If Speed = Distance/Time...

[Great Pretender]

...and Time = Distance/Speed,

what therefore do you reckon the speed differential would be with every car length of separation as two VMAXers approach the first corner before the main straight? In other words if the lead car (A) were to reach 100mph (theoretically) before braking for the first turn and car (B) was approximately 1 car length behind, what would its approximate speed be?

I know there are too many variables, but I'm looking for experiences of speed vs car distance separation as one approaches the first turn.

Yes, I'm bored.

Impossible question to answer as cars have differing rates and ranges of acceleration. You are making the assumption that the lead car would be the faster, whereas in reality, it is often not the case.
