- In this video we put the FF royale RP-30 to the test at Mettet after the prep-work from the previous video. Ok ,we got half a spin, but that was my mistake ( near the end of the Video). For the rest it did fine with 1.25 degrees neg camber, 1.5mm toe in per wheel, and 50-50% cross balance

Excellent video. Great to see an engineer and racer enjoying both ends of the sport.
Thanks for the comments..
Your videos are fantastic! Loved the older pinto and weber carburettor ones. So informative, you are a very clever man
Thanks for the comments
Love your work, Steve. Great to see your hard work on track. 👍
Thanks 👍
Always enjoy your videos, always trying to apply things learned on your channel and others to my form of auto sports. greetings from USA
Awesome, thank you!
Fantastic video. Great to see these cars you've been working on so hard on the track
Thanks for the comments
Another entertaining video. Well done and thanks. Your a good teacher.
Thank you kindly!
Most Formula Fords were never designed to run on slicks, only on Dunlop Formula Ford tires which were good in dry and wet conditions, you adjusted suspension and tire pressure to the condition. We always disconnected sway bars in the wet.
Thank you for the comments, and yes you are right. Except that the super formula ford also called the FF2000 was based on wings and slicks in contrast to its FF1600 that had no wings and a 1600 cc engine
Hi Steve, great race....respect🏎👍
Thanks 👍
nice track day Steve. The video needs another cut 😁. Keep the track videos i love them !
Thanks for the comments
Every day is a learning day 😊
You bet it is even for an old men
Hi Steve. Great video once again! What race series have you joined or are you signing up for individual track days yourself? thanks and keep up all the good work. Josh
So far , I have done training at the classic racing school, several monoposto CRAC days and now getting my license for the classic formula ford ...
Steve, help me on rain tires. Rain tires are made of softer rubber compounds to help the car grip in the slippery conditions and to build up heat in the tire,. I'm not sure why you were saying you were worried about lack of grip from the tires as the track dries since a drying track would increase tire heat and therefore give you more tire traction. that's why in F1 they change tires so quickly when a track dries out because the sticky wets over heat from getting too much traction from excess heat build-up.
Hi Rick, indeed that is the normal behaviour of rain tires... however ( and I should have stated it) mine are a bit older and the compound of the rain tires is not that soft anymore... thus two issues less grip when wet and dry..But still a good anti aquaplaning . So the grip they have on the dry spots is not all that good ( as the compound became hard) or lets say less then my newer slicks. the second issue is that rain tires wear fast on dry tracks .
A bit long video there at the end ;) But nice to see you are human as well !
Thanks, yes something went wrong with the edit...maybe I should push the corrected version...
@@D3Sshooter It will hurt the watched % numbers a bit, but I think re-uploading would hurt more, youtube are not a fan of that from what I have seen in the past. And the error could be much worse :) I wouldnt worry to much about it. The video is good regardless of the slight editing mistake :D Thank you for uploading videos, while I am personally more interested in the restoration videos of old rusty and the barn etc, the racing stuff is an insight into something I have never really looked into, which is also exciting for sure :) So keep on truckin ! :)
sharp looking track suit..am sure these are not cheap, nor would you buy cheap..safety first..great jolt of adrenaline racing...keeps one young eh Steve?
Thanks for the comments, and yes we need to keep going even at 64... like me ... young at hart and mind....😀😀
👍👍👍👍👍
