- Starting 17th for Race 2, I made a reasonable getaway, only to be mugged on the subsequent corners. A few places were regained before the red flags came out.
On the restart I fluffed 3rd gear but things were generally going well, until...
Bad luck, but good driving..
Some of the happiest days of my life were spent at Brands Hatch.
My first visit was the Race of Champions in 1983, and I was lucky enough to see Rosberg and Danny Sullivan bang wheels for the better part of a lap.
I got snowed on at Dingle Dell, and I’ve never been happier!
it was your mirrors , focus . shit happens i wish i had the opportunity when young
Hey Y'all..I was Southeastern Regional Champ a long time ago..Engine Builder...I'm 70 now..LOL...used to run with Nobel and Wayne Moore...I had the Track Record Lap at Rd. ATL before they cut it to pieces...I don't know why but I decided to search VEE's..lots of fun!!.. I raced Bikes after that..did pretty good...I still miss it..Best of Luck to everybody!!👍🇺🇸
@Dariusz Kanak thats not something a kid could make up he gave evidence and talked about a track that no longer exists
Now the guy deleted his comment lol
Looks like me in iRacing. 🤣
The ol too wide going to fast number huh?!?! Sucks then it happens. Good race up till then thou.
Tudo bem amigo
Hi !!! I’m french and I discover the Formula Vee in this video, this is so wow !!!
Some good hustling, real shame about the spin and those mirrors!!
Un sorry sorry accidents happen and it’s good to see both unharmed and can have a chat and laugh about it over a beer good racing
whats the white stuff on the track at the beginning?
I didn't know this formuka existed until I came across this video. Looks great fun.
Cool, i know of racers keeping good luck charms with them never saw one rub his mirror for luck tho. But hey, whatever works for you.
Haha! Didn't bring me much luck though!
@@hpdracing-hartinperformanc6630 When I raced in FVee a decade ago I had a lucky tee shirt I wore for every race. It was shot full of holes and I'm not generally supersticious but I wouldn't get in the car without it on. I also still have my Sheane so may come back and race it again one day.
Scared to overtake lost opportunities
10:47
Really enjoyed your uploads. There are not a lot of Formula Vee stuff on YT esp. with the atop the driver POV. Consequently, I am surprised to see nothing for 2019 thus far.
Real life had to take priority this year so there's been little time for racing cars. Hoping to be back next year!
2014
Bet these cars go to garage sales in the weekends to buy low and sell high and make annoying tiktoks about it.
Can not wait for Formula wee wee
I wonder how much is racing in the Canadian f1200 just to know if it's cheaper the formula predator in Italy or the Canadian f1200
You like that outside line on the last corner, problem is the road camber changes and its easier for the rear end to become light, meaning you cant carry as much speed into the corner compared to the inside line. Good racing though
That was great to watch, looks so much fun.
l watched the incident twice...just a racing deal...the guy in front of you got slow in a hurry and as soon as you lifted the suspension unloaded and as you touched the brake it got sideways with no room around you....it happens. Very good drive...very quick through Paddock.......
Agreed. FANTASTIC drive. Blue car was in the wrong place at the right time. I think he paid for not checking sides on lap one...
3 years too late but. i dont agree with it being a racing incident. the mistake was his overcompensating and lost it. inlucky the driver was taking the inside. hard to tell
Yeah I am way late to this, but I think this is all on the poster/racer. shifted down mid corner and induced a spin. Nothing the other guy could do to avoid the wreck.
You came for 10:50
Ooooh his loss of traction has taken that blue car out of the race
10:49 - oversteer
Looks so fun...
Off throttle oversteer, gotta keep the power down
You’re gonna race cars you’re gonna crash cars. It didn’t look to be a terrible crash, both might have been shook up but otherwise an undramatic crash. I could see you trying to push those corners but the people were good defenders. All in all a good race
How to overtake a car at the same time you are fixing a mirrow. Great!!😄
That's the same line I drive in Real Racing 3.
Driving at speed in a crowd and got the bawls to adjust the mirror.lol
Great video - I really enjoyed it! I’m watching F Vee now because iRacing is coming out with a Formula Vee car in a few months. It looks like great racing for a reasonable cost - if I ever decide to sell my airplane....
Nab race
But both mirrors stayed in place!
pure carnage in the 2nd part :D
Minor racing incident...
Did you touch the throttle while you were sideways?
Sounds like a Volkswagen motor or a motorcycle motor
was ur fault so idk y u angry at him
Who says he was angry at him. He didn’t sound angry
Damn that would be fun
Thumbnail is pretty much Iracing
Waisting 11min on this video man, why?
engine sound oil starved, what are they?
barbeiro kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Malisimo colega
You sure didn't spin on purpose - just a racing incident...
Автор видео сам допустил ошибку !!!
Parecida a la fórmula ford
Dang. That's all I can say...
