I have bought the Xbox One X version of Assetto Corsa entire package for a huge six pounds on sale to see if I can recreate to an extent some of your races in the 60's cars. It is possible and must say, the graphics on that 6 year old game stand up. Lovely gaming and noticed it is possible on Forza 7 as well, quite a few very old cars in the 800+ cars I can pick from so to you I say thank you for the inspiration. I'm no longer buying F1 games but loved the old Geoff Crammond F1 games, go and try out Stunt Car Racer and Metropolis Street Racer at some time, great memories.
A word about the engine should be in here - I believe they used the x-flow version of the legendary Kent engine, which had been first tuned by Cosworth in the early 60s for FJs, and was the basis for its FVA F2 motor and Lotus’ twin cam (and the FVA was the test bed for the DFV).
I raced and worked on the original Skip Barber Racing School car, which was a Crossle 35. Then they had their own car made by Leslie Drysdale in Ireland with modern inboard front suspension around 1986. Then they converted that chassis into the car we know now. I would love to see more FFs from developers!
My late father raced Formula Ford at Mosport in Late 60s early 70's. He was always bringing cars home to work on. I never got a chance to drive in one. This brought back some memories, thank you for sharing this wonderful racing car. I wish I had the chance in my younger days to get into racing.
I was there for the 50th anniversary of formula Ford at brands hatch in July 2017. Its awesome to see these old formula cars go 4 wide into Graham Hill bend.
Unfortunately certain things can't be learnt in these classic formula fords, most notably the behaviour of full-slicks on an open-wheel car, and the airflow around a car's wings & how they're set up will alter the car's handling characteristics.
Nice! I was looking at this car sitting in my mod collection just the other day. I never really gave it a try, so this is good motivation to plug in the wheel and sweat in 30c weather!
These cars are amazing in action! I was at the NBR old timer GP where a lot of vintage cars are raced like they are at Goodwood. While the 80s F1 cars steal the show with their DFVs those little formula juniors look so nimble and fun to race, dancing from apex to apex it's phenomenal! I sat in one of these after a lengthy chat with an owner and you wouldn't believe how tiny they are. Awesome cars!
I remember my local owner of this car told me that this is the best car he ever drove thank you of covering this i would love to see this come to rfactor 2
Have you tried the championship mode in Assetto Corsa? You can do some extra tweaks and perks for individual drivers there. Having some fun with it. Thank you for the vids they have been fun too.
WOW very interesting and impressive! Especially how good the A.I. drives here, for Assetto Corsa standards! And what a nice view on the backside of the Motodrome grandstands! Really epic atmosphere and history!!
Great to watch, man! Clean racing while commenting, not easy to do! Great little car, too. Gotta try it! But wait, where can I find that pit board? I love it!
Hey dude, love your content, I was wondering if there was a historic vintage racing league on Assetto Corsa with these kind of cars obviously ? Keep up the good contant, it is really fun to watch
Downloaded this car a while back but didn't really do much with it - was a lot of fun but looks like I should really get back into it with some vintage circuits!
Amazing video as always. Don't know if anyone else is having weird issues with not being able to get the mod to work, but I've raced my brain for weeks now trying to solve the issues. I can like see it on the car selection page but it crashes and loops back to car selection after I try to start the race weekend. Weird as I can get most cars to work just fine
New to your channel, loving the content! Have you tried the VB Mod for F1 Challenge? Think that could be right up your street. Has every season of F1 in one mod.
Look very similar to early sixties F1... I spotted somewhere a pretty much interesting mod for F1 1965, probably taken from the rFactor mod I've been playing a lot with in the last months. I also love the Lotus 25 that is included in Assetto Corsa Ultimate I purchased a few weeks ago; now I'm in big doubt whether getting this Formula Ford or the '65 F1 mod... 🤔
I have one of these in Assetto Corsa but always struggle with grip. I can NEVER get any heat in the tyres but can't understand why apart from lowering the pressure. I'll get all fired up again seeing this and just slide off again😁
The default tire compound is the 1960s one and really stays cold always. If you swap it to the secondary compound in the garage its a more modern tire and i believe heats up easier
I was pretty excited when I first downloaded this, but I find it completely undriveable. Zero grip and huge oversteer on corner entry. I have no clue about setups so it stays in the shed. It's pretty strange seeing as I have no issues with any of the more powerful formula cars.
Wow the car looks gorgeous gotta try it out. Amazing track for Sports Cars 67 in GPL also in he long version. The mod includes the Historic drivers names?
another great race! Watching you making the same kinds of mistakes I do myself, make all this much more believable. Would you like to share some of the AI adjustments you did there?
Hey everybody, last year i started with sim racing (AC) and it got me hooked. Now i realized that by far my most favourite cars are the 60s F1 cars. Sadly i seem to be the only one who thinks so and im wondering if there is something like a dedicated league for these cars. Who could know better than you guys. Thanks in advance!
I also seem to be that one lone guy who loves these kinds of cars. Can't get the guys of my racing league to love them too. Maybe we all should sit down in a circle and talk about our problems. 😁
Love how Formula Ford kept its philosophy for all these years
Absolutely the purest series of racing now the first step in your career

This is excellent :)
My father raced an Alexis Mk15 from the early 70’s to the end of 76. His car was almost a mirror of this one in its colours :)

you can still learn how to become a good driver in these, way better and more affordable than formula 4

That car looks like a lot of fun! Great video man, keep it up!
Fun to watch! As a retired Formula Ford racer this makes me happy! It looks very realistic, now I need to get a buddy to let me have a go in his sim!
My dad has a 1969 Alexis Mk14 that he raced for quite a while. Such a fun and pretty car.
Finally a video on the classic formula ford
Formula Fords are just pure racing fun. No wings, no tech, not really much power (although.....). Thank for reminding me how great these are.

