In this race the following ratios were in use (Hewland Mk9, final drive 10/31): 1. 17/33 2. 20/32 3. 22/30 4. 25/27

not boats allowed on roads.

With the high adrenalin level during the start you don't get frightened - just annoyed - when that sort of thing happens (I've tried it 🙂). A thing that surprised me when I raced Formula Fords myself was the way that especially the start seems to happen in slow-motion due to the adrenalin and focus. I think the starts always looked much more chaotic from trackside than from behind the weel. Was your car affected at all by that 'yump'? It didn't seem to be from the video, but maybe the black Crosslé (#43) was affected as it seemed to slow coming out of Tarzan after the start. A 1990 or later Van Diemen front suspension probably wouldn't have tolerated that wheel-banging, the shorter front suspesnion arms on your RF87-RF89(?) vintage probably saved the race for you 🙂 I think what was potentially much worse was what the guy in the yellow Lotus 69 did on lap 5 when he rode over the kerb on the right and came right back over to the left afterwards on a pretty fast part of the track - I don't think he was using his mirrors. Luckily, he finally noticed corrected just before you would have banged wheels - he left you with no place to go otherwise and he had already lost that corner through his rallycrossing. Thanks for the video - and don't worry about the blurry picture - it was still very enjoyable. Zandvoort still looks like a fun circuit!

@@andersbonde2593 The suspension (RF89 front suspension on a RF88) actually was unharmed. Only the rear anti roll bar was bent and caused a mean understeering I had to struggle with.

@@Sc0mber Thanks for the reply. Yes, that understeer was visible in the video, especally in the tighter turns, but I hadn't linked it to the first corner incident - I just thought the car was inadvertently set up that way as it was apparent from the very first corner. Good job you did there, in spite of the understeer!

Yes, it is. ...only 3151m long, but quite challenging. It's located in the south of France: goo.gl/maps/H94eEGxAarXKh2wx9

Thanks! No there was no oil there. ...just a driver out of practise on a moderately balanced car. ...and this is not Steve. Sorry! 💁‍♂ ...but thanks anyway!🙂

Sorry, this footage is by Oke with a RF88 VanDiemen. ...but thanks anyway 🙂

@@Sc0mber sorry my applogies,,, I assumed it was cricri... But still a great race, i race a Vandiemen RF85... in fact the former debutant car from Tom Kirstensen... Keep it up buddyy

Hello who are You or what is your name in FB ?

@@christianderidder , hahaha, we gaan samen eten zaterdag ,we kennen elkaar

@@D3Sshooter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh yes, it was! 🙂

Hello Christian! It's all fine! I also had an issue not seeing yellow flags in time at this weekend, so I must not yell too loud. ;-) ...and at these track positions it's not that important anyway. ...nevertheless it was nice racing! Thanks!

Started at 10th and finished at 7th position overall.

C'était vraiment très proche, mais je n'ai pas pu le rattraper...

T’as un jolie coup de volant en tout cas! J’ai fait une école de pilotage en 95, c’était 4 jours sur des Formules Renault mais je n’ai jamais eu la chance de faire une vraie course. Maintenant je fais 2-3 sorties circuit par an avec ma voiture mais c’est pas pareil. Bonne continuation!!

@@garyrandom7512 Merci beaucoup! J'ai piloté une voiture de course pour la première fois à Lédenon en 2001. Lors de cette course, j'étais de retour sur cette piste pour la première fois en vingt ans. C'était donc une belle course...

I was wondering if it was a misalignment of a loose nut behind the wheel. 😉

Yeah well for football you need a ball and 2 nets, for tennis you need a ball 2 rackets and a net. For motorsports you need a vehicle, a racing track, stewards and emergency responders on scene in case of a crash. And that’s the minimum. Idk how this dream is achievable but i hope someone finds a way.

@@pet3r387 It can be like ciclism,It can be great

@@pet3r387 Vehicle (Ball) Track (Field/Court) every sport has a safety team on board so all they need now is enough space to place a track down. Pricey but so are stadiums

ay dont call him bad he probably miscalculated the length of his axles

thus its really funny\^o^/

These are classic FF1600 - not quite an F3 car but much more fun to race

@@n4s117 Obrigado N4S, antes eu não gostava de nada que não fosse F1 agora as acho muito interessantes e competitivas, F3, F1600 também adoro kart.

agreed

Pardon, je n'ai pas de vidéo de cet accident...

Thanks! Yes, just one of those races which have been just about 400 metres to long... ...but that's motorsport.

Well... the basic idea of (full course-) CODE60 is to instantly slow down every car in every place to 60kph to freeze the gaps between each car. Even with modern sportscars having speed limiter buttons and complete GPS-surveillance this only barely works if the race control is punishing really every rule violation very strickly (see in WEC, NLS, etc.). ...but with cars that do not even have a speedometer, and no real time surveillance at all...? ...actually here again the CODE60 became a factual FCY. No gaps were preserved, the grid collected itself tightly before restart. ...and then you can see what happens in FCY situations: A few drivers are strained to watch every marshall post for bringing out green flag, everytime and everywhere on the track. As you have no radio, you just don't know when to expect restart, so you are on high alert literally all the time. ...that's everything but save! ...especially with many drivers doing something else in their cars but not watching out for restart. A safety car is literally the only way reasonable way at the moment as the restart area is clearly defined an the restart is announced by safety car lighting.
