Bonjour Eliott, merci d'avoir regardé ma vidéo et pour votre question. En 2019 les toilettes étaient trop sales pour vouloir les utiliser dès le jeudi avant 24 heures. En revanche, les sanitaires étaient en parfait état en 2024 et étaient nettoyés quotidiennement. Un compliment absolu de ma part aux équipes d'organisation et de nettoyage.

Hi @Travelife2000, thank you for watching my video and for your question. It's a Ford Cosworth V8, but I don't know which version. Quoting Wikipedia: Its development in 1967 for Colin Chapman's Team Lotus was sponsored and funded by major American automotive manufacturer Ford. For many years it was the dominant engine in Formula One, with the whole engine program funded by Ford's European division, Ford Europe and engines badged as "Ford" for Formula One championship races. DFVs were widely available from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s and were used by every specialist team in F1 during this period with the exception of Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Renault, BRM and Matra, who all designed, produced and ran their own engines. Variants of this engine were also used in other categories of racing, including CART, Formula 3000 and sports car racing. The engine is a 90°, 2,993 cc V8 with a bore and stroke of 85.67 × 64.90 mm (3.373 × 2.555 in). It reliably produced over 400 bhp, specifically reaching 408 bhp at 9,000 rpm, and 270 ft⋅lbf (370 N⋅m) of torque at 7,000 rpm. By the end of its Formula 1 career, it achieved over 500 bhp, with a peak of 510 bhp at 11,200 rpm. The 1983 DFY variant had an updated bore and stroke of 90.00 × 58.83 mm (3.543 × 2.316 in), maintaining a displacement of 2,993 cc. It produced 520-530 bhp at 11,000 rpm and 280 ft⋅lbf (380 N⋅m) of torque at 8,500 rpm. Funded by Ford, the DFV was freely available and dominated Formula 1 in the 1970s. With 155 world championship races won, 12 driver's and 10 constructor's titles between 1967 and 1983, it is the most successful engine in the history of Formula 1. During this time, no other manufacturer was able to design a similarly competitive naturally aspirated engine. Only with the advent of turbo engines in 1977 did the DFV gradually fall behind. In the early 1980s, Formula 1 teams gradually switched to turbo engines; in the 1986 season, only turbocharged engines were allowed. Cosworth had the supercharged GBA in its range, which, unlike the DFV, was only available to selected customers. When the FIA surprisingly decided in October 1986 to allow conventional naturally aspirated engines - now with 3.5 liters displacement - in addition to the turbos from the 1987 season, Cosworth was the only engine manufacturer who was able to react to this rule change at short notice. From the DFV block designed in 1966, a 3.5-liter variant was developed within three months, which was given the designation DFZ. The quickly built DFZ was an interim solution. In 1988 the further developed version DFR, which was still based on the DFV, appeared. In its first year, Benetton received the DFR engine exclusively, after which it was used in various versions until 1991 by 14 mostly smaller teams as a customer engine. Ford and Cosworth recognized early on that the DFR could not compete permanently with the new ten and twelve-cylinder engines from Ferrari, Honda, or Renault. Therefore, at the beginning of 1988, the decision was made to develop a completely new naturally aspirated engine. After defining the concept, the first drawings of the engine known as HB were made in May 1988, in December 1988 the first blocks ran on the test bench, and at the French Grand Prix in July 1989 the HB went into racing.[citation needed] According to the original plans, the HB engines were only to be permanently available to the Benetton team as so-called works engines, while customer teams were to be supplied exclusively with the old DFZ and DFR engines. Although teams like Lotus and Tyrrell were already trying to get customer HBs in the spring of 1989, Ford and Cosworth stuck to this dichotomy until the end of 1990, under pressure from Benetton. However, Ford in particular was not satisfied with Benetton's results. Benetton ended the 1990 season third in the Constructors' Championship; In 1990, however, the team had repeatedly lost out to the Tyrrell Racing Organization, whose cars with old DFR engines had been faster in some qualifying sessions than the Benettons with the HB blocks. Since Benetton had also only won two races in 1990, Cosworth and Ford became more willing in the fall of 1990 to make the HB engine available to at least one other team in 1991. The choice fell on the Formula 1 debutant Jordan Grand Prix, from which Benetton did not expect any danger. After just one year, Jordan abandoned the HB engines. For 1992, Benetton again requested an exclusive supply of HB engines. For this reason, and also because the previous customer engines of the DFR type were no longer competitive, Ford initially announced in autumn 1991 that it would completely discontinue the customer engine business at the end of the season and concentrate exclusively on Benetton. In December 1991, however, there was a reversal: Because there was still a need for some small teams, Ford and Cosworth also provided from 1992further customer engines available. The customer engine business was now operated with the HB blocks, however, the customer HBs were at least one or more stages of development behind the Benetton factory engines. In addition, until 1993, customer engines were generally not serviced at Cosworth itself, but at Grand Prix Engines Services (GPES), a subsidiary of Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR). John Judd's company Engine Developments initially supplied independent customer engines. They were cheaper than Cosworth's HB engines, but were no longer available from 1993 because Judd from 1993 on the provision of Yamaha-Engines specialized for Tyrrell. The coexistence of Benetton's factory HBs and customer HBs existed until 1993. It was only broken up in 1993 by the McLaren customer team, which emphatically demanded that equivalent engines be supplied and was able to enforce this from the middle of the season. By 1994 only small, economically weak teams that had no access to factory engines used it for lack of alternatives. While still lighter and generally more economical than the V10s and V12s it was down on power. The HB had become the "motor of the poor.

