Can any F1 car beat a Le Mans car of the same year on the old circuit ? (From 1955 to 1967)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In an older video, we compared LM cars and F1 cars from the same year on the modern layout. Here, we do the same on the old layout, for the period 1955-1967.

    That Maserati 250 is terrifying. It's like driving a v12 bathtub on bicycle wheels

    Inline six. *edit* I stand corrected. I never knew it ran with a V12. That said, all of its success was with the six. I guess you learn something every day.

    @@ImInLoveWithBulla Yeah and 250 means 2.5l, right? I also thought it was an I6 becauce of that small displacement. Also 300hp is very impressive for an NA 2.5l with no clever electronics in the engine

    Alain De Cadenet once said about older race cars, that the 427 Cobra was the only car that he had to continue sawing away at the steering wheel all the way down the straight. New drivers have it so easy.

    Good video and interesting food for thought.😀 Just a few thoughts from me. The first being obvious. As well as different regulations, the cars were designed for the circuits they usually ran on. I wonder how the Sports Cars would compare at 1967 Monaco. Or 1967 Spa where both types of car competed regularly. Incidentally, the Monaco GP was raced for Sportscars in 1953 (I think). That's all got me tempted to dig out real world lap time comparisons for those tracks.😀 Secondly, I couldn't see the revs clearly, so wondered if the F1 cars had options for long enough gearing for the straight. And, of course, it depends on how well the cars are modelled. For example, I'm not sure D-Types in period ran with negative camber. I hope that doesn't sound negative, I really enjoyed the video.

    Concerning the 1955 Record: Mercedes used almost the same car (W196) for Le Mans and F1. The Le Mans car also had bored and stroked cylinders plus the hood aerobrake so it should be faster than its F1 counterpart. Compare the Nürburgring Qualifying laptimes of Sportscar Championship and F1 Event and you see that the laptimes are almost identical.

    Depends in what criteria, usually F1 cars are focused on downforce so on regular tracks they would dominate easily with a superior chassis and aerodynamic feature. Hell even their engine on several occasions. However the reason for LMP and GT class is down to the fact that they are to homologate real world cars and help manufacturers what is needed to improve power and reliability for their regular cars. On a track with straights I’d confidently say LMP cars would tear shit apart.

    When it comes to machinery or technology people were waaayy crazier back in the old days. But that's life. It's a learning process. Can't expect people after inventing engines and cars to have a modern and safe standard almost instantly. Progress is slow.
