June Sprints 2023 | Formula Atlantic Race 2 (Sunday) | SCCA Super Tour @ Road America | Full Race

Here is the full race from my perspective, driving car #88, a Stohr F1000 powered by a 4th gen Kawasaki ZX10R.

I notice that more folks are adding the corner net audio to their in-car: An excellent training tool for everyone.

[@user-gz3cc8vh7g]

Lots of familiar voices on this one

[@user-gz3cc8vh7g]

Great job actually. Excellent job of keeping the momentum up! Especially 8 to 12

[@fletcherwulffracing]

Very cool overlaying race control radio! Great video, subscribed!

[@temeritymotorsports1152]

Thanks!

@@temeritymotorsports1152 I thought RA corner net wasn't broadcast but hard wired, but its been several years since I raced there. Certainly you aren't getting that in your helmet but in the crew chiefs, ya?

[@temeritymotorsports1152]

@@kwasg3 We think it may be hardwired, but eventually it is broadcasted over radio. We do get it in our helmets, except in a few portions of the track where coverage from our repeater is poor.

[@MrPorsche85]

Great video, how did you finish in class? I might be dating myself, but I remember when the June Sprints were a really big deal, lots of spectators on thr hills

[@colemorganracing]

Great video! If you don't mind me asking, how are you able to record your radio chatter and the race control radios to put in the video?

[@NolanRempel]

Props for staying that right foot with that wreck in the kink. I can't count the number of times I've had people just go through a yellow flag and you can tell they weren't lifting in the slightest.

[@temeritymotorsports1152]

Yea, the P1/P2 race with the FE2 car had a major crash as I'm sure you are aware. The driver(s) involved didn't lift under a waving yellow at the kink and then plowed right into the FE2 center track. I'd like to think that I respect the kink.... it seems others don't as much.

[@NolanRempel]

Yeah I saw a clip of that yesterday, that was brutal. I’m a bit unfamiliar with Formula Atlantic, is the pace comparable with a Formula 4 or USF2000 car? Or is it sort of in no lane land?

[@temeritymotorsports1152]

@@NolanRempel It really depends on which FA we are talking about nowadays. The car I'm driving in this video was previous an FB car until it got merged with FA a few years ago due to low turnout. A 'true' FA would generally be a Swift 016, Swift 014, Ralt RT41. Pro Formula Mazdas also run in the class. To your point, in the simulator, we feel that the USF2000 is closest to the F1000 chassis. The F3 is probably closer to the Swifts and such (though heavier than them). I've never driven a Swift 014 or 016, so I can't speak from personal experience there.

[@NolanRempel]

Ah, fair enough!

[@user-gz3cc8vh7g]

Lifting in the kink can prove treacherous enough.

[@vir123456]

I expected much more speed on the front straight. Not a criticism, but I'm just surprised.

[@Michael-pi8ps]

100mph next to an active car recovery? Why is there no yellow flag or safety car?

[@temeritymotorsports1152]

There is a yellow entering the kink. 100mph in these cars is very controllable, as the typical race speed through that turn would be about 135mph. You can see I lift off the throttle for the duration of the incident. Slowing too much could also be a problem, since many other drivers that weekend weren't even bothering to lift at all (and even continued racing through multiple yellows), which actually lead to some serious incidents.

[@user-gz3cc8vh7g]

11 was waving and the drivers loobyed for more green flag laps about 5 years ago. Safety and the cars were well off line

[@d.k.1974]

this shocked me too. they definitely need to adapt the FIA rules of no heavy vehicles on track with cars

[@user-gz3cc8vh7g]

@d.k.1974 It was a request by the drivers a few years back for more green flag laps. There was a waving yellow at 11 all the drivers were informed on their radio and the recovery vehicles and car was well off line.If the situation had been at track out you would have seen a full course yellow. I've been a Marshall for 37 years and once worked for RA everything was under control

[@TheWestAspen]

Getting passed like standing still by true FA cars...This car should not be in FA, and I respect the heck out of Stohr.

[@dalev.186]

There should be FA2--F1000s, Pro Mazdas and F3s. Any of those cars could win.

[@TheWestAspen]

@@dalev.186 Concur, true FA's are in a class of their own.

[@ddavideo]

Maybe one click too much on the rear wing...hence, understeer + insufficient top speed. Just IMHO.

[@temeritymotorsports1152]

Well in this case, I was renting the car from a friend. The engine in the car was incredibly tired (ebay engine), and was completely filling two catch cans each session. The rings had seen better days to say the least. These cars also used to be classed in FB, but due to dwindling numbers, they got shoved into FA with Swift 014s, 016s, etc. They simply aren't competitive in FA.
