Wow, what an incredibly comprehensive breakdown of a formula 1000 race car! Specifically, one that comes with ZERO expenses spared! My God is that a work of art. though i have no idea regarding IndyCars surprisingly I understood just about everything in the entire video. Except lambda's, lol still need to learn more about that.
Keep up the great work Mark!! would love to see you compete in an event sometime soon! Any dates we should be looking out for? Saw Oct 3rd you have an event but unfortunately, I didn't find your channel in time...
God bless & congrats on the beautiful machine! Thank you again for the breakdown! It was amazing!!
Happy you enjoyed this video and for sharing this post. I forget not everyone understands all aspects of a race car or car for that matter. As for Lambda, these are sensors that measure the air fuel ratio in the exhaust system and is used by the ECU to trim or adjust fuel real time so the air fuel ratio is always at its ideal number. This is closed loop meaning fuel adjusted real time vs open loop would be nothing more than logging this air fuel ratio and making corrections manually. I hope this helps, thanks again!
@@NixonMotorsports Got it. That helps! I have a 997 turbo FBO's and tuned so ive been trying to understand more regarding the tuning process so I can read the logs and keep track of how she's running. So that helps. Thank you!
When is the next F1000 event on the roster??
@@thornboroughhomes7953 Great, next event for me will be after the new year. I have a few projects over the winter on the car I will share with new videos. Next year US Majors race is first of Feb at COTA. thanks
Thanks for showing the Stohr.
You are welcome, glad you liked it.
In South Africa we are celebrating 70 years of Formula M. M stands for Motorcycle. There are four classes. Clas D 125 cc two stroke cars for kids aged from 5 to 13 years.
Then C for cars up to 550 cc, Class B 750 cc and class A 1000 cc. These cars use the exactly same materials as your car, from front to rear.
Some owners build their own cars but you can buy very good second hand cares. It started off 70 years ago as a affordable way to get you bum in a racing car but have grown into some really fast racing cars
Nice, good to hear. I love connecting with fellow racers and secondary connecting with someone in South Africa, very cool. Keep the comments coming. I have many videos being worked on so stay tune.
Great vid!
Thanks
Really great piece of kit,I like the nod to Ferrari nice touch.When I was younger use to play around with Yamaha 100cc Kart so I have an appreciation for what your doing ,good luck with your racing.
Thanks, agree to the nod to Ferrari. Thanks for supporting my channel!
FYI: When travelling at 100 MPH, air pressure into the intake apperture will be 0.17 PSI (for a given surface area). Thus, if the atmospheric pressure is 14.7 PSI, the extra air from the ram effect contributes approx 1% more air pressure (and hence oxygen). Obviously you could increase this somewhat, by tappering/narrowing the inlet apperture into the airbox.
Great information thanks for sharing!
@@NixonMotorsports If you were to taper the inlet that leads from the overhead apperture to the airbox by a 3:1 ratio, you might approx double the pressure to around 0.3 PSI (depending on losses due to friction and other things). At best maybe you'd get 2% more oxygen into the engine. You'd then need to calculate the air resistance the inlet apperture is making at the same speed (thus slowing you down), to see if it was worth it...
@@NevContractor1 I like the idea, I will spend time on this idea and see if I can experiment with this. Thanks for the comment and idea!
Awsome video, tnx for post it!😊
thanks for the showing most of the car, I'm building a antique F4 car, and this info will come very useful
Glad it is helpful. If you have any specific questions or would like me to put together a video on something let me know. Happy to help. Thanks for subscribing
Mark...I can't' take the teasing bro! The COA, Paul Ricard? You paid your dues big guy, so It's all deserved. Enjoy. I did my schooling and lived in France for a few years in the late 80' and that
when the passion for racing kicked in (Prost, Senna etc.)
I have a suggestion, can you organize a paid weekend at your facilities where you go into the whole thing in details. It also can be a weekend when a local race would take place.
Also, any chance you can provide a breakdown of the car cost to build.
Cheers, Zak
Hi Zak, I have no issue with having a few over to the track to spend a day going over the car and answer any questions. You are welcome to join any race we are at, that goes for all of you watching this channel. Another idea I have is to hold a live session to provide Q&A and direct discussion. That may also be an option to allow a broader number of people that want to speak and can not travel to us. Any one else have any ideas?
Oh - thank you for the mention on COTA and Paul Ricard later this year. Driving a true F1 car will be a cool experience. If you did not know, I did own and drive two champ cars in the past. They are rather bad ass race cars but indeed not F1. Thanks again
Fantastic preparation on this car. I’m sure that all the viewers would agree. Motec is a great Australian company. Most professional teams in the world run this system. But , bloody hell mark ! That must have cost a fortune...... virtually the price of the car . Oh. And those Ohlins..... oh god.... Amazing components. Feel sorry for the other racers . Lol. Keep up your amazing video’s. 👍🇦🇺🥃
Well you are correct, motec is not cheap. The cost of the car, yes it was for sure more than the car. But the data that I have with telemetry is massive and would be hard to live without. Thanks!!
