With an engine revving at 20,000 RPM this piston has a mass of 2.5 tonnes. It accelerates from 060 miles per hour in 0.003 of a second. And it pulls 10,000 G.

And this is what 20,000 RPM sounds like it’s Mark Webber driving a 2006 Williams with a Cosworth CA2006 and it’s the highest revving F1 engine ever.

It’s been almost 20 years since this engine was released, so why haven’t F1 engines or any engines for that matter gone above this magical 20,000 rpm?

Well, it’s more difficult than you might think, so today I’m going to explain why it’s almost impossible to engines to rev over 21,000 RPM.
