Benetton B198 F1 4 laps @ Circuit Magny-Cours GP 28-07-2020 with LRS Formula Driving Experience

[@lucybarney1]

You can see your confidence building lap by lap as you start to trust the grip level and brakes

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Paul, thank you for watching my video. You are absolutely right. I definitely needed confidence in my braking, because one week earlier in Dijon-Prenois the brakes on this same car didn't give me any confidence at all. Perhaps new brake pads? I can only guess. And I wasn't the only contender that day mentioning this. But in Magny-Cours the brakes worked just fine. Nevertheless I kept extra margin while approaching the Adelaide corner. That's why I ignored the ideal line at the end of the preceeding straight and chose to brake in the middle of the track instead. Should I have failed to effectively operate the brake pedal (which needs so much force for a decent decelleration and is so close to the throttle pedal, that I need my left foot to stay completely left on the brake pedal even scraping along the clutch pedal to prevent operating the throttle pedal at the same time), I saw more tarmac-run-off-area there than the gravel run-off-area in the extension of the ideal braking zone. In addition to trusting the brakes and grip level a bit; the engine ran better in laps 3 and 4 than in the first 2 laps. All in all I wish this day could be my personal time loop (like in the movie 'Groundhog Day') and thus improve day by day. Yeah, this day had it all for me; on holiday in France with my family, heading for the race track on beautiful country roads, my son joining me to the track, driving Formula Renault in drizzle, rain and dry weather and of course driving the Benetton B198 as highlight of the day.

Braking at 5:15 was good man! When you watch the video afterwards yourself one is thinking that, damn it looks very slow. I know myself after driving a Williams at Anderstorp. But while one is driving.. its feels crazy fast :D

I thought it was a pretty good effort. Having driven an older F1 car, the 2-3 laps does not give you time to acclimatize. Better to keep it on the black stuff, than stick it in the wall... I was quicker in the Formula Vauxhall than I was in the F1 when I did it! :) The Formula Vauxhall however I was comfortable in, and had more laps...

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Darren, thank you for your compliment and for watching my video! Do you have footage of your experience in the F1 and Formula Vauxhall? I would love to watch. Most attendents of F1 Driving Experiences drive better lap times in the Formula Vauxhall/Renault than in the (old) F1 car. And although I haven't checked lately, I guess, I'm not an exception. I think that the cause is the accelerated taking or skipping of several steps of the motorsport ladder. And, just like you, I feel much more comfortable and confident in a Formula Vauxhall/Renault. Despite this, I can't resist the temptation of driving and feel the impressive power of an F1.

Originally I planned to do this this year after seeing these videos last year, but I found a half-amateur racing series in my country where I entered twice with a small formula car (slower than FR2.0) and was kinda humbled with what even that small formula with not too much of downforce can do. I think I will do a couple of more races with them and then maybe I will finally decide to try this experience and actually have enough confidence to give it some and get some Gs going in the turns :).

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Moravak/Milan, thank you for your reply. Very cool! I guess, you mean your video of the Carbonia Cup? That looks like a superb thing to do! What is that car passing you at 2:10 in that video?

@@dreamitraceit that is a World Series Renault with 3.5 V8 engine with about 500hp (I think) of Szymon Urbaniak. They were in the adjacent box, so when they finally fired up after they assembled the car properly, in the middle of the night ... 😅

[@milanaero]

@@dreamitraceit Also the car races in a different subcategory, all Formulae are one big category, so they race all together, but they are ranked in subcategories. So it happens that if you have only 3 people in a subcategory, you all get the trophy :)

[@dreamitraceit]

@Moravak / Milan, that Word Series Renault single seater is really cool! If you can make a deal with the owner, that you can drive it on the same financial conditions like when you would drive a LRS Formula F1 Bronze category car, I guess you could save yourself a trip to France. My guess is, that the driving experience itself would be a bit like the same.

[@dreamitraceit]

@Moravak / Milan, In your race series it's a full field of single seaters in this way and a good and efficient way of using the available track time.

