They could race in indy in one race and F1 in the next.Who would win..why?
What is the difference anyhow? Can anyone enlighten me please?|||they would die|||f1 drivers wil win da race...bcoz f1 cars r da fastestcars on earth........|||Competing on whose territory? F1 drivers on home or away grounds? If it was F1 drivers at home, competing alongside the Indy car drivers,. f1 would win hands down. The same if Indy car drivers were on home territory, they'd win on THEIR home ground. That's my view.|||Technicall they are very different. Foremost is the fact that they use different technologies. F1 cars are very very different from Indy cars. In Indy a same spec engine is used. In F1 the engine is by different manufacturers and the broad parameters are laid down by the FIA but teams develop engines from there onwards.
But to answer your question F 1 cars are more faster, lighter and they can set up for straight line speed, downforce, cornering and so on. In terms of driver talent also the F1 scores hands down more because it has a wider pool to chose from.
F 1 will win on any type of track.|||F1 car probably, but it'd be more exciting if the IRL car won. F1 is boring as a racing format, but IRL takes a bit of getting into, but is worth it once you get over the fact that they just go round and round and round and round an...|||An indy car wouldn't cope as well around turns as an F1 car does... and an F1 car on an oval track... I think it kills it inside!|||There is a difference in the cars F1 cars are much heavier with chunkier tyres and are much sharper to handle (more accurate if you like). Indy cars are actually made for oval tracks and have staggered tyres. NASCAR is the American version of our saloon car racing.|||They'd all crash on the first right turn!|||I would suggest that the F1 drivers would pip it, but it would be close. The reasoning behind this is the opinions of the drivers themselves. Typically the younger, less experienced F1 test drivers will take an Indy seat to get race experience in the hope of getting a formula 1 drive. For example, Jacques Villeneuve won the Indy 500 at the age of 24, then 2 years later went on to be F1 world champion.
Montoya also lost out on a F1 seat in 1999, went on to win the Indy 500 and then got a race seat with the Williams F1 team in 2001.
I can't think of any recent examples of this happening the other way round.|||It depends, saying that most F1 drivers first where champions in indy cars.
But i still think that the F1 drivers would win because of the experience that they have, really it depends on who is racing.|||there is a different in the design of the cars and the handling of the car.
you could do both and there has been a few people who have won a f1 an Indy but only one person has won both series in the same year|||On Speedway tracks - Indy,They are made specially by only having the componants for turning Left and Throttle , so are 10 times lighter than F1
Elsewhere it would be the 2006 F1 Superteams(Ferrari,Renault,McLaren) as they use the V10 engines rather than the Indy v8's|||I believe the best example is Nigel Mansell. Having being world champion in formula one, he went to America and took part in Indy carracing. He became rooky of the year won most pole positions and became world indy car champion.|||IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFF THEN WHY ASK THE QESTION|||ask Nigel Mansel. He was a past F-1 champ for Ferrari, then came over to race Indy cars. He wasn't near as competitive in Indy as F-1. Michael Andretti went to F-1 from Indy, wasn't as competitive. Apples and oranges. The designs of the cars are crucial to the success of what style of racing the car is designed for. Different styles of tracks, i.e. road courses or ovals. A lot of the tracks in Europe are made with marble, not just tar, dirt and rocks. So tires are made of different compounds. Then there are driving styles. How do they draft? Meaning pulling or pushing each other. Agressiveness. A lot of variables in the two types of racing.|||The best of F1 would win. That's why it is the pinnacle of motorsports|||It depends on the track....Indy cars will win a street or off road race and would be better on rough surfaces.
F1's will win on race tracks and smooth straight roads as they are built for speed and are extremly aerodinamic as they are built the same as a plane, one rock of the road will send one flying. the only thing that holds them down is the spoiler and bumper and once they stop you can't really start them again and you may as well forget about the breaks as they are not used when racing unless they urgently have to but even then it takes miles to stop.
So when it comes to pure speed the F1 wins.
For more controll and fancy drifts it would have to be indy.
However F1 Drivers are extremly skilled and are the top dogs in racing so I wouldn't really place any bets|||Formula One and Indy Cars are totally different breeds and tell you the truth it would come down to what car they were to drive. If you pitted an actual F1 car against a Indy car I believe the F1 car and driver would out do the Indy car and drive. Schumacher would eat any Indy drivers lunch. Those F1 cars are so high tech and they race in the rain and all kinds of conditions as for Indy they would stop it.
