SPA onboard in a F3 1000cc "screamer" Chevron B17 (F3 Historic)

[@Alext165]

As a motorsport fan of about 45 years I loved those 15 mins of film! Great racing 👍

[@roywinchel3620]

Great battle on one of the greatest tracks in the world. Loved it

[@aledelverne]

There is also a degree of bravery here. Because even if they are not taking risks, they are not going much slower than when those cars were racing for real. And can you imagine crashing in one of those? The same danger as then...

[@pit19931]

The risk is a little bit less mainly because of the track safety features the track has modern barriers multiple run off areas sandpits etc

[@sullybiker6520]

Track safety is miles better though; Great marshalls, medical professionals are all at hand now.

[@bird6691]

exactly, unless you are someone like me who has innate immortality you could be in real trouble.

[@ejsadlt]

Completely agree, however at what extent was it more dangerous tham this? Track safety in general is a big plus, but i cant wrap my head around on how much harder can this cars be driven in those times.

[@Zezezeze69]

@@ejsadlt I agree, I really don’t believe drivers back then were pushing the car at 100% all the time. You look at the best drivers of the era, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart etc, they were all known for not taking unnecessary risk.

[@ec7287]

Highlite of the video was at 9:18 where the other car locks up, gets passed going into the turn and then comes right back on the exit with a very distinct shot across the bow. Great racing! The driver here was a little hesitant at first to go flat at Eau Rouge at first, but he got into it later.

[@enzo_21x5]

wow I honestly enjoyed those 15 minutes watching and predicting who would come out on top. Big smile in the last minute when you overtook him 50 meters before the start finish line

[@sullybiker6520]

I really enjoy how respectful you all are.

Great racing, i really enjoyed the vibrating metal sound on downshifts, like a bicycle bell, "tring tring! coming through'.

[@SkarnDeBrax]

Really nice race to see. Thanks a lot for sharing

[@floydp4981]

Most rev counters in the 60s were like that, very sticky and flicky. They also had a tell tale needle which stuck at the max revs you had used, so the mechanics could see if you'd exceeded the rev limit you'd been given. 1000cc F3 was probably my favourite ever class. It was full of mature drivers who paid for their racing from their own earnings, not like todays grids of teen-agers fresh out of karting, all paid for by their well heeled fathers. In the 60s many families were reluctant to contribute because racing was so dangerous.

[@HarryHunterx]

Excellent Video and smooth driving. I enjoyed watching your fight with the other Car who was a bit faster approaching the corners, but overbraking nearly every time. And you outaccelerated him nearly every time out of the corners. Your style is much smoother. Please send more. Regards Harry

[@ericschmitz03]

I would say he is rather twitchy on the steering and is too heavy on the throttle out of many corners, seen by him oversteering and losing momentum several times throughout the race.

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Yes, the way he feels the steering at turn in with little wiggle

[@onorevolenullazzo4210]

@@ericschmitz03 Ok Senna

[@ec7287]

The other driver was much slower in the turns, locking up numerous times, but would always make it up on the straights. Very frustrating to race someone like that.

[@laurentsamson8927]

@@onorevolenullazzo4210 he's absolutely right. Not necessary to be Senna to see many errors and hesitating he does at each lap. Good and safe driving but not pro driving.

[@baTonkaTruck]

This looks so fun, the way you can play on the edge of traction. Thanks for posting!

[@meayers7]

Amazing Fight man!

[@glaisymc_old]

Excellent racing and sounds! Maybe starting the La source a bit more from the left would have helped a little up to the Eau Rouge and Kemmel strait :)

[@nicoiturre36]

yeah, looks like he had understeer but the real problem was that he wasnt using the whole track to attack the apex properly. It's crucial to get a decent La source and Eau Rouge and then overtake at Kemmel than try to overtake at La source and mess the Kemmel straight. I think you can do Blanchimont at full throttle if you use the whole track too

[@josefacundoabiega6146]

Nice footage, you can see the tachometer shaft needs replacing or lubrication, the needle changes position abruptly.

[@dvrbmw]

Great respect, you are true gentelman driver.

[@PINI73]

Buenísimo!! Gran lucha!! y Grande Spa!! Saludos!!

[@bas2362]

I’m so used to seeing F1 and GT3 cars blast through eau rouge and radion that this feels slow.

[@aledelverne]

Fantastic car. Looks so smooth

[@SakkieGB]

Wow, this driver has a VERY good sector 2 and 3! Eau Rogue and Radion must be extremely scary in one of these! That was the only place where the others were a bit faster! Great racing!

[@1schummif]

Always a joy to watch your uploads keep em' comming.

[@darkmatter6714]

Why is he not using the full width of the track on entry and exit to carry more speed?

[@pietrosal9629]

[@fr3088]

lovely video, so frustrating to see the greediness going into la source as it compromised the lap all the way past eau rouge to the les combes chicaine.

[@endapian]

Manual gears on the side ...!!! Good old time....!!!

[@hondaspeed6785]

That was awesome! This is how racing should be. No anti lock brakes, no traction control, no DRS fake overtakes which you are not even allowed to defend against, no downforce but still some slipstreaming. And the mutual respect between racers. I was on the edge of my seat for 15 minutes. And the final sprint to the finish line was the icing on the cake. Did he make it before the line?

[@Gefforex]

The car in front of you what Is loosing during down shift? Gasoline?

[@mrj3217]

Cool video I can see where he is losing time with slow throttle response . I could not drive that like that man.. I would be pushing so much .

[@p80mod]

I would love to race these!

[@ricklarner9263]

[@gertnood]

Why the jumping on the tach, or is that just some video quirk?

Awesome, love it 🤘👍👌👋

[@penzman]

Enjoyed it all.

[@matton36]

He messes up that corner coming onto the straight every time

[@matton36]

He lets everyone past him on the straight because he cant do that corner preceding it. He has the faster car but cant drive it. He should have won the race, if just not for that corner.

[@MP-lz1xb]

This looks fun af

[@MrFreezeProduct]

I don't know you nor have i seen one of your videos, but how did you manage to drive one of those ??

[@BR-bp8jk]

It's an old F3 car, not exactly unobtainable. He either owns it himself or the owner has him drive it which for an F3 car is less likely. Very affordable if you have any money at all, nowhere near the value of an F1 car. Example, a completely restored rolling chassis Chevron B17 offered right now for £60K, I've seen them for far less.

[@theoneeasyreg680]

[@jeremyrichards8327]

Always a good deal of slipstreaming especially on tracks like this.They used the Ford 997 Anglia engine and could pull 10 k. Rather vulnerable in those tight cockpits. At Snetterton on the old circuit you could hear them on the Norwich Straight at full revs with the sound almost pulsing with resonance.

[@jeremyrichards8327]

@@Loveitdownunder Thanks for the message. My brother who was 10 years older than me (I am 70 now) used to take me to Snetterton and Brands. You could stand at the exit of Paddock and you were on eye level with them. I remember the yellow F3 cars of Lanfranchi and Stiller Saw Frank Gardner at Snetterton. Love the Bathurst track. Have you seen Walkinshaw in the clip of him in the XJS .Saw him in a GRD when he was testing at Snetterton.
