What is the top speed of an F1 car?
1 Answers
The theoretical top speed of a racing car can reach 960 kilometers per hour. In 2005, the Honda racing car equipped with a V10 engine achieved nearly 1000 horsepower. In the same year, Montoya set a track speed record of 372.6 km/h at the Monza circuit in Italy. Also in 2005, the Honda team first achieved 415 km/h at the Mojave Desert Airport and then exceeded 400 km/h at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States, both officially certified. The FIA Formula One World Championship, commonly known as F1, is the highest class of annual single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). It is considered the pinnacle of motorsport and, along with the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup, is one of the world's three major sporting events.
