BMW M4 vs Formula 4 Racecar

[@easilytriggered3891]

Drove so slow it looked like a funeral convoy

[@OscarWithC]

good one!

[@crazymaf3665]

Easily Triggered right. only shmee would drive slow in a race car lol

[@UKDarkPredator]

delete.

[@jamie-nc3dz]

@A Google User what f1 race cars? 😂

[@ChristopherDonaldson]

You looked like a Sunday driver out there on the track....lol!!!

[@Shmee150]

Might look like that, did not feel like that ;)

[@ChristopherDonaldson]

I believe you for sure. Its a total different feeling behind the wheel..

[@kuglepen64]

Driving like a granny.

[@TuddecBMW]

I expected an actual race between an M4 and a Formula 4.

Tuddec that's what you call clickbait welcome to the internet(;

[@ArchieHamiltonRacing]

Awesome day mate! Lots of fun 👌🏻👌🏻

[@alexcritchley9714]

Archie Hamilton Racing Archie's vid was so much better

[@mowie71]

I did this experience earlier this year and absolutely loved it! The instructors were fantastic and really bought the Racing Driver out in me. Although expensive, I'd do it again and again

[@leefatusa6991]

Do they add a speed a limit on the F4 ? Or do they let you drive to the very edge

[@kahlaaja]

Omg I just cannot get how frequently you do all kinds of different cool car stuff - I´m getting a bit out breath by this pace, I guess.. Awesome job, Tim! You made my day yet again!

[@MTobin1000]

Tim, what a great experience to drive in a true race car. thanks for taking us along for the ride. Cheers!

[@NickRS1]

I can't stop watching your tongue when you speak

[@mikewinburn]

How awesome was this! Looks like you had another memorable experience. Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@mh9649]

It's easy without rain. #MaxVerstappen

[@ExtremeRunning1]

driving pretty slow compared to archie

[@Shmee150]

Two times Le Mans driver vs Amateur racing car driver... What did you expect? ;)

[@JS106]

Lol

[@marcSVJ]

Hendrik Oostenenk Archie was like flat flat flat !

[@puma490]

@@Shmee150you seem scared to push something that wants too be pushed m4s passing you lol. get on that mf they don’t care

[@pol1250]

This is unwatchable.....

[@supercarspotter4726]

awsome video as always! keep up the work shmee! :D

[@statesidesupercars]

Those Formula 4's seem pathetically slow in a straight line...

[@Spaffboy]

They are for general public driving experiences, so they are turned down a lot! RPM etc.

[@lukeburrows6341]

They're still pretty slow in race trim haha

[@sxemontague1]

Did this last month (F4 Master Experience). Did a 55.78. (Average speed ~ 78mph). So while they arnt crazy fast, theres nothing quite like driving a single seater. Especially if you have not done it before. If you have any questions about this experience ill do my best to answer.

[@CaptJofaz]

You're about 10 seconds off the pace lmao

[@sxemontague1]

@@CaptJofaz not in one of those? where can i find times of other people for that car? Its no where near as quick as a derestricted F4 car.

[@StephenButlerOne]

Use to say in the hotel there often when in my early 20s when I use to contract around greater London. Use to love finishing early and just sitting in the stands on open days etc. Always fun.

[@xBris]

0:14 So that's what a clear british sky looks. Always wondered. Quite grey, don't you think? ;)

[@diegoramdhani2799]

Really cool to see a racing driver perspective on Archie's and your (amateur racing) driver perspective here!

[@joshuathompson6720]

Didnt Archie Hamilton just do this and also make a video on it?

[@ThibauTM]

And a better one in my opinion. Didn't fall asleep during Archie's video

[@Shmee150]

Yup, Archie was also there :)

[@iaingales1591]

All the gear and no idea. How does this guy make a living talking about cars? I'm not even mad... I'm impressed!

[@Traumglanz]

The elevation changes in brands hatch seem to be crazy, that track scares me, it really does, especially the main course, but the smaller Indy lap that we see in this video has a lot of it too.

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Another great experience Shmee. I enjoyed it.

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

it just shows how a proper race car works,I mean 'only 180 odd bhp' in a road car on that track would be very normal and slow,however chuck it into a car designed to do one thing and bingo you get the feeling for just how low weight,aero and race suspension and race tires come together to be better than the sum of its parts.

[@MpowerRick]

Why aren't you buying a car like that F4 car? Its nice to have and probably you can store it at a track garage or something!

[@Ezio15352]

Love your videos Tim! Just an idea for you to hear out, have you thought of getting a camera/actioncam stabelizer? It truly helps when you are giving us a awesome shot of you driving! But all n all, great video! KEEP IT UP :D Cheers!

