⚙️ What is an Internal Combustion Engine (IC)? ⚙️

By definition, an engine that generates motive power by the burning of gasoline, oil, or other fuel with air inside the engine, the hot gases produced being used to drive a piston or do other work as they expand.

Although there are many different designs to an IC, there are three crucial components needed to make one run:

• a fuel to burn
• oxygen to support combustion
• an ignition source to start combustion.

The current F1 engines are six-cylinder engines, constructed in a V-configuration at 90 degrees, with a 1.6-litre displacement.

Do you know what is the most powerful F1 engine ever? 👀

The BMW M12/13/1 is the most powerful F1 engine ever made.
The motor's power would drop to around 1,000 horsepower because boost levels were limited to ensure reliability during races.

What’s an Open-Wheel car? 🤨

Open-wheel cars are described as cars with wheels outside the car’s main body and generally, one seat.

They are among the fastest cars in the World, racing mostly on tracks or temporal street circuits. As you would guess, they have a high degree of technology, making them one of the most expensive racing cars! 🏎

For the geeks 🤓, here are some interesting facts about them:

Top Speed - 231.4 mph (Valtteri Bottas, Mexico Grand Prix 2016)

Minimum Weight - 1,759.29 lbs with driver (F1 cars, 2022)

Max Horsepower - 1,350+ hp (B186 by BMW)

Revs per Minute - 15,000 to 22,000 rpm (F1 cars, 2022)
