The best on track battle I've had in F1000 This time we got straight into the race action! No rear cam for this unfortunately, but plenty of drama in front. Oulton Park Race 2
Well Done! Crazy how close to the limit for both the car and driver. Thanks for posting and I hope you have a great season in' 24 Thanks for posting and I subcribed.
Appreciate that! I’m about 3 seconds off the top drivers currently, roughly half of that is due to old tyres vs new. So I wouldn’t say limit of the car, there is a lot left in it, but definitely at the limit of my ability and the tyres which makes it fun
@@ChapmansCorner I've got a Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor but only got a thrust master ts-xw setup for now, I was going to build my own SIM rig but I haven't got the space, (just had to come off the game, got pole position at Suzuka in F4 and someone took me out on the first corner, I felt like Lewis Hamilton then 😂)
Appreciate it! I hope we run the full layout next year, apparently that section past the hairpin is wild at top speed and the banked corner. I hate the hairpin haha I’m trying to find an F1000 mod for AC. Is the Mazda similar?
Great race dude. Really enjoyed that (besides the bloody camera setting making the front of the car move around 😤) You really have a crack man, its great to watch 🙂
Appreciate that! Sorry for that, I am working on it. Took off hypersmooth for testing before the race, but attached to the bodywork which shook it so much the footage is useless. I was fuming. Lesson - attach to the chassis not bodywork if you're turning off hypersmooth.
That was close to disaster and you must have been crapping yourself! Well done for collecting yourself up and keep your head. The cars look so very twitchy, I guess throttle control is vital? BTW - I didn’t hate your head talking lol.
Haha yes for those few seconds I thought it was game over. Yes twitchy but they seem to be quite forgiving, look how many times I save the car and I’ve done 3 races now. They do exactly what you want, they’re predictable. I had 4 weekend old tyres on though and most other drivers have new tyres so that’s a big factor; 1 second difference at least
@@ChapmansCorner true, looked like the car was predictable and forgiving. You always had time to catch it. Watching on it’s probably scarier because when driving you’re feeling it and it’s okay. If you consider hiring for a track day then let me know , it might help pay for new boots lol
@@povdrivekls8369 I wish I could mate! My body work wobbles too much to switch it off. Clamp is too much faff when I need to take the engine cover off (which is a lot) I’m trying to work on a solution, it’s tough
No, it’s just racing! Fortunately that wasn’t much damage. I can imagine if it’s obviously your fault there might be a situation where they might come asking for money!
I didn’t know that! That’s unlucky. These cars are so unreliable haha Shame he went out of the race with me and Rob, would have been better with 3 of us. If you saw the video before, me and you dad had a great battle for a few laps! Got the rear cam as well
Bro use every corner so bad, i will be faster both of them by one second, i was watching and screaming “ what you doing take the apex right way” but it was so fun to watch great race
Hey man, im 16 and i rlly am struggling to try find my footing in motorsport due to cost issues. How do you afford it all? the transport, the car, the fuel, entries. I rlly wanna race for a career and im just looking for a bit of advice please.
That’s the problem most people face. Check out my other video, how to get into F1000. I cover the basics, the main part is - are you karting yet? That is the cheapest and most common way into motorsport. All of the greats started there. I started at 31 and I have a good job. If I was you at 16, I would go karting as much as possible, get good, enter competitions and meet people. Then next season go to loads of car races and meet people in the pits, maybe get a job with a team whilst trying to improve driving
Id go for plan B. Get a good career...make lots of money. Then be a gentleman racer on the bankroll. Realistically you are already 10 years late starting racing (in karts) and have almost no chance of any kind of professional career (unless very wealthy). I grew up with rallying in my family and friends who raced saloons very sucessfuly...and one who raced F5000 against the F1s greats in the 70s, he didnt make F1 for one main reason...no money. My old man told me racing was like burning bundles of £50 notes. Meantime go karting....even if its just occasional arrive-and-drive. It will teach you the racecraft and learn what its actually like wheel to wheel...and its nothing like you see on the telly on a Sunday. Its more fun...but you also get to pick up the pieces and the repair bills.
