<P> Formula One cars are the fastest road course racing cars in the world , owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce . The cars underwent major changes in 2017 , allowing wider front and rear wings , and wider tyres , resulting in cornering forces closing in on 8 g and top speeds of up to approximately 375 km / h ( 230 mph ) . The hybrid engines are currently limited in performance to a maximum of 15,000 rpm and the cars are very dependent on electronics -- although traction control and other driving aids have been banned since 2008 -- and also on aerodynamics , suspension , and tyres . </P>
