I LOVE the new iRacing Super Formula Lights...but it's CARNAGE!!! | Road America

It's time for Week 1 of Season 2 2024 on #iracing and we've hopped straight in to the new Super Formula Lights car for my first race of the week. It's a more modern, slightly quicker Formula 3 style car, and it's brilliant to drive! But what are the racing standards like?? Let's find out!

I just wanna thank you for making so good videos. Idk what it is but you have something extra that the other creators don’t have and I absolutely love it!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah Oscar that's so good of you to say - really appreciate it mate!

[@thargor6750]

Second this. Killing the commentary.

[@LorenWong626]

Amen! Keep up the great work, Ben!

[@VandelayyIndustries]

Best sim racing video I've seen, commentary, replay, very entertaining. Well done!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah thank you buddy - really appreciate that! Lots more on the channel and to come! 👍👍

[@alphaperez]

I did two fixed races at Road America - 1) was amazing, clean, while 2) was a disaster where p2 on the grid failed to start, wrecking most of the grid lol. The Super Formula Light is so much fun to drive.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

I really agree - very driveable car from the moment you start. I’d expect it to become very popular! Glad you got one great race in out of the two 😂

[@rchrdxmddl]

you're doing a great job making content. exiting .... and entertaining.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thank you mate - really appreciate it!

[@scoot_o7]

Love your video style. Nice race!

[@lagos4312]

Amazing video as always!

[@the_real_beaker_]

F4, F3, sf, and sf lites are chaos. I think anyone getting into open wheel should know, it’s chaos hahahaha

[@Ben_LaBroca]

😂😂 I think I need to do a ranking video sometime soon….with the proviso that they’re ALL chaos!

[@TheFrontyer]

Yeah just adds to the realism, its pretty much exactly how its in real life.

[@Marvin_040]

That was the reason for me to change from racing in F4 and F3 to switch to the 992 Porsche Cup Car. Its is so frustrating when almost every second race you get taken out in the first lap by some hero and the car is just so fragile thats most likely your race is over after one collision. That really frustrated me. But the Porsche is really a joy to drive and the racing is just cleaner and the whole field is also closer together.

[@the_real_beaker_]

@@Marvin_040 I love the P cup! By far favorite series. If you haven’t tried to sf lite, it is very durable compared to other open wheel. All week 13 I would get a 4x bump and no damage. More than one occasion too

[@RB-87]

Why are iRacing diluting open wheel so much with similar cars? All you need are F1, F2, F3, F4, Skippy, Vee and Indy.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Well the cynical answer is it’s all about the money! But I think there is also a case to be made for continuing to update the cars on offer. I do agree though that there’s too many options on the ranked servers - I expect the old F3 to be retired at some point.

[@dereklchung]

Love the commentary!!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Derek!

[@doug_vickers]

Nice racing Ben. It was nice to watch a dry race for a change! All I'm seeing this week is rain rain rain. 😂

[@Ben_LaBroca]

It never rains but it pours!! Thanks Doug - can definitely recommend giving this combo a go if you fancy some formula racing with the new licence!

[@Spotter-]

The new SFL is easily my favorite car to drive in sim racing right now, the car is just so compliant, strong front end out the box and great rotation.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

100% agree mate - it’s great fun and should be a very popular series!

[@davidontherailroad]

Really looking forward to trying this one out

[@Ben_LaBroca]

The car is superb David! Hope you enjoy!

[@Tarry182]

That was awesome!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks man!

[@kaïzunii]

i love your video continue like this

[@eXtricRacing]

Very entertaining race

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thanks Russell! You tried this car yet??

[@eXtricRacing]

@@Ben_LaBroca Not yet. Can't wait to give it a spin. Hopefully tonight.

[@KevinONeillPlus]

Haven’t done my first race yet, but this is the S2 2024 car for me.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

You’re going to love it Kev!

[@KevinONeillPlus]

@@Ben_LaBroca I think I’m going to get wreaked a lot as the gt86 tonight me that I really need to work on my avoidance skills.

[@MikeOnTrack]

I have the SF Light, but not Road America haha! Can't wait for the tracks I own to roll round. Between SFL and F4, this season is looking great for me!

[@MiserableRacer]

30 mins racing soon in upcoming patch. Cannot wait

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Oh nice! Look forward to that!

[@jacobritskes7821]

Great Video!!

[@keeef23]

Nice racing man 👌

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Cheers man!

[@thargor6750]

Ah i wanna buy this but only have 3 tracks in the season.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ah bummer - it might be worth getting anyway for those three tracks, especially as it’s rain enabled! 🌧️

[@DaTux91]

That was not good for my blood pressure, what a rollercoaster! A bit scrappy, as to be expected, but you kept calm and it paid dividends in the end with what indeed seemed at times a highly unlikely finishing position!

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Not good for my blood pressure either buddy! 🤣 Thanks for the ongoing support mate!

[@DaTux91]

@@Ben_LaBroca Easy to support this level of quality mate! 😁 Keep doing what you're doing!

[@olum9421]

I‘m new to iRacing, started a week ago. Love your Videos! What Overlay do you use for your races?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hey there buddy! Hope you’re having fun on iracing! My overlays are RaceLab Apps. There’s a free version and a paid for version with slightly more options. You could also try iOverlay which is completely free.

[@FEBear1]

do you ever livestream Ben? I enjoy watching your stuff

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hi mate - unfortunately not for a long time. It's on the list to explore resuming in 2024, but it's really the challenge of juggling work and family life. Video production gives me a bit more flexibility. Thank you for the support!

[@Tynehawk]

Good job Ben, God help these guys if the heavens open.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Haha I know right? Full throttle….to the barrier! 😂

[@rhysryan8391]

where are all of your overlays from?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Hi buddy - it’s RaceLab Apps. There’s a free version, but I use the paid for version which is a small monthly subscription.

[@rhysryan8391]

@@Ben_LaBroca thanks I'll check it out. Nice video shows how new content can be fun but also tricky whilst everyone figures it out

[@BW_87]

I wonder if all the nutters from F4 will move over? 🤔 This car looks great though, will pick it up I think

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Ha it could happen - I think alot more "new" formula drivers might appear too after the licence split!

[@Brennan.P]

Is the livery on trading paints yet?

[@Ben_LaBroca]

It is buddy! Search la broca and you’ll find it!

[@HostilityExpert]

Love these commentaries. Nice race and thanks for not being one of the assholes piling in.

[@Ben_LaBroca]

Thank you man - really pleased to hear you enjoy them!!

[@Andrewww5730]

Nic video! I just applied for your iRacing team will you plsss accept me?
