Red should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
A tractor that pulls a plow has power roughly somewhere around 20 bhp. A formula 1 car car that pulls a plow will not achieve the same acceleration () as the tractor even if it has 800+ bhp. Yes, basically you need as much energy per second as you can get to accelerate, but that energy should be the result of a higher torque. Not higher rpm.
