I was watching the Maylaysia Grand Prix, and the telemetry showed that the Ferraris tachs were hitting 18K. I was expecting they were around 13K. Are these extremely short stroke motors?
Just wait till the Japan Grand Prix, the telemetry will show the toyotas and hondas hitting about 20k. I remember last year (or was it 2 years ago) that for one to just finish was like they won the race to the crowds!quote:

You need to figure stroke (piston speed) in before you compare how difficult it is to make an engine hang together at high revs.quote:

18,19K rpm doesn't really seem that high to me. I've owned motorcycles that do 14K easily.
