How are Formula 1 (F1) cars able to accelerate so quickly?
In: Engineering
If you take into account low gear ratios, nice contact patch to the ground, very good tyres, downforce when it starts going fast and good power to weight ratio I think it make sense that they go from 0-100km/h(0-60mph) in just under 2 seconds, but with enough power you could get more even acceleration at higher speeds because of the extra traction created by downforce.
