[quote][i]Originally posted by StrawsSXi[/i] things is, how wide id the tyres on an F1 car? the rears are huge. therefore the contact patch is quite substantial. so times that by 4 gives u the amount of rubber that the an F1 car has to get the pwer down with and hold the car to the road while cornering and braking Now, take a MotoGP bike It has a contact patch around the size of a 50p piece of which it does its accelerating, braking, tho the atch can increase due to banking when cornering. Also, althought both vehicles are developed in wind tunnels, the aerodynamics of a bike are to cut thru the air cleanly, therefore, while making top speed possible down a straight, they dont help it corner (the rider helps this by shifting his weight round the bike while cornering) Now an F1 car has various and many aerodynamic devices to help it stick to the road. these help "push" the car into the ground, (think of them as upside plane wings, lol) these help the car remain stable as ait travels at high speed (due to them only really having an effect over 100mph) [/quote]