It does not sound like the original either Judd or Renault V10 engine right? Was is it swapped as it probably reached the end of its life, and maybe for cheaper or easier to maintain engine?

[@RomanZerstoren]

That's really awesome! But those cones...

[@dreamitraceit]

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

[@delighted_music]

Did they actually lock the higher gears? It seems to me like that cause you were trying to shift up several times but it stayed at the same gear...

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi @Delighted Music! Thank you for watching my video and for your question. No, they didn't lock 6th gear. Just the digits on the display of the steering wheel did not correspond with the actual gear, which I did not know up front and which confused me. As a result I was not sure in which gear I actually was driving. On another day they explained me, this could happen, while up-shifting during too low revolutions. So maybe it was my own fault after exiting the pitlane.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hoi @Donoz82, dank je voor het kijken van mijn filmpje en voor je reactie. Super gaaf, man, jouw filmpje van je Puresport Ferrari 488 rit op Monza! En heel goede instructies/instructeur. Kon jij die tijdens jouw driving experience ook echt verstaan? Mijn ervaring is, dat ik het op de video perfect terug hoor, terwijl ik er in de auto niets van verstond door het motorgeluid. Je filmpjes van RacePlanet met de Lamborghini Huracan en Alpine A110 zijn ook super leuk. Daar zit een lekker tempo in. Die van 2020 had je wellicht niet zo'n geluk met het tempo van de te volgen auto? Hoe vergelijk jij je ervaringen bij RacePlanet, waar je een auto moet volgen, met een driving experience, waar je in 'vrije lucht' rijdt? Dit rijden in een F1 kostte zo'n 2,5K. Mocht je het je een keer kunnen veroorloven; het is zó gaaf! Ik fiets 250km in de week in plaats van dat ik die met de auto afleg. Van de bespaarde auto- en brandstofkosten gun ik me dit ;-)

[@donoz82Racing]

@@dreamitraceit hoi Joost, klopt helaas het geluid van de auto valt weg door communicatie met instructeur. Die op Zandvoort in 2020 was mijn eerste experience. Dus toen was ik zelf een stuk trager en er zat een hele trage deelnemer achter me. Mijn vader filmde op het rechte stuk en hij kwam bijna 10 seconden later langs op het rechte stuk. Bij Lamborghini rit had ik veel tips aan de instructeur gevraagd aangezien ik zelf een trage leerling ben. En dan valt in sommige stukken ineens het kwartje. Op Monza was ik veel te voorzichtig achteraf. En ik was zo geconcentreerd op het rijden dat ik vergat te schakelen. Als ik genoeg abonnees heb om geld te verdienen wil ik terug naar Monza voor de Ferrari F8 (nog sneller) en ook wat jij doet doen in formule auto's 👏. Als je net als ik topsnelheid verslaafd bent zou ik Monza adviseren. Als je goed rijd moet met de Ferrari F8 280 km/h GPS mogelijk zijn (290 teller ongeveer). Ultieme droom van mij ? In een Bugatti Chiron 400km/h op de Volkswagen testbaan rijden net als James May, maar dat is onmogelijk 😜

