Hello everyone and welcome back. Today I want to talk about the difference between IndyCar, there it is, IndyCar and Formula One. Okay that's a very old one 2009. I mean if you don't know very well racing you won't really see any difference you know they look alike, sort of look alike you know open wheel, front wing, rear wing, big guitar, rear and front but they're actually quite different. In Formula One every team creates his chassis, his gearbox, buys an engine from either Ferrari or Ceres Albin or now it's called Red Bull Racing Honda. Let's put it that way. So for manufacturer in IndyCar we've got two Honda or Chevrolet. In Formula One is the hybrid technology so you've got a V6 turbo with also a battery on a car and an electric engine. All together it is more than 1000 horsepower in Formula One. In IndyCar it's a much simpler engine in terms of technology but still very very pushed so it's a V6 turbo but no no hybrid for now. Other differences in IndyCar we run a tunnel as a fuel petrol in Formula One so that's a that's a different different type of fuel. In IndyCar also everyone's got the same car so you can choose the engine, Chevrolet Honda but then everyone has got the same car. They're only part that you can you free to create design, update, upgrade whatever. It's a dampers and that's where there's a difference between the smaller team and the bigger team. You know the damper budget is really big at add a bigger team trying to generate as much grip as we can from those dampers. That's the difference between the teams in IndyCar. When you're in Formula One you create your own car obviously you try to copy what the others are doing great. Then you know Formula One is worldwide. You go racing everywhere. Australia, Asia, America, Europe. Why is it IndyCar? We stay in the US apart from one race in Toronto, Canada. I'm hoping we're going to go more. We're going to go to Mexico to Canada. I would love to go back to Australia surface paradise and why not in Europe? That'd be great. I'll be able to see many fans. That's my wish list. Formula One has got very normal tickets and the street courses which are Monaco, Singapore, Baku and Jetta and then in IndyCar you've got the normal race track like Indianapolis GP, Road America, street courses like Detroit, St. Pete and you've got the ovals and then within the ovals you've got a super speedway like Indianapolis, 2.5 mile of 4 kilometers lap and the very short track like Iowa or Gateway which are even less than a mile so even less than 1.6 kilometers a lap. So very different in that aspect. Qualifying obviously you know Q1, Q2, Q3 from Formula One. In IndyCar and the normal road course weekend I've got the same system but then on oval it's 2-4 laps average for your qualifying. So you're on your own on the race track. You only have one attempt, a couple of laps are in Indy5 and you get 4 laps in a row and it's the average of those 4 laps that are doing your qualifying order and then after qualifying we've got a race start. So that's another big difference. Formula One has got a standing race start once IndyCar's got a rolling race start. Rolling starts are an amazing one on pole position. Now you just go on throttle whatever you want and off you go in Formula One. It's quite tricky. The race start with the clutch and getting the right raves and getting right tire temp so a rolling start is easier apart when you're at the back. What is a lot of accoladeum? You know everyone goes to leave it on throttle and the brake throttle brake throttle brake so you're like mmmm I never really know when it's going to go so you really want to try to be as sharp as you can there. Then the races. So once you've done the race start Formula One you will change tires once maybe twice and no refuelling. You go out and then when the tires will not come in with new tires go out again and so on and so on. Whilst in IndyCar we've got a very small fuel tank uh 18 gallon 60 something liters so every 20 laps you have to come in the pit to refuel the car. So the car goes really fast in the race. We only offer seven slower in the race that we are in qualifying just because we always put new tires go for 20 laps back in the pit 20 laps. So the races are three four stops eight at the Indy 500 you know such a long race you've got eight pit stop. In Formula One you want to wait for a safety car to pit because that saves you a lot of time. In IndyCar when there's a caution safety car the pits are closed so you cannot pit. So if you have pitted the lap before you king of the world if you haven't pitted you may be in big trouble and lose a lot of position. So strategy is very different in Formula One it's very clear before the race what sort of strategy is going to be like you know exactly you're going to be between lap 21 and lap 23. In IndyCar we know what the fuel tank can do but then if there's any euros or caution or safety car we can go longer and the strategy is much more on the go. It's very hard to have any software that can predict anything. Also we've got very limited testing on the tires so like most of the time we would go in the race not knowing what's a tire life especially on the red tires because we're very limited in how many we've got and we want to save them for the race. So yeah that's that's not an easy one in terms of strategy. You know I think the beauty of IndyCar is with all the settings the roll center the geometry the tempers the springs you can really make the car to your liking right you can really make it that you love driving the car and it fits your driving styles. Why isn't Formula One you do have to adapt with what you've got it's dominated by aerodynamics meaning that if the base of the car goes understeer kind of the braking and turning in like the hardest we'll do over the five years I was there and you don't like that you just have to drive around it. I think Daniel Rikal does a really big example such a talented driver one races don't really get a Renault one to McLaren and struggle a lot. Cheers because the car doesn't suit his driving style. Changing your driving style is a challenge it's not that easy you know he can do it you can adapt that's for sure but he's never going to be 100% natural on that makes it tricky. IndyCar the beauty is that you can you can make it the way you like it which is great but also makes it that a lap time are super close to each other because it's not the one that I'd have the best it's going to go the fastest it's everyone gets to a point where you know the chassis has been run for 11 years now the team knows very well the car so it's hard to make a difference it's possible but it's hard. Yeah budget budget huge difference Formula 1 you're looking at 150 200 million yeah IndyCar you're looking at I don't know 15 to 20 million so it's 10 times cheaper obviously there's less travel but yes there's less people as well but it's not less professional I really think that IndyCar is very professional Formula 1 stays the pinnacle there's no doubt about it and I was lucky to to do it for 10 years and no I'm lucky to be able to do IndyCar and discover something new those are the big differences maybe one of them I've forgotten it's the pit stop so in Formula 1 1.88 seconds was the time that Red Bull 2 to change four tires I IndyCar you're waiting for the fuel so the fuel is going to be about 6.7 to 7.5 seconds of refueling and you can tell that if you've ever seen a race in IndyCar it's only one guy per wheel so the change wheel change goes much slower so there's 17 guys in Formula 1 doing the pit stop and there's only four five six six in IndyCar so obviously pit stop are slower but you're waiting on the fuel so you actually don't really mind going as fast as you can on the tires I think yes I mean I went through pretty much everything again don't forget to subscribe like ask me any questions maybe I forgot something that you really wanted to ask and I'll be more than happy to answer to your question so leave me a comment like the video subscribe to the channel see you very soon thank you very much guys you
