Technology? No man, it's called "bullshit". F1 is overpriced nowadays simply because it's....F1. Technology is cheap nowadays. It's back then that F1 technology was super expensive. Nowadays even carbon fire is cheap.
Back then they were at the limit of engineering achievements. There were very few significant rules and most cars were flying bombs that could disintegrate at any moment. Nowadays, technical knowledge is much, much higher, and F1 became more of an exercise in constraint than a search for engineering pioneering... Cars then could be faster, if limitations on engine specs and ground effects were lifted, but nowadays cars could be considerably faster to the point of being undriveable... Unfortunately, technology has taken out some of the fun of racing: that raw feeling that technical limits are being pushed is no longer there.
I doubt this would be the result in real life. This garbage F1 we have now has less power, is much heavier and has a lot more drag. That little Brabham was lighter, had less drag and much more power. With a set of new sticky F1 grade rubber it would run laps around new F1 garbage.
No it wouldn't. You're forgetting that the aero is massively superior on modern F1 cars. The entry speeds in Parabolica, Variante Ascari and Lesmo 1 and 2 are far, far higher than a 1984 Brabham. The Brabham also has a conventional manual box whereas the modern F1 car has a much faster semi-automatic with more ratios. Plus, the F1 car has DRS. This is why it accelerates at least as quickly as the Brabham despite having less power.
@@80sf1fan2 Brabhams were great with Piquet but even a crappy Ferrari SF1000 struggling for 5th in the standings would beat this. A MaRussia wouldn't be that far off to be honest.
You joking? Those 80's turbos are, I'm sorry to say, about 15 seconds slower per lap. See for example f1db.de for a nice database and check tracks on racingcircuits.info. The trick is to pick different tracks that had the same layout during a period of time and combine those periods in order to compare the lap times they did in the 80's with today's
Let’s see the BT46B
Where I can get this Brabham mod?
Idk tell me if you find it ;D
Brabham Won !
The kick of that than budget was 45 million today budget 1/2 billions. Technology

This is the 1983 Brabham world champ with Piquet.
Andrea Sanfratello no 1984
First, nice gameplay!!

Ferrari has hundreds of engineers vastly superior to the ancient Brabhams handful.

I just love how the Ferrari struggles on the straights with the 37-year-old over 1000bhp BMW M12 turbo...
The bt52 won
