Actually you're wrong current F1 cars have probably the highest drag of any racing cars on earth, and with banned blown diffuser, active suspension, double diffuser, fan cars, ground effect etc the only downforce they can get is from the wings and the shape of the cars itself and the drag to downforce efficiency is poor, just look at Monza this year they can barely reach 320kph sometimes on the home straight and that's the lowest for a long long time.

This video is very telling about the way those cars were, especially in the graphic. As a sim Racer I have raced this car a lot in asseto corsa, it's one of my favourites. It's an animal to tame especially on the brakes. But every video I watch about braking techniques bang on about trail braking and getting to 100% trailing off the pressure through the corner, to the apex, but when you try in something like this it's nearly impossible, but no one explains pre abs cars and how they react, because he's not braking late at 100% he's braking earlier and at 50 to 60 % pressure and then feeding the power through the corner before the apex.

MikeVonDoom It wouldn't go that fast at Spa. In fact, it didn't go that fast anywhere. In qualifying for the 1989 Le Mans 24 Hours, the Sauber driven by Kenny Acheson, was measured at 400 km/h (about 248 mph). The other Saubers were doing 385 - 390 km/h. Acheson did not get pole position this way so even with the 5.8 km straight, that top speed actually resulted in a _slower_ lap time than the car of Schlesser. The gearing for Spa would be completely different and I doubt it more than 320 km/h is possible.

Straight line speed is not that important at Spa, except up the hill on the Kemmel straight and that is not long enough for this car to get to 400 km/h. It might get to 300, maybe 310.
