"By being a racing driver you are under risk all the time. By being a racing driver means you are racing with other people. And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver because we are competing, we are competing to win. And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th. I race to win as long as I feel it's possible. Sometimes you get it wrong? Sure, it's impossible to get it right all the time" - Ayrton Senna -
nice driving! Just quick question does gearbox allow clutchless down shift? And car is on road tyres? how do you like the car compare to other formula cars? Thanks!
+Jackswigert Plays I remember back when I was 12, I told my parents I want to race cars. They thought I was out of my mind! It's a big step for them to take, putting their child in (in their minds) a death trap, but through persuasion and also determination, enough to move their decision, you may have a chance to try it out. A racing school is the perfect place to start!
How do you upshift and downshift in these cars? Because i know that in a normal car to upshift you do Clutch in, Shift, Clutch out, gas. And to downshift it is Brake, Clutch in, Blip, Shift, Clutch out is it any different in these cars? do they have sequential transmissions?
+MikeTheMiata it is sequential; to up shift you lift the throttle, pull lever back, gas. Downshift is actual heel-n-toe, except pushing lever forward. That's it!
This is probably wrong as I am coming from a simulator, but can't you left foot brake and fake revmatch while bang shifting down by blipping the throttle after getting into gear?
Well, fortunately, we racing drivers either have a tiny sense of self-preservation, or make some good judgement calls in split seconds. This video is a good example of what happens when there is neither!
Connor DeYoung The most people on the forums say that the Skip Barber of rFactor 2 is better and the Skip of iRacing is simcade with the purpose to capture the noobs players, to no scare him.
no arm restraints? You saw how that suspension broke... now imagine that being your arms snapping in a rollover. I figured you were going over when those wheels touched...
I wouldn't be that hard on yourself. You were passing on the inside and the car on your left braked way too hard and pulled to the right. It was a racing thing!
Well... If you no longer go for a gap, you're no longer a racing driver ;) Lack of experience + frustrations = misjudgment. Haven't made those mistakes since!
I appreciate the kind words haha. Still not where I wanna be as a driver yet, too inconsistent and makes mistakes too often. But we’re getting there, little by little!
+bailey3123 oh the mechanic's action. They tried to fixed it as soon as possible, with the hope of getting me back out and racing. However my steering rack was bent and that was what stopped them from safely releasing me.
No, you have to press clutch and ideally heel and toe to down shift - the main difference between skip and most formulas is the tire, they are radial, for conventional car use, can be driven on rain or dry conditions - in this case corners are slower or car tend to oversteer
Hum, interesting, tks for the update - it might depends on the track - on Road America there's a hard break with 2 or 3 gear reduction - not sure about car behavior on this without foot work - anyway doing go kart style could same some precious milliseconds
+Samer Ghosn oh some drivers (Neil Verhagen, the new RB junior, in particular) literally bang the gears down and just let the rear wheels chirp. Personal preference really
I love how the first reaction of the mechanics is the kick the shit out of the wheel back into it's original, but damaged, position.
Wow, I came back here 3 years later without knowing I said, this and this was my exact thought...again.
When you have fast repair IRL
you've got wheel damage
LOOOOOOOL!!! I remember hearinf that at least once a day back in the days.

Carles Ytube shit I just made this joke and realized I was a year late
Looked like NetCode

4 incidents
This is a 4 incidents xD lol
I counted 7x with 3 off tracks.
Interesting that your front wing was already out of alignment before the impact.
+spearfish25 well... these are rental race cars with make-believe wings, as long as they stay on it's fine haha
The sad thing about this is that that's how fast it happens. You barely get any time to react. Tough break man.
Thanks. Just keep learning and getting better!
nice driving! Just quick question does gearbox allow clutchless down shift? And car is on road tyres? how do you like the car compare to other formula cars? Thanks!
Nice foldable wheel ! by the way nice video , thanks for sharing
Racing incident, shit happens like this haha. If you are going to race, you'll just have one of these days. Everyone has them, you are not alone.
+Jackswigert Plays Thanks, although this is over two years ago and I can promise you it wasn't the only one of those days!
You still racing?
+Jackswigert Plays YEP! I'd suggest you checking out some more content on my channel, hope you like what you see!
Any advice for a 15 year old? I really want to try skip barber, but I am scared my parents will say no.

