So if I can buy 20 of these I can start an another racing series😂
You cheeky fuvking bastard I’m in 😂
Yo that's actually a very nice idea, same spec F1 race, it might produce very exciting race, just imagine George, Lando, Carlos, Charles etc. racing in this series, same car, but it is F1!
@@YOLOLMK So you mean F2 essentially?
@@YOLOLMK Yeah but ho pays the bill afterwards? :D
@@jerrykeranen813 We will accept paid drivers and sponsors starting today!
Ahhh, now I know how to spend the Squarespace money... 😅
Spotted the josh man
Lmao, Squarespace literally sponsor's everyone on RUclips.😅
Oh, you're here
Raid Shadow Legends
DO IT!!!! Then let's see a video
Hmmm....that begs the question what if The Grand Tour had a challenge where Clarkson, Hammond, and May had to buy these custom F1 cars and make their own F1 teams with them then going to 7 different FIA grade 1 circuits
It could happen. Jeff Bezos has almost endless amount of money, so giving The Grand Tour a permission to buy 3 F1 cars probably wouldn't cost him that much.
1 word... Regulations
How hard can it be!!
@@ArindamKar Among the best quotes by that man
@@m.sydneyvern2260 totally!
For anyone curious, that's the Virgin Marussia MVR-02 they are building. The shiny scheme made me think it was an ex-Mclaren at first.
I love that livery on that marussia F1 car. They maybe slow but their livery is good.
@@supernsxgtracing9541 Slow for an f1 car.
Pant shitting fast for a normal driver
Yeap. I was thinkin' the same.
Dork... JK JK i also thought it was McLaren
@@supernsxgtracing9541 shame Bianchi isn’t here to agree.
Man this is quality content! Pretty much something that I would watch on TV as a documentary or something before or after MythBusters!!! Amazing!
Wow, thanks!
I was thinking exactly the same! If there would be a tv program just of racing, you would be the perfect person to make documentaries!
@@mattamys oh jv v ool
@@mattamys Hilarious to see people throw money at cars that are made to be driven by athletes/professional drivers at the very limit and then actually think that they could do just as well in their middle age years with a pot belly and no physical training whatsoever.
Its all just a super expensive wet dream.
Fantastic video Matt and very interesting with TDF1 if only I had a spare £1million bucks lol. It’s fantastic to see the level of dedication to keep old f1 cars going end the care and manufacturing side of tdf1 is commendable. Well done guys! As a fan of all old f1 cars to see the care that this team are doing to old saubers and marussia cars I can’t wait to see more from them with the BAR hondas and others. Keep up the great videos Matt
What is £1million bucks? Its either pounds or the bucks. Can't be both mate
@@Verdeniza your right my fault! 1 million pounds
@@Verdeniza ¥1million pound bucks

Don’t need 1M E. Ocon’s force India sold for 70,000 GBP
I watched a Ferrari "Clientele" F1 day once and it was utterly, soul crushingly depressing.
Ferrari Clientele is where super rich people can purchase ex Ferrari F1 cars, Ferrari holds them and organises numerous events at various racetracks across the world.
Ferrari then send the cars over, have complete track setup with marshalls etc, even fans holding banners for the specific cars.
And here comes the depressing part, the same teams of engineers and mechanics who once travelled the world with that car, who worked on it during each qualifying and race with some of the best drivers on earth are the ones there supporting each chassis.
And they all look completely dead inside, watching a fat pink man in his 50s clamber into this finely engineered precision car that once held the attention of the world whilst being driven on the absolute limit of what it could do.
Now they're there watching it do laps at probably 1/10th of what it's capable, lap after lap, tweaking things in between as the pink man wasn't happy with its balance.
You could literally see the memories in their eyes.
Jesus Christ that's depressing
Mehhh they work under 1/10 of the pressure that they normally would in a real race and probably get paid the same if not more. Who cares? I do think it's kinda sad but not depressing. You're over exaggerating.
It's the ultimate irony of great things being expensive, is that usually the people drinking the $10,000 bottles of wine or driving the Bugatti, aren't really qualified to enjoy it at the level it was meant to be.
Become rich and buy one for yourself
@@Visakh_S_Nair Now THAT is the RIGHT attitude!! And exactly what I am doing as we speak!!
