Top Fuel DRAGSTER vs NASCAR At MONZA 

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 dragster on corner is like :"let's do a litlle parade"

Using Kyle Larson at this track is devious

Not kyle larson at monza again 💀 at least this time they couldnt hear him

Give the Top Fuel Dragster another chance at the Avus Ring 😉

The dragster should definitely be in the next ultimate Motorsport race

I think a lot of people don’t realize that top fuel dragsters don’t even have transmissions, the motor is direct drive to the wheels via a clutch, which coincidentally it destroyed every run. The nitromethane also burns so hot that the motor effectively needs to be rebuilt after every run. It may be the one racing series we’re tires last longer than certain drivetrain components

this comparison is so hilarious 😂 but sounds like "freebird"!

that was completely unrealistic, yet hilarious at the same time. lmao

This has to the most ridiculous, yet hilariously entertaining racing video I have ever seen. lol

Imagine how much fuel a dragster would need to make a lap around that track.

What pocket dimension is the dragster pulling fuel from after the initial straight?

Could a top fuel dragster actually complete a single lap at Monza? Given the facts in the pinned comment, it seems like it'll be nonfunctional (out of fuel, blown engine) within the first or second turn.

The audio on the dragster is insane and kind of scary lol

This is a great way to show how insanely fast TF Drag Cars are in a straight line. Makes me wonder if there is a configuration of the chassis that could be made to get say...70-80% of the straight line speed and increase it's handling just enough to win. I'm sure some lunatic is working on something like that in a barn somewhere. haha

Fun fact, drag racer Gary Beck once set a lap record around Mosport (Canadian Tire Motorsports Park) in Toronto in his “Export A” sponsored Top Fuel Dragster by doing essentially what this video is depicting.

The problem here is that the dragsters clutch would be welded together after the first 1/4 mile

BOGGITY BOGGITY!! LESSGO RACING BOYS

Much closer than I might have though! That was fun. Simulators give us the chance to ask stupid questions and get interesting answers.

The main problem for the dragster would be carrying the fuel required for that long of a run, even allowing that the car was at idle for much of the lap. It would something around 750L (200 gal.) of nitromethane. Besides the size of the fuel tank that much nitro would weigh about 850 kg (1875 lb.).

Thanks for making this video. It was a funny idea.

Insane comparation and very cool to see! The way the Dragster closes the gap in no time on any single semi long straight section at all looks so terrifying for the Nascar lol. But alas, it cannot go around a corner lol. Power without control usually loses :-P

This is actually super interesting

Awesome video. Now do the same but around Monaco!

I was not aware dragsters could take corners

This is such a cool channel fr

Awesome! Maybe a funny car or pro stock

I did 2:30 (standing start like in this video) using the downloaded version of the top fuel dragster. How much is this version modified, compared to the downloaded one? (Top FUEL 11500 HP Dragster 1.0 at former RACEDEPARTMENT)

Well done

Now I womder how would it perform at LeMans without the chicanes in mulsanne

I'm kinda surprised that the dragster weights 1056kg I thought it would weigh 900 or 800kg🤷

Now I want to see the NASCAR race F16 fighter jet around that track or the SR-71 that goes three and a half times the speed of sound that would be cool😂

I desperately need to see this at le mans with the full mulsane straight

Not Larson 💀

We need more dragster videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Old Group C vs New DTM?

Brutal

What about with a funny car or a pro stock?

Do this at the Indy Speedway!

Monza(2023 layout): Indycar oval Spec VS Indycar road Spec.

What platform was used to make this? I want to play it!

I was really hoping to see the top fuel dragster make a pass down a long straight. But still hilarious to watch and see what the dragster could do if it had a bullet proof engine.

Maybe Pro Stock "dragster" Car vs NASCAR?

Believe it or not, the limiting factor on this race, is fuel. A top fuel dragster only holds enough fuel for a 1/4 mile run and the engine pretty much destroys itself as it goes down the track. So even if this were a possibility, this race would be over in under 10 seconds. If you were to modify the dragster to be able to actually do this, you'd need to detune the engine so much that its top speed would be nearly the same as the cup car even though it would get there much faster. This would also be because of the added fuel weight needed to complete the course. The last hurdle though would be the lateral G forces. The front suspension is not built to turn the car that much at high speeds. This circuit would likely break the front suspension in the middle of the first lap.

