Top Fuel Dragster VS F1 | The Ultimate Comparison 

SOME INSANE FACTS ABOUT TOP FUEL DRAGSTERS: - Brittany Force holds the fastest run in NHRA's history: 545.47 km/h (338.94 mph), 3.641 seconds. A Ferrari Enzo or a NASCAR Cup car wouldn't even get to one-fifth of that speed in that time. - A Top Fuel Dragster consumes as much fuel as a Boeing 747 which weights 412.000 kg (910,000 lbs). - The cars are incredibly well prepared to protect drivers at those speeds. Racing a Top Fuel Dragster in the NHRA isn't more dangerous than racing in F1 or NASCAR. - The sound is enough to cause physical pain measuring 2.3 on the Ritcher scale. - The engines have to be completely rebuilt after a single run, same for the clutch. The tyres can do 8 runs though, so you would need 8 engines to wear a single tyre set. - Teams can rebuild an engine in just 25 minutes. - The exhaust gases produce over 500 kg (1100 lbs) of downforce which helps the dragster at launch. - At top speed it generates 4000 kg (9000 lbs) of downforce. - The tyres compress by up to 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter at launch, increasing the contact patch. - Top fuel dragsters have carbon brakes as well as 2 parachutes to stop the car after they cross the finish line. Braking power isn't far off an F1 car.

the top fuel dragster burns about 19 litres of petrol per second? That seems unreal. Would have guessed 0.5 to 2 liters per second. The fuel pumps must be absolutely insane.

It’s crazy how the Top Corner Racing and Top Drag Racing platforms are both open wheel n have the same basic look

Now we need an F1 car with dragster's power.

7:17 bro that rubberband tho 💀

Dragsters on the 1/4 mile is already scary enough. Imagine just how _terrifying_ it would be on a 1km straight.

I like how dragster have the same mentality as group C cars : no grip, no handling, just power

Wow, I wasn't expecting to both be so close of eachother at the end, really stunning!

I think you shouldve sent it on the banked turns.

Next time i suggest to the dragster to use the wallride, i bet he'll win...

that was the single greatest comback in motorsport history

"Scuderia Test Dummies, that's our motto!" - The Ferrari team,most likely.

Which one is more technologically advanced in your opinion?

OMG with those bicycle wheels about to explode!!😱 That engine sound👌 Excellent video!!!

My 4 year old son always asks me what car is faster... this is a good way to show him that there are different ways of being fast

The dragster went so fast on the straight that the tyres were on fire

So good race. I love races between different car styles. Like truck vs gokart or this one.

Well this is a very different route x then what I'm used to, im used to just a straight up oval

why have i seen this in my dreams weeks before i even watched it

Well this has been hell of a matchup! Yeah… doesn’t look like the Top Fuel Dragster isn’t much to handle the circuits that much compared to the F1 car, but it sure as sh!t OBLITERATES it on the straights. Other than that it’s been a fun video to watch! 👍 Now I wonder how a Top Fuel Dragster would go up against and LMP/LMH car at Le Mans? Hmm… 🤔

I dont believe that the dragster would be taking any curves at over 100kmh, those skinny front tyres would not provide enough grip and would surely push wide every time the speed started ramping up in anything other than a straight line.

So who's folding the parachute after each straight?

let's see their perfomances in monaco)

Thus is actually sick

I need to know where he got this top fuel mod

I'd like to an all type of Motorsports race again, but on this track.

i love how the top fuel does a flaming burnout whenever gas is pressed

Thats some quality content right there

The topfuel dragster sounds amazing!🔥

Man driver in top fuel drager must be fearless, strong enough to withstand insane g force, and patient and tame while corner while f1 pass you long ago.

I don’t think the top fuel dragster would make it much further than a quarter mile, without the motor exploding in a spectacular manner. They’re really only designed to run seconds at a time.

Fuel Dragster vs SRT Tomahawk X

Can we see a unrestricted nascar cup car vs the garage 56 cup car at the Daytona road course please

6:12 all of that is remarkably scary

The problem with the dragster is having to jump out and repack the parachute after each corner.

I wanna see Top Fuel Dragster vs Top Fuel Funny Car that will be interesting

I can't believe gran turismo still hasn't added the road course layout for special route x

THIS IS SO FUNNY JUST SEEING THE DRAGSTER GO WARP MODE ON THE STRAIGHTS OF THE SPECIAL STAGE AND JUST THE CONCEPT OF A DRAGSTER VS F1🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

it a little weird how the dragster doesn't go up the bankings and how the f1 broke a couple of times and didn't takes corners as tightly as possible

If Top Gear and all Drag Race channels joined forces.

Could you do a lap video on Special Route X? Using the banking and not using it to see which is faster too. There's no good video of this track on yt

The drag car on Monza was hilarious

Okay so obviously realistically the Topfuel dragster would’ve blown up ages before it finished the second or third race. But since this is a video game, YOU SHOULDVE USED THE BANKS MORE (especially in the half tubes but even in the normal banked corners it could’ve made a big difference)

Formula 4 vs dragster at Monza?

