The Renault Formula Racing Car that Chen Xiangbei previously drove could only be considered an entry-level model among lower-tier formula cars, with a maximum horsepower of 200 and a top speed of 260 km/h.
Thanks to the power-to-weight ratio from its ultra-light body, its actual driving performance on the track was already comparable to half of the sports cars.
However, compared to F3 cars, the difference is as vast as comparing a Renault Formula Racing Car to a super go-kart!
In this era, F3 racing has not yet been standardized, and the specifications of the cars are mainly divided into two types.
One is the low-power F3 car with only 270 horsepower, mainly used for national-level competitions and early Asian F3 races, which are rather weak regional events.
The other is the true full-power F3 car, with a chassis provided by Italian Dallara, featuring a 3.4L V6 engine, and a maximum horsepower of up to 380, with an acceleration from zero to 100 in less than 3 seconds!
