point when he retired motogp used it as a factor in considering a weight combination rule. This whole thing played into his strengths quite well. On a prepped race surface the e-transit van and the f1 would have had the bike. Both were held back by traction since they cant weight shift like the bike, and had to accelerate their mass. If the F1 had traction control, there would also have been an interesting race.

It’s the bike and the rider together, and same for the other vehicles. Also, you have no idea what the gear ratio/acceleration of his bike is. Assuming it’s a cruiser (twice the weight half the power), 4x is not a terrible approximation. A new Goldwing 1800 has those weight/power figures and is about 3x less acceleration 0-100mph, and older versions could certainly be 4x. Also, probably would be about 4x less acceleration if going to Goldwing’s too speed. You clearly don’t ride enough nor do enough math to be this condescending.

It can’t be downplayed at how quick modern WRC cars are now. 10 years ago it would’ve been smoked by everything there, now it’s genuinely keeping pace with a Rallycross cars and an F1 car for a short distance. The runway surface doesn’t help the F1 car, but even so. Very quick.

[@devandrasimanjuntak1646]

it makes sense tho, rally stages mostly happen below 200 km/h (125 mph roughly) so the trick is acceleration and maintaining as close to 200 km/h in EVERY possible situation on public roads.

[@NothingXemnas]

There is also the misconception that Group B vehicles still beat WRC cars due to their higher power rating. That WAS true until roughly 2012-2015, when really extreme aero kits were allowed and the power cap was raised. By 2021, the technology on suspension, tires, engine, aero and materials had advanced so much that despite being capped at 380hp (compared to Group B's 500hp), WRC was beating those old cars by A LOT.

[@KulibobCZ]

Also the p208 WRX kept jumping the start like crazy. They are more equal, like in the first drag

[@luisvilleda4616]

There is a legend about a Group B Rally car that did a lap time at Estoril that could have made it mix with some Formula 1 cars

[@NothingXemnas]

@@luisvilleda4616 It could have been either a Lancia Delta S4 or an Audi Quattro S1 E2. Both at the peak of Group B in 1985 were speed monsters. However, that can be questionably true even today if you check the video; rally cars (WRC and Gr.B both) have AWD and short gearboxes (unlike F1's >300km/h speeds, rally cars are only expected to reach around 220km/h), so they have an insane acceleration at lower speeds. A 550hp Gr.B car could very well beat or match a 700hp F1 car of the same era if the track has enough corners (both cars also had similar aero in 1985).

[@user-yc2er6el1c]

Dani really had crazy adrenaline, going that fast without seatbelts.. The power to weight ratio on MotoGP bikes is absolutely INSANE!.

[@cmyers8907]

1.85 lbs for every 1 hp assuming a body weight of 150 lbs. Its crazy to think about but a bone stock gsxr10000r with a 150lbs rider would be at 2.98lbs/1hp and Anyone can buy one!