Hi Luka, thank you for watching my video and for your question. You are right. The original engine is replaced by a Ford Cosworth V8.

@dreamitraceit cool. Great driving BTW. 😉

Hi snovart, thank you for watching my video and for your question. Prices vary each year. Generally rising, with the exception of special offers, for example between Christmas and New Year. It is therefore best to consult the LRS Formula website for current prices.

So I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4G3XquVq7enpLs Thank you, Brian, for watching my video, for your comment and for revealing, why your channel doesn't have any content.

Hi David, thank you so much for watching my video, for your comment and compliment! So good to read you have granted yourself to fulfill your dream of driving an F1 car and that you have enjoyed the Benetton, wanting even to do it a next time. Enjoy the memories as well as the pleasure of looking forward to the next time.

Olá @joaofilipe3207, simplesmente não dirijo rápido o suficiente nas curvas para gerar muito mais do que 1G. Talvez alguns picos em torno de 1,5G, mas isso é tudo. Obrigado por assistir meu vídeo e por sua pergunta.

Para um Renault F1 acredito que a Winfield Racing School seria a sua melhor aposta: Em 2017, a WINFIELD RACING SCHOOL assinou uma importante parceria para a marca e torna-se Parceiro Oficial de Experiência de Condução da RENAULT F1 TEAM (que então tornou-se ALPINE F1 TEAM em 2021), cobrindo todos os programas de condução de F1 da equipe. E caso contrário, Ascari Race Resort. Na LRS Formula você pode dirigir um Benetton F1, Prost F1 ou Williams F1.

Hi, I tried, but on braking I must accidently have touched the throttle pedal at the same time, because the pedals are so close to each other. Even if I touched the throttle pedal just slightly, then it obstructs the gearbox to shift down as a precaution measure. Thank you for watching my video and for your question.

@@dreamitraceit How easy is the hand clutch to operate? I plan to do this

Hi, driving F1 was my boyhood dream come true. I hope, you can realise yours as well some day. Please post footage of it then. Thank you for watching mine :-)

😁

Thank you for watching my video and for your comment 😀

Hi Mark, driving a Formula Renault is more accessible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Ctc4OIibmSa7M Thank you for watching my video and for your comment.

Hi Nathan, thank you for watching my video and for your comment. The cones for indicating braking point, steering entry, apex and exit are helpful. But the cones in the middle of the track are not beneficial (to me).

