F1 car

F1 pit crews can refuel and change tyres in around 3 seconds.

During the race the tyres lose weight! Each tyre loses about 0.5 kg in weight due to wear.

Normal tyres last 60 000 - 100 000 km. Racing tyres are designed to last 90 - 120 km.

A dry-weather F1 tyre reaches peak operating performance (best grip) when tread temperature is between 900C and 1200C.(Water boils boils at 100C remember) At top speed, F1 tyres rotate 50 times a second.

i saw this at last years motor show, the photos don't do it justice. a f1 car produces more down force than it weighs so in theory if going fast enough down a tunnel it could drive on the ceiling!
