Dear Pakwheels club members.I was doing research on the pace of the A1 car as compared to the pace of the F1 car. I had been waiting for Malaysian grand prix as this is the only race apart from China where the A1 cars are running on the same circuit as the F1 cars.
Fastest lap around Sepang Circuit in Malaysia.Length 5.543 km.
Fastest Lap by any F1 car
1'34.223 seconds J.P Montoya 2004.

Fastest lap by A1 car
1'55.373 seconds Alexandre Premat 2005.

Compared to the fact that 2005 F1 cars were slower than 2004 one's and F1 cars will become more slower in 2006 when they move down from 3.0 litre V10 engines to 2.4 litre V8's.The figures of the A1 cars dont look very bad.
Please comment.