Just try for yourself and you'll see. And your sadness will be gone. Please don't forget to share footage of your attempt on KZbin ;-)

Bonjour Laurent, c'est contre les moustiques ;-) Merci d'avoir regardé ma vidéo et pour votre commentaire.

;-)

Hi Lucas, thanks for watching and asking. To be honest; I have lost counting. So be warned; it is addictive ;-)

Hi Martijn, thanks for watching and asking. Perhaps we will meet next year, as I have booked for Magny-Cours Club as well. I advise you to create footage of your experience yourself. For example with a GoPro. In the past LRS Formula offered a video, but this year not anymore. No problem, because it is more reliable to do this yourself. And you can get better recordings as well.

@@dreamitraceit Sorry for the late reply, but thank for the answer. I'm now having some prefun on my own created Club circuit in Assetto Corsa. Still work in progress, but fun to do while looking forward to the day kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYaoiK1nasaHpbs

Hi Jose, yes, this day and this car are two of the highlights of 2023. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Hi Jac, you are right; this track is circuit Dijon-Prenois. Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Thank you so much, Rinus, for your kind compliments :-) Especially from you, as I have seen your brave driving in your videos. And thank you for watching, too. The JS2 R tends to be a bit tailhappy, when driver inputs are not ideal, but at the same time the Ligier responds very well to correcting oversteer with counter steering and loading the axle by weight transfer, where it is needed. I cherish, I had the opportunity to drive this car.

Hi Jakko. Yes. First time was due to stone cold tyres on pit exit, as I was the only driver on this car this day and I started too enthusiastically. Second time I unbalanced the car by hitting the curbs too hard in corner 13 Imola. Third time I put too much weight transfer to the front of the car because of still braking a bit on steering entry into corner 3 Estoril. I must admit that I prefer the instructions, I got last year from instructor Adrien Girard, which you can watch in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqKwapumpsqra7s Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Dankjewel, Jakko 🙂

Hi Mister Camworks, thank you for watching and for your comment :-)

Hi Ivan, definitely use your own GoPro. It will be the most reliable option to have footage of your experience. Check your footage after your first outing with the Formula Renault, so you know for sure, that your camera is angled correctly and you will have decent footage of your F1 driving. You do not have to worry. Even if you don't prepare at all up forehand, they will take you through all the process. (Driving away will be the most difficult issue; just imagine, you're driving away in 5th gear and do not fully release the clutch pedal, before you have moved 20 or 30 metres.) But in my opinion you will get more out of it, if you manage to prepare a bit. Physically by excercise. Drivewise by simulation on Rfactor2 / Assetto Corsa, or go karting (a fast one, not a slow rental kart). Enjoy your experience! I would love to see the footage of it. Thank you for watching mine and for your questions.

@@dreamitraceit Thank you so much for your respond and all the information. I will prepare 2 GoPro and hope will get some good videos so I can share 😊 Thanks Ivan

Bonjour LegitDlr, il semblerait que LRS Formula ne propose plus cette expérience. Il s'agissait d'une collaboration entre LRS Formula et mracingexperience.com, où cette expérience est mentionnée sur le site Web. Mais je n'ai pas encore reçu de réponse de Mracing à ma demande d'information. La seule expérience que j’ai, c’est la façon dont cela a été organisé via LRS Formula. Et cela a très bien fonctionné. LRS Formula propose parfois de nouvelles offres et il semble qu'il vaut mieux être rapide. Par exemple, j'ai longtemps hésité à essayer la Jaguar F1, principalement à cause du prix, mais cette option a pris fin l'année dernière, donc l'opportunité a été perdue. Dommage, car j'aurais pensé que ce serait vraiment cool de conduire ça. Merci d'avoir regardé ma vidéo et pour votre question.

Hoi Jakko, heel gaaf ja. Dank je.

@@dreamitraceit wow! Ja als je toch "in de buurt" bent 😀 die formule Renaults zijn echt gaaf inderdaad... ik ben ook een 2e keer LRS aan het plannen, zo verslavend!

