NO, two completely different classes of racecars. To give you an idea, most indy teams, have budgets of 2-3 mil a year where F-1 cars are 10-20 mil a year depending on the team.

F1 cars have some different rules for different cars, but most of the run about a 3L V-10, NA motor that spins upwards of 18,000 RPM.

Edit:F1 no longer use turbos either.

 

They are only a couple hour from my House, Never been there but might have to check them out one of these days.

ok then when I said 19000 I was thinking of F-1 cars

 

Indy Car motors rev to at most 24K, that is just recently for a while their limit was ~20K.

 

Sorry, but thats incorect. IRL limits the motors to a 10,300 rpm limit.

Excuse me F1, whatever the damn car is that looks like a damn airplane on the ground.

 

Comparing Indy cars to F1 car is like comparing a base model Camaro to a fully loaded Corette, while they look similar, they are nothing alike.

After doing a little more research (cuz it sparked my interest ), as of the 06 season the F1 car engine was down sized from the 3L NA V-10 to a 2.4L NA V-8 and have a mandated 19,000 rpm limit. Just a little FYI

 

HA I was right yes!

 

Sorry Im not really into that kind of racing, just remember a video of the new Honda? motor that hit like 22K on the dyno.

 

On your 3rd try
