F1 car vs two EVs
 
I know this is a bizarre drag race, but it's still super interesting to see. The Mcmurtry is absolutely insane. I think I saw another video where one went 0-60 in <2 secs and the 1/4 mile in <8 secs.

I recommend not turning on the audio.

I just wish they'd do this on circuits like they used to do back in the day, like this: https://youtu.be/nm4qzuz7V14 and https://youtu.be/QYCgWkAdmlo <- this one has a 993

Drag racing against a car designed to go around corners?

Why not drag race against a car designed
to drag race, like this one maybe?
(fast forward to 3:40 to see the pass)

From the comments:

When coming off the line, when the rear wheels reach the spot where the front wheels were sitting, the car is doing 100 mph.

I've always been partial to this version.

How about a best of 5?

We all know F1 cars are not dragsters. Only a full track race is going to have a good outcome for the F1 car. One lap of Spa would be fair. ;)

I'm sure that they didn't really go all out on the F1 car. I didn't see any tire warmers or a burn out. I wonder if it was in qualifying or low downforce mode. And then there's gearing. Cars are geared for particular tracks. I'm sure the F1 car COULD be geared to drag race a particular distance and that would improve it's performance.
