The Indianapolis 500 is one of the most prestigious racing events in the world, where the cars reach over 230 miles per hour and race nose to tail for 200 laps.

But what would happen if you put an F1 car on the grid? Would be able to go quicker?

We’ve done some research to find out.

Indycars and Formula 1 cars look pretty similar. Both open-wheel formula cars, lots of downforce and both run turbocharged V6 engines. However, there are some pretty big differences.

Indycar is a spec series, meaning that all cars run the same Dallara chassis, the same aero package for each circuit and have the choice of two engines - Honda or Chevrolet. A bit like the Corvette from earlier!

[Cheeky mention - not required but would be a cool freebie]

Whereas, Formula 1 is a constructor championship. The cars are made by the teams, with only some components shared between the teams - like Williams using Mercedes engines and Haas running Ferrari components like the steering wheel.

Indycar run the series like this to save costs for the teams and encourage closer racing, meaning there are very limited opportunities to spend more money and gain an advantage over other teams.

What do you think? Would Indy win? Or Formula 1?

"Ovals are incredibly tricky to get right", that's because they only turn left 😂

Well, I say it again, maybe Red Bull should test it as they love their marketing! Great vid btw

You missed an important point here: F1 engines are NOT designed to run on an oval. You would need special lubrication systems to deal with the asymmetric loading. Just ask Ilmor - when F1 returned to the Indy road circuit in 2000, Hakkinens engine failed due to those unique stresses on the banked part of the circuit.

I think the top speed issue could be solved, by some modifications to the airodynamics and gearbox. But I have doubts that the engines could survive 800 km of running full throttle almost permanently.

A quick summation of this video. An F1 car could compete at Indy if it was modded to be an Indycar.

I remember when Alonso raced at Indy, Daniel Riccardo was asked if he would ever do it, and his answer surprised me. He said, "ahh maybe Daytona one day, but Indy scares me."

Both types of cars are gorgeous machines that are designed for two different types of tracks. And the speed they both can go is astounding! It is great to hear how and why each are designed. Fascinating.

Wasn’t expecting much but you did a nice job on the video. I am the Crew Chief for the current Indianapolis 500 all time track record holder. (Luyendyk 1996 239.26 mph unofficial, 237.498 mph official) The record has stood now for 27 years. One of the things that is not talked about is the experience at running at this track. No formula 1 team has the experience to “just” make it happen. Our track records were a compilation between myself and my engineer of 36 years of experience at the Indy 500. We developed some “secret stuff” over many years, and it all came together that day of qualifying. It would be very hard for any Formula 1 engineers to make any car go fast at Indy without the experience. And a quick note, maybe not 300mph, but on our 239 mph lap, a Little know fact is we broke 250 miles per hour on that lap going into turn 3 on the PI data…..250.216 to be exact. Won’t see that for a while again.

Those iPad drawing segments were actually impressive. Typically the whole segment is animated together including the hand to look like someone is drawing in realtime, but it's all part of the animation. The drawing segments in this video all seem authentic. Which if so, wow. That's a commendable amount of effort. 🙇‍♀️

F1 at Indianapolis brings up bad memories. As a kid, I remember trying to watch that race with my Dad and it turned into a 6 car sham of a race.

This video is not intended for comparation between F1 and Indy. It just tells us the difference between those 2 as results of different goal and different environment

That was a fun, theoretical analysis. On the point of the formula one tires being larger and I have to say that it it's not that simple. They couldn't use the tires that they normally do because they wouldn't last on the oval. Remember when they ran the F1 Grand Prix on half of the oval and the tires blew up? So to run an F1 car there we would need different tires, maybe the same ones that Indie cars use.

Weird, didn't I watch this video already? Was it re-published? It's a great video, totally happy to watch it again. :)

Amazing video. Love how you discuss how complicated an oval race can be. To me being a fan of Motorsport. Each one takes a special kind of driver and crew to master. Makes having a variety of Motorsport to watch fun.

Loved the detail your went into! I knew there was differences but never knew there was so many or how some were so drastically different. Thanks for doing this!
