We don’t Service Formula 1 cars
Formula 1 cars need 5 – 10 engine rebuild a year. so not taking into account engine placement, the transmission, tyres and suspension, makes a highly-stressed piece of engineering like an F1 engine not suited for a road car
Formula 1 engines are not suitable for daily driving for several key reasons:
-
High Performance, Low Durability: F1 engines are designed for maximum performance over short periods, like a race, and are built to operate at extremely high RPMs (up to 15,000). This focus on speed and power means they are not durable enough for regular, long-term use and would require frequent, expensive maintenance.
-
Operating Temperature: F1 engines need to operate at very high temperatures, which is achieved through highly specialized cooling systems. In normal driving conditions, it would be difficult to keep these engines at their optimal temperature, leading to potential damage or failure.
-
Fuel Consumption: F1 engines consume a large amount of fuel very quickly. Their fuel efficiency is poor compared to regular road cars, making them impractical and expensive for everyday use.
-
Complexity and Cost: These engines are highly specialized, complex, and extremely costly to maintain, repair, and run. Regular car engines are built for efficiency, ease of use, and longevity, unlike F1 engines, which prioritize performance above all else.
For these reasons, F1 engines are simply not practical for daily driving.
