[@michaelmiller2210]

even if you got the entire car for free you'd still be too poor to drive it. that's a reason you can't drive it. reasoning: 1. not street legal, so you need to get it on a track. no track is going to let an f1 car on their track with all the other cars. you're gonna need to rent the track out for the day. that's $5,000 right there. you'll probably need track day insurance too. That can be up to $10,000 for a single day for a car like f1. 2. fuel is expensive. f1 cars get 6 miles per gallon, have 18 gallon tanks, and according to an aston martin chief a full tank costs $3,500. on average you'll probably use 2 to 3 tanks of gas in a day. that's ~$8,750 3. f1 mechanics and engineers. you'll need them if you want to not die because your tires explode or your brakes fail. if you think you can monitor all of the car's components that could potentially fail, and then figure out how to actually replace them, this step is optional, although you'll probably end up spending a couple grand on specific tools needed for working on f1 cars anyway. expect to pay $5,000. All in all that's $28,750 for a single day, if you got the entire car for free. And that's only if everything goes well. If anything breaks you're cooked even more.

Bro, they have those reaction times because of training. If you, with a 2-second reaction time, start training today, you’d improve significantly-maybe faster than them, maybe not. However, it’s unrealistic to compare a pro in something to someone with zero days of training in that field. The same goes for G-force-it’s trainable. Heart rate isn’t an issue for most humans. The main deciding factor is whether you have the resources to finance this sport. End of story. Don’t overcomplicate it.

[@forza3943]

Great, you can now avoid being injured from pressing the gas and avoiding other cars. You seem to forget that there is a whole art and science behind the actual racing itself😂 Dont comment if you dont know jack shit

[@KingpinsMindset]

@forza3943 I actually know quite a lot about this. I’ve participated in unofficial go-kart races, which are very similar-just with smaller/slower machines. You don’t get injured from pressing the gas, you get sore forearms, no matter how fit you are (I’m shredded, and I felt it too). The art and science of improving in racing is entirely trainable. With a coach, you’ll most likely progress faster, but if you’re highly analytical, you can figure it out on your own. If someone sets a faster lap than you, analyze their route, compare it to yours, and adjust for improvement. Believe it or not, racing video games are excellent training tools (especially Gran Turismo, the "fastest time" challenges). They act as real-life simulators, and this has been proven time and again-it's factual. Personally, I’ve experienced the benefit of it, too, as I've set multiple fastest daily laps with only gaming experience as my foundation, and I went to like, 5-6 sessions in total of go-kart. So yes, I do know "jack shit" about what I’m talking about. EVERYTHING is trainable. The ones who say the opposite are just making an excuse. The only issue with formulas is the financial issue. You certainly can improve finances and join formula races, but this is best done while you're young, and for this you almost always need help from parents.

[@forza3943]

@@KingpinsMindset "Unofficial go-kart races" as in rental karts? Those dont go fast at all, of course they wont injure you because of acceleration/braking, i meant Formula one cars that reach forces of 6+ Gs when braking and turning. Karting was a hobby of mine when i was younger, i went to karting camps and lessons, and the financial part is for sure the biggest problem for many, i agree. What you did get wrong is improving lap time through training. At the level you and i are driving its very easy to improve your racing line with rudimentary adjustments to driving style and muscle memory, but we are talking about the 20 best drivers in the world here. You can analyze racing lines all you want, but at this point you reach a limit where you cannot go faster simply through training. Theres a reason the legends of formula are so far ahead of their competition, they were given a gift, a new sense almost, during birth. They can simply see the track in a different way than us, a good example being Ayrton Senna or Fernando Alonso. These guys have very odd driving styles that would seem slow if we tried to replicate them. That is because driving styles are personal. Everyone drives in a specific way and wants a car that handles in a specific way. Training and analytics only take you so far. If you asked me to explain this phenomenon, i'd say its because your personality determines how you drive and what your limits are. So yeah, copying isn't the name of the game

You are wrong about consciousness and Gs. Formula 1 drivers experience lateral Gs, not vertical (which are fighter pilot Gs).

