I'm a little concerned about how thin it might get in terms of driver numbers due to there being so many single seater series but overall new cars are welcome!
@@John-ok8tsiracing actually has a bad track record of this. They will keep a dead series live on the service for years if someone continues to pay for it🤷
F3 will be retired within a year. This is just an updated f3 car. The old F3 was the dallara f317 and the super formula light is the dallara f324. It's just an upgraded version of the f317
Generally excited but a few concerns: Naming it SF Lights leads me to think it will not replace the current F3 championship. This is bad for multiple reasons. First, it will split participation. Second, players that recently bought the F3 will most likely pay full price for this as it is a new series with the F3 coexisting on paper despite most likely dying on participation. Third, we will most likely have again pressure to put Japanese tracks on it, while F3 was a global series without any bias to one country. Fourth, and this is a minor one, the brand SF Lights will be unknown to many people while F3 was a known brand despite the car technically not being a modern representation of F3 anymore. Would be a way better solution to just replace the Formula C with it, keep it without any country-bias and give people some money back after buying the soon outdated F3. Also, I really hoped this would get rid of the "red on dark red" rev lights steering wheel, but at least it seems like the rev limiter is WAY more forgiving than in the current F3.
LMU has ruined IMSA for me, but I want to have a go with rain this season. Leaving me thinking probably F4 or maybe FF1600. But this new formula car looks rad. Will this car have rain tyres on release?
thought it would replace but them naming it SF Lights might actually make it a new series which would be questionable giving it's a direct successor of the F317
@@Hexadeci same , hope it handles more like the current f3 . I really didn't like the f4 after driving the f3 , and i only got 2 or 3 weeks of racing in it so this came early into my transition to f3 .
Forgot tk note , this car should be quire faster thzn the current f3 and has more power so in theory it *should* be more like the f3 or sf23 than the f4 . But thats on theory@@Hexadeci
Too many open wheelers now, the player spread is becoming too much. SF grids are already quite empty and this car is too similar to the f3. Its a nice thing to have and im sure the quality will be top as always, but its just a shame that it likely wont get the attention it deserves. Something needs to be done about the very high number of different series running simultaneously because quite a few of them just stay empty most of the time
Once again iracing diluting its content and the people complain about participation rates. If they are going to introduce a new class of open wheel then they should take one away
@@drchtct they probably won’t as these aren’t a facelift, they have a different engine, different aero package, are for a different series etc. They announced this a while ago as well
Got the f3 a week ago. Joined I racing with 3 months sub and one week later was Black Friday so asked if I could do 2 years sub on the new acc rate since I wanted to try it before committing. Answer no 😁 all it takes is Assetto Corsa to make a similar ranked in a one time purchase and they will see people fleeing
@mjonesmotorsportsbarcharts lol calm down. If you split drivers across 10 or 100 series you will have different partecipation, it's simple math. It's better for every driver to have more splits possible. And you purchase cars that can become useless in a few months
The Open Wheel roster just keeps getting better 👌🏼
stuffeyy!
I'm a little concerned about how thin it might get in terms of driver numbers due to there being so many single seater series but overall new cars are welcome!
@Daz555Daz Hence licence split coming at the right time. People won't be as protective of IR
And bigger. They probably need to kill a few series.
@@John-ok8tsiracing actually has a bad track record of this. They will keep a dead series live on the service for years if someone continues to pay for it🤷
Please, we need Sugo and Autopolis to complete the Super Formula tracks!
I bet this will be a popular class. Fast enough to be challenging but not death at every corner haha
F3 use to be the most popular before f4. i think it'll retake that title now.
@@cmason87 Is F4 that popular ?
@@Kpaxlol very popular, always has splits and competition.
Man that turbo sounds so good
Looking forward to see the difference between this and the F3!
Well if they went with the dallara 320, it's about 140hp short of the f3
@@SerLongdoober he means the old iRacing F3, not the FIA F3. This is the new 324 by the way
That is a lovely sound. So many nuances in the sound. Is this a hint at an upgraded sound engine?
@@drchtctso likely down 80ish to the F3 2019
Blow off sounds so good!
this is just the sweet middle point between f4 and sf. great job as always. thank you guys!
the turbo 🤤
OMG this looks SO nice. Im loving the Super Formula, but I need this also
Just finished a season of F3 officials and F3.5 with my league. This is ideal
I see you, Steven! Let’s go!!
Looks like it'll be great training for accelerating in the SF. The balance of speed against the snap oversteer limit takes time to learn.
Great to see the F3 class get the updated model. iRacing in 2024 is on fire!!! That turbo 🤤
I love those dramatic presentations showing off a bathtub as it was James Web Space Telescope.
These cars look fricking awesome! So good, so much fun. Nice job guys! Can't wait to rock these with VR muhaha.
Now we just need Super GT...
They scanned supergt years ago but couldn't get car data so it was never released, could be a cool series still
@@1xRacer yeah, and Gran Turismo has the Super Gt license i think, right?
Hello viewers SuperGT here
That shift moment on 0:45! I can't remember seeing shifter pedals animated before.
They are on some cars, a recent thing though
Pretty much every new car introduced in the last year has this feature now.
That turbo sound goes brrrr... stustustustu
Great, more f4/f3 type open wheelers, exactly what iRacing didn't have enough of!
F3 will be retired within a year. This is just an updated f3 car. The old F3 was the dallara f317 and the super formula light is the dallara f324. It's just an upgraded version of the f317
Ahhh you’re mad
I wish we could have a F2!
These are going to be fun
So good. I can't wait to get behind the wheel and drive this one.
Looks awsome❤
Hope we will get endurance in open wheel
Bro stop edging us, show us da rain almighty iracing gods
Can't wait to give it a spin
If you bought the Dallara F3 less then a year ago, will you get something like a discount on this new car?
OMG! These cars look amazing! 😍 Great job iRacing!
Rip f3 😭
yh but this pretty much is a f3
@@thomasberry8873it’s a little fast than the iracing f3
@@gretsky3463it’s the dallara 324, so it is an f3 car lol
@@diigdugg The current f3 has more power, similar aero but I didn’t see this have drs.
@@gretsky3463 it’s the same chassis and body. as for DRS i don’t believe super formula lights has it
Can't wait for them to put FZero cars in!
Hope this means the older dallara F317 is retired... This new car (324)
is just a regional F3 car for japan.
This dallara 324 is used in euro formula as well not just sf lights
Please put all racing series in in iracing And also in 50 states and all 200 countries
Bandits will love it
Hands movement, iracing is heading in the right direction. Not a big thing but big things are made of subtle ones.
Why no week 13 SF LITEA series? sticking it only in battle of little wings seems odd.
Someone tell that boy (or ai) if he’d just pull the tear off he could actually SEE to make the pass!
I hit the tear-off button so many times in a race, if it were real life my visor would be like 2 inches thick at the start. LOL!
@@angryginger791 lol the car might be underweight by the time you’re done with the tear-offs XD
That’s a little rocket 🚀
The gear padal are a new animation? I looked at F4 a few days ago, and it doesn't have that animation.
They looks and sound awesome
We need some more street courses
I need it now, I can't wait!!
Is this around the same speed as f3? What class license do I need for this?
Idk either I need to know😅
Indy NXT next?
Indypro2000
Is it just me or is the hand animation for gear changes new? (I've never noticed that in iRacing before but I could be wrong!)
Definitely grabbing that!
Oh yes, take my money 😁
Sounds like a Buick Enclave on the on-ramp.