I’m just curious are these cars hard or easy to drive
Slippery but fun.
they start to spin while turning when you arent on the gas. stepping on the gas gives your rear wheels grip
Generally quite easy to drive. The control Hoosier tires are pretty predictable, which helps.
The trick is getting the suspension setup right for each circuit so that you have the confidence to push the limits of the available grip, I still have a lot to learn in that regard.
HPD Racing - Hartin Performance Development thanks! Because I was thinking of getting into that series
You were trying to not hit the guy ahead but forgot to set the wheel at 0 degree while you were breaking, as this car oversteers when trail braking, you end up getting that behavior. It's quite hard to predict in that moment, but something that I learned to avoid in iRacing. Nice driving thought.
bad driving in my opinion
What is that white powder at turn 2 and 3 ?
read some of the comments.. it is concrete dust to soak up oil.
@@rbarnes4076 I did, but don"t have 5 hours to find it among 1000000 comments. Thx btw
@@hebikane Hahah.. I hear that. And you're welcome!
@@rbarnes4076 I drive F Vee on iRacing. Funny car
@@hebikane Been a while since I did iRacing (like 5+ years). The descriptions I've heard about this car on iRacing indicates it is very loose (like the Skippy). So a bit of throttle through the corner is needed to keep cornering stability. I could be very wrong though.. not actually driven it, just read comments about it.
The Skippy was definitely prone to snap-oversteer (I'm guessing this hasn't changed in the intervening years). So getting fast in it is about good throttle control and good skill at using heel/toe for throttle/brake manipulation.
Nice driving and video. Using toe and heel during down shifting would help to avoid the spin.
Ah yes just like iracing
What v twin do they run?
The "V" is for Volkswagen. These cars run an air-cooled 4-cylinder engine from the Volkswagen Beetle !
Bad driver 🤣
I race Formula Vee every day...on Iracing! Looks more stable in real life!
This was so frustrating to watch. What’s the point of entering a race if you’re so scared to attempt to pass cars? If you want to just ride around with other cars on the track then participate in open track days or something.
I know this might be a silly questions but when you crash into someone like that what happens? Like who is liable for damages? Or is it like it's expected in racing? I'm wanting to get into it and I'm just curious
avery dillman you pay for the damage to your car, even if someone else caused it. Thats how it is in racing.
Stephen is correct - it is understood by everyone that when you go out on track that accidents can and will happen and that no one is intentionally trying to get into a wreck. If we got into a situation of all competitors needing fully comprehensive insurance, amateur level racing would cease to exist as the premiums would be ridiculous.
that dirty track bit hard there
Soon as you went for an outside overtake on a long bend like that it was over
Really boring, the driver is regular and does nothing special. Fun for the driver, boring to watch
Just like iracing! 😎
Did you say sorry?
+
I love how the cars are all so unique, that’s always been one of my favorite parts of Formula Vee
pretty good graphics on this sim. physics look unrealistic though
You didn't seem to be doing anything too dramatic and then the rear just lost grip.
Car looks good under braking - and starting. You/the car or both.
Might need to a) avoid the kerbs or b) fix the mirrors? ;)
David Hartin the guy in front braked a bit more than I expected so I think I over-braked on turn in, then used too much throttle trying to correct the tank slapper :( The engine and brakes are generally in a good place at the moment so the suspension is the next focus. I was struggling to get the nose turned in at clearways all weekend, the bumps really unsettled the car.
As for the mirrors, despite being almost new, they're going in the bin!
@@hpdracing-hartinperformanc6630 3 years late for this reply, but since you are going to be doing some body work anyway... maybe time for some fixed mirrors? ;)
Enjoying watching you race! Hope you are still at it!
Vees are underdamped and the engine brake is quite strong.
Great bit of racing... sadly an ooops...but that's racing...
We learn...glad your all safe.. ready for another day..
That looks like so much fun. Is that sand on the track?
It is! I miss it. That's concrete dust, used on oil spills.
You got it sideways nowhere to go so just a little bump glad everyone is ok
This my new a dumb question. Why don’t they race slick tires?
same tyres all race no matter the conditions so they gotta be prepared for anything
I guess that makes sense
@@Keselowski6 ye there's no professional pit crew or anything to be assisting you in the pits, likely just you and your buddies
There's a hump there, from the looks of it. I don't think that's in Project Cars 2. Lol. Almost lost it the lap prior at the same place. Just too much lateral G, but what do I know.
Yeah I don't know whether my tire pressures were too high, my front dampers were set too hard or my line was wrong (or maybe all three) but I struggled with the bumps in that corner all weekend, crazy amounts of understeer.
Parece ser mais legal que a F2 e F3
You are a bad driver
He's a very good driver, you just don't know anything about racing
Go upload a video of you racing then if you're so good
Tell us all how its done on your PlayStation Mr pro
so many euro trash slick over ego shaved pubed a holes
