WesleyAPEX / wesleyapex 'Top Fuel' dragsters have the power of 12 F1 cars; they drink fuel LIKE a 747 at takeoff and experience the same G-Forces as astronauts in the space shuttles. All this strength REQUIRES THE tires to be very special to take the car from zero to almost 515 kilometers per hour in less than four seconds. But how do these tires help dragsters achieve 4 and a half Gs under acceleration? Why do they wrinkle like that and how do Dragsters reach incredible speeds? All this now. # Dragsters # WeirdTyres # Driver61
