There are a few differences between IndyCars & F1 Cars.\nIndycars use a bought-in Chassis, while Formula1 Teams have to build their own Chassis.\nFormula One cars Accelerate, Brake & Corner alot faster than an Indycar can on a "road course" + come out to play in the Wet.\n\nThere are many different "Formula" or Open Wheeled race series..... I'd made a start on listing them off the top of my head but accidently hit the BACK button on this window instead of the one I was looking 'em up to confirm them.\nBut it'll be quicker to look here instead I guess:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_racing

The "formula" in the name is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet.For more details use the link

Formula 1 (Michael Schumacher etc.)\n\nEach Grand Prix is done over a race weekend, this year you can use however many sets of tyres you like, but one engine has to last you two weekends.  Penaltys are given for any blown engines etc.\n\nFriday is Practise\nSaturday is Qualifying\nSunday is the Race\n\nIn practise the cars can do as many laps as they like, with whatever fuel or tyres they like to get used to the track etc.\n\nQualifying rules seem to change each year, basically there is a time window on the Saturday for the cars to go out and put in the fastest lap they can.  The faster the lap the higher up the grid they go, ideally getting first place(Pole Position). \n\nOn the Sunday, after the warm-up lap (to get tyres and engines up to temperature) the race starts after all the red lights have lit up and gone out (there is no flag to start the race).  Cars can pit whenever they like, for tyres, fuel etc. The race is over when the total number of laps are completed by the lead car, this when the chequered flag is waved.\n\nRed flags on the track means stop the race (major accident)\nYellow flags mean caution / slow down (minor accident)\nBlack flags mean disqualification\nBlue flags mean a car that is lapping you needs to overtake.\n\nThis is basically it, but someone else can correct or add to this.

Formula 1 has the highest tech, Le Mans has the most interesting race, but I'm kind of hooked on amateur club racing.  Real people, not just corporate money.

The F1 is all money - nothing else - the 'sport' (if you can call it that) is all business and serves only the people who are involved with running the billion-dollar making circus and giant tobacco companies looking for mega markets in Asia (cigarette sales are dwindled in the West; advertising banned). If you really want to know the murkier aspects of F1... read "THE PITS - the real world of Formula-1" written by BEVERLY TURNER.

Only if a team decides they want to run IRL spec cars with their drivers.  Much like Penske did. The thing is though, if they do a one off race for indy, it's more likely a sign that the team will be moving to the IRL.\n\nRight now, the specs are completely different for the cars, so unless it's a well funded team, you won't see Champcar Drivers at Indy, apart from a free agent driver here and there.

Which Formula? Formula One, Formula Atlantic, Formula Nippon, Formula Renault, Formula 2000, Formula Ford ... ?\nYour question is a bit like asking which is better: An apple or a banana; both are fruit and to some people an apple is better than a banana; others will say it's a banana. The same logic could be applied to racing.\nTechnology-wise, Formula One is streets ahead of any other form of racing, but it is also far more expensive than other forms of racing (The Toyota F1 team is believed to spend as much as $400 million per season). Still, that doesn't make it better.\nWhen it comes to promotion (in North America) NASCAR does a great job.\nPersonally I prefer open-wheel racing, but I'm not about to dump on NASCAR; you really can't argue with the success the series has in North America.\nI really sat on the fence with this one, so, I expect I'll have to be satisfied with the two points for an answer. However, I don't think I've ruffled any NASCAR supporters' feathers. :-)

Formula One is not leaving Indianapolis; there isn't another circuit in the U.S. that comes close to FIA standards and no circuit owner will invest the money needed to bring it up to standard, then pay Bernard Charles Ecclestone upwards of $15 million in sanctioning fees and depend on ticket sales to cover the expenses.\nForget about the idea of a race on a temporary circuit in Las Vegas; the last temporary circuit in the U.S., Phoenix, was a disaster. Phoenix was probably one if the worst tracks ever to host an F1 race. I remember Thierry Boutsen telling us that there wasn't one good corner on that track.\nAll that talk from Bernie about getting nothing from the U.S., having more viewers in Malta than the U.S., was just that, talk. It was designed to get ink (space) in newspapers and magazines, and it seems it did.\nTrue, Indianapolis Motor Speedway needed a major renovation (the old media centre was like a bunker and there were no garages along pit row), but too much money was spent building the road circuit, new pagoda, garages ... to abandon/boot out F1. \nIt won't happen this weekend, but look for an announcement in a few weeks that the U.S. Grand Prix will continue to be held at Indianapolis.

Formula 1 cars may have loads of power, but they also have weight. The winning combo is the best power to weight ratio. in this case, i think the motorcycle would win, only because they can take turns at up to 150 mph well a formula 1 sometimes hase to slow down up to 80 mph. Also since the light weight of a motorcycle their giddy up gets em more acceleration. It would be pretty close... but i think the motorcylce would win.
