When F1 does the time the circuit was very diferent, more speed. In real lofe Enzo distroy the F1 in circuit. F1 is legend whitout drag weight, this is good for straghts.

Regards

Both Enzo and F1 were tested on the same day by same driver.So enzo wouldn't beat it.Because both were meant to be roadcars not racecar for the road.Even then both of them get beaten by MP4-12C and 458 Italia on most circuits.

to be fair, I think its' more affected by the fact that the Ferrari blocked by Ferrari from thourough testing. The F1 was tested extensively.

nonetheless, the F1 was always going to be a rocket ship and is always going to be more special than pretty much anything.

I am surprised that F1 inspite of being 8yrs older than Enzo beat it both on road and around track.Around tsukuba Lotus 2 Eleven managed around 1:04.24 and at Autodrome it did 1:21.1.So even at Tsukuba Enzo may not win will do probably around 1:04.8s IMO.Like F1,Enzo is also designed to be a road car rather than Carrera GT which sacrifices comfort for track performance.Still Rowan Atkinson said that F1 was faster around goodwood in 2004 issue of Evo.Not bad for an old car.

Interesting comparison. The Ferrari Enzo has acceleration, the McLaren F1 has top speed.

yeah it also went to the moon and came back in just 5 minutes. cars nowadays are so slow. The F1 had like a top speed of 440kph and cornering speeds that would put real F1 cars to shame. Mika Hakkinen was quoted saying that his F1 car was much too slow. If only they could use the BMW engine in his mclaren F1 road car he'd put Michael Schummacher to shame.

0-300 kph in 19.9s (test automotorundsport) in a test a few years back. it did 7min and 11s in the hands of mika hakkinen. and 7min and 23.5s in the hands of jonathan palmer with passengers and traffic. (20800m) 4 seconds longer track than the (20600m) at the nbr.

Yeah!McLaren F1 FTW!

In comarisons like this you can see what a big potencial the F1 has.
It is faster than a 10 years newer Enzo Ferrari.

And Ferrari does not build rubbish, they build exelent and fast cars.

Great job McLaren!