[@EdwardV20]

Maybe get a BAC Mono, or an Ariel Atom, that would be cool as a track weapon ;)

[@South4153]

Edward Van. so he can drive them at 17mph around the track?

[@Shmee150]

Nope at decent speed as I did last year... Tricky car that BAC ;)

[@CCGR-2024]

Tim, bet it was a fantastic experience , I wish I was young and healthy and could do stuff like this. Thanks for filming and sharing this, I envy you. That's not saying you don't deserve these experiences or anything like that. I'm saying I envy you but am very glad you film and share this stuff. Thank you.

[@beyondinsanitybr]

Hey Shmee, when are you coming to Brazil? I had a great time during the F1 race this weekend. You shoulda been here!

[@Shmee150]

Nothing planned at this moment

[@joaobodybuilder2863]

Heeeey Brasil is cool

[@beyondinsanitybr]

Okay! If you include Brazil in you plans let me know! I can give you a full on tour around here!

[@DTFilmProductions]

Those F4 cars redline was about 5k very low and I bet more like 150bhp. Looks restricted.

[@AutomotiveMike]

Though choices! Why not best of both worlds with a BAC Mono?

[@Shmee150]

Oh yes please, great little car

[@aloevera74]

Yes yes Tim... you do need to push it just a bit more..... perhaps 10 x more But thanks for sharing

[@joelthorogood1727]

Amazing video Tim love your work

[@owenphillips2099]

Looks cool Shmee, great video

[@d0718]

I went to do Lotus driving academy after seeing Tim do that and now I guess I have to do this

[@EA40]

Are those your standards for a clear sky? Lol poor British weather, but a very unique video. Loved it Tim!

[@jordanemaviwe609]

Shmee say he has fun driving slowly...really...wow!

[@jasonandrsen]

Some Say, When He Sleeps, He Revs His Vehicles, And That He Always Brings A Bag Full Of Grenades.. Just In Case A Prius Come By.. But All We Know Is... *HE'S THE SHMIG!!!!*

[@RetiOrchid58]

How does the straight line acceleration compare in actual figures? Looks fun indeed..I think all track drivers should consider taking cordyceps for their sharpest reaction and concentration..Stay safe and fast.

[@philbrett1578]

I definitely think you need some custom colour/graphics scheme on the helmet Tim, something to go with the custom race suit. I'm thinking some in... blue maybe! 😊

[@jumpjimmy]

Shmee 'shortshift' 150

[@chazzftw9313]

James Edwards I KNOW YEAH 🙄

[@philbrett1578]

You could hear the shortshift on every gear, but watching the shift lights it's obviously detuned that way for the experience.

[@yann9378]

nice vid Tim or shmee150

[@1dulchie113]

living it up chap,

[@ah78dod]

Its actually quite nice Also looks quite comfy!.

[@zakattack1120]

So when's the F1 drive happening?

[@Shmee150]

No idea, let's aim to do it next year :D

[@Sunny-jm7jw]

Its impossible to drive a F1 car slow, it will just stall. with Tim driving like a granny i don't think he will be driving a F1 car any time soon.

[@easilytriggered3891]

True I was just about to say that I remember Hamster stalling the F1 car multiple times and lets be honest Hamster is a way better driver than Shmee

[@Shmee150]

Never say never ;)

[@T0Mdisstroya]

It doesn't matter what driving skills you have, if you got enough money

[@bzhln6]

Awesome just awesome. Bucket list, check.

[@easilytriggered3891]

Shmee I really really hope the next video is about the HYPER GT

[@xtoxoxgachax3927]

I started watching this yesterday it’s 3:08 this bro has to speed up

[@ThemDotcomBoyz]

a go pro 5 would be good for the view, the camera makes it smoother but love this anyways 😁

[@ruonm]

FANTASTIC !

[@AnimilesYT]

wow. awesome. I know that racetrack. It is one of my least favourite track from Grid Autosport though.. But still awesome that you are able to drive there! :D

[@TheCarLovingSwede]

Have you bought a McLaren BP23? It´s going to increase in value a lot.

[@Michael-zx5ux]

You don't just "buy it", you get invited to buy it. I'm not sure if he could buy one even if he got invited because it'll be very expensive. The P14 is more interesting.

[@TheCarLovingSwede]

Maybe he´s got more money than we think ;) and he has had every modern McLaren except the P1 and 650s coupe, so maybe he got an offer to buy one.

[@jamespugh]

great experience for sure. love the f1 cars

[@jhuh95]

Shows how good Archie Hamilton drives. He was flatout in turn 1 and 4. :)

[@yardelli]

Wish F1 still raced at Brands.........................