​@@fightingfalconfanthen why/how do they test fighter pilots G tolerance in a chair that spins during training causing them to pass out?

[@bradsanders407]

The actual cause is the amount of Gs. F1 is like 5ish at most i believe. A boeing 747 lost control and entered a nose dive over the pacific and the pilots pulled it out of a dive causing a 5.2 G load. It bent the wings downward and broke off the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer but they eventually landed safely in almost one piece. There were no reports of anyone losing consciousness and that was pure vertical Gs. Fighter pilots deal with G loads around 9 briefly. Which is the threshold for human tolerance in regards to consciousness. Sustained Gs of 6 would be fatal.

[@colnel1291]

A normal healthy young man's heart rate is 72bpm...yes, when you're sitting in one place (60 if you excercise regurarly and heavily). But during a cardio workout it's more like 160.

You can’t black out from lateral g force as the brain still gets blood and oxygen, it’s positive vertical G force which overwhelmed the hearts ability to pump to the brain and causes the black out

[@RoidMidget]

You are correct sir! Qualifier: I worked on fighter aircraft anti-g systems. Pilots only risk g-loc (g induced loss of consciousness) from blood flowing downward toward their feet from their brain). Anti-G systems activate when the aircraft experiences a positive g maneuver filling air bladders in their legs forcing blood back up to toward their noggins. They also must do a core/breathing maneuver to assist in forcing blood from the torso upward but that’s for a fighter pilot to explain. The only scenario formula 1 drivers would need an anti g suit system would be if the track has an inverted loop where the car would go upside down (pushing their butt downward into the seat) like a hot wheels track and even then they would have to exceed 3Gs (positive, not lateral Gs) to need it. Roller coasters are design limited to around 3G for public safety. USAF has performed human physiological limits on high speed rocket test tracks and (iirc, this is outside my expertise) they experienced 50Gs of forward lateral acceleration without passing out. They rapidly decel’d them as well but I don’t think it was near as high but had no issues. The aircraft anti g system DOES NOT activate during lateral acceleration or deceleration!

[@Mr.Fabrication007]

interesting point, thanks

[@ChloeDaVoir]

Question elaborating on lateral g forces, out of curiosity: While turning sharply, lateral g forces acting on the head would logically be at their highest. It's probably safe to assume that due to such g forces, one part of the brain is being momentarily deprived of blood, yeah? I feel like that'd have some effect on the driver, though probably small given how short of a time window it is

Schumacher was one of the first drivers to be extremely fit, that's one of the reasons he won so many championships, apart from his natural talent. 3.

This video is very misleading and inaccurate in many ways. Average reaction times are around 2-3 tenths of a second for F1 drivers and regular people. F1 drivers just train to get it consistently in the lower range. The cockpit can reach around 50C, the turbo and engine is what can get to 800C. Weight loss in a race is true. They do maintain a heart rate of around 170bpm for the whole race however comparing that to the average RESTING heart rate is very misleading. Top level marathon runners also maintain around 170bpm. The cars have never reached 6G. People pass out with roughly 7G of DOWNWARDS g force. F1 drivers experience lateral and fore/aft G force which effects the brain differently. Pushing the blood from one side of the brain to the other rather than down out of the head completely to result in unconsciousness. Brake force does often hover around 100kg of peak force. However they are not pushing that hard every time they brake. Only in the biggest deceleration zones and then they are quickly lowering from that initial peak force as the speed and downforce reduce.

Just wanna point out, that fastest starting time of 0.04 seconds wasn't because of reaction time, a lot of racers had their radio teams tap into when the starting light is going to be signaled. One day the light team realized what was happening, and without publicly calling out every driver they thought was doing it, they simply sent the signal one day without flipping the light. About half the starting grid started moving at the same time. It was announced to be a light malfunction and they restarted the race, but it was a way for the light team to tell the pit crews they're aware of what they're doing, and was kind of a passive aggressive way to say "You might wanna stop this because you just confirmed our suspicions."
