Gutted for you, up until the crash that was some thrilling racing. Spectacular slip angles from wings and slicks cars. Great camera choice and placement too.
@@danielseg996 glad you agree, thought to intensity of the race was too good not to share. It also makes the crash a lot more brutal when you see how the race was going up until then
Well, sorry about the crash. You were running very well for most of the race and challenging for the lead especially going over the curbs. Looked to me your tires went away and lost traction a few corners before the crash. All the best to you on your next race. I’ll be watching!
I was saying, those last 2 corners were your weakest ones and those are so important. Didn't expect YOU to crash though but not surprised it was this corner. Hope not too much damage, video was awesome!
@@kelvinator5088 agreed, I really struggled and got gapped and left exposed on the main straight: Damage is looking around £2.7k all in so not awful, I’ve heard worse for similar. Got lucky it was foam on tyre padding
@@andiminthegarage7081 corner of death! How much damage was it for you? Haha well done. My team managed to get me back out 4 hours later for race 3! Got my best finish yet, P7 😅
@ChapmansCorner I kept it out of the barriers, but I ran over the back someone at the hairpin in qualifying...🤯🤯 Snapped the beam. Got out for the race, though only just!
@@CosmicPrawny thanks! Yes absolutely, I had my best finish so far the race before (P9). Reverse grid for top 10 meant I started P2, never been that high up. So absolutely held the faster guys up behind me, but also held onto P1 who’s a multiple race winner. Until the wall of course! Next time hopefully I’ll stay out of it
@CosmicPrawny appreciate the comment and the good observation. Love discussion my performance realistically with people that know what they’re talking about. I’m very aware I only started this just over a year ago with 2 years A&D karting experience. Croft in 3 weeks! Absolutely buzzing
@@ChapmansCorner Guy who works for me has his race licence. Has an E36 that he races in Classic Touring Cars. He's done well but it's SOOO expensive to race. I have a little Seat FR which is a but of a weapon. I appreciate how hard it is to race. Good on ya! Let me know when you're at Brands next time and we should meet up.
@@CosmicPrawny if he fancies a swap for a test day let me know! Love the Seat FR, bet that’s so fun Appreciate the comment, so much to learn and progress in racing
Great video! Shame about the ending, but I think you discussed that pretty well in your last video. What's it like getting airborne at (I'm guessing) about 80 mph in an open wheeler? Or, perhaps more importantly, what's the landing like given you've got very little suspension travel?
Thanks mate appreciate it. Yeah it’s pretty nuts tbh! With the walls so close it was high pressure. The F1000 actually has fairly soft suspension for a single seater, so it’s not that rough
aaaw you fooled me 😀 in lap 6 it said 7/7 on the top left and I was like "cool, this isn't the race where he crashed in the last corner. P2!", but then... 🙃
@@las10plagas haha yeah sorry, I set the lap timer wrong, one too early! You really felt the same disappointment I did then one the day 😂 I think the full race was so awesome, constant defence from behind and trying to keep up with P1
Do you ever pull the gear clusters and check for wear on the shift dogs built into the gears? Sounded like a lot of false neutrals and jumping out of gear. I guess the extra grip and weight plus downforce of your car over a regular bike would cause them to wear at a fast rate.
@@ChapmansCorner The shift drum and corresponding forks can also give those symptoms but the dogs will take more of a beating in a car setup. As long as your shift linkage is setup well that would be the next place to look. Great videos by the way.
@@raquelbernardi1 check out the previous video I posted! Was with commentary. As some people like to be immersed in racing only, enjoy the engine and racing, I am trying a RawDog Racing playlist with only footage no commentary. Thanks for the comment, still trying to find the right balance for the audience.