Im still waiting for the video where you explain how you single handedly destroyed FE by leaving the sport
How could he single handedly destroy it when he had left, therefore no hands were present during its destruction...
What?
What a stupid comment
I can’t find TDF1’s social media or RUclips. They need to promote this more. I would do anything just to be part of their team, I’d even be their janitor
Their social handles are @powerbytdf :)
Same I would also want to join there team.
Can you imagine arriving to work or uni in a MP4/4?
Not street legal
@@wastefellow2569cool! Good to know!
There’s a bunch of uni kids with their shiny supercars and you just roll up and steal the show with an mp4/4
@@wastefellow2569 depending on where you live the law might allow it when modified
@@jme3752, I looked it up and F1 cars are not street legal and for many reasons
Matt do you wanna go halves on it?
Hi
If TDF1 did hire days where you could hire the car for so many laps with the team telling you how to drive it over the radio. I think it would be very popular. Obviously it would still probably require a fair chunk of money to drive it. But put it within range of a normal person.
It would be thousands, if not tens of thousands for the day, but as a bucket list item somewhat doable.
@@uu9rj exactly like going for a ride in a jet fighter
There are places where you can drive a real F1 car for a few laps at least. It's not cheap though but within reach if you're able to save up for it. As an example you can drive a Williams FW29 in Anderstorp, Sweden. Something like €2000 and upwards.
You can drive f1 car like cars für 189£
@@spiritationalrelaxing7747 Wo?
Awesome video. TDF1 is exactly what an F1 car buyer who wishes to drive their car for hours around a circuit needs. I think it’s brilliant.
I was at the auction of Hamilton’s car at Silverstone - genuinely one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen!
Thats soo cool. They made f1 into a retail service, love these sort of ideas.
Option 3 is definitely a motor series in the making,
Pretty sure it is already happening. There are gentlemen clubs in the UK that race actual F1 cars and some like these ones
Option 2 is not bad either. Buy the $65,000 shell. Put a Superbike engine in it. And costum suspension/ tires. Might come up to $160,000 total is done right...
If I could buy a TDF1 car I would ABSOLUTELY let you, Matt, take a spin at Silverstone 😅
Yeah, you WOULD because you can't :D
If I spent nearly a million dollars on a F1 car. I probably wouldn’t drive it my self let alone anyone else.
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for this information :D Best regards from Finland! 🇫🇮
There's another option as well, Rodin Cars.
They're a company in New Zealand that makes their own V8 Formula 1 styled car
May I add, they bought the design from Lotus
@@jiun88 Yup they did, but the car is very different now though. If you buy one, you may even get one that I built a few parts for ;)
Now that I know this exists I’d love to see a video comparing one to the real deal to see how close it is.
Spoiler Alert: Online.
Well I know what i'm doing once i become a millionaire
Cocaine and hookers ?
*billionaire
If you want to be a millionaire start as a billionaire and then go racing
Same here
This was such a great video. I love the amount of detail you went into. Funny, the cars look more like the last series of F2 Dallara’s then F1. I would like you to do more videos on this subject matter. You could do ten more videos and not scratch the surface of these cars. Love, Love it. Ted
Appreciate that you get to the info right away in this video. Love it!
Dope video Matt! I'm working on an experience design project on Formula E atm and this video helped !
Wait, this video only has 10k views?? Such a professional production and very interesting stuff... you're set up for success!!
Thisis amazing
Well I don't think so many people are looking to buy an F1 car... the video is basically an ad for a company that sells just that.
My god the PASSION in this guy
This was a great video mate. Thanks a lot.
What a WELL out together video. Honestly thought I was watching a TV at first. Everything about it. Very informative yet to the point, no b.s filler to meet time constraints to still get RUclips algorithm to get paid and how ever that's goes.
Definitely will be lookin for future videos 😃😃I think this is the first video I didn't lose brain cells 🤣😁🤫🤫🤪🤪😉😉😉
Plese continue with this content ! It's really great !
I did not know that something like this existed, but its something I've always been interested in. Its awesome to see that somebody is doing this! What an awesome way to make a living!
i never heared a person speak english with Lisp.
I like ur voice, ur very understandable and u gave me motivation to speak more english to learn it. Thank you
This could be the start of an all-new Motorsport.
