The R&D for a race car (especially an F1) is often far more advanced then that of a buss. In F1 it literally pays to have the best testing equipment, the best labs, etc. F1 prides itself on being as close to the cutting edge as their rules lets them. The famous saying, "To earn a small fortune in F1 racing, you must first spend a large one." Is very telling of this. F1 isn't done to make F1 go fast, its done to make other cars go. :.:.: A standard durability cell for engine testing for a production engine component will typically have a ~20-30 year old sensors, and 15-20 year old data acquisition system. F1 all components will likely be <5 years.