I guess the laptime difference between real life and RF2 was more than 10 or 20 seconds a lap, but I must admit, I haven't had the courage yet to check ;-) To me physical limits do play a role the faster I go and from lap 3 on, but the real reason is, that I just do not really know, where the limit of the car is. And as there is no 'reset'-button like in driving RF2, I struggled to pick up pace fast enough to do a decent job in 'only' four laps. This didn't prevent me however of having the time of my life and I still start smiling, when remembering this day.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hallo Ruud, dank je voor het kijken van m'n video en voor je enthousiaste reactie. Qua fysiek heb ik me voorbereid door op de fiets naar m'n werk te gaan (enkele reis 20 km) aangevuld met wat lichte fitness oefeningen (sit-ups, push-ups, oefeningen met lichte dumbells van ca. 4 kg). Ik kan aanbevelen om qua fysiek (zeker goed voor de nek) en reactievermogen ook voor te bereiden op bijvoorbeeld een Rotax Max racekart, maar voor mij viel die mogelijkheid helaas weg. Qua baankennis inderdaad veel KZbin filmpjes bekeken tot ik de baan kon dromen en proberen af te kijken, wat qua snelheid mogelijk is. En op de simulator hetzelfde circuit gedownload en met diverse eenzits-raceauto's getraind voor reactievermogen en baankennis. Graag had ik dit 1 op 1 omgezet naar een even zo netjes resultaat op de baan, maar daar ben ik kennelijk net even te geremd en voorzichtig voor. Bij een F1 Experience van LRS Formula rijd je 's ochtends 2 maal een kwartier met een Formule Renault op het circuit om 's middags na de lunch in de F1 te rijden. Op zich maakt dit een dagvullend programma, hoewel je natuurlijk het grootste gedeelte van de dag aan het wachten bent. Maar dat is vaak zo met racen... ;-) Ik heb in de tussentijd er wel van genoten, hoe de anderen het deden.

Grüss dich, FM. Herzlichen Dank fürs Schauen meines Videos! Ich kann dir nur raten so eine Fahrt zu machen. Am besten eine F1 Full Experience damit du nicht nur selber fährst sondern auch einen Taxi-Fahrt erlebst in einem F1-Dreisitzer. Die Strecken Magny-Cours GP und Dijon-Prenois bieten lange Geraden, um eine tolle Geschwindigkeit zu erreichen.

[@FM-zt1xv]

@@dreamitraceit vielen Dank für die Tipps! Ich behalte mir das auf jeden Fall im Hinterkopf!

[@dreamitraceit]

Gern geschehen. Viel Spass! :-)

Im doing this!

[@dreamitraceit]

Great decision! When will you be driving the F1? Thank you for watching my video :-)

[@enn_f1976]

you can t imagine how jealous i am

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi, thank you for your response and for watching my video :-) Driving a F1 car was my boyhood dream more than 35 years ago. So don't be jealous, but start dreaming and believing, that one day you just might be able to do this yourself... I'll cross fingers for you ;-)

[@aaronsoto4622]

Someone should go pickup all those cones. .

[@dreamitraceit]

:-) Hi Aaron, thank you for your response and for watching my video. Some cones are very helpful for indicating braking points and steering points to an inexperienced driver like me. While overtaking the Prost I would have wished the cone on the tarmac was out of my way... ;-)

[@ebob4177]

It's getting hard to distinguish between reality and video game these days.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Spaguette Lasagne, thank you for watching and for your comment :-) The videos of both actually look quite the same sometimes. But the experience in reality is something totally different.

го погоняем в рфактор 2 , я в него тоже гоняю

[@dreamitraceit]

Я пытался подготовиться, практикуя рфактор 2. Это помогает получить идеальные линии. Однако ощущение скорости и ускорения сложно смоделировать.

[@Классик-ц2ь]

@@dreamitraceit В целом рфактор 2 лучший симулятор ?

[@dreamitraceit]

Rfactor 2 меня тоже вполне устраивает. Прямо как Assetto Corsa

Hi Stephen, thank you once again for your response and for watching my videos :-) This video was also registered with a GoPro Hero 7 Black in GoPro color mode, linear field of view and Hypersmooth image stabilization. No color grading was done in post.

[@riropower]

What would happen if you wreck this car? I‘m sure you don‘t have to pay and insurance would cover it?🤣

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Riropower, many thanks for watching my video and for your question. I bought off the deductible as far as possible with additional insurance, but if I had incurred damage, I would still have had to pay a remaining deductible of €2,000. That certainly played a part, why I didn't drive faster ;-)

[@riropower]

@@dreamitraceit Thanks for answering and no doubt I would have done the same thing like you! Wouldn‘t want to pay a ton of money for wrecking the F1 car🤣

[@juansarmiento3063]

i dont belive what it be a mechachrome original engine

[@dreamitraceit]

Buen día Juan, tienes razón. Se instaló un motor Ford V8 Cosworth. Puedes ver este motor en mi otro video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfNhoSalK19ntE

He's still faster than Latifi.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Gillounet, thank you for your response and for watching my video :-) I wish, you are right. But really; Latifi would outdrive me anytime...

