If you allowed ground effect tunnels, a massive low diffuser, active suspension and active skirt control with some seriously clever skirt designs plus a closed cockpit the cars could gain as much as 10 sec a lap, no questions asked because you could get double the downforce easily with no drag increase just by using optimal tunnels and wings, enclosing the wheels and cockpit and running active aero and suspension and so on.

For qualifying Barrichello had a 1m20.089 in 2004, compared to a 1m18.887 for Hamilton last year. For pure lap time, the modern cars are much quicker. Obviously the race lap times are a different story as today's cars don't have fuel stops and aren't replacing the power unit every race weekend so Barrichello's fastest race lap of 1m21.046 beats the 1m22.746 set in the race by Hamilton. Ofcourse give the 2004 car slick tyres and ultimate lap time might be closer. But at the same time if the F2004 needed to only run 3 engines a year and increase its weight to pass more stringent modern safety tests things would be significantly different so comparing across eras remains a nearly impossible task.

i actually tried this in assetto corsa with my friend who is a similar skill to mine and i drove the rss hybrid 2020 and he drove the f2004 and there was very little difference to me and him who was a little slower than me (the f2004 needed more fuel which punished him a lot in the first half of the race (20 laps at spa))

[@unfortunately_fortunate2000]

the F2004 with slotted slicks demands you be gentle and precise to extract the most performance out of them, but in the game or in real life. part of the reason we have normal slicks again is the cars are nowhere near as fast in the corners as the ones from this era, let alone in a straight line but, regardless of the tires a car that is fast down the straights is always going be that way.

[@JohnnyC01]

The 2004 cars were insanely fast. That's why they slowed them down. And that's why they switched from V10 to V8 ans later V6. Honda had over 1000 HP, BMW reving up to over 20k rpm. And the cars were perfectly designed for racing. The cars were going over 360 km/h. The record was 369 km/h I think.

Here after the announcement of Setsuna Yuki's new VA of Coco Hayashi. Man the F2004 imo still legendary even in 2023. Setsuna Yuki also love this car.

Holy shit never make your beard blonde again thats terrifying

Wow. Serious eye opener. All those tyrelimited "races" when they had the answer all along. Please Ferrari put Kimi in this with DRS for the next race with full audio! "Yeah it's ok- now shut up and leave me alone"

Proof that the turbo hybrid era is worse than the good old lighter V10s

[@MarcSob22]

Ferrari F12004 is the best F1 car ever made!! With slick tires in the Ferrari F1 client events , these cars are even faster than in-game!

[@jcsdczztta]

Papa gillon😂

[@noorazfaruddin467]

That what F1 needs. Simply pure racing pace, no electronic aids such as DRS, KERS, ERS, ABS, Traction Control, ESC, MGU-K, MGU-H, etc. F1 2004 was defining golden era of F1. Awesome.

[@theswedishchef5848]

funnily enough out of all those things you called electronic aids only two of them is an aid which is traction control and abs. The 2004 had TC so idk how it was defining "golden era F1" with such driver aids you condemned. Keep on displaying your ignorance :)

[@motorsportarchie6349]

I don’t think so

[@alexjrashman]

It’s shocking

[@broshido2745]

In real life it wouldn’t be like that i guarantee it, alonso tried his 2005 car on soft slicks and his best “qualifying” lap was 3.5s slower than todays cars, the 2005 cars were around 0.5s-1s slower than 2004 cars on average, alonso said he was pushing too

[@tareksweeting22]

he was pushing but that car wouldn't have been in quali trim and running at its maximum like it is capable of. but i agree no chance that the f2004 would ever be faster than this years mercedes

[@william.sherrington]

What if Ferrari ran the 2019 car but with the 2020 engine?

[@nicuiordachianu5394]

Don't you mean 2020 car with 2019 engine?

[@william.sherrington]

It means that it would've been legal this year (19' car 20' engine)

[@billylawuk]

The 2020 *car* was better than the 2019 *car* btw

[@william.sherrington]

@@billylawuk It's not possible to tell which car is better. The 2020 car traded plenty of speed on the straights for speed in the corners (higher downforce).

Ferrari must put this car with slicks,to race on next year.They probably will beat Mercedes

[@arkham3745]

Probably?

[@azzifyy5988]

I can officially tell you that you're wrong, Firstly because assuming they both have to follow the same rules the amount of fuel the F2004 would have to carry would be like 220 Litres, That nearly equals out the weight difference between the two cars, then lets look at lap times, the F2004 did a 1:45.5 at Spa in the race in low fuel, tyre degradation wasn't really a factor, the W11 did a 1:41.2 in qualifying, When they did the Barcelona slick tyre test in 2008 the cars gained 2 seconds from the slick tyres, that puts the F2004 around a 1:43.5, you're not going to gain 2 seconds from the small amount of race fuel the 2004 cars carried, last of all the F2004 was specifically made to run on Bridgestone tyres which have a completely different geometry to the current day Pirelli tyres.

[@JT29501]

You can see it's much much better though the slow corners because of the shorter wheelbase, and its SO much quicker off the start cos of the traction control. I'm pretty sure this is pretty realistic - an F2004 with slicks would probably beat todays cars. I do like the smaller sized F1 cars - obviously dirty air was still a huge problem back then, but at least they didnt take up half the track sometimes as the modern cars do. I am all for slowing the cars down a little though, taking some downforce off, if it improves the racing.
