Formula 1 is known for its pursuit of extreme downforce, intricate aerodynamic components, and high-speed capabilities, while LMP1 racing prioritizes efficiency, reliability, and adaptability for endurance races.

Aug 12, 2015 · The LMP1-H cars are far more powerful than anything in F1, but weight, a heavy reliance on ERS, and downforce keep the sports cars from being closer in a lap time battle.
