Motorsport fans often ask the question: How fast is a Formula One car, really? The answer is “horrendously”. This experiment has been conducted by a few teams in the past.
At the recent Australian Grand Prix spectators were treated to two local heroes Mick Doohan and Casey Stoner, driving a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and an Aussie V8 Supercar respectively, taking on the championship-winning Red Bull driven by David Coulthard. Keep in mind that the circuit at Albert Park is very short with Formula One lap times around the 1 min 30 mark.
