What is the difference between F1 and F2?
2 Answers
The differences between F1 and F2 are: 1. Different engine cylinder capacity: F1 stipulates an engine cylinder capacity of 3.5 liters; F2 stipulates an engine cylinder capacity of 3 liters. 2. Different maximum power: F1 has a maximum power of 650 horsepower; F2 has a maximum power of 475 horsepower. F1 is the World Formula One Championship, an annual series of circuit racing competitions organized by the International Automobile Federation (FIA). F2 is the World Formula Two Championship, which aims to establish a low-cost racing series to provide young drivers with the opportunity to compete in high-level motorsport.
A few days ago, I was chatting with friends about racing and happened to mention this. F1 is the top-tier Formula racing, using the most cutting-edge technology, with each car's development costs reaching hundreds of millions of dollars, and the slipstream acceleration effect is visibly fast. F2 is like the training ground for F1, with uniformly designed cars, fixed specifications for chassis and engines, where drivers' room for performance mainly lies in tuning and tactics. Watching F2 races, you'll notice more frequent overtaking because the performance gap between cars is smaller, and victories often come down to just a few seconds. It's most obvious when watching weekend race broadcasts: F1 cars corner as if glued to the track, while F2 cars show much more noticeable body sway during turns.
