hey guys.. always been wondering the acceleration of an f1 car.. been searching the web but i cannot find any information. Would like any information. ALSO how long till top speed

Based on Bmw Williams F1 telemetry:
0 -> 62mph : 2.093s
0 -> 212.5 mph : 12,741s

Conversion from km/h to mph: 1.6

though those numbers are based on the Williams telemetry this test was made on a drag stip in 2002.....but lets also not forget that the aceleration also depends on a number of factores:

- traction
- gear ratios
- throtle position.

So the info I have I don't know in which conditions it was registered....

I got it in print.....but I found it on the internet about 5 or 6 months ago....it was a university study conducted in association with Bmw Williams.

It also depends on the aero setup

I have read an article in a magazine (car&driver i believe) that tested out the second generation Jaguar F1 car. It was a bit slower than what the Williams(0-60 in 2.6 I recall) yet its top speed was something like 230. The car probably was in a high speed setup.

Was almost sure that a superbike was 2.0 and an F1 was 1.9 ... Montoya did a head to head with, I forget who, Rossi maybe ?

anyone remember this ?

A Ferrari does 0-60 in 1.8 seconds, who oever said 2.7 is wrong martin hadlands, reyland escort cossie does it in 2.8, look it up on google! and f1 cars are slightly faster even thought the engine is alot smaller!!

According to the data I have the time of the F2003Ga on the 0-100 km/h was 2.7 seconds.
