If schumacher's car were built to be 500 feet high

Question

but with the original shape and everything of it were just proportionally enlarged without any structure changing, do you think it would run even slower, faster or as fast?

Answer 1

The standard racing car is about three times as it is tall. So we have a 1500 feet long racer and it ain't gonna take any turns in any known tracks.

As for the technical answer, it would go slow. Drag has a squared relation with the area, which means if you double your surface area the drag quadruples. As you increase your vehicle's dimensions almost a hundred times, your engine power is increased 100 times, but the drag increase would be much higher.

Answer 2

Of course it wouldn't, wind pressure would make it unlikley to move very fast at all, and tyres that size, it woul never turn a round.

Of course it would be impossible to make as the ammount of carbon fibre needed would be tremendous, though I'm sure Schumacers ego would more than fit the cockpit.

Answer 3

well if each and every thing is enlarged(including the engine)....then yes it must run with same speed and everything must be same.........but if u may have asked it to an physics professor...he may have been more happy to answer that than us..................................if ur dream comes true...than...i would stop dreaming of becommin an f-1 drver and would prefer being an farmer......really!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

faster for sure. it would have so much power to spin the earth twice as fast as it rotates now!

Answer 5

bigger tires = faster

Answer 6

It would be much slower because the air resistance experienced would be huge!

Answer 7

It would be slower as he wouldn't be able to reach the pedals...

Answer 8

What are you gonna do with this info? you are scarin me  :(

Answer 9

Slower on the straights due to drag but quicker in the corners because of the increased mechanical grip, providing the track is also scaled up.  

Answer 10

it would be very simple, he would need a helicopter to fly him into the car and then he would fall down to his death when trying to take place in his cockpit...I think we respect Michael too much to see that happen.

Answer 11

are you smokin again?

But seriously, if a had to answer, I would say it would stay the same. Not until you built it to the height of more than 3,000 plus feet would you see a substantial drop in horse power due to the decreasing oxygen.

Answer 12

As far as I know, Schumacher doesn't have a formula 1 car any more because he left Ferrari 2 years ago.

Answer 13

i have no idea. let me know if you find out
