Nice job bro! you are better than mazepin lol

[@nicoflais8498]

MUCH MUCH BETTER HAHAH

[@riverdelta7052]

Nah a mediocre F1 driver is still much better than the majority of other pro drivers.

[@luisbalderrama8145]

Underrated Comment.

[@riverdelta7052]

​@@ThePurpleGoose023 Not really? Out of all the thousands of pro drivers in different series, the current F1 grid will always be among the best of them.

[@riverdelta7052]

@@ThePurpleGoose023 That's why I said among the best. I was referring to the lower categories of racing when I said majority, not WRC, MotoGP, Indy, etc, which are imo around the same level as F1. But it just happens to be that F1 tends to acquire the most promising drivers from feeder series (at least in Europe), but obviously not all talented drivers end up there.

3.5 second gap is monstrous!

[@bentley8787]

Imagine how fast you could go if you could get the tires hot

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

Yes, haha! The famous Michigan weather made us running our wets cause there was no way getting enough temperature into the (hard compound R25B) slicks. In FSAE no tire warmers are allowed so we always struggle with getting temperature into the tires for the Autocross runs.

[@bentley8787]

@@MaddiMcAwesome Very impressive lap with less than ideal conditions!! 👍👍👍

[@icygt]

That car has so much grip and you so much speed

[@hkfs9764]

So is that a secret coffee break in Gan turismo?

[@Yappit]

Was this at Michigan Speedway? Looks like the backstretch, great drive as well.

[@a.k_yousuf]

this is really amazing

[@connorbingel7134]

Why do the FSAE cars never have much camber? I’m curious on the setups because I feel like that’s how a whole bunch of time could be made.

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

This depends on tires and track conditions. In this case for example you don't need much.

[@samoslicks]

This guy can drive

Im so pumped to go for 2025

[@Matthew314]

Hi! Amazing driving and video quality. I often skim through FSAE videos and I ended up watching yours many many times. Since I'm starting a series of videos where I follow the development of my teams' car, I wanted to ask you if I could use a few seconds of this clip in my first video, while I make a brief introduction to explain what Formula SAE is. Since we're at our second year and we only raced in static events (which were remote only, due to the pandemic), we have no actual footage taken at a proper Formula Student venue. Of course I will put "courtesy of" at the bottom of the screen while your video is playing and thank you and all the other creators that gave theri permission. I'll also link the videos in the description and put a pinned comment where I tell people to go check out the videos. Thank you in advance, whichever will be your choice!

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

Of course! You're welcome to use my footage for anything FSAE related.

[@Matthew314]

@@MaddiMcAwesome Thank you very very much! I'll drop by here and give you the link when it's ready :) Have a nice day!

[@Matthew314]

​@@MaddiMcAwesome The video is out!!! I'll try to put the link here, hoping that KZbin won't delete it. In case, it's on my channel. Thanks a lot again! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnjKqYeYd72Hmc0

[@chiefbentilhutton_QMFS]

that was sick, do u have any tips for someone thinking of getting into Formula student as a driver?

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

It definitely helps to have a karting background. Preferably you have already competed in autocross events, with the kart or the car. The most important thing is that you need to know where the braking point will be on an unfamiliar track, the correct racing line and how your car will react. I think the best way to train this is with a kart and self-built tracks.

[@chiefbentilhutton_QMFS]

@@MaddiMcAwesome my family doesn’t have a background in racing at all tbh but I go karting when I can and have competed in a championship

[@chiefbentilhutton_QMFS]

@@MaddiMcAwesome I’ve never done autocross before though, if you can could you explain what it is?

[@bentley8787]

@@chiefbentilhutton_QMFS look it up. It’s similar to this type of racing.

what's the qr code on the wheel?

[@haidemsuk]

Cannot imagine the headache after drive

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

As with any sport, it all comes down to preparation. You get used to the g-froces and bumps. The needed focus to memorize the track is an add on to that.

[@ermmwhattheglorp]

what are thses things?

[@aryangupta4252]

Hey, what kind of dash pannel you are using

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

Hi, it's actually a simple display with an Arduiono or Raspberry PI, I can't remember exactly.

[@DrDank.2006]

I live about 30 miles out from this track

Looks like you will soon be chosen by the algorithm... So a tip for you to keep the camera straighter the next time...Cheers!!!

John 3:16 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son (Jesus), that whosoever believeth in Him shall not die, but have eternal life' Repent of your sins and come to Jesus now.

[@Andrei-cp5jr]

This track is so easy compared to Germany

[@MaddiMcAwesome]

Not so easy to say IMO. It's probably easier to flip a cone in germany, yes. But that's just half the trick, as you might now: FSG track is getting tighter and slower year by year. No need for long hard braking or even trail braking. No need for drivability+downforce balance at high speeds. Cause there's no high speed cornering in FSG. Michigan is also demanding for the driver cause you have to choose the raceline yourself, due to the open track design.

Camera not very good, constructive critique only. Nice driving!
