When F1 Cars Used ROCKET FUEL! HD

This car produces over 1400 horsepower, largely because it’s running on Rocket Fuel. Back in the 80s, there were no restrictions on the type of fuel car’s used, so being F1 - the teams took it to the extremes. They used a formula that created massive power and allowed the turbos to be turned up higher than ever before - but just one catch - it was extremely toxic and is a known carcinogen! Not to mention it’s tendency to cause engines to blow up! Thanks very much to the following channels, go check them out!

The introduction of 1.5 litre turbo engines brought a load of changes in F1, with the most obvious being the huge increase in power. Some of the cars on the grid had as much as 1500 horsepower - they were absolute rocket-ships!. A big side-effect of the turbos was a massive increase in fuel consumption. The huge turbos pressurise air going into the cylinders, which along with more air - needed more fuel. At points, the cars were using more than 300 litres of fuel per race! That’s nearly three times what today’s cars are allowed to use. The teams needed to find a way to use less fuel - they came up with some ingenious, but dangerous solutions - more on that later.
