I'm addicted to this car. Haven't raced in the Rookie series though, I've been doing the D license series. If you haven't given it a go, this week they're at the new Jerez track. For some reason this car on that track go so well together. This car feels a lot like the Skippy but with the light weight characteristics of the Vee. Driving it with the dog box H-shifter just adds to the fun. And damn, nice recovery in this race.
Just moved from ACC to iracing to get more variety. Had a lot of fun with the Mazda the first week. Can’t really wrap my head around how to drive this one fast… Don’t trailbreak, don’t lock up the fronts under breaking ….
Quick tip, you can flat shift in the formula ford if you just use clutch - so instead of lifting off, you keep your foot flat and use clutch instead as you go into gear. Don’t know if it’s quicker but it’s what I’ve been doing and I seem to be decently quick
Great race, Dave! I love this combo. I've been spending some time in here this week - great fun. Yeah, these cars take a good couple laps to get the tires up to speed.
Yes the FF1600 is really fun to drive Dave. (I did some testing at Knockhill) I find it becomes a bit unstable on downshifts at times which is probably due to only having 4 gears. Great racing as always. Keep up the good work. 👍
Nice race Dave👍 Have you tried any of the european sprint racing at road america yet? Love to see you try the lmhd BMW there. Also whats your opinion on the lmp3 car thats gonna be released in June? I think its gonna be a tad slower than the gte cars. Cheers🍻
Personally i make all my records in qualifying. I can practice for 1 hour and im getting slower and slower, but when i hop into qualifying i drive so much faster. In actual races im slower, but i think its because im trying to drive little bit safer and still new to sim racing and i dont want to ruin other people races by driving like maniac.
How many races have I watched the top 10 cars die in short order on the second to last lap? The cars take longer to warm up and once they go beyond, the car becomes undrivable.
@@tapidlittle13 You have to lift off the throttle for the upshifts to occur, just slide it into gear without the clutch, lift and done. For downshifts, it's actually pretty forgiving in regards to blipping, especially if downshifting while driving in a straight line. Just have to be careful if trying to downshift mid turn while the revs are high.
@@lilfurbal ok thanks. I did try the Audi 90 with my H pattern this week and the clutch was required if I remember correctly. Probably a different type of transmission.
It will always be the Formula Ford, and it will always irritate me that in the list of cars that I have to scroll down to "R"! 😂😂😂
This magnificent beast is just so much fun to drive. Been doing the trophy series with it and I am having a blast.
I'm not an iracer but I do enjoy your videos. I'd call that a result 👏
Nice comeback! Awesome to see you randomly race the livery I made as well! 😄
Just got into the RR 1600 series...what a fun and challenging series.

Yes! I was hoping you'd do some of these. I know you say you don't do downforce...well these fit that criteria!
Well done! Thanks for all the good content, legend.😊
One of my favorite cars right now, I’m shocked I have more pace that ol’ Davey boy. Good race, good comeback.

Brilliant race. Really enjoyed the three wide situation. Great overtake there Dave. Nice race mate :)
Hope you do some more videos with this car! I have been having an absolute blast with it.
12:43 what an overtake

I’m the same with qualifying. I’m usually about 3 seconds behind the leaders, then come the race, I’m only about 2 seconds slower! 😂

👍
You're probably overrevving it on the downshift and locking up the rear end. Blipping the throttle and being more patient will help.
@@Topkartracer how would i blip the throttle on downshift?
Just literally stab the throttle when shifting down. It will then slot into gear 👍
@@davecamyt cheers
in the distance, what a jump @9:47 lol :D iracing netcode at it's finest eh Dave lol... nice car/track combo.
Great content Dave, would love some more of this series. Hello from Australia mate
Thanks Theo 😁
Great race, thanks Dave...im still trying to convince the wife why I need a sim setup 😂

The cars look like they are floating on the road
Great racing Dave! These cars are a blast
Hey Dave, what are those headphones you use? Im the need of one like that
Great video as always, cheers!
New title for this clip: "I've got to stop doing that!" :)

Maybe one day they’ll call one a Formula Dave.
Don’t be jealous, and don’t bend MY car!!!

Ripper overtake 12:40!
Kind of you to have a little incident to give the others a chance 😂
Lol he’s a reasonable man
No idea how you go that fast. I've been trying got days to get under 1.39.5 and I cannot for the life of me
Dave, How come you're not rocking the BDH shifter anymore? I'm poised to order one but you not using it anymore is making me think twice.
A £2000 car bill in November meant I had to move some of the luxury stuff on. I'd highly recommend it though 👍
@@davecamyt Fair enough. Thanks for the quick response. Nice race btw 👍
Dont buy a Mustang 🫤
@@davecamyt Enough said........ 🤣
Nice.
Why formula wheel and no h-shifter? Expected better from you Dave
I'll do better next time. 😁
@@davecamyt haha, hope to see another video then. It's massively fun with the shifter
Dave I know you like some challenge. Why not drive this car with the clutch and H shifter has it is meant to be driven ? 😁. Great video again.
Technically it's driven with the H-shifter and no clutch. Thus the way of the dog box transmission. :)
@@lilfurbal you need to blip on downshift I guess ?
