What's The Cost and Route to F1000?

[@britfliptop]

Thanks for the info, I think i've caught the bug after a couple of track days at Paul Ricard then 6 series of netflix back to back. Your perfect for motorsport as you hardly blink. Subscribed.

[@ChapmansCorner]

What did you drive around PR? Haha tell me about it, I actively have to think about blinking but still can’t 😅 like you said, channeling my Max Verstappen

[@odee9007]

Thank you so much for posting this. Hoping to be in your position soon

[@ChapmansCorner]

If I can help, let me know

[@odee9007]

@@ChapmansCorner Thank you! Really appreciate that. May be PM’ing you sometime in the near future; at the moment, just focusing on building up my skills in karting.

[@stryker1992]

Thanks a lot for the all the details, i understand much more how it work. It's very pricey for me, but maybe someday after good savings... ^^ Last word : it's was not boring at all, for a first video you did very well and the timestamps are the cherry on the cake.

[@ChapmansCorner]

It is extremely expensive, and this is one of the the affordable options. I would recommend LoCost for you, fantastic racing, or Formula VEE. Appreciate that!

Thanks, very informative.

[@ChapmansCorner]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

Step 5: repeat 1-4

I have enjoyed your videos. It would have been handy to know that tyres are 1k a set, and apparently one needs a new set every weekend. Also it would have been useful information to know that Friday testing is not included in the weekend track fee. I've bought a car, so now it's time to save up for the season. Thanks for your videos, see you next year.

[@ChapmansCorner]

If you want to compete at the front, you need a new set every weekend. If you happy just getting comfortable in the car, I ran old tyres first few races. Thanks for the feedback Awesome man, see you next year

[@search4orlife]

Good to know, certainly not going to be competing at the front.

[@ChapmansCorner]

@@search4orlife we’ll be racing at the back, it’s great fun

[@search4orlife]

Are you planning to race all six weekends? Just wondering which tracks you have enjoyed the most? I'm thinking probably 3/4weekends first season plus a few test days.

[@ChapmansCorner]

@@search4orlifeI would love to race all 6 but might have to skip one or two. My favourite track is Oulton, you have to do that - it’s like being on a rollercoaster. Cadwell is even more insane according to my teammate, a must do but a tough track. Croft and Donnington are also incredible tracks, I’ve not raced at Don but have done 2 test days there. Brands Indy I’ve not raced but looks fun even if it’s simple. The Silverstone layouts are cool because it’s Silverstone. I may skip this round though and enter MonoPosto instead, as they run the full Silverstone GP layout which is much cooler than the 2 halves. Do you have a sim?

[@steveindorset]

I’m getting into F1K myself, so these vids are invaluable.😎 Where you get your HANS device from at that price? 😳👏🏻 I’ll be at the NEC show next Saturday, so hopefully see some nice “show deals”. 🙏😎👍🏻 Great vids keep em coming. Blessings.🙏😎👍🏻

[@sammoore3687]

I’ve recently been looking to get into racing, and this seems like my best option as I really want to drive open wheel series. Would you recommend trying to find arrive and drive packages to start off with as I have no mechanics knowledge to do my own repairs and setups? Or is that something you have to hire in this series after buying a race car for yourself? I also don’t own a trailer so I think cad transport may be a problem too?

[@ChapmansCorner]

Hi Sam. F1000 is the best value for money with open wheel racing, although it is expensive! I did an arrive and drive test, then 2 A&D races before then buying my car. That way the car is fully prepared for you and you can just worry about driving and learning that. Once you’ve done an A&D, I can connect you with my team who does all my transport, prep and trackside support Message me on insta if you want to discuss

[@oscaroliver5944]

Hey mate next year I'm thinking about getting a race car I have done a lot of go karting and have a racing sim. I'm thinking about going into one of the monoposto series. Do you know what you need to get in. And how does it work if I have my own car

[@ChapmansCorner]

Hi mate! Can message me on Insta so we can chat if you want. If you have your own car you’ll need a team to help with trackside support, transport abs storage if you don’t have that. MonoPosto looks good, I haven’t raced with them but plan to do the Silverstone GP with them next year

[@bertpretorius973]

What engines do they use. A motorcycle engine work beautifully no differential neede with standard sequential gearbox

[@ChapmansCorner]

Any pre-2006 production motorcycle engine, 90% of the grid use Suzuki GSX-R1000, the rest Yamaha R1

[@thomasedwards5892]

Any chance of a test in your car Bert😉 (bend it mend it rules apply!!).

[@ChapmansCorner]

Absolutely mate! If you let me win at Wilton Mill 😉

Isnt F1000 a invitation racing league? If it is how do You get a invitation?

[@ChapmansCorner]

@@andreilopitie3994 no all drivers are welcome! Contact me via Instagram and I can connect you with Fraser who runs it

[@user-up8pd6id9s]

How much was the f1000 car and what are the projected annual costs? Been finding it difficult to get ahold of any concrete numbers

[@ChapmansCorner]

My car = £20k (range £14-£30k) Tyres = £1k per set (need 1 a weekend to be competitive) Day rate for trackside support = £450 per day (race weekend is 1 optional test + 1 or 2 day racing) Car prep for a session = £200 Race weekend entry = £450 Test day entry = £390 Transport = £200 per race weekend Repairs and mechanical issues = no idea… example an engine is around £3k, £40 per hour labour. Can imagine there will be at least £5k repairs over the year, probably more. Follow on Insta and DM if you want more detail or to discuss

[@user-up8pd6id9s]

@@ChapmansCorner thanks Burt! Might very well be in contact in future, hoping to get my ARDS license by next year

[@djangojonesracing]

Great video, the hidden costs are the real costs of motorsport

[@ChapmansCorner]

Thanks! It all adds up

[@Kringlebeast]

How can the HANS cost £150 when the 30degree models for single seaters cost more than the standard 20's?

[@matthewlewis-zw3tf]

Daytona in UK. Lol 😆 🤣. Try the real Daytona.... I love your car and videos.❤🎉

[@ChapmansCorner]

Only just seen this! Haha yeah to be fair mate, it’s not competition which one I would rather race at. Appreciate the support, first race is in 3 weeks!