If it was an Indy car race only and on a US track, then it would be interesting and would have to give an Indy drive a slight edge in familiarity.|||F1 would gut them. INDycar is the minorleagues, while F1 is the highest level of racecar driving in the world.|||F-1??? INDY??? I remember those cars they had no fenders. Nobody gose to watch them anymore.They are BORING!!!!!|||Indy sucks
F1 RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALONSO IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||All I can say is that F1 drivers have in general done better going to Indy car racing than indy drivers have going to F1.
(I know there are exceptions such as Jacques Villeneuve, but I am talking in general terms!)
Indy car drivers also tend to have longer careers than F1 drivers. By that I mean indy drivers still race despite having celebrated more birthdays than F1 drivers.
(again I know there are exceptions such as Fangio)
As for differences between them, I suggest you look IRL, CART and Formula 1 on Wikipedia and read it for yourself!!!|||Normal race track (road course), it will be a hands-down win for the F1 car. It gets closer on the ovals, but I think that F1 cars may just edge it ahead if they're set up aerodynamically to a Monza-like setting (super-high speed, low downforce, low drag). Reliability may be a key issue here, since F1 engines are designed for 2 race weekends (but probably not for 15 minutes at full throttle, 19,000 rpm), but the engine manufacturers may get their hands dirty and make a reliable yet powerful engine for this kind of racing.
Differences:
-F1 cars have a slight edge in power (it was a massive edge in the V10 era, now it's growing back up(slowly, due to the "freeze"), even with V8's)
-F1 cars produce massive amounts of downforce to help them grip the track in corners
-the drivers have more skill in F1, since they always run on tricky circuits (I know that American open-wheelers race on city streets, but F1 races on the streets of Monaco for the Monaco GP, where there's barely room to put 2 cars side-by-side) which require great nerve and knowing how to set up your car properly.|||As a NASCAR fan, I would say.....it would bore the world!|||the race will divid into 2 section F1 drivers racing in front and the indy driver racing at the back of them..
sure F1 drivers r more skilled..|||F1 drivers vs Indy drivers - F1 drivers are the best of the world where as indy drivers are the best of america, drivers like barrichello, massa and ex montoya are the best of america but they are good enough to compete with the best of the world. indy drivers are the drivers who didnt make it to F1 OR they are the drivers trying to get into F1. All drivers want to get to F1 because first of all, all the top drivers are there, there is more history in F1, the cars are the most technically advanced machines on the planet and because its a world wide sport and way more popular.
F1 car vs Indy car - F1 car's brakes are the biggest difference, F1 cars can brake so much later than any other car because of there carbon brakes. F1 cars corner quicker because they have so much down force. F1 cars speed up faster because they have more power and are far lighter. Over a standard road course an indy would be about 10 seconds slower than a current F1 car.|||As long as we make it even ground where the F1 guys get to build an Oval track car, and the Indy guys build a Road course car, the F1 guys will win hands down, for these reasons:
1.) they are lighter
2.) acceleration
3.) braking power
4.) aerodynamics (down force is twice that of the INDY/CART type cars)|||back in the 70's and 80's they used to have an all star race between these 2 racing leagues. the F1 cars always killed the indy cars.
if the race was to be held today, the F1 cars would blow the indy cars off the track. the F1 cars are lighter, quicker, and the drivers are just better.
Look at Michael Andretti, not to go bad on him, but he is a great indy car driver, and he could not hang with the F1 drivers back when he was over there racing!!!!!|||Well u see , Indy cars r manageable but to drive an F1 car u need some skill.
Indy cars r just normal , they r like a ordinary car but F1 cars have the gearbox n every thin else on the steering wheel so i'd say F1 will have the edge over Indy.|||based on skill alone the f1 drivers would as an f1 car is harder to handle then an indy car . an indy car has a slightly wider wheelbase though making it easier to handle. this is down to the fact that the power of the car is spread over a larger area where in an f1 car its narrow and has a higher tendancy to want to spin round on the driver.|||lol.. If you dont know the difference in F1 and INDY then you need to open your eyes and watch a race or two! Next Question, This ones STUPID!
