Watch A 23-Year-Old F1 Car Destroy A Brand New IndyCar Around Laguna Seca



This late ’90s McLaren F1 car was designed by Adrian Newey who has ten F1 World Constructors Championships under his belt and was piloted by the dream team of David Coulthard and Mika Häkkinen. Its highly-strung 3.0-liter Mercedes V10 produces around 800 horsepower far above 10,000 rpm, and the car weighs only 1,300 pounds, so one can only imagine the acceleration forces involved here. The Dallara DW12 makes about 675 horses on short ovals, with an extra 60 hp available on push-to-pass, and weighs around 1,650 lbs. It’s clear to see that the odds favor the 23-year-old F1 machine, but by how much is the question.
