For those who are about to hit the road for the first time as a driver rather than a passenger, the question often arises: what vehicle should I buy? When choosing between automobile and two-wheeled vehicles, they consider which is more practical, more powerful, more convenient? Finally, which is faster: a motorcycle or a car? Of course, the ideal option is when you have both a car and a motorcycle in the garage. And yet, let’s look at the advantages of each type of transport.
IndyCar
Top speed: 380 km/h
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: 3 seconds
In terms of outright speed, the IndyCar series comes to the fore, reaching speeds of up to 380 km/h. At the same time, however, it cannot be said that these cars are the fastest, since they are inferior to Formula 1 cars in terms of aerodynamic efficiency. on smaller tracks or tracks with a lot of turns they are slower.
Why does a person need a vehicle?
The benefit of owning a vehicle, whether it's a car, a race car, a motorcycle or just a bicycle, is the freedom of movement. This means that you do not depend on the public transport schedule, but can go whenever you want.
When choosing an “iron horse,” every car or motorcycle enthusiast pays attention to his personal preferences and the price of the product. Many people choose a car, but a motorcycle also has its own advantages and in some situations it can be more useful to a person.
Formula 1
Top speed: 370 km/h
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h: 2.6 seconds
It is quite difficult to compare Formula 1 and IndyCar cars on equal terms, since the calendar of the two championships is always different. Competitions in both series are held at only one track - COTA (Circuit of the Americas) in Austin.
Last year, the fastest qualifying time for the Formula 1 race was set by Valteri Botas with Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The Finnish driver completed the 5.5 km lap in 1:32.029 minutes with an average speed of 206.4 km/h. The pole position in the IndyCar race was 1:46.018 (average speed 186.4 km/h).
Formula 1 cars also excel in acceleration as they hit 100 km/h from a standstill in 2.6 seconds and reach 300 km/h in 10.6 seconds.
