Trap Speeds on GP : datas from 1983 to 2006.

[benjabulle]

I would like to propose datas about F1 Trap Speeds, from 1983 to 2006, for all the GP. The first year is online, 1989, and others will follow. Some years are still missing but I hope I could get them all.

Fantastic!

Only think we need to know is where were those speed traps situated.
I know usually it was at the and of the longest street but somethimes
it was also at the start finish line.

Thank you benjabulle!

Thanks Rob, it's not fun to do but I thought it could be interesting, the older datas being not very easy to find. For these ones I don't know where the radar was located, on the 1990 numbers, I have the location of the radar and maybe I could guess for 1989. I will try to post a complete year each month, 1984 could be the next one.

Finally 1984 datas are available, with maxi speeds during qualifications and warm up (in race condition). I think you can learn a lot from them on engines and cars of that season. At that time there were much more differences between the cars and you will see that it's sometimes about 40 Km/h between the fastest and the slowest car. That's here :
