So if I can buy 20 of these I can start an another racing series😂

Ahhh, now I know how to spend the Squarespace money... 😅

For anyone curious, that's the Virgin Marussia MVR-02 they are building. The shiny scheme made me think it was an ex-Mclaren at first.

Hmmm....that begs the question what if The Grand Tour had a challenge where Clarkson, Hammond, and May had to buy these custom F1 cars and make their own F1 teams with them then going to 7 different FIA grade 1 circuits

Man this is quality content! Pretty much something that I would watch on TV as a documentary or something before or after MythBusters!!! Amazing!

I watched a Ferrari "Clientele" F1 day once and it was utterly, soul crushingly depressing. Ferrari Clientele is where super rich people can purchase ex Ferrari F1 cars, Ferrari holds them and organises numerous events at various racetracks across the world. Ferrari then send the cars over, have complete track setup with marshalls etc, even fans holding banners for the specific cars. And here comes the depressing part, the same teams of engineers and mechanics who once travelled the world with that car, who worked on it during each qualifying and race with some of the best drivers on earth are the ones there supporting each chassis. And they all look completely dead inside, watching a fat pink man in his 50s clamber into this finely engineered precision car that once held the attention of the world whilst being driven on the absolute limit of what it could do. Now they're there watching it do laps at probably 1/10th of what it's capable, lap after lap, tweaking things in between as the pink man wasn't happy with its balance. You could literally see the memories in their eyes.

Fantastic video Matt and very interesting with TDF1 if only I had a spare £1million bucks lol. It’s fantastic to see the level of dedication to keep old f1 cars going end the care and manufacturing side of tdf1 is commendable. Well done guys! As a fan of all old f1 cars to see the care that this team are doing to old saubers and marussia cars I can’t wait to see more from them with the BAR hondas and others. Keep up the great videos Matt

I can’t find TDF1’s social media or KZfaq. They need to promote this more. I would do anything just to be part of their team, I’d even be their janitor

Im still waiting for the video where you explain how you single handedly destroyed FE by leaving the sport

If TDF1 did hire days where you could hire the car for so many laps with the team telling you how to drive it over the radio. I think it would be very popular. Obviously it would still probably require a fair chunk of money to drive it. But put it within range of a normal person.

Awesome video. TDF1 is exactly what an F1 car buyer who wishes to drive their car for hours around a circuit needs. I think it’s brilliant.

Matt do you wanna go halves on it?

Can you imagine arriving to work or uni in a MP4/4?

I was at the auction of Hamilton’s car at Silverstone - genuinely one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen!

Option 3 is definitely a motor series in the making,

Thats soo cool. They made f1 into a retail service, love these sort of ideas.

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for this information :D Best regards from Finland! 🇫🇮

This was such a great video. I love the amount of detail you went into. Funny, the cars look more like the last series of F2 Dallara’s then F1. I would like you to do more videos on this subject matter. You could do ten more videos and not scratch the surface of these cars. Love, Love it. Ted

There's another option as well, Rodin Cars. They're a company in New Zealand that makes their own V8 Formula 1 styled car

Appreciate that you get to the info right away in this video. Love it!

If I could buy a TDF1 car I would ABSOLUTELY let you, Matt, take a spin at Silverstone 😅

Dope video Matt! I'm working on an experience design project on Formula E atm and this video helped !

Well I know what i'm doing once i become a millionaire

This was a great video mate. Thanks a lot.

Now that I know this exists I’d love to see a video comparing one to the real deal to see how close it is.

Plese continue with this content ! It's really great !

Loving the content, mate! Subscribed!

What a WELL out together video. Honestly thought I was watching a TV at first. Everything about it. Very informative yet to the point, no b.s filler to meet time constraints to still get KZfaq algorithm to get paid and how ever that's goes. Definitely will be lookin for future videos 😃😃I think this is the first video I didn't lose brain cells 🤣😁🤫🤫🤪🤪😉😉😉

I did not know that something like this existed, but its something I've always been interested in. Its awesome to see that somebody is doing this! What an awesome way to make a living!

Awesome video, thank you for sharing

Thanks for this information! I will definitely look into buying a couple of these for my wife, friend, and I. Cheers!

i never heared a person speak english with Lisp. I like ur voice, ur very understandable and u gave me motivation to speak more english to learn it. Thank you

7:21 thats the old Marrusia F1 car. Man those slow backmarkers on that days, HRT, Marrusia and Caterham/Lotus

Really enjoyed watching this 👍

😮🎉❤ wicked cool video. TDF1 has got the right idea. Race on guys💪🏻🏁👍🏽

A very interesting video thanks for answering the question of how do you go about buying one of these cars a question I’ve asked myself many times.

