Still loving the channel! (Not sure if you remember me from last video, I commented then as well) You seem to have skipped the normal stage where channels suck, and already do great with narration and keeping things interesting, and its clear you know what you are doing. Also, you always say "my cheapest formula car," which implies you have a nicer one... would be awesome to see that on the channel if thats possible. Look forward to the next one!
Thank you, I am trying, glad you like it :) The formula is the only racecar that I have and ever had so far, i didnt mean to imply I have another one. I drove another formula race car that was rented which can be seen in the other videos. And so far that was it. I would love to try to drive better ones as well, hopefully I will get a chance. :) If I do, I will make a video for sure
Both of the cars are great fun and sort of scary for their own reasons. In the Jag I have fear the brake pedal will just go through the floor as it overheats and gets softer as you brake and in the formula its just being quite exposed to everything :D
Hey guys, if you are interested, I could try to change the brake fluid, brake pads and put different tires on the Jag to see if I could get it to beat the formula while stil not compromising the road experience :) I would be interested in doing it, but obviously it would cost a lot of money so if you are super curious as well let me know!
It would be interesting to see what the jag could be able to do with better brakes, or even more power; but also what the formula car would be capable of with something like an open diff, or separating the front suspension into 2 coilovers and a sway bar
bro in starting if you keep the videos shorter than 10 min and to the point that you would absolutely rip the internet. and keep it up bro you are amazing
Thanks so much!! I have more videos planned :) Hope you are going to enjoy. Yeah it seems that under 10 minutes is a good length for a video, it is also what I prefer to watch myself usually
This reminds me of the FSAE race car we built at my university. Never got to drive it but sims had it going over 120mph. Wish I could’ve taken that to the track lol
Thanks! I actually do think the formula is faster than a lot of the cars, I am just finishing a new video where I drive both a road car and the formula to do more of a proper comparison. A lot of the people there are for the first time on track so they don't drive fast, but still 😁
Would be a lot closer racing... the formula vee that I did a few races with is something like that. It is nonstop overtakes, beautiful racing. I think the faster and more difficult to drive the car the more boring the racing becomes...
There could be a lot of improvements, for me the biggest area for improvement is the suspension. Better one would make the car more predictable and easier to drive on the limit. Especially the rear axle is not the greatest, it is easy to bend it too 😅
You should REALLY find a wrecked modern 600cc or even 1000cc bike and do an engine swap in that thing! It would be fairly cheap and net you an easy double HP increase.
It is a small country with very few events. It is not ideal at all, but for most, it is the only opportunity to drive on track without hiring a racing team and doing a season with something serious, for very serious money
Faster but with the additional cost of the trailer and the vehicle pulling the trailer would bring the cost up more compared to some of the street legal cars on the track
that is very true... However, there are still benefits to it. When you crash, it is way cheaper to repair. (I know because I tried :D) Also the formula just keeps going lap after lap without anything overheating and in general it is more engaging to drive :)
Racing as I know it has always had motor sport clubs and such. I have mostly seen those who have money to burn to race. Since the early cars of the 1900’s, many of those race teams were “ gentleman clubs “. Rich dudes. Ferrari made a car company to support his racing obsession. Aston and Martin are a race track and a man’s name to honor the man. Who raced as a hobby. A gentleman with a deep pocket. If you go down the history of racing, you will find it is flooded with these types of people. The internet has put a magnifying glass on car culture as a whole. Looking at the track day scene there are few who build and many who buy expensive cars. Sprite had a commercial about this, “ it’s not the shoes that allow you to dunk “. No matter the car, the build or the parts, expensive doesn’t equal better. Nor will you magically get skills because you paid more. But like many people those who believe this will never be convicted otherwise.
I had a dream of driving on the track always, i found an amazing opportunity to buy the jag, I tried it on track. It was great, but I very quickly realized that for me, it is just too much of a risk. You cannot push to the max, because the brakes and other things overheat, if I crash I would be stranded on the track and would lose an absolute ton of money as a result. The formula is faster, i can push as hard as I want without worying about anything overheating. It remains the same, no regard to how long you have been going and when I crash, it is very cheap to fix and my life can continue normally. I would love to go through the journey of upgrading a road car to be good on track, but for me it is out of budget completely, as its often a rabbithole where you just keep spending. Only to sort the brakes could cost as much if not more than my whole formula car. So in my case I would chose any cheap car to drive on the road and get a dedicated racecar rather than buying some very expensive road car to be taking on track while also using it on the road. From my point of view it is cheaper this way.
Stupid to compare a disposable toy with a cherished road car. Stupid to mix cars of hugely different performance together - with random level drivers. Smart moves - keep cars grouped with similar - keep drivers grouped by similar experience, limit number of cars to a minimum possible. Our club had few incidents involving damage and no collisions between cars. I hit a cone and ripped a wheel-arch liner out - needed a bag of new clips to fix it.
I want to make a budget f1 that is made of aluminum frame and very wide body to increase grip on corners and a cheap wide tires with a 200hp inline4 na engine
Even at 100hp, considering your thing has like no weight or safety or ac or power windows, radio etc etc etc, power to weight ratio. Seems you’re trying to hype it up but…not that classy a way of doing it.
