Race Car acceleration

[laffarguee]

Hello,

For a project, i'm looking for usual car accelerations in m/s2 for :
F1
LMP1
LMP2
GT3
FR

Could you help me to get them or a way to find them on the web.

Thank you

I'd imagine they are all very close, being that all are classes limited more by design and tire size than any power to weight ratios. I have no idea where you might find them, but you picked something that will be tricky to determine.

You could have made it easy and picked conventional cars, drag cars, and drag boats or something of that nature.

For a lot of these cars the normal 0-60mph times are often meaningless. F1 cars for example are designed to punch out of low speed corners so will have much better acceleration from say 40mph-100mph, than they would from 0-60mph.

The jet sprint boats can accelerate quite well. https://youtu.be/CfHsx-UZrnw
This is a river marathon jet boat, being paced by a helicopter.

And would probably be relative to the circuit in many cases, dependant on set up and gearing etc.

Have you thought about writing to race teams and manufacturers?
They have the information and they might respond to a politely written letter that explains what you want the data for, provided they don't consider it a risk to give you data of course. Depending on the nature of your project, in return you can offer them a copy of your results or report.
