Yep... for TOCA cars, about 300-350. For Aussie V-8 supercars, I don't
know maybe 500. But CART cars squash them all (save killer drag cars),
even F1... about 900+.

correct
880-950
correct.
dunno
700-750
But occasionally wrong. :o)
On a practical note:
BHP/ton
CART (taking 950 bhp and 810kg weight) = 1191bhp/ton
F1 (taking 820bhp and 600kg weight) = 1388bhp/ton
NASCAR (taking 750bhp and 3400lb weight) = 494bhp/ton
Anyone know the weight of Touring and WRC cars?
BTW, CART min weight is specified for dry (no driver) at 750kg, so
I've added 60kg for an average driver. F1 min weight includes driver,
hence the weighing at the end of a race.

>Anyone know the weight of Touring and WRC cars?
FWD Super Touring = 975kg/2145lbs
RWD Super Touring = 1000kg/2200lbs
4WD Super Touring = 1040kg/2288lbs
V8Supercar = 1350kg/2970lbs
WRC unknown sorry

One thing to remember about CART vs F1 motors, though - CART gets turbos,
albeit 'small' ones at 45 pounds (or maybe it's 40 now, or something) , F1
is fully naturally aspirated, mostly V10s and a few Ford V8s, no more
V12s...CART is like 1.5 or something liter V8s...IRL is 3 or 4 liter
naturally aspirated Aurora V8s (OK, one or two Infinitis...)

The Champ actaully only has 40 inches of water for boost not 40 PSIG. 40
PISG would be over three atmospheres and I don't think the motor would last
a qualifing session much less a 200 mile race. 40 inches of water is
around 5 PSIG of boost. PSIG is pounds per square inch gauge. Champ car
engines are also 2.65 liters of displacement not 1.5 liters of
displacement. Hope this dispells any myths here.
