Prost F1 V10 @ Circuit Dijon-Prenois 21-07-2020 with LRS Formula Driving Experience

/ @dreamitraceit
It was a bit confusing experience for me. Before this Prost F1 V10 I drove 2 laps in a Benetton B198 F1, which unfortunately suffered from a mechanical failure and therefore quit on me on the end of the second lap. At the retry for the remaining 2 laps the same mechanical failure appeared due to a faulty sensor. The sensor couldn't be replaced in an instant, so LRS Formula decided to let me drive in the Prost V10 for the remaining 2 laps as there wasn't another F1 V8 available (only 1 was brought to Dijon-Prenois). In the first 2 laps in the Benetton I wasn't succesful in bringing the brake-temperature of the carbon brake discs up to a proper working level. That wasn't very confidence building, as wasn't the car failing on me. When I changed to the Prost V10 I couldn't even succeed in getting the engine started by giving the correct pulsating throttle input and I needed to be helped by the mechanics getting the engine started. Then the shift lever didn't respond on me to put into gear. And that all happened prior to even driving away. So all my fantasy, hope and dreams of having a slightest bit of talent to do a proper effort were gone by now. The instructors pointed to me the marbels, that were adhered to the stone cold slick tires (the Prost F1 V10 had been parked all day), so I didn't expect much grip from them immediately. Therefore I started this experience with a disturbed concentration and a not so very promising mindset and got that result as well. I have to say the brakes on the Prost felt more confident. But the engine didn't run smoothly to higher revs. So all in all it was nice to have driven the V10 once, because the price tag of that experience is out of my league. But this drive was a cowardly effort on my side and I didn't really get out of it, what I would have wished, because I was a bit overwhelmed by everything that happened before. I was braught back to the pits 2 times with a minivan instead of returning in the Benetton F1 and I sure wasn't being braught back a 3rd time in that way, especially not as a result of spinning the Prost V10.

I’d never thought I’d see the day where an f1 car was driven by a Cyberman

[@dreamitraceit]

:-) Thank you for your comment :-)

[@davidtong1841]

Stupid comments under these Videos... I've been to magny cours two days ago and drove the benetton F1 for the first time. I can tell you already sitting in the car is absolutely overwhelming. Driving the car ist beyond imagination. The sheer power of 650 horsepower at a weight of around 500 kilos it is impossible for a normal person without a lot of hours in an F1 car to touch even 40% of what the car is capable of. It's not about setting the best times around the track. It's about fulfilling your dream and suck up the atmosphere in this incredible machines. Joost is doing a fantastic job and i can tell you absolutely get addicted to it! I'll definitely do it again this or next year.

[@shannonm9291]

I've never driven anything close to an F1, definitely something I'd love to experience! It does seem like the cars are maintained in a manner that's similar to public go-karts - they work, but it's like the machine don't get the love they need haha. Don't be too hard on yaself though, if you were able to be on the track testing for a whole day you'd be flying, but can't expect yourself to be confident and smashing lap times when you've only ran a couple laps! Anyway :P, glad I found your videos @ 2am in aus, I'm really enjoying them haha 👍

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Spazmo, thank you for your compliments and for watching my videos :-) I'm convinced the race cars of LRS Formula get a lot of love. Nevertheless it has to be economic and be affordable by normal working mortals like myself. For wealthy people alternatives are Winfield Racing School, Ascari Race Resort and Ferrari Clienti, but those are all not within my budget. I don't mourn however, because I'm very satisfied with the opportunities I got already. I hope, you will get yours as well, but it's a long way from Australia to France. Especially in this COVID-19 era travelling is quite limited. Or did you mean Austria? Then it might be do-able. I hope to see a video of you hitting the track some day.

[@henrycassidy1588]

Amazing,thank you for sharing.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Marek, thank you for your comment and for watching my video. Your video of driving the Bugatti Chiron at Paul Ricard is great; a beautiful brutal and grunting engine noise and I hear the tires squeaching in many of the corners :-) Thumbs up!

[@henrycassidy1588]

@@dreamitraceit thank you!

[@nordimejia5790]

That doesn't sound like the actual F1 engine, but it still sounds nice.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Nordi, thank you for watching and for your comment. I cannot tell, because in this car a V10 engine was mounted, but I don't know which one.

[@ernesto_longhi]

Sounds 20x better, V10 engine is fantastic!

[@dreamitraceit]

Thank you, Ernesto, for watching my video and for your comment :-)

[@forsakenoutcast]

Lol, what does it actually sound like?.

[@ArthurNunes29]

I believe it actually has a Judd generic 3.0 V10. I remember seeing an ad for this.

[@RickvB_]

Hoe waren de Prost en Bennetons te rijden tov de Formule Renault 2.0? Ik heb zo'n zelfde experience gedaan met de Williams uit 2007 en die was een stuk comfortabeler dan de Formule Renault 2.0. waarschijnlijk ook omdat ik lang niet aan de limiet zat, als je de beelden terugkijkt was het gevoel toch sneller... 😅. Het remmen was wel indrukwekkend. Het lijkt ook dat deze Prost niet zo lekker loopt, of ligt dat aan mij?

[@dreamitraceit]

Hallo Rick, dank je voor het kijken van m'n video :-) Super gaaf filmpje van jouw ervaring in de 2007 Williams. Ik vond de Formule Renault véél makkelijker te rijden dan zowel de Prost als de Benetton. De Prost V10 liep deze dag inderdaad niet zo lekker.

