That doesnât always apply, of course, since the two Presidentâs who presided over the ill-advised war in Vietnam both served in the military during World War II, and that didnât seem to prevent either Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson from making decision about the war that seem to be quite foolhardy in retrospect.
A modern F1 car can accelerate to 62 mph in less than two seconds, pull more Gs than a Space Shuttle launch, and hit a top speed over 200 MPH in qualifying.t first glance, this sounds a lot like a smaller version of the V8 you could find in many carsâ until you realize that F1 engines routinely rev up to 18,000 RPM. Thanks to all those revs, they produce about 300 HP/L for a total output of around 750 HP or more.
The 2006 F1 cars have a power-to-weight ratio of 1,250 hp/t (0.93 kW/kg). Theoretically this would allow the car to reach 100 km/h (60 mph) in less than 1 second. However the massive power cannot be converted to motion at low speeds due to traction loss and the usual figure is 2 seconds to reach 100 km/h (60 mph).he modern-day Formula One cars are constructed from composites of carbon fibre and similar ultra-lightweight materials. The minimum weight permissible is 702 kg (1,548 lb) including the driver but not fuel. Cars are weighed with dry-weather tyres fitted.