Dude he was speeding on the corners losing grip and falling out the track, that's why he was getting passed so easy
new damage model looks so real
What happened with the motor when accelerating?
Under hard cornering, the car refused to accelerate... No idea why to this day ha!
Do these have power steering? I would love to drive one of these for fun at a school holy crap the next level up over a go-kart looks like to me!
These do not
When you set your POV to a high point
too bad about the result, your pace looked good though!
Yea... It wasn't the finest or luckiest race I had. That problem with the engine really messed me up, but the accident was just 100% my fault.
Your safety rating must have taken a huge hit!
😂😂😂

+MikeTheMiata it is sequential; to up shift you lift the throttle, pull lever back, gas. Downshift is actual heel-n-toe, except pushing lever forward. That's it!
So no double clutching?
+MikeTheMiata nope.
This is probably wrong as I am coming from a simulator, but can't you left foot brake and fake revmatch while bang shifting down by blipping the throttle after getting into gear?
mmm running at a sweet 48fps
Cool race mate
Ah yes. The crash damage report $$$$$$
Barber my tyre is gone
Wait that's not right
That looked bad.. lemme know if your alright
I don't have any racing experience, but how is this not more common. I feel like this would happen at least once a race?
Well, fortunately, we racing drivers either have a tiny sense of self-preservation, or make some good judgement calls in split seconds. This video is a good example of what happens when there is neither!
+Jackie Ding What Skip Barber is most realistic, rfactor 2 or iRacing?
***** haven't done much of RFactor 2 so can't say for sure, but iRacing is pretty damn good.
+de5letras +1 on iracing. i love it! when going between real life and virtual iRacing is the closest physics wise.
Connor DeYoung The most people on the forums say that the Skip Barber of rFactor 2 is better and the Skip of iRacing is simcade with the purpose to capture the noobs players, to no scare him.
Bummer. So I know you have to pay for the damage. Do they give you much verbal grief about it?
Hey that's me!! Lol
no arm restraints? You saw how that suspension broke... now imagine that being your arms snapping in a rollover. I figured you were going over when those wheels touched...
At least you were ok.
I wouldn't be that hard on yourself. You were passing on the inside and the car on your left braked way too hard and pulled to the right. It was a racing thing!
Lehmann Peters Thanks for the kind words!
wait why did he wave by the other cars ?
Engine wasn't running right for a bit. Seems like it fixed itself though.
So many 1x's...🤣🤣🤣
What the hell were you trying to do mate? he he
Well... If you no longer go for a gap, you're no longer a racing driver ;)
Lack of experience + frustrations = misjudgment. Haven't made those mistakes since!
You wanted to move your way up in the field with that problem on the car? I don't quite see a racing driver there! Sorry
No worries, it was my mistake and I take responsibilities for what happened!
@@wokowen cut to 3 years later and hes a pretty well rounded race car driver, probably due to your constructive criticism.
I appreciate the kind words haha. Still not where I wanna be as a driver yet, too inconsistent and makes mistakes too often. But we’re getting there, little by little!
Don't crash into what you can see
06:02 This guy could destroy his knee just for a stupid car. You know, meniscus and ligaments of his knee.
seriously, what was the big fucking hurry??
+bailey3123 ummmm, that there was a race going on?
he crashed out of the race. it was over for him. he was told to park it. Again, what's the hurry? what am
I missing?
+bailey3123 oh the mechanic's action. They tried to fixed it as soon as possible, with the hope of getting me back out and racing. However my steering rack was bent and that was what stopped them from safely releasing me.
I drove these cars on iracing. They're a lot of fun though I'm trying to get used to driving with a stick or sequential whatever these cars use.

Wow.
and to think about F1 drivers crashing multi millions dollars cars but still complaining afterwards

4x/17x
Word? This track is on forza
D n I think so
Nice ride along vid... Would love it if you checked out our channel! Have a good day!
literally not a single person watching the race
nice driving! does gearbox allow clutchless down shift? how do you like the car compare to other formula cars? Thanks!
No, you have to press clutch and ideally heel and toe to down shift - the main difference between skip and most formulas is the tire, they are radial, for conventional car use, can be driven on rain or dry conditions - in this case corners are slower or car tend to oversteer
Samer Ghosn well, they SAY you do... many drivers I raced against simply left foot brake. I was doing solid heel and toe though
Hum, interesting, tks for the update - it might depends on the track - on Road America there's a hard break with 2 or 3 gear reduction - not sure about car behavior on this without foot work - anyway doing go kart style could same some precious milliseconds
+Samer Ghosn oh some drivers (Neil Verhagen, the new RB junior, in particular) literally bang the gears down and just let the rear wheels chirp. Personal preference really
Nice, never tried, i'd be afraid to damage the engine
You've got wheel damage.
