Fastest 23:24 Ive ever watched.

hahahahaha good one. It ran like a champ. I was amazed.

@@djbis Are you the driver? This point is no shit. Take the car in and see what that crash did to the alignment and use those numbers!

@@steventrott8714 TBH I don't know what point you are trying to make. Look at the video. I am making my comments based on that. 😉

DJ BIS lost in translation! I was literally asking if he was the driver... no point being made. But yes, we need to measure the specs after the crash and reuse those for the next race. The car is dialed tf in!

Very minimal change to toe (not enough to affect handling), otherwise it was all cosmetic. The brunt of the impact was to the side pod and the nose. The scraping sound was an aluminum side strip ripped loose dragging on the ground when loaded up until I wore through it.

Why IS all that rubber there in the inside middle????

True, true, and also "What the hell is a racing line?"

Chicane? Never heard of him.

@@Andreas-cs6wg "Chicane?!" "Gesundheit!!"

@@Andreas-cs6wg Kind of a whishy washy fellow, this way and that sometimes, always holding things up...but he can be a lot of fun, too.

Ciaran Doyle nah rubberbanding AI wouldve kept it close

The race takes forever when you're leading ;-)

boring to watch

Might have been fun to watch him lap everyone.

i wonder if you'll respond to this. you have a funny comment, though

Jesus Christ bruh that crash took off his training weights

It's how Ford won against Ferrari, by fluke. USA! USA! USA!

@@omar_b_here a fluke... That's why it happened 3 years in a row. Then Ford decided Ferrari had enough of an ass kicking and decided not to go the 4th year because they proved their point

@@konnerkramer329 if you actually know the full story, you would know ford spent way more money than Ferrari just to beat them. Ford did it out of spite. And if you're getting your facts from the movie you're being misled. Listen to fast gas podcast for the true story on how Ford was actually the villain, not Ferrari.

@@omar_b_here no one was a "villain". Ford did it to prove a point that an American built car with an all American team could compete with Ferrari. After Ferrari used Ford and made them like fools while trying to sell their company for more money to Fiat. This plus Ferrari making fun of and basically talking shit on the Ford motor company as well as Henry Ford himself is what motivated Ford to prove that point. Yes they spent more money because they built the car from the ground up in less than 6 months. while Ferrari took years to build their car. Which shared parts and designs from previous models. You can't really bring up money when Ferrari literally manipulated ford trying to make Fiat pay more for their company because they were bankrupt.

Omar Barcenas well no shit they spent more money than Ferrari, ford had no race team and no history of race cars to build upon. Ferrari had a long history of racing to build upon so, of course they didn’t need to spend as much to develop their race cars. Ford had a huge gap to make up and that required money if they wanted to seriously compete.

Thought to myself, "I don't remember writing that post' then I realised , I didn't lol Notice I use the number 1 instead of the letter i

SRF is one of the cheapest forms of road racing too =\

@@casefc3s just get hired as a food delivery guy. you get paid to race around all day.

That's why they have all those sponsors painted to their cars. It helps them pay for their hobby.

I-racing would be an option, or cheaper play station.

If there is a 2025 lol

Julien Dude, same here! The first time I watched this vid I thought I would skip parts, but I ended up watching ever second. One thing I didn't do 5 years ago was leave a like. I think I'll do that now.

@Leo B. Stotch and how do you know? He never elaborated. Maybe you should make sense before going and trashing people on the internet. It's people like you make parents think the internet is equivalent to walking barefoot on spikes.

Then you should start uploading some SRF videos again with the love tap and see how folks on iRaceing take it

Funny to see you here, because I was thinking about you when I viewed this vids :D

Thanks, Empty!!!!

@Khristian check out www.specracer.com, lots of good people and info there. Thanks for posting!

In EU we have Peugeot Spider Cup looks like this but with a 1,6 Turbo and padelshift... It has a better sound than this (like a familycar) But good and fair racing at low cost

Underrated and HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't think he would've been as fast. I think he genuinely had anger put into the steering wheel and a shit ton of racecraft pouring into his pace and I don't make any sense. His driving was just chefs kiss.

Utter nonsense. Knowing "the line" means nothing if you can not go around a corner fast. The tactile seat of the pants and palm of the hands feel where the tires are an extension of your body is what matters. Knowing the racing line is comically simple for any competent driver. And there are lot of slow competent drivers. SCCA racing is not exactly deep talent pool.

There's something so magical about having a car in front of you even when you can't use its slipstream honestly

Yeah because when your determined. You body let’s go of that fear to brake just a little later and accelerate a little quicker out of corners.

