what is the difference between passengers cars and formula one cars?

Question

i want to know more specific about engine design, gear and torque transmission in formula one cars.

Answer 1

Hello,

Formula one cars are fully custom built cars, they meet the standards of the FIA. Main features include:
- V8 engines with 2400 cc displacement
- fixed dimensions and main shape constraints
- constraints of fuel ingredients
- statements inhibiting and prohibiting technologies
- standards and measurement methods for safety technologies

The main difference in the power- and drivetrain of these cars compared to the commercial vehicles that they are not so durable, these engines are optimized for power at the sake of lifetime. The transmission are semi-automatic, the gear changes are actuated by hydraulic means (a gear change is done in milliseconds). They use the latest materials and technologies which are too expensive for sreies production.

See the official standard here:

There is nothing comparable between a mass produce saloon with a formula 1 workhorse.
What do you expect in similarities between a $20K car and one which cost around 10 ~ 20 million?
From the finely tuned and strengthened carbon fibered body to those special R&D produced suspensions, transmissions, finely tuned, hundreds of Horsepower producing engines and manifolds to those specially picked gear ratios, dampers and ever changing compounds on those sleeks, suited for each particular track.
I really cannot find any similarities, not even the steering wheels nor the seat, rims, even the its bolt or nuts, just to mention a few.
Wise up man, if you're serious enough, be specific, go for one particular part and try to major in that field.
Its a very very highly sophisticated business in Formula 1 nowadays.
Bon Voyage

Me! Firebirds have been continuously bought as a chain of differentiated products. Even in the 60's, while those products have been in basic terms separated by utilising engine determination. After the 60's, all of the fashions had names. The Trans Am became into the utmost priced product in the line, and it became right into a intense overall performance sort of lineup. Trans Ams have been continuously given the utmost overall performance equipment (universal) that Firebirds had. maximum three hundred and sixty 5 days, Trans Ams had no luxurious equipment universal that wasn't universal on a base Firebird. Pontiac quickly made a GTA that value much extra, yet those have been somewhat a 2d trim point of Trans Am. no person is going to assert that a GTA isn't a TA. The be conscious "Firebird" would not seem on a Trans Am, through fact they had to tell apart it as much as a probability from something of the Firebird lineup.

Answer 4

Passenger formula and One Formula

Answer 5

Let's see if I can make this as simple as possible,

passenger car- top speed 100mph, price $22,000
F-1 racecar - top speed 250mph price $5,000,000 (not street legal)
