Dream Experience – Drive a Formula 1 car

Jesse Combs and Patrick Mcintyre kicks one off the bucket list by driving a Lotus Formula 1 car. Watch the training it takes to learn how to drive on a racing track to operating a Formula 1 car. The downside, if you spin out one time, your experience is over. Formula 1 cars are the most sensitive race cars on track. The smallest movement, smallest temperature change, a breeze going in different direction, heat in the brakes, tire temperature, hundreds of car modes on the steering wheel, and list goes on and on, can end your race from a spin-out, to crashing into wall over 100 mph. During the pre-season practice in Formula One, World Champ F1 driver Fernando Alonso, crashed due to change in wind that made him lose control and crashing into wall. He suffered a concussion and was pulled out of first race in Melbourne, AU.

Speaking of Fernando Alonso, here is Richard Hammond from Top Gear learning how to race Alonso’s Formula 1 car around a track two laps without stalling or crashing. This is the last V10 Formula 1 car before the regulations required to go smaller and smaller. Currently Formula 1 cars are V6 hybrid with a turbo. Watch his experience and difficulty of driving a F1 car.