Those things can turn?

So....how many times did the dragster use it's single use clutch? Also....how much fuel was a car designed to run for 1/4 mile actually manage to carry? That's ignoring the fact that you had it slow like it had chutes out....but did not.

0:57 my guy braked for the FLIPPING SERRAGLIO 🤣😂🤦

Best SHR memory has to be Tony's 2011 championship run.

Dragster at Monaco circuit: ☠️

Maybe the only time a NASCAR has better cornering than another car

It did well considering it would have run out of fuel in real life

Can I just say, I really wish there was a mod for AC that has the modern Monza with the old oval combined. Kinda like how iRacing’s Monza Combined is.

If the start/finish line was moved to the end of the front stretch, Dragster has it EZ lol

I guess the dragster is considered an open wheel car

I feel like because the dragster has trouble with rotation, a more aggresive turn in with throttle control would

I wouldn't want to be in a dragster on much of any corner

one day i hope you can make a video in which a NASCAR can beat an f1 car in some kind of circuit,like cars2 (the pixar movie) or if you can't make a video with a NASCAR maybe with some other championships (like wec or gt500) always trying to beat an f1 car

Too bad you'd need probably around a 500 gallon fuel tank to complete a lap in the dragsters lol now let's do this again at Talladega just for the heck of it lol

didn't know dragsters have such powerful brakes

What game is this?

The biggest question for the dragster is whether the engine and tires will last long enough to complete a lap around the Monza Circuit.

I hate that it’s Larson, but cool video

It's crazy to know the dragster's brakes are close to level with a F1 car.

IRL that shit wouldn’t make it past first turn considering you need a whole, one use parachute to slow it down.

Top fuel Dragster vs Porsche 917k at Historic Le Mans. 3 lap race Because there are no chicanes down the Mulsane strait, the 917k gets 1.5 lap head start.

With infinite fuel maybe. The top fuel dragster will be out of fuel in 6 seconds.

I'm surprised Nascar beat a Top Fuel Dragster

That was painful.

Is the dragster allowed infinite fuel?

Top fuel vs Hypercar at Le Mans

Can dragster bit Prius in Monaco?

Here the lesson that....to go fast on a circuit you don't need to have a drag race monster car....

I think a funny car would have a better chance . It’s a little wider

Larson at Monza?

that's why you should never compare your son/daughter with other people, because they have different capacity, you can't compare sumo with usain, etc

Top Fuel Dragster VS Usain Bolt in a 100 meter there and back?..

the top fuel was heyyy nascar u ar sus nascar i wil get revenge

Dragster engine would have gotten destryed after 5 seconds

LOL!

wtf are those brakes

This is incredibly dumb, but I completely support it.

I think my push bike would go faster than what the dragster was doing anytime it wasn't a straight line...even on the banked curves it was going pathetically slow...

fueller engine would not survive that long

👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂

I did enjoy how unbelievably stupid this was

A real dragster can't turn like it... probably not even the turn radius, no matter how slow, and it should be sllooooowwwwwww. And a RL Dragster would break before the end of the second straight. But fun video anyway

This video proves that: Turn speed > Straight speed

Bwhahahahaha 😂

Gotta do it for the references, Drag King vs Broughcar Saber: Drag King on Straights: Speeeeeeeed Drag King on Curves: Turn you bitch Broughcar everywhere: What a beautiful machine...

This is kind of stupid. The truth is if you run a funny car or a dragster sitting on the tree waiting for green light and the nascar car is running at a speed of 200 mph and the drag car leaves at the same time car goes by the dragster will beat the car in the 1/4 mile. Also the top fuel uses 12 gallons of nitro every run.

TFD would be outte fuel at the end of first straight, after shut down, it will detonate motor if you get back in throttle, ain't make any corners, turning radious is complete shit by design, has no gears and the clutches would be wielded togather,,, but amusing to see. My money is on Larson,, the TFD is not making it a lap on its own. Going to take a fast tow truck to catch up to Young Money 💰 😂

This is granturismo7. Its not real.

how did the nascar win???

this is STUPID- a top fuel dragster would never even make it around the track- You do realize they are direct drive- they can't shift up and down gears- it all relies on the clutch -

Downforce kids

This is not monza

What a pointless exercise, the results can be predetermined by the person set up the sim.

NHRA > Nascar

What game is this?
