Back in 2021 a Formula One car ran at Le Mans - with Fernando Alonso driving.
I wanted to know more, so I went to Alpine to speak with the project lead on this event.
And I wanted to know if Fernando Alonso was really pushing, how they adapted the car for such an unusually long and fast circuit, and what was the lap time-would it be quicker than LMP1s or Hypercars?
Well, that team shared the lap time data with me - and it’s fascinating.
Now, you might expect that this was just a demonstration run, one to please the 300,000 spectators at Le Mans.
But in fact, the team were very well prepared - they’d run many simulations and had engineered the car to be as fast as possible on this incredible circuit.
And Le Mans is no normal circuit - it’s almost eight and a half miles long. But, the biggest difference is just how many long straights it has.

Because Fernando is faster than you

[@inno-v8-ion165]

@@mram7571ALL THE TIME you have to leave it, the space

[@Murzac]

Le Mans despite being 13 kilometers long still only has 3 sectors. First goes up to Tetre Rouge, second is the entire Mulsanne straight, and third is from Mulsanne corner to the end. Alonso started his lap from the pits so the first sector isn't comparable. He encountered the traffic when entering the porche curves so about halfway down the 3rd sector. So he would have only gotten a single proper sector time for the lap, and that happens to be the Mulsanne straight. Realistically the only information you'll get from that is whether an F1 car is faster than a Le Mans Hypercar on a straight line. That being said, if you go look at the video of Alonso doing the lap, he goes from Tetre rouge to Mulsanne corner in about 1 minute and 20 seconds. In Le Mans 2024 qualification and hyperpole the fastest sector 2 times appear to be around 1 minute 19 seconds and change. So in a straight line his lap time was pretty much exactly the same as a Le Mans Hypercar.

[@wholespeed]

[@queden1841]

The fact that they wrote all of that complex simulation software which 'just' gives them a base setup is astounding

[@cannotchangeforfourteendays]

I think it's because it still is drastically not only cheaper, but also safer to do that. Those things cost money and F1 if anything is the greatest motorsport at development. Sims is one of the reasons why. Extensive research that goes into development of the car is something next level and, considering it is for ONE particular track, it's even more surprising.

[@samzygielbaum1663]

Cool video, but fyi "terminal velocity" is not a synonym of "top speed" (of a car, a runner, etc). "Terminal velocity" is a term specific to Fluid Dynamics, referring to the highest speed an object will achieve when FALLING (ie unassisted by a source of propulsion) through a fluid/gaseous medium, usually referring to air (ie, a sky diver's highest speed, or anything else falling through the air), limited by the air's inability to get out of the way any faster. A car pushing itself through the air can be limited by either engine power (pushing the air out of the way), or gear ratio, or running out of room on a straightaway. "Top speed" covers those conditions.

[@102ndsmirnov7]

A car can also be limited by its terminal velocity at some point but I don't know if any car has achieved that.

[@noobarium]

FWIW - LMP1 (1 min 45 sec) is 13 sec/lap slower than F1 car (1 min 32 sec) at COTA (3.4 mi/5.5 km). Indy car has lap time (1 min 46 sec). All are qualifying times.

[@SpencerMusic880]

and a 24 hour race at Le Mans including that F1 car would have them looking at GT car tail lights after 10 laps.

[@snakebitten6967]

@@SpencerMusic880why would you say that? Sub 3 minute laps would put them way ahead of even LMP1 cars in 10 laps. They would box and be out in front of them the whole race.

@@snakebitten6967 Well, that simulated sub 3 lap was a 'perfect computer lap' and not a driven lap so I'm more than a bit skeptical if that was a real world achievable time. Even if it were an actual possibility it would be more of a qualifying hot lap than a race lap. In Grand Prixes there's a 7-10 second difference between pole qualifying lap and the race's fastest lap. Fuel load, set up,... the difference between getting the fastest lap possible and the fastest consecutive 50 laps possible are very different, much less 24 hours of laps. 2018 cars were faster than 2023/24 cars. Some of that do doubt was on the corners but the fastest achieved speeds have also gone from around 130 mph to around the mid 120s. It would be interesting to see this with an Indycar which while much slower in the corners and acceleration/deceleration do have around 10-15 mph faster top speed with an oval set up.

FOR EVERYONE WANTING TO KNOW WHAT TIME DID HE SET, HE DIDN’T. THAT’S THE SUM UP OF THIS VIDEO 11:13

[@thatdudevid]

if theres DRS available everywhere why not have a very big wing to go faster through corners but still be very fast on straights with DRS

[@paddyg4377]

Coz you want the front wing to be trimmed for low drag as well and a big rear wing would mess up the balance too much.

[@maxmustermann4141]

it would still mean more drag at the straights and with 92 % flat out would probably cost more time than what you d save in the corners.

[@vr6one]

Because a wing regardless of size, still creates drag. Having a large wing with DRS is going to be slower than a smaller wing with DRS. The straights on Le Mans are far more important than the 5 or so slow corners.

[@evguenicht4664]

because DRS don't remove all the drag of the rear wing due to regulation, the opening is limited to 8 cm or 3.15 inches no more and if you want them to allow a larger opening then it's no longer a F1 car.