Yeah! Who needs track knowledge, car knowledge, throttle control, steering control, weather experience, or decent braking when you can just be determined and confident! I think the funniest part is that the biggest reason the guy in the video even had a wreck was because they guy who cut across him raced with too much confidence and determination.

Indeed it was. Clearly a very skilled racer and the comic relief he used made the video that much better lololol

Agree 100%

Fancy seeing you here, scumbag!

yes very much soo

Lmao broughy1322 from gta

Nice 240sx on your pfp

oh that was really good one!

Looks to me like his car is just much faster than the rest. It's like a v6 racing a field of 4 cylinders.

@@soulcrusher0357 read the title they are spec cars

@@fulldisc8018 I dont care what the title says, his car is clearly faster.

@@soulcrusher0357 he could've been pushing harder and not being as fuel and tire conservative

@@fulldisc8018 Yeah that's what it is.

Good question! No they generally do not as bump drafting helps both parties go faster on the straights. It does, however, take a deep level of trust in the other driver not to do something stupid and cause an issue. Thanks for posting!

Yup. Done respectfully it benefits both parties. Often buddies hook up and do it more aggressively but a good degree of trust and understanding generally exists. When it goes wrong ive seen involved parties collaborate on repairs even, but this is at a regional level where most are there just for fun.

I'm more interested in how they feel about being punted off the end of the front straight (forcing them into a wider line.) Surprised to see the pass attempt on the outside of the leader after watching a few other cars just get pushed out of the way in the same spot

@@angusfreeman yeah contact under braking resulting in a loss of position is food for the stewards/marshals

@@Racer_X I don't think Ryan Newman appreciated the bump draft he got at the end of the daytona 500 this year.

Yeah. Same honestly. I just ran a race where I placed 3rd and ended up getting knocked back to 12th because of a Porsche that took the inside in a very dirty manner.

@Gabe Hernandez what?

@Gabe Hernandez sim style racimg is wayyy diff to gta

I took a break from GTSport to watch this lol. Good inspiration. Maybe I'll be in an FIA race.

Richard Parcells what a wonderful story... thank you! I’m honored to be in the company of John.

Hey Bryon, yep I used those bad boys (at least the rears) up by the end of that race. This track is notoriously tough on tires and once I was in chase mode I went into "might as well use 'em up!" mindset, and that I did. :) Thanks for watching and posting!

+Phantom9192 have any picture of the car after the race, i'm curios on what was dragging when you loaded up the right side of the car.

+Phantom9192 I wonder, was the front differential in order after that crash and race?

+webduelist Hey web, I don't have any pictures but the dragging sound was an aluminum 'rub rail' that runs along the bottom of the sides of the car. It was mangled and hanging down. It dragged until I rubbed completely through it which was pretty quick. :) Thanks for watching and posting!

+brakgeluid Hey Brake, if I'm understanding the question, it's a RWD car so no damage to diff or tranny. We do run a package out of a FWD street car but we run it in the rear of the chassis (just everything reversed). Thanks for watching and posting!

Phantom9192 Must be racing against a bunch of noobs because that was just terrible. I also race spec cars and sometimes the guys that show up are very novice where my lead has stretched out 20+ seconds.

Phantom9192 Secondly they're tips in gaining a few mph on spec'd cars with sealed engines. Trust me I know first hand. Not saying you did but it happens quite often. Some legal some not all depends on the class rules. Noobs never know about this only seasoned drives know how to stretch these babies out.

SonzillaGTR Hey Sonzilla, good points, all. In this field of 33 cars, there were certainly a fair number of drivers that rarely if ever compete for a win in a competitive class. That being said, the top 10 was solid national level race winners with the top 3 being comprised of professional race winners, national level karting winners, and a multi-time national formula car champion. It wasn't the first 15 cars that were the big challenge. :) Regarding the spec nature, we have serious tech supported by draconian penalties (banned from class quickly). People have indeed been caught in the past, but it's rare and at the front of our field if someone is cheating you can tell. If so, you protest them and they get caught. The biggest differential for these low compression 4-bangers is fuel and while we have rules, it's not tested at every event. I've been told that you can see up to a 3-4% increase in power with improved responsiveness with the right customized (and dangerous) fuel. As such, at the bigger races, fuel is checked consistently and often a dedicated track-only available fuel is required. As spec and compliance goes, you truly won't find a more tightly controlled class in all of motor racing in my opinion. The only real HP to be gained legally is via dyno time with oils and sensors (different resistances affect the map) and work on rolling resistance. A very well-prepped car can find some gains there. Mine is not one of those. :) Thanks for posting!

That was one of the design criteria when Sports Renault was created =)

I thought so too

In my many years I seen racing from 1/2 mile dirt stock cars to F1 around the globe but CanAm racing still my fav. I agree 100% with you!
