I put F1 Tyres on a Normal car to make it faster - and we’ve brought it to our racetrack to prove I’m right. Now we tried this on a racecar and it worked perfectly (Tescos clip), so we’re putting it on a road-legal 130 horsepower Toyota - because why not. More grip = more fast AND more safe. What could go wrong? Now you can’t deny his optimism, but you have to agree - he’s wrong. We tried this before and they had zero grip - we just couldn’t get them warm enough.

3 seconds doesn't sound like a lot but on a minute-and-a-half lap, it's a whole different performance class. If memory serves, that was about how much faster the last Viper ACR was against the same-year Z06 at Laguna Seca when tested by the Motor Trend guys. It translated to 12-13 seconds faster on the Nordschleife.

@in3kro274 2 роки тому

I'm wondering if pressure was taking into account... Mr2 weights about 1180kg and has no downforce, F1 cars weighted arround 750kg when these tyres were used, but they produce up to 3750 kg of downforce which would put these tyres under a total of 4500 kg of force, actually increansing contact patch. So yeah, I think cold pressures should be way lower when installing these tyres in street cars to try to compensate to the lack of downforce so the contact patch is actually consisten with their real use case.

@bakedbeings 2 роки тому

Also they should weld ginormous spoilers all over it.

@CallumMcIntyreRacing 2 роки тому

@matgee8892 2 роки тому

I'd love to know more about these tires and where they came from. They could be 'show tires' which were never designed to be driven on. I suspect they are show tires because as far as i know Pirelli take race spec tires back and destroy them in order to protect trade secrets (and also say they recycle all used rubber because it's good PR). Or they may be race used which means they have less tread depth and wont have anywhere near as much grip as they should.

@reality-warp Рік тому

Correct, Pirelli takes back and destroys ALL f1 tires and have since around 2011. So, if this IS a set of actual F1 tires, and not a show or fake set, (which are exceedlingly rare) they are at least 13 years old and would be unlikely to perform anywhere near modern tires.

@stickycontroller3200 Рік тому

It's always interesting to try different stuff but F1 wheels are designed for a whole setup that goes in harmony with the car dimensions, aero, weight and other settings. Single F1 parts won't improve speed on normal cars simply because they are optimized for a specific setup and a specific car along with a specific course.

On the plus side, Social Blade estimates this channel makes proportionally more money than Drivetribe against subscriber numbers, so I am hoping this video might pay for itself.

@ashiehakoto1490 Рік тому

seems we forgot something in the equation. the car itself. you cant just throw on sticky fat tyres on a car and expect it to drive like a race car. you're missing an important ingredient: being acclimated and accustomed to to its particular driving feel. short wheelbase rear wheel drive vehicles, especially ones with the majority of their mass located in the middle, regardless of their balance bias, have a tendancy to be very nimble, but to also oversteer and spin out, and as the mass is nearer the center rather than the extremeties, regardless of the front/rear balance bias, they spin out faster and more violently, and this makes it especially difficult to recover from oversteer, to the point you almost have to force it to oversteer the otherway if you can catch it in time just to straighten it out.