Ja, stimmt allerdings. Ich bin leider kein Rennfahrer. Und wenn ich Sie gut verstehe, fehlt mir auch das Talent dazu. Das hätte ich auch gerne anderes gemöcht. Trotzdem gefällt es mir sehr um ein oder zwei Mal pro Jahr diesen Traum zu erleben. Bei niedriger Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung ruckelte das Auto bereits beim kleinsten Druck auf das Gaspedal, da das von LRS Formula selbst entwickelte Traktionskontrollsystem eingriff, das eher dem Schutz des Motors denn als Fahrerassistenzsystem dient. Ich würde mich freuen die Videos Ihrer F1 Fahrten zu sehen, damit ich davon lernen kann. Danke für das Schauen meines.

Hi Gerard, thank you for your compliment and for watching. I hope, we will meet again some day. You are a true pleasure to spend a racing day with. This actual LMP3 was a delight to drive. So much better than the previous one we drove together last year. As well in steering (much better feeling because less influenced by power steering) as in braking (much better braking with a lot less brake pedal force needed). Do you have race plans for 2024?

Hi Joost, about 2024 nothing really well defined...Budget will drive as usual...FR 2.0 for sure and one extra still To Be Defined. I will let you know after Christmas offers. All my very best , I look forward to meet you again in 2024 on a track! Cheers@@dreamitraceit

Hoi Jakko, wat super gaaf, dat je daadwerkelijk een experience hebt gedaan 👍! Vertel; hoe heb je het ervaren? Is het gelukt om er een video van te maken en ga je die plaatsen op KZbin? Mijn rit in de LMP3 was 27 juli dit jaar; ik ben niet eerder toegekomen aan het verwerken van de video. Let in de tweede helft van december op aanbiedingen van LRS Formula, mocht je nog een keer willen gaan.

Hi Kerimca, thank you for watching my video and for your questions. Unfortunately I do not know the answers. I guess, it was not the original F1 engine but a Judd one instead and the RPM were limited. This experience is not on offer anymore at LRS Formula.

Hi Mikemer, thank you for your compliment and for your question. This drive was part of a F1 Bronze experience and being a preparation to drive a Prost F1 later that day. You can see actual prices at the website of LRS Formula. At that time the price for the F1 Bronze experience was between 1,5K and 2K.

Hallo Andrek, dank je voor het kijken van mijn video en voor je vraag. De rondetijden kun je zien op Mylaps Speedhive: beta.speedhive.com/sessions/5846269

Hi Neozone, thank you for watching my video and for your question. The car is powered by the same 3.7-litre Ford Duratec 37 V6 engine which is also in the JS P4, generating a maximum power output of 335 PS (246 kW; 330 hp)

Hi Roman, most of the time the cones are useful, but while overtaking they were a bit in my way...

Hi Roman, thank you for watching my videos and for your comment 🙂

Hoi Jakko, super gaaf, dat je dat gaat doen! Neem je een GoPro mee om het op te nemen? Ik verneem graag je feedback, hoe je het hebt ervaren 🙂. Ga je naar het Club of Grand Prix circuit?

@@dreamitraceit GP circuit en inderdaad camera mee 😀

Hi Sens4tion, just by booking it at LRS Formula. Thank you for watching my video.

for sure man! loved it@@dreamitraceit

Hi Jorge, thank you for watching my video and for your question. The camera at the tip air intake was not mine. If I remember and have seen it correctly, I guess, it was a GoPro Hero 5 Black. This year LRS Formula seemed to have quit recording videos, so be sure to take your own camera with you to get some footage of your experience.

Hi Sahan, thank you for watching my video and for your question. I did not pay for driving this actual car but for a less expensive F1 Bronze Experience, which failed however during my experience. LRS Formula upgraded my experience to this Prost V10, which belonged to the more expensive F1 Silver Experience, which you cannot book at LRS Formula at this moment. As a consequence I cannot actually answer your question, as there are no current prices available as well. You can book the F1 Bronze Experience however, which functions very well again, as I have seen with my own eyes less than a month ago, when I was driving the Ligier LMP3 again, but this time at the race track of Magny-Cours Grand Prix.