ACTUALLY EXCITED
LMU has ruined IMSA for me, but I want to have a go with rain this season. Leaving me thinking probably F4 or maybe FF1600. But this new formula car looks rad. Will this car have rain tyres on release?
I’m ready!
Awesome ❤
Guessing this will either replace the F317 or be used alongside it?
thought it would replace but them naming it SF Lights might actually make it a new series which would be questionable giving it's a direct successor of the F317
Will be retired.
My guess is it will run side by side with it like the formula 3.5 is doing. It could kill the f3 series if that’s the case. But I have no idea.
does it have push to pass?
Ngl didnt even know this was a thing guess i just assumed drivers went from JPF4 to this maybe GT500 in between lol
👍 How about Mercedes 190E DTM Race Car, or BMW M3 E30 DTM, or BMW M1 Procar 😁 I wolud pay double for each!
Was this also a sneak peak at the new grass????
We already have the new grass at Okayama, Mugello, Sebring and Ledenon. Okayama also has the new laser scanned kerbs.
NGL i prefer the sound of the curfent f3 but we ll see how this one drives , current one is perfect tbh.
Agree. I’ll miss the current F3 sound a lot if it is phased out. Same with the handling. This looks more like a fast F4 to me.
@@Hexadeci same , hope it handles more like the current f3 . I really didn't like the f4 after driving the f3 , and i only got 2 or 3 weeks of racing in it so this came early into my transition to f3 .

Is this the next step after F4, or it's an inbetween F3 and F2?
It’s the new f3
We need the new F2 car
Super GT next plz thnx
So many "Super" series. I'm wanting Super Modifieds. They are some of the most insane racecars around. Probably never happen tho...
A Formula race without a Redbull livery?😮
As cool as this, I’d love to see you guys give some love to those of us that love dirt road with more tracks and cars
🔥🔥🔥
Why no side pod like irl?
dallara 320 has the side pod and is used is euro formula and SF lights. This is the 324 so slight different
Just take my money.....
so is this going to be the new F3 car? or will it be its own new series
I guess both ?
Okay so where is the rain gameplay video? Shorts are good, but where the 2 min video 😅
Love it 🔥
cool, can we race these in the wet?
I’ve grinded in super formula to where I’m now comfortable racing in it and not wrecking, so this series would be too slow for me 😂
Super Formula Lights = Japanese F3 race.
Would rather see an updated F3 car... Not a SF Lite
IM STIFF!

wooooooo
Bought the Dallara F317 a few weeks ago, I hope you give a big discount given this is the facelift of the exact same Dallara model
Me too
