This high-speed video features an F1 impact test, recorded with the i-SPEED 3 camera at 2000 frames per second and a resolution of 1280x1024. The test focuses on the performance of carbon fiber nose cones, which are designed to decelerate the car in a controlled linear manner during an impact. Any deviations from linear deceleration can result in peaks in the G-forces experienced by the driver. This video tracks the nose cone's movement and accurately plots the deceleration curve to ensure linearity and assess performance.