Great information and well said. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!, thanks for the nice words of support.
We in SA call them Formula M.... I built my first in 1984 and had great fun... BTW with a GSX 1100 Suzi motor... Also ran a 1000 GS.... nice to see the development....
That is cool, thanks for sharing with everyone. I am not surprised motorcycle powered race cars have been around for longer than I am aware of in the US. Thanks for subscribing to this channel!
Very interesting...the high tech version of what we run...gsxr750s in a TQ midget.
Do you run an external electric crank case vacuum pump? In addition to the dry sump vacuum contribution. Worth about 4-6hp in a 750. 5HP is 5HP!
Thanks for the note. No, we do not use any external vacuum pump only dry sump. For grins, maybe I can add a sensor logging crankcase pressure to see where the engine is and go from there. Good note I thank you for this, cheers
Hey!
How can one find the chain driven differential (colored in blue)?
Have been looking all over Quaife's website, and couldn't find anything...
Thanks!
Ah, I use Taylor Race engineering - www.taylor-race.com. They can set you up with what you need.
Tell them Nixon Motorsport sent you, I don’t get compensated in any way so you know. I like these guys, they are very good that’s all
Hey! I'm about 1 year out from graduating college with my PhD and was looking Into trying to climb the scca to an fia f3 car post graduation. Do you think we could dm and you could maybe help with a plan? I've seen a few videos here and there but nothing that really helped. I just know that these cars are a stepping stone that you can use to get there and they seem amazing to get into at relatively decent costs
Hi, send email to me and we can discuss what you are looking for. Sales@nixonmotorsports.com. Cheers
You keep saying motosycle....It's funny I say that too sometimes.And I'm a Moto guy
From which donor are the uprights/brakes?
Not sure I follow the question, sorry
From which donor car are the uprights/brakes? Mazda miata?@@NixonMotorsports
@@MaciusSzwed The uprights are not from a donor car, they are purpose built Stohr F1000 uprights as well as the suspension parts. For Brakes, these are Wilwood calipers with custom rotors and hats. thanks for the questions. Keep em coming.
Yes I see that now! All these special made CNC milled parts is what make these cars very expensive! You said you have invested over a 100k in it! For that kind of money I can buy a real but old F1 car or Indycar from the 80-90s...@@NixonMotorsports
That's a valid question. I have seen people rebuilding Honda civic hubs for F1000.
@@MaciusSzwed
With the Ferrari stickers surprised you don’t use Ducati engines.
Good point, I have considered Ducati among other engines. My race car was originally a Suzuki engine. It is the normal considerations like form factor, weight, RPM due to some space limitations with rear sprockets, etc. It would be a fun project to do a back to back comparison that’s for sure. Thanks for the comment!
Are those sharp leading edges to the sidepod ducts?!
Yes, correct those are air inlets for cooling. One side is water and the other side oil coolers. I hope that helps, let me know if you have more questions.
@@NixonMotorsports Why are they sharp? they should be rounded? youll have quite volatile and disrupted flow as you change direction.
@@jamiepursall that may be the case. My aero guy has us focused on other areas for the moment. I will mention that to him. Thanks for the message and suggestion. Cheers
This looks like a very expensive class of racing. What is the cost compared to FA?
Cost for the F1000 can be lower cost per mile than a traditional FA. For example the Swift FAs with 4AGE engines used to have a refresh every 400 miles, now I believe that is a little higher. I know some F1000 racers that do not spend crazy money for the extra performance for example running bone stock engines. In general to your question, If you controled yourself the F1000 I believe would be a little lower cost than the pure FAs. Hope this helps
@@NixonMotorsports if I remember, Formula Atlantic uses a 2 liter 4 cylinder engine?
@@repetitivemotion The Swift 008a and Swift 014a both used 1.6 liter 4AGE engines, the Swift 016a used the Mazda 2.3 little engine. There may be other Atlantic's that I am not aware of but these are the ones that ran the Pro series in the US for many years. thanks for the comment!
@@NixonMotorsports Maybe I’m thinking of Formula Ford 2000
@@repetitivemotionAh, that seems right. Sure thing.
I understand that you have chosen a zx10r and the majority uses a zx10r or gsx1000rr with one or two using s1000rr but why. Why did you choose zx10r. Why are there so few with other engines eg. bmw and why does nobody use a honda engine.
Great question, for me I selected the ZX10R only because I knew I could purchase dry sump kits for the engine. My guess, any one of the modern super bike 1k engines would work very well. There is packaging to also consider, meaning how well will the engine fit in the bay and such. In my circle here in the US, majority of F1000 and P1 race cars are using ZX10R. Cheers
How many people ask you how your "Ferrari" race car is doing?
Funny, yes a few ask that. I love Ferrari that is true.
I asked because of the red color & Ferrari decals. I am an ex-SCCA competitor & forever a fan. [TR3, FV, FSV] @@NixonMotorsports
