Drag racing has become a regular feature at Carwow. Drag racing has been a popular sport at em>Carwow. They have raced pickup trucks, actual vehicles and even a Formula One driver. What’s next?
Carwow returned the NSX car and Formula One car to dragstrip for this weekend’s race. This time, however, there’s a third competitor, and it’s the smallest car the team has ever set up on the strip. It is a remote-controlled car.
They didn’t get an RC that you can buy at your local toy shop. This kit comes from Arrma RC and is a very serious piece of kit. It brought along the Limitless remote-control car, which is one of the fastest.
It has a powerful, yet small motor. Active steering keeps it straight at higher speeds. The Arrma Limitedless is also light, which could make it a formidable rival to the Formula 1 car. A fully-built Limitless costs around 1,400 pounds in England (or $1,890 at current exchange rate).
Red Bull Racing supplied the F1 race car that faces off against the RC. This is not a demo car. The championship-winning RB7 was brought by the team in 2011. It was the championship-winning RB7 from 2011, and Sebastian Vettel won the title with it.
The RB7 won 12 of 19 races in the 2011 season. The RB7’s V8 is a 2.4-liter Renault engine with 750 horsepower (559 kilowatts). There are supercars with more horsepower, but the F1 car weighs in at just slightly over 1,650 lbs (under 775 kg). David Coulthard drives it, so it isn’t just any random driver.
Although the NSX isn’t a fast car, it is one of the slowest. The NSX is the largest of the three, at 3,880 pounds (1,700kg). It has 581 horsepower (433 Kilowatts). The NSX is, in fact, the ‘camera vehicle’ of this group.
We won’t spoil the surprise, but it will be a hard match between Arrma Limitless and RB7.
