How fast do the F1 cars go on their tracks?

0 to 100 and Cornering Speed
# The average 0 to 100 mph (124 kph) speed of an F1 is between 3.2 and 3.8 seconds. This metric will vary, depending on available engine power, mechanical grip and the aerodynamic efficiencies of a particular F1 car. High-speed corner velocities for these cars can range from 182.5 mph (290.00 kph) through Spa Francorchamps' right-handed Eau Rouge corner to 196.5 mph (316.24 kph) through Suzuka's R1 left-right corner sequence. ...

The top straight-line speed on a conventional racing circuit was measured at just under 200 mph (198.98 mph) at the GP of Japan round at Suzuka during the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship. "