I have a question, i play GT7 and GT6 and there is Special Stage Route X but it has only straights. I always wanted to see behind the road walls.

Route xx Is giving me some serious armored core vibes right about now!

Very cool video! A similar comparison I've always heard is if a top fuel dragster was idling at the end of turn #4 at the Indy track, and an Indy car came by at its average speed of 220 mph, the dragster launches from a dead stop just as the Indy car passes, the dragster would catch and beat the Indy car to the quarter mile mark. Now THAT'S some acceleration! (~11,000 hp, ~60 gallons/mile, 0 - 300 mph ~3 seconds)😎👍

It's always so goofy seeing a top fuel dragster turning lol

Can you try Red Bull x2014 vs top fuel, im curious to see what the maximum of f1 limits can do vs top fuel

Brilliant 😁

Truly a "no shyt" moment

good stuff more

Where did you get the special stage route XX track?

What is the map you used at the end

Dragster: ***shifts***

BRO MADE F1 LOOK SLOW

Can someone tell me the top speed of the top fuel dragster if it was top speed was limited by areo drag besides its gear ratio

As a life long drag racing fan im calling bs., there is no way a fueler 8s hanging with F1. And where did you get the mod.

As well as braking performance with assumed paarchute, as well as fuel usage, grip etc not simulated, the other thing the video has had to assume by default is that the top fuels engine can last for longer than 8 seconds at full throttle. In reality, a top fuels engine all but destroys itself after every run - also the spark plugs get incinerated and so the engine starts dieseling, so going off throttle and coming back on likely won't work either

Just clicked the video. Why TF is that even a question, in fact im even gonna watch this, im just mad this video/question exists

The Track was Not really fair… it is made of high Speed curves and straights, but an f1-car has its strength in tight corners and the accellererarion at the exit of them (and of course in corner Speed generally, but these were not the Limit for the f1 car. The dragster has its strength on the straights, accelleration and high Speed, Both of them happened quite often.

ima give u a tip try to remove more downforce from the f1 car increase gears and hp longer gears and she'll be a good to go

Im gonna be honest, TF dragsters accelerate way quicker than how it's shown in the video.

👍Do the same dpecial stage race vs other cars, race cars and road cars.

Having seen a dragster try to leave the track a little too quick, this sim is way more forgiving than IRL. Doesn't take much to twist the whole nose and lift inside front wheel and just push straight.

Real question, can funny car dragster able to flat out on Nardo ring?

An insane fact about Drag Tires is that they only last 4 passes before they need to be replaced.

5:32 why cant the dragster go through the wall

I love these comparison videos but this one requires too much special pleading. Now would I would like to see if a current F1 and Indy car on this hybrid track.

Cool

The f1 car hesitated just a bit when overtaking the dragster. If it had passed flat out, it would've been a lot closer to winning

The stats are so wrong on the TF. They have a weight limit of 500kg, so half this and top speed of ~540km/h.

0:55 😂

The answers: The Dragster makes up a 27 second deficit from pure speed on the 5km straight Obliterates the F1 car in the end

I think you meant $170/ gallon, $45/litre.

there were mamy times on the special stage that the dragster couldve been sent much harder

Next time on Nümburgring

2:59 Also what helicopter can do 640 km/h? :D

Dragster mod link?

I wonder if the Roman could beat the F1 car here (maybe scaled down a little so the corners were more difficult for Nevera)

The dragster has only one gear?

Putting a Top Fuel dragster on a actual race track is like putting a black guy in water it doesn’t work well

A Top Fuel dragster in all honesty would not function beyond a 1/4 mile. The engine would seize. Top Fuel dragster engines literally tear themselves apart and melt themselves.

I'm sure the dragster could use the bank and keep some higher speed. It would seem the physics engine for the game is lacking!

Needa re run it so the top fuel actually uses the banking😂

I feel like the dragster could’ve just went horizontal and not break at all to win

Bono, my engine's gone

Dragster is the fastest in only straight, but an F1 car is the fastest in a complete circuit

Top fuel dragster: Lurusan elit, menikung sulit

This honestly wouldn't work in real life. And modern sims don't simulate drag racing cars very well. A top fuel dragster engine barely makes it a quarter mile. Which is why they only run at a 1000' now. And the current Funny car speed record is 341 mph. The fuel rate on a 23 gallon tank of nitromethane not counting the burnout. Is 4 gallons a second. I have seen a top fuel car in person and it is wild. The blower acutual covers the sound of the super charger. That I have heard make a dyno pull at a open house. I was standing outside the building. And I still had to cover my ears.

no drs for the top fuel dragster? 😉😜

drag racers can actually steer?

7:17 AND HERE COMES HAMILTON!!

it cant outrun more than 200meters

who evers driving that dragster needs to learn to stear with there feet...

You should use RB19 instead of this 😂

Current F1s can easily hit over 350km/h...plus an F1 deploying DRS everytime is possible...a dragster deploying parachute everytime isn't

Top Fuel Dragster maximum speed 545.

wth was that LMAO kinda awkward too tbh lol

Bro the dragster is not at the Clue f1😂😂😂😂😂