[@maryseloyer]

Il manque 1 speed 🙄

[@dreamitraceit]

Bonjour Maryse Loyer, merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire et d'avoir regardé ma vidéo. Dans ma description de la vidéo, j'ai mentionné ceci: "les chiffres sur le volant ne correspondaient pas correctement au rapport sélectionné. Parfois, il montrait un engin de moins ou de plus que ce n'était en fait le cas. C'était assez déroutant pour moi."

[@saaber95]

With a Judd engine...not and F1 engine

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Saaber95, thank you for your response and for watching my video. Judd does have a F1 pedigree, just not matching the era of this particular B198. Quoting Wikipedia: In 1988, in conjunction with March Engineering, Judd made the move into the recently reintroduced normally aspirated variant of Formula One, which would completely replace turbocharged cars in 1989. By using the existing BV V8 as the starting point for their new F1 engine, Judd saved cost while at the same time producing a customer engine that could compete on track and in the marketplace with the Ford-Cosworth V8s that were standard equipment for the (mostly smaller) teams competing to the new rules.

4k for 4 laps

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi, thank you for watching! At this moment (Christmas offer lasting probably up to 3rd of January 2021) the price level of LRS Formula at their website is €2.375,- for 3 laps and as long as the offer lasts you get the 4th lap for free; so this means at the moment €2.375,- for 4 laps in this Benetton B198 powered by a Cosworth V8, and 2 sessions of approximately 15 minutes in a Formula Renault. Or did you mean video resolution of 4K? I filmed in 2.7K, which apparantly is not supported by KZbin, so the max you can view my video, is in 1440P.

Pour 1600€ c'est le circuit de Magny-Cours Club. Cette vidéo a été prise sur le circuit Magny-Cours Grand-Prix. La longueur et la disposition des deux circuits sont différentes.

[@RobbertsTravelGuides]

Defenately not the real engine i'd say what belongs in this benneton

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Nionity, thank you very much for watching my video and for your comment. You are right; this Benetton B198 wasn't equiped with its original engine. If it had been, I most probably could not have afford the ride ;-)

[@swavgav31]

It ain't an F1 car unless it has an F1 engine!!!!

[@dreamitraceit]

Thank you for your response and for watching my video. It's an F1 chassis with an F1 engine from another era. I cannot afford to drive it in original spec. Sorry for that.

[@Thecrown69....]

Ahahahaha bullshit car... Chassis maybe from F1 ... Engine is a V8 f3000 maybe zytek.... You pay for f1 experience .. You have f3000 experience

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi, you are absolutely right, that this Benetton B198 is not in full original spec. It is the F1 chassis, which LRS Formula founder Laurent Redon drove himself, when he was test driver for the Benetton F1 Team. Nowadays this Benetton is propelled by a Cosworth V8. I don't know the exact type, but I've made a video of the engine, so you can judge by yourself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfNhoSalK19ntE

[@dreamitraceit]

@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope the steering wheel of the Williams FW33 of LRS Formula pleases you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emW5loKhjKingLc

[@briancollins7191]

The original powertrain is too expensive to run and maintain plus is practically impossible for a novice to get their head around how to drive it in 3-4 laps. Along with the fact that the original engine is far too much power for the average human to manage.

[@dreamitraceit]

@@briancollins7191 thank you for watching and for your comment

[@lucabe3273]

@the Game, Review and Reallife Channel All the cars are powered by Cosworth HB V8 engines, i.e. original F1 engines from the early nineties in original chassis..
