Lee - Double Posting when Im not on the site doesnt make you look clever!


Anyway.

Veyron on the Hard Shoulder
F1 doing 100 mph in the outside lane - Rolling Start

As they draw level they both go for it. The F1 is accelerating from 100-200. Yes they will hit 200 at (more or less) the same time, (BV first) but the F1 has a head start in actual positioning on the road.

Its difficult for me to explain, but the F1 is further down the road when they both hit 200. So although they are doing the same speed, the F1 is in the distance.

My belief is that you cant catch the F1 if they are both running at the same speed. (obviously) So although the BV will close the gap to the F1 I dont think it will catch it. Not inside a few minutes anyway.

I'll try and find the figures to back that up. (not made easy as Bugatti dont publish MPH speed only KMH) Its about distance travelled in the time it takes the cars to get to 200. So I need a acceleration over distance travelled graph for both cars. And Im sorry to say this isnt really my strongest area.

So bear with me on that. Or are you going to start posting "well?" when I'm asleep

If Im wrong, Im wrong, but I read something similar on another site, and it kind of makes sense.
