I wouldn't say I was surprised, but I was like "Really? That slow?" when I saw that IndyCar is about 15 seconds slower than F1. Visually, IndyCar looks like they are like crawling on the circuit vs. F1 like zooming by.

It would be interesting to see how fast IndyCar is vs. Formula 3? It would be a bit embarrassing if it is slower.

I was also surprised at how much slower it looked like they were going than F1. I know they are flying around the track - but most noticeably through the S's it looked like were crawling through them compared to how fast the F1 cars whip around there. Its not a dig at Indy - really enjoyed the race weekend out there - more that F1 has attained ludicrous speed.

I will say that it was a fun weekend & will definitely go back for the Indy series - racing was good & nice not to have to fight the crowd as much as F1. Also the Stadium Super Trucks alone are worth the price of admission.

I think besides power, it's the underlying design will probably limit the overall speed. For example, IndyCar is a bit heavier vs. F1. Also even with more power, F1 will have faster cornering speed as well. Sure with extra power it will help, but overall, IndyCar will be slower because the design has to compromise for both road courses and ovals.

Go F1,, I love them,, there was a lot of talk of whether they were going to have the IndyCar series at Cota because of that reason, they knew the Formula One cars were faster. They were afraid it would upset the fans of the IndyCar series .

Never was a big fan of the IndyCar series I think the cars are kinda uguly .....
