$5000 Normal Engine vs $10 Million Formula 1 Engine

This one's for Ken Block.

Formula 1 engines are INSANE - let me explain.

This is a 1.6 litre, turbocharged engine from a Ford Fiesta ST, and it produces a maximum of 197HP.

AND THIS is a 1.6 litre, turbocharged engine from a Formula 1 car, and it produces over 1000 horsepower.

But what makes them so different? Well, to start the F1 engine costs 2 thousand times more, at around 10 million dollars.

So why do they cost so much? Let’s get into it.

rip ken block. a true inspirer. dreams were born from watching him

[chrisleach]

Rip to one of the most badass drivers ever.

I machine F1 engines for a living and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. We really do record just about everything at every stage of the process. It's less about finger pointing at people and more just so we can look back and eliminate anything that did go wrong and mitigate it in future. RIP ken

Ken block is one of the sickest dudes to live. Keep shredding tires up there❤️

[XxSpecOpsxX]

its not often someone is iconic enough to be beloved through all the different disciplines of motorsport, super cool of you to dedicate the outro to Ken Block!

The base size of a component is not called tolerance, that is dimension.
There are however two types of tolerances when it comes to machining a part:
Dimensional tolerances is the first which look at each measurement individually.
Form and location is the other which handles things like parallel surfaces, flatness etc.
(I haven't worked with manufacturing parts for F1 but for gas turbine engines and other high precision applications.)

Ken was one of the guys who got me into cars. Really was one of my idols, RIP.

1:54 "I do really miss that sound"
We all do, Scott, we all do.

[murrmaid]

class act with the dedication. RIP to a legend of the sport and a trailblazer of industry.

I used to watch F1 races with my father. He's gone now, and I'm taking greater interest in this sport, to honour him. I just imagine my father's sitting next to me and watching this cool stuff, and learning all these things that were never shown on television in the 80's and 90's.

[colindouglas]

Great outro for Ken. No long winded explanation needed. Just the dedication and a reminder of a few of the best moments. Cheers!

To be fair to the ST, the F1 engine alone only makes 450ish hp. The hybrid system gets it to 1000, and the turbos run much higher boost pressures. Another thing: V8 era F1 engines make similar hp per liter, but are naturally aspirated.

I miss the sound of those high revving engines also and I wish they were back. I also miss the refueling in F1 because of the strategy changes made the racing so much more interesting.

[neiv]

So sad to see Scarbs was not offered a proper mic for Christmas 😥

[zbatchDOC]

Love the Ken Block Outro.

He will be missed.

As an automotive engineer, I can explain regarding the high *(revs)* numbers. The 4000 RPM on a road car is not the same as the 4000 rpm in a F1 car. Let me explain:

1. The Bore of the F1 engine is larger than a normal road car engine making the stroke of the engine smaller, thus the piston only needs a small amount of distance from Bottom Dead Center (BDC) to Top Dead Center (TDC)

1a. A typical road car bore X stroke dimension is from 79mm X 84mm
1b. An Assumed F1 bore X stroke dimension is from 95mm X 55mm
1c. This makes the distance from BDC to TDC shorter making the revs higher.

Most car manufacturers now are not doing so because of the sound regulations that it has to meet.

But yes, this is in simple terms on why F1 engines are such. But this calculation is for a typical 1.6L engine. To achieve higher revs in a bigger cylinder engine is relatively the same thing. Just increase the bore dimensions and automatically you will have a smaller stroke dimension.

This calculation can be calculated in:

*_(π/4 × b2 × s × c)_*

b = bore dimension
s = stroke dimension
c = number of cylinders

*note* : The calculation I made above is just for an example.

Love my Focus ST and wish they never stopped making them here in the US. I'd love to drive or own a new '21-'22 model

[aragao]

the part where you say the F1 engine is seized when cold is not correct, they can be started when cold, but because of the tolerances they would wear out prematurely

[rjung_ch]

RIP Ken, one heck of a driver, we all will miss you.

Much respect to you Scott for your simple outro honoring the legendary Ken Block. What a performer he was in all of the motor sports he drove in. Always putting smiles on people’s faces from X-Games to Gymkhana. Rest in peace and keep shredding tires in heaven. 🙌🏻 🛞
