StreetCowboy Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 How many cars are there in Le Tour de France, compared to Formula 1? my understanding is that in Formula 1 there are 22, plus a Safety Car. I would love to cycle on closed roads, but not when there are more cars following me than a Formula 1 race. How does Formula 1 manage without camera motorbikes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOTS of fixed position cameras with very highly skilled operators. Spider cams, line cams and at least one heli-cam. A motorbike wouldn't stand a chance keeping up with an F1 car. EDIT: Oh, and don't forget several onboard cameras attached to every car, plus helmet cams. Edited August 27, 2023 by Woof999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2long Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 There's certainly more overtaking in the cycle race, and a lot fewer spoilt pr*cks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cycle raced on the Monaco F1 circuit in the 1980s. I criterium that was held in the week before the F1 race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last Grand Prix in the Netherlands there were 86 overtaking manoeuvres in one lap, a new record. GP drivers deserve every penny they get, considering the risks. And there's a lot more drugs in cycling. I love both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safety car only comes out when the speed needs to be controlled due to an incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