Awesome cars!
Have a Murray Walker commentary playing in the background as you drive.... I did with an RSS 1979 car at Interlagos.... delightful .
Thanks for recommending this car, I love it!
And great video, as usual.
That left mirror was very useful
Subs are climbing man so glad you're back doing it like you are 💪
Great exciting racing mate 👍 A great looking course.
I remember my local owner of this car told me that this is the best car he ever drove thank you of covering this i would love to see this come to rfactor 2
rFactor 2 is the source of so many mods are you sure there aren't some like this already?
That is a big crowd for formula Ford.
They Heard Richie axelson was racing today 😉
@@SOIBand The up and coming young star of the future!!
@@deanbrown8796 exactly ;) he already has a big name. His father raced in F1 in the 50s. Was quite a big fish back then ;)
You have to take what you can get these days😁👍
Have you tried the championship mode in Assetto Corsa? You can do some extra tweaks and perks for individual drivers there. Having some fun with it. Thank you for the vids they have been fun too.
Fomula ford has got to be one of my favorite formulas of all time
Edit: the drivers hand to shift is amazing too
WOW very interesting and impressive! Especially how good the A.I. drives here, for Assetto Corsa standards! And what a nice view on the backside of the Motodrome grandstands! Really epic atmosphere and history!!
The only additional content for Assetto Corsa that I could never get to work just saying!!
Great to watch, man! Clean racing while commenting, not easy to do!
Great little car, too. Gotta try it!
But wait, where can I find that pit board? I love it!
Great video
Hey dude, love your content, I was wondering if there was a historic vintage racing league on Assetto Corsa with these kind of cars obviously ? Keep up the good contant, it is really fun to watch
Yeah search up “VAC” - vintage assetto corsa, fun community
@@TepacheLoco Thanks a lot, I ll take a look
Love the channel and would like to see some F1 on the long circuit at Hockenheim thx
Love the left Mirror😅
I know right!? I feel this car is accurate enough that it must have actually looked like that...
😁
Looking online I see a lot of the historic FF's had the exhaust exiting low.
Downloaded this car a while back but didn't really do much with it - was a lot of fun but looks like I should really get back into it with some vintage circuits!
Great video. I like these little single seaters
Love your channel mate keep it up 👍
What is the mod that make possible this pit wall placard to be showed like in GPL???
I had problems with the shaders: I prefer using the AC's ones. Is making this modification easy?
Amazing video as always.
Don't know if anyone else is having weird issues with not being able to get the mod to work, but I've raced my brain for weeks now trying to solve the issues. I can like see it on the car selection page but it crashes and loops back to car selection after I try to start the race weekend. Weird as I can get most cars to work just fine

Ah thanks GPLaps I thought there was only the one tyre compound for this. I'll take another look👍
Wow the car looks gorgeous gotta try it out. Amazing track for Sports Cars 67 in GPL also in he long version. The mod includes the Historic drivers names?
another great race! Watching you making the same kinds of mistakes I do myself, make all this much more believable.
Would you like to share some of the AI adjustments you did there?
Hi, im new to the channel and i love the AC content. Mind sharing your AI settings? Like strength, aggressiveness and all that? :3
pretty cool vid :)
4:45 can someone tell me that sign app
That was loads of fun.
We need a blooper's and out-take's vid.
Yesssssssssss today’s gonna be a good daaaay
thx for covid ping
@@MrTripsJ Blame your local officials for not handling it properly lol ❤️❤️❤️
i love that thing!
hey can you do this experiment : can the Shokuto wangan cars beat historic F1 at the *Old temple of speed?*
You shuld make compilation videos where there's only the history partition from like 5 or 10 videos.
Hey everybody,
last year i started with sim racing (AC) and it got me hooked. Now i realized that by far my most favourite cars are the 60s F1 cars. Sadly i seem to be the only one who thinks so and im wondering if there is something like a dedicated league for these cars. Who could know better than you guys. Thanks in advance!
Check out “VAC” or VintageAC group. they race exclusively vintage cars
@@GPLaps thanks so much.
I also seem to be that one lone guy who loves these kinds of cars. Can't get the guys of my racing league to love them too. Maybe we all should sit down in a circle and talk about our problems. 😁
My dad actually tried signing up for a formula Ford driving school back during this time but his father did not allow it
Gee, I hope all those virtual spectators are observing the virtual social distancing guidelines! 😆
replay the crash!
First ❤