[@JS106]

Tim, what is your dream car?

[@richardhurr31]

MM Animations I'll answer for him. McLaren P1 (probably) but a bit out of his price range.

[@laytonsri150]

Looked like fun :)

[@AnimilesYT]

That first corner has killed me so many times in Grid Autosport. But I noticed that there is a huge part of the track missing in real life. Or at least it looks like it.

[@CairnieR]

That is the Indy layout for Brands, the GP is the longer layout which is what you were driving in the game.

[@stephanstgr874]

at six-years at youtube, and right now the formel cars... so when is the time for... the superlicense???? 😱

[@nullusfactor]

So cool Shmee! Your videos entertain me so much. Wish I could do the same things as you do! Regards,

[@charliebesley1543]

These F4's aren't the same specification as the BRDC (British) F4's that raced a few years ago. Similar in every way, apart from these f4's have engine limiters and grooved tires on.

[@Shmee150]

Yup they do...

[@ibeunstoppable]

Awesome video! Love BMW! Definitely one of my favorite automakers.

[@netmatrix75]

Hey Tim. Have you ever reviewed a BAC Mono, Aerial Atom or Zenos before?

[@Shmee150]

Yes, only not the Atom

[@mwilliams3431]

Driving Miss Daisy would have been a better title

[@CorneliusSneedley]

I have to wonder, if Archie were driving, for example, how the lap times would compare between the two cars.

[@FrankDBoyce]

Has Shmee passed a car yet in any of his track videos? I mean push it a bit mate.

[@harryhenderson792]

Twin Turbskis on the M4 , but NO bald eagles

[@akhilhalgeri6304]

Do you have to pay for riding a formula 4 ?

[@troop73oo]

Well that video definitely did not live up to expectation..

[@EppingForest304]

Single seater looks more fun than saloon car

[@leegarrett5765]

Shame it’s not on the big track. Would be much better and on slicks.

A song someone made for me specifically. It has no name.

Make an affordable formula car for the road. $30-$40k range. Cmonnnnnn. Make something different. Formula Ford is $75,000

[@kitefn1]

Was u following a SAFTEY car ?

[@ianng4633]

You drove so slowly the tires were colder when they come back to the pit than when you left the pit.

[@StaticVideos]

Its like a GrownUp VIP GoKart

[@001mrjam]

Must be scary in that situation especially in those conditions.

[@joaobodybuilder2863]

Que vídeo bom !!! Muito bonita essas M4 com pintura de corrida

[@duartepires]

"the top speed is not necessarily quick in a straight line..." come on man, you were shifting too soon and it looks like not even full throttle...

It's crazy that these race cars use honda civic LX engines 😂

Ohhh man you was super slow,if Mr JWW was there,we will not take it that easy !

[@carsandchronos]

Sunny and clear?? You need a new lens filter

[@briayantheomnipotentone3047]

I would like to drive a F1 car because it's a race car anyone would like to have. there are actually 2 cars that are like F1 and a race car and road legal are the BAC Mono and the Aerial Atom. 2 cars I no anyone would like to have and they're like F1 cars but it something everyone could use and or have.

[@HarryTwatter]

Why do those f4 cars have road tires? I imagine slicks would improve it dramatically.

[@MrVoss94]

Wesley Green because these aren't true racing cars. These have been detuned massively to allow the public to try out and have a taste of driving a racing car. Most people going on experience days will not get anywhere near as much grip on racing tyres as they will not push hard enough to make them work, especially in winter. For the sake of the drivers and the driving school, road tyres are a far better idea as the cars aren't as hard to drive, aren't as likely to crash, and they don't need to change wheels and tyres anywhere near as often

[@HarryTwatter]

MrVoss94 thanks for the informative reply, makes sense

[@MrVoss94]

Wesley Green no problem. Actually after another look, they look like wets rather than road tyres but the same largely applies. They're probably quite a hard compound it they'd wear out in 3 laps

[@EdwardV20]

It won't make that big of a difference for someone who never drove a F4 car before. Those slicks are made to push the most out of the car and is only a big advantage if you know the car. The people who drive these on trackdays have very little experience and it was quite damp on the track. It makes more sense.

[@martin_in_the_alps]

well, not really. less grippy when cold, louder, harder to steer. Street tyres have a way bigger temperature window, that's why it makes sense to take them. As mentioned rain tyres would wear down in a couple of laps.

[@Fame-yk1cs]

Compared to Archie Hamilton's video this was slower

is there a glitch in the Matrix?!
