Indycars can run on oval tracks but F1 cars don't. So, comparing speed directly is pointless. However, both cars are clearly visible in the comparison photos. The Indycar's aeroshield is more distinctive than the F1 cars', but the F1 cars' front and back wings might flex. The difference between them is ultimately determined by their money.
IndyCar North America is a circuit
IndyCar races are mostly held in North America. However, there is one race that takes place in Canada. F1 races usually last approximately one and a half hours, but IndyCar races are limited to two hours, although they can be changed if necessary. While most events are located in North America there are some races with a global appeal.
The scoring is similar to that of Formula 1, with the winner receiving 50 points, second and third receiving 40 points, and so on. IndyCar's top three drivers receive five extra points. The two most successful teams also get five more points. Indy 500's first and second-place finishers get five points. However, this does not apply to all teams.
IndyCar chassis can only be made to standard by one manufacturer
IndyCar has the same chassis design as Formula One. The chassis manufacturers use the same manufacturing processes and there are no significant differences between them. Aerodynamics are the only difference between these two types of cars. The engines used by IndyCars are twin-turbocharged 2.2-litre V-6 engines from Chevrolet or Honda. These engines can produce between 550 and 700 bhp depending on the boost and surface.
The IZOD IndyCar Series is making investments to increase technical staff and facilities, positioning itself as a technical leader. In addition, the Series has formed an ICONIC Advisory Committee to review next-generation chassis and engines. The group is comprised of retired Air Force Gen. William R. Looney III (ret.), Rick Long, Eddie Gossage, Neil Ressler, and Neil Ressler. The ICONIC Advisory Committee consists industry leaders who give input on the next generation chassis and engines.
IndyCar can go faster around ovals than F1 cars
First, the big question about the differences in the Indy and F1 cars is whether Indycars can reach higher speeds. Indy cars can run on oval tracks while F1 cars have to go around long twisty roads. While both cars can travel at high speeds, Indy car are more efficient on oval tracks because of their higher downforce.
The other difference between the two is the types of fuels that are used in each. IndyCar cars consume more ethanol and F1 cars use less leaded fuel. IndyCars come with carbon fiber brakes, while F1 cars are equipped only with traditional braking systems. F1 cars can withstand wet conditions better than the oval-track version, but have better braking systems.
