Are formula 1 racing cars more or less polluting than conventional cars?
Answers:
If they did the same mileage as a normal road car, then they would pollute more, however as they only do a few thousand miles a year any pollution they do contribute is negligible.
I AM ROCK is yet again wrong about the engines - they are normally aspirated, no turbos (as he claimed a few days ago), no superchargers!
More, but only marginally. it's all down to the skid-marks.
not sure but i'd have thought more but seeing as they aint used every day and only for the sheer hell of a damn good day racing i'm sure it dont matter
it would be more as they run at a higher revs per minute, that means they burn more fuel, more pollution.
In that their fuel consumption is about 50 times higher than the average road car, much more polluting.
Is that what you meant?
Formula 1 cars are more polluting than average cars - per car. But there are so few F1 cars compared to normal cars that overall normal cars produce far more pollution
Probably more. However, I suspect the cars in the 90's, running with that foul-smelling exotic fuel, were really guilty of polluting the atmosphere. Anything that emitted such an odor must have been a real pollutant.
Pre car mile traveled they are polluting far more because they get worse gas mileage (about 3mpg) and don't use mufflers or catalyitc converters.
Who really cares? Breathable air is overrated.
No, race cars lack pollution controls generally. They rob performance.
The more the fuel burnt more is the exhaust and pollution. It is a supercharged engine, it obviously has more exhaust gases. Since the number of car is very few the pollution done by these car hardly matters.
Most of the answers are right as far as they pollute more for a variety of reasons including high RPM and no smog equipment; but I am rock is wrong when he says they are supercharged.
although the burn is 50times more, in my opinion they are polluting less due to the fact that thier fuels are product of extensive research, just like what shell is doing, faster fuel for cleaner air...and if f1 cars are polluting more, i think there be sactions on FIA regarding the matter in countries where they held thier races.
i think it's less because f1 car not use diesel oil.
Hey, I like the smell!
THEY MUST HAVE SOME POLLUTION CONTROL DEVICE..BESIDES ONES IN A WHILE HARDLY MATTERS.ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT ALONSO SHOULD WIN
Probably more polluting because they use more fuel. But there are only 22 of them, so the total pollution is negligable.
definitely more polluting. they burn more fuel then regular cars and they are more noisy, so they are the source of different types of pollution