[@rkk05]

Nice to meet you. I am a viewer from Japan. I arrived here while researching the LRS Formula. I am really interested in all the very attractive programs. However, I am having a hard time accessing them from Japan because they are really far away. Was it inconvenient to rent a car or train transportation? I also want to hear the sound of this V10 as soon as possible.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi, thank you so much for watching my video and for your questions. I travelled to the track in my own road car, so unfortunately I cannot inform you about train or car transportation.

[@jorgemelara9526]

Great video. May I ask wich model of camera did you used for the tip air intake?

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Jorge, thank you for watching my video and for your question. The camera at the tip air intake was not mine. If I remember and have seen it correctly, I guess, it was a GoPro Hero 5 Black. This year LRS Formula seemed to have quit recording videos, so be sure to take your own camera with you to get some footage of your experience.

[@JNST2023]

Hello, do you have to bring your own gear (suit, helmet, gloves, etc...) or are they lended to you when for the Driving Experience ?

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Julien, thank you for watching my video! LRS Formula will lend you all the gear you need, when doing one of their experiences. I tend to use my own gear for comfort.

[@Dartvarle1]

Nice video mate, i hope you enjoyed it🫡. It's my big dream to drive F1 ❤️.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi, driving F1 was my boyhood dream come true. I hope, you can realise yours as well some day. Please post footage of it then. Thank you for watching mine :-)

[@ajaykaushik2272]

Why are there so many cones lying on the racetrack? Isnt that a serious hazard?

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Ajay, thank you for watching my video :-) The cones on the track help to guide inexperienced drivers (like myself) driving the ideal line, while giving reference on braking point (double cone at the side of the track), corner entry point (which is the next cone at the side of the track), corner apex (mid corner) and corner exit point. I haven't experienced the cones as hazardous, but I would have preferred to have only the cones at the side of the track. I personally don't like the cones lying on the racetrack, which guide the ideal raceline.

[@ajaykaushik2272]

@@dreamitraceit Exactly my thoughts. A novice can steer into the cones due to lack of skill. An experienced one does not need cones on the middle of the racetrack to guide them. 😃

[@markevans1127]

Oh this looks professional I don’t think i would want to drive that

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Mark, driving a Formula Renault is more accessible: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Ctc4OIibmSa7M Thank you for watching my video and for your comment.

[@robinmat5704]

Hello, what is the cost of the session ?

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Robin, thank you for watching my video :-) Unfortunately I cannot tell you the exact price for driving this specific Prost V10 as my purchase was to drive the 'cheaper' Benetton B198. As a result of the Benetton getting a technical failure I was offered to drive this Prost V10 instead (and with closed purse). For an estimate of prices to drive the Prost V10 you can watch here: www.lrs-formula.com/en/f1-driving-silver

Very good track to Dijon I like it so much

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Proutin01, me too! I especially like the flow and height differences; very challenging. Thank you for watching my video. :-)

Hi mate. What prost was it

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Cisco, thank you for watching! As far as I know, it was the Prost AP04.

¿Cuánto cuesta conducir un Fórmula 1?

[@dreamitraceit]

Buen día Markitus, muchas gracias por ver mi video y por tu comentario. Para conocer los precios actuales, lo mejor es consultar el sitio web de LRS Formula.

[@luismelo7870]

OMG the Guy can’t press the pedal

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Luis, thank you for watching my video and for your honest comment ;-) It's less worse in my other video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnWaeHl5p7Cmgsk

[@pimpsahan55]

Hey how much was it?

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Sahan, thank you for watching my video and for your question. I did not pay for driving this actual car but for a less expensive F1 Bronze Experience, which failed however during my experience. LRS Formula upgraded my experience to this Prost V10, which belonged to the more expensive F1 Silver Experience, which you cannot book at LRS Formula at this moment. As a consequence I cannot actually answer your question, as there are no current prices available as well. You can book the F1 Bronze Experience however, which functions very well again, as I have seen with my own eyes less than a month ago, when I was driving the Ligier LMP3 again, but this time at the race track of Magny-Cours Grand Prix.

[@mikema1976]

its so sad they have knocked down the revs on this beautiful engine. let the people scream the car. this doesnt even drive more kph than whatever. Absolutely hidious And this driver cant even press the pedals also unbearable to watch

[@nextgenpsychos1016]

CUZ THE REPAIR BILL ON A OVER REVVED ENGINE IS ALOT!!!! they dont just have all the parts laying around or can just get a new engine sent to them these are people doing this for a passion not a race outfit

Hi Nionity, thank you once more for watching my videos. My apoligies for my lack of talent and bravity. I would love to drive quicker, but I guess I need more courage and practice...

I just drive faster to get some fucking milk

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi focus88, thank you for watching and for your honest comments. Nor do I think this ride was a great success of mine. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the experience. I'll be happy to see the fast milky way, you claim to be able to; so if you can upload a video of that to your KZbin channel, I'll watch it with pleasure. 😉

[@nathanweinfurtner5203]

What's with the cones all over the place? That's bullshit so you can't try a fast lap.

[@dreamitraceit]

Hi Nathan, thank you for watching my video and for your comment. The cones for indicating braking point, steering entry, apex and exit are helpful. But the cones in the middle of the track are not beneficial (to me).
