[@AvB.83]

They would have to pit every 4 laps or so and swap the batteries. As far as I know, recharging is pretty much out of the window, that's not an engineering challenge, it's just physically impossible. I guess if you build the car for it, swapping out the batteries in about the same time as you change the tires should be possible... it would be possible for road cars if the manufacturers could be bothered to agree on standardized battery sizes, you'd just pull up at the right spot at the fuel station, press a button, empty battery goes out, full one goes in. If they had done that, petrol/diesel engines would probably be done by now...

Top speed of IDR: approx 175mph, F1 car: just over 230mph. Cornering is faster with F1 car as well because of the weight. As far as actual lap time in the Nurburgring Nordschleife a F1 car would lap it in probably just over 5 minutes but the IDR, over 6 minutes.

The goodwood record is not anything spectacular considering that the previous record wss for a 2000s f1 car

[@theorange1729]

You do realize that those cars produced just about the same power as modern F1 cars with much less weight and size, right?

[@UnhingedMemescomp]

@@theorange1729 you do realise that modern f1 cars produce more than twice the downforce than 2000s f1 car, they have better chassis, better brakes, more straightline speed and etc

[@theorange1729]

@Pouya Sharifian Yeah, look up historic lap records for tracks, 2000s cars lapped just about as fast as modern cars. Today there are too many regulations limiting laptimes, you have to use a 1.6T V6 hybrid at a 15k max rev with limited fuel flow, you can't have a certain diffuser, you can't have a certain front wing... Don't expect Formula 1 to get faster as time passes.

[@UnhingedMemescomp]

@@theorange1729 what do you mean by 2000s cars being as quicks as modern f1 cars?? Last year they broke the monza lap record, 2017 they broke the japanese lal record, in 2018 they broke the belguim gp lap record and 919 evos lap record so dont say theyre the same cause they are not

[@lucas_sin_s]

THe ORange modern f1 cars produce more power than early 2000s f1 cars (~1000 to ~850), but most importantly a current f1 car has a lot more grip than the 2000s one, not only because of downforce, but because of wider ungrooved tires aswell (and the 2000s car was also using wet tires during this run i think)

[@kengrand5445]

Fast electric cars are like playing video games without volume...you can still play the game...but it wont be the same..... imagine going the same ridiculous speed while hearing a glorious V8, V10, or V12...it adds so much more to the experience

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Being “faster than F1” is not a huge accomplishment anymore. Indycars are faster than F1 on an oval track. A 2001 Honda Civic is faster than a F1 car in the city. Rally cars are faster than a F1 cars offroad.

[@GraveUypo]

what's more important, this isn't faster than f1. just because it beats it in one irrelevant metric doesn't mean it's faster. rallycross cars are even faster to 60 than this, doesn't make them faster than f1

[@chrisjensen9476]

Yeah these are made for real quick battery swaps. I vaguely remember a video of Volkswagen engineers talking about it and they mentioned they could change in about 2 minutes

[@Neojhun]

Circuit de la Sarthe is only 13.6km. Realistically a current cutting edge BEV can do about 15 Laps or just over 45 Minutes. Then it would need a battery swap using robotics that takes 5-10 Minutes. Not realy viable for a Endurance Race anytime soon. But you could have a wonderful Track Session even with current limited kwh capacity.

[@Neojhun]

@J B The expense it not a problem, a set of batteries enough for rotation maybe 3 sets. Also the battery machine and robotics. If scale into series production. Would be much less than the price of a Hypercar or Race Car. Because this level of cars soo Expensive without the Battery it's actualy economically viable.

The 2018/2019 F1 cars are significantly faster than the 919 evo, so saying that this is faster than an F1 car is beyond stupidity.

[@AKlover]

An EV would need multiple battery pack swaps at Le Mans. I suppose you could limit the total battery pack weight to a similar spec fuel weight, even then I doubt the EV would have enough lasting power. I doubt a solar panel top and braking energy recovery could make the difference either.

Lame comparisons in 2019: comparing full-bred race cars to 1 lap proto type. The latter never quicker nor faster. Go check out and compare energy density and do the math.

[@TekAutomatica]

No mention of temperature control which is as huge an issue for EVs as pack weight. Note how the IDR slowed down at end of Nurbuergring final straight. Anything below 15 deg C has an effet on Formula E packs. They like around 25 deg C. Anything above 60 deg C causes limp mode and above 64 Deg C shutdown to avoid thermal run away. Motors and Inverters also have temp limits.