[@K3b1bisLtu]

Even with drs, the wing produces drag, and a bigger wing would ruin the aero balance of the car.

[@filipMmM]

So this is a video about ... What? No actual lap time of F1 car?

[@Dario__]

The way the team saved a LOT of trial and error costs with computer runing multiple laps with current f1 car stats on the circuit to find the perfect "macro" and then get the driver to mimic as close as possible to the machine precision without the need to drive the actual car its soo clever. Thats a perfect representation of how can technology is helping us solving "real life puzzles" faster and more efficiently!

[@domepugliese]

​@barath4545 well, that would be one hell of a challenge: 919 Evo is based on an LMP1, a way more complex and faster car overall... even a "standard" 919 would probably be considerably faster than a 499p Modificata so yeah, not a realistic thing at all imo lol

[@theasanchez96]

Just to note, when the engineers talking about low sensitvity at around 4:00, I think he might be talking about sensitivty analysis rather than the handling sensitivity. Meaning in their simulations if there are two different set up optinons that give similar lap times they'll let the drives try both set ups to see which they prefer.

But, as last year's 'pretend' NASCAR showed ('cause let's remember, it was quite some distance from a genuine NASCAR), being able to do a single fast lap is one thing, but doing it over an entire tank of gas (let alone over 24 hours), is COMPLETELY different. An interesting exercise? Sure. But, even IF an F1 team could build an engine that would last 24 hours (and let's remember, Alpine couldn't achieve that with their Hypercar this year), I doubt very much that the car would beat an LMP1 (or even a Hypercar) over the race distance.

[@caillanan]

40 laps? You realize that a lap at Sarthe is nearly twice as long as Spa right? They'd be doing 23 maybe 24 per fuel stint if they're doing fuel saving. All of that is also ignoring tire life.

Terminal velocity refers to free falling objects through a resistance medium, so sorry to be the nerd but you are using it incorrectly. While the terms speed and velocity are often used interchangeably to explain how fast an object is moving, in scientific terms they are different. Speed, the scalar magnitude of velocity, denotes only how fast an object is moving, while velocity indicates both an object's speed and direction. Terminal velocity is something very specific and different entirely.

I would not even try. It seems like "breaking" F1 apart, and many things are just "wrong." You would modify chassis, aero, power, and tires-nothing optimized. It is like watching Baja cars on Goodwood Road. It is fun, looks like me in a weightlifting challenge.

Por qué si el vídeo está en español hablas de Millas

Do I have the pic's og sim? Would u mind sharing them I'm use curious

[@ignacioarellano1834]

A full video of this on the car camera please

[@mktm1290]

Ffs what a massive disappointment that was! Save 10mins of your life, the f1 didn’t do a fast lap so all theoretical

[@joseluiscostoya7265]

No se si es por la traducción se entiende poco, todo parece mezclado, pasa de un tema a otro sin sentido. Una lástima...

[@ulrichsuter3548]

Great video! It would be interesting to see how well the 919 Evo would do here. If I remember correctly, the Evo was about 11% faster in Spa and about 12% faster on the Nordschleife. While F1 did beat the 919 Evo time in Spa later on, Le Mans has a different setup and once the Evo could get better tires and wheels as well as a better overall preparation I would put my money on the Evo...

[@LarsAgerbk]

so they failed to do a flying lap because they ended up in traffic? Why didn't they just do another lap then?

[@lasarith2]

This is with Alpine , imagine it with Red bull , Ferrari or McLaren , if they extended it to 24 laps (327.024 km ) ~ homage to 24. Hours .

[@hannDreistZett]

This is the most UNDERWHELMING video conclusion ever and a big Clickbait. What a waste, bro. Please don't!

[@oskar6661]

Not terribly impressive. F1 cars are "fast", but so was the 919 when Porsche took the "gloves off", etc. (which would be a far more apt comparison - did it ever do an unrestricte LeMans lap?) F1 cars barely carry any fuel, kill their tires in 3-4 laps and break parts if you glance at them sideways.

[@pratyushpattanaik716]

it was hulkenberg and ocon in 2018 so the highest speed would be 357 in 2018, you took fernandos speed who was at mclaren in 2018

[@mushter17]

The fastest lap of Le Mans is actually Kamui Kobayashi at a 3:14.791 but that was in qualifying. Its still the official lap record though AFAIK unless they've lightly changed some corner layouts that reset the records?

[@EricFB]

All that work just to put the car out on track with traffic? What a damn waste of resources.

[@frederickpikovsky3586]

Summary of the entire video here: They never completed a full hot lap. From data gathered, the F1 car should have beat the current LMP1 world record of 3:17 with a sub 3:00 lap (…hypothetically). The end. Your welcome.

[@TheTripol]

Sub 3 min, it's going to be faster than LMP 1 even despite the long straights, of course the porches unregulated car would be faster cuz so many straights, but the 2018 renault is heavy regulated (apart from allowed to have drs open all the time)

[@marcioferraz5282]

Whatched for nothing! Where is Alonso's lap?!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JoSebMor]