If it does happen, Call it Formula Evo.
there`s no evolution going on...
just downgrading.....
@@dirkrieger8783 It won't be Evo at the beginning, but over time (I'm talking 5 years, by then it would have been a full fledged Motorsport, then the "Evo" would really kick in.
Thanks for this information! I will definitely look into buying a couple of these for my wife, friend, and I. Cheers!
Rodin Cars are also a great option.
The options they have, the work that's gone in to redesigning what was the old Lotus is crazy.
Loving the content, mate! Subscribed!
Awesome video, thank you for sharing
A very interesting video thanks for answering the question of how do you go about buying one of these cars a question I’ve asked myself many times.
Really enjoyed watching this 👍
7:21 thats the old Marrusia F1 car. Man those slow backmarkers on that days, HRT, Marrusia and Caterham/Lotus
This man has a amazing Job .. Love it.
Okay... never realize that was possible. Now I don't know how I'm living without this
If i buy i would definitely enter Boss gp with it
😮🎉❤ wicked cool video. TDF1 has got the right idea. Race on guys💪🏻🏁👍🏽
TDF-1 seems amazing for what you get the cost is still crazy, but it as close as you can get to driving an F1 car.
Seriously thinking about buying one. Thanks pal
Great video, thanks!
My dream would be to see a duel between a TDF Mercs W11 (2020) vs the real Williams FW14B (1992) seen at the beginning of the video.
I think I will stay with the RaceSimStudio mods for Assetto Corsa.
Great channel! I really don't get why you have such a low subscriber count for the great and diverse content you've got!
Much appreciated!
SUCH a good video, man. Super informative, and very good production quality.
Thank you very much for making this!
Subbed.
Dayyum I'm early. Also what about that road legal lotus F1 car that was on top gear?
That was the Lotus T125 which was on sale for £650,000, only issue is no one brought any. Clarkson actually demonstrated all of it's flaws in the Top Gear segment which I'm guessing didn't help!
@@mattamys yeah it looked a nightmare to drive but of course if you had a Jean Alesi he’d be happy to help
@@mattamys Ah! Thanks for the info
I'd like to see one of the TDF-1 vs an authentic F1 car
Dang this is a fascinating f1 vid on a topic i never considered
Sums up my channel perfectly 😂 glad you enjoyed it!
@@mattamys i really did!
How do you only have 43k subs? The quality of videos you make is like something you'd see on the tele, it's even better than a lot of youtubers with over 1 million subs! Keep on the good work and you'll eventually get there too mate!
It sure is better than morgz
Thanks Tom!
@@mattamys you will get there with the help of this exiting f1 season :)
@@mattamys Thank you for the videos! They're awesome! Is there a team behind the channel or is it just you?
I'm sure I wont be able to afford this ever in my life, but if I do, I definitely giving you a drive in it
I get why these cost upward of £850,000... but unless the buyer has the skill of an F1 driver, I have a difficult time imagining they wouldn't have just as much fun in a used Honda K20-powered Formula 3 car at a tenth of the price. Then again, I'm not in the financial demographic of the potential buyers and its their money. I'll take the F3 car someday. Great video!
superb video for F1 enthusiasts ..
I wasn’t thinking of getting one to take to the track. I got an hour drive to work. I’m banking on this shaving about a half hour off my drive time. I’ll just hire a pit crew and set a tent up at work.
Great stuff. Someone should tell the F1 teams to replace their parts with whatever stuff he says this third option uses. Since it apparently provides same performance but "can last a hell of a lot longer"..
This is proper consumer advice
Congratulations from Argentina
Love to see a budget F1 tournament
That’s dope I still dream to drive a open wheel F1 car
Presumably you could eek out similar 'service intervals' from the heritage stuff by getting it slightly detuned or limited. I mean the average punter isn't gonna miss the extra between a 95% F1 car & 100%. But yeah the TDF cars are a great thing, if I ever am rich enough it's worth considering!
I think there are more variables at play rather than 'Power vs. Reliability'.
@@devideomeneer well yes and no. I mean detune it a bit with the ecu, increase some tolerances of components if you could, reduce the redline, swap some of the most fragile components, alter the valve timing. I think basically reduce the performance and gain reliability and longevity
@@Tom_Hadler Yeah I'm sure these actual experienced F1 Engineers just didn't think of that. If only *they'd* been RUclips commenter!
