    Eau Rouge Overlap - Formula 1 vs FIA GT cars

     

     To be honest looks a bit fake to me (the speed difference), what do you guys think? Smiley

    The speed differential is spot on. The different lines could be explained by the overlapping images.

    it's not a 100% overlap. for example the viewing angle is slightly different and this gives a different impression of speed for both types of cars. The F1 cars look much too quick in comparison, IMO at least.

    F1 cars take the Eau Rouge flat out at nearly 300 kph. GT cars are almost 100 kph down on them. The speed difference is correct IMO.

    F1 cars are designed for sprint races of some 90 mins, whereas GT cars for much longer ones, 1000km, 24H etc.

    Therefore, the comparison serves no purpose IMO.

    REALZEUS:

    but this video suggests a far higher speed difference than only 100 kph Smiley

     I think the angle with the F1 cars is lower, that's why the speed difference in the beginning is is higher. In the climb it looks more realistic.