Sheesh, those show cars are such an awesome trophy for us guys lol
3rd option is awesome too.
This guy is doing an Incredible Work...Mad Respect for him
Interesting video, I'll have to get in touch with them because I buy ex F1 car parts. Body work, internals etc.
Realistically, I'd just buy a show car, just to display in my house
Honestly, i was expecting way more money when you consider the development costs of these cars
Usually those costs are already covered by sponsors and prize money
Isn’t it $2 million dollars
Well, you need to rob a kidney bank for buying just it's steering and tyres 😅
IMO for 850k that is really good value considering what you get. If i only had that kind of disposable money... Would get LMP instead, F1 is cool but LMP is cooler =P
Isn’t it $2 million ?
My local auction house had a Marussia's chassis on show as they handled the break up of them, it was one of Jules' chassis so they could never seem to sell, guessing F1 teams don't want it as a test bed out of respect. They might still have it on show but I haven't been home in a while
Thanks, I’ll go ahead and buy one
This was actually really interesting
I did a track day in Pembrey, there was a guy blasting around in what I thought was a Marlboro sponsored McLaren, turns out it was an Indycar.
Imagine buying a replica just for a gaming setup would be sick
Ive had sierra cosworths and the 4 cylinder was awesome in that. Id want a 8 or or a 10 to listen to if I was in the market for one of these.
v nice content, chanks!
Ill order one from him sometime soon and then if your down you can definitely give it a test drive
Thanks Matt, off to my local toyota dealer now to buy an aygo
I wonder if you can buy one of the “replica” cars that have no drive train and actually make it run, and put a reliable drivetrain in it? I know the amount of engineering would be astronomical and probably impossible but I think it would be interesting to dive into that just to see what it could entail.. I mean you could build a tube chassis with the motor and everything you wanted and build it around the body panels and just swap the panels onto the chassis? But that’s still a lot of time effort and moneu
You could always nick one and hotwire it. Best joyriding car ever.
2:32 He knows what we wants to hear, no unnecessary info stuff
This video just makes me want to be successful so I can afford something like this 😂
For real!
Cleetus needs to buy one of these!
I own one of the left rear wheels from Bruno Senna’s F1 car. That’s quite enough for me 😃
I think hardly anyone watching this is interested in buying a f1 (awesome video btw of course that’s not a problem) which has extreme running costs and difficult maintenance, but some would be interested in slower more reliable cars that are still way faster than any street car regardless of power or price. Depending on the budget you can go from $/£/€ 10k to 200k and over depending on technology or condition (of course new cars are about 3-4 times more expensive) from formula ford, funyo f4/f5, cheap prototypes, or formula 4, formula 2.0, then higher class formula 3, 250hp prototypes like norma m20f, gt4 class cars (slower but in the price range) then formula 2, or 3500 v8, prototypes like lpm3’s, radical sr8 and slower but same money gt3 cars.
TDF is a good idea but I would like to say that the steering wheel can more modernize.
well yeah then pay a little more then im sure they will give you a more modern steering wheel(but as they said it is to simplify it for the normal person)
@@gruisman A 'normal' person doesn't spend 2 million dollars on an almost-F1 car lmao
Thats a great idea!!
Starting it from the cockpit, grazy modding
Great video .. I need one of those hahaha
Err I just saw a 1998 Benetton at The Bend - a racetrack near Adelaide in South Australia... I wonder if they bought it? It was Fisichella’s one though, perhaps that was the other one, but it has the same tyres I think. Perhaps that's the one they bought!
I'm 6ft 5" I'd love to drive an F1 car but have been turned down at track days due to my height. Is there anything I can do?
Since the new 2022 F1 car is out, hope the 2018-2021 F1 car will be on sale
Man i would love the Fw15 prost version
You know that scene from the wolf of wall street when Jonah Hill first meets Leonardo Dicaprio, yeah i would be like that meeting the owner of TDF
Wow nice thanks for the insight,I would want to buy an F1 car with Michael Schumacher livery/Aarton Senna livery.
Ahh now I know what I'll buy :)
Just is there something with halos? curious
Wow, I didn't know George Russell had a channel. Sub'd.
I bought a couple F1 cars a few months ago when on sale at Legendary Motorsport... pretty good price
lol