Wait, this video only has 10k views?? Such a professional production and very interesting stuff... you're set up for success!!

Great video, thanks!

Rodin Cars are also a great option. The options they have, the work that's gone in to redesigning what was the old Lotus is crazy.

This man has a amazing Job .. Love it.

I get why these cost upward of £850,000... but unless the buyer has the skill of an F1 driver, I have a difficult time imagining they wouldn't have just as much fun in a used Honda K20-powered Formula 3 car at a tenth of the price. Then again, I'm not in the financial demographic of the potential buyers and its their money. I'll take the F3 car someday. Great video!

Dang this is a fascinating f1 vid on a topic i never considered

I think I will stay with the RaceSimStudio mods for Assetto Corsa. Great channel! I really don't get why you have such a low subscriber count for the great and diverse content you've got!

This could be the start of an all-new Motorsport. If it does happen, Call it Formula Evo.

Seriously thinking about buying one. Thanks pal

How do you only have 43k subs? The quality of videos you make is like something you'd see on the tele, it's even better than a lot of youtubers with over 1 million subs! Keep on the good work and you'll eventually get there too mate!

SUCH a good video, man. Super informative, and very good production quality. Thank you very much for making this! Subbed.

Presumably you could eek out similar 'service intervals' from the heritage stuff by getting it slightly detuned or limited. I mean the average punter isn't gonna miss the extra between a 95% F1 car & 100%. But yeah the TDF cars are a great thing, if I ever am rich enough it's worth considering!

Spoiler Alert: Online.

My god the PASSION in this guy

If i buy i would definitely enter Boss gp with it

Honestly, i was expecting way more money when you consider the development costs of these cars

IMO for 850k that is really good value considering what you get. If i only had that kind of disposable money... Would get LMP instead, F1 is cool but LMP is cooler =P

Well, you need to rob a kidney bank for buying just it's steering and tyres 😅

superb video for F1 enthusiasts ..

Dayyum I'm early. Also what about that road legal lotus F1 car that was on top gear?

Interesting video, I'll have to get in touch with them because I buy ex F1 car parts. Body work, internals etc.

Great stuff. Someone should tell the F1 teams to replace their parts with whatever stuff he says this third option uses. Since it apparently provides same performance but "can last a hell of a lot longer"..

TDF-1 seems amazing for what you get the cost is still crazy, but it as close as you can get to driving an F1 car.

I think hardly anyone watching this is interested in buying a f1 (awesome video btw of course that’s not a problem) which has extreme running costs and difficult maintenance, but some would be interested in slower more reliable cars that are still way faster than any street car regardless of power or price. Depending on the budget you can go from $/£/€ 10k to 200k and over depending on technology or condition (of course new cars are about 3-4 times more expensive) from formula ford, funyo f4/f5, cheap prototypes, or formula 4, formula 2.0, then higher class formula 3, 250hp prototypes like norma m20f, gt4 class cars (slower but in the price range) then formula 2, or 3500 v8, prototypes like lpm3’s, radical sr8 and slower but same money gt3 cars.

I'd like to see one of the TDF-1 vs an authentic F1 car

I'm sure I wont be able to afford this ever in my life, but if I do, I definitely giving you a drive in it

I wasn’t thinking of getting one to take to the track. I got an hour drive to work. I’m banking on this shaving about a half hour off my drive time. I’ll just hire a pit crew and set a tent up at work.

v nice content, chanks!

My dream would be to see a duel between a TDF Mercs W11 (2020) vs the real Williams FW14B (1992) seen at the beginning of the video.

That’s dope I still dream to drive a open wheel F1 car

This is proper consumer advice

Okay... never realize that was possible. Now I don't know how I'm living without this

This video just makes me want to be successful so I can afford something like this 😂

Realistically, I'd just buy a show car, just to display in my house

Thanks, I’ll go ahead and buy one

Sheesh, those show cars are such an awesome trophy for us guys lol 3rd option is awesome too.

Thats a great idea!!

Ive had sierra cosworths and the 4 cylinder was awesome in that. Id want a 8 or or a 10 to listen to if I was in the market for one of these.

Congratulations from Argentina

This was actually really interesting

Love to see a budget F1 tournament

TDF is a good idea but I would like to say that the steering wheel can more modernize.

Great video .. I need one of those hahaha

My local auction house had a Marussia's chassis on show as they handled the break up of them, it was one of Jules' chassis so they could never seem to sell, guessing F1 teams don't want it as a test bed out of respect. They might still have it on show but I haven't been home in a while

Ill order one from him sometime soon and then if your down you can definitely give it a test drive

I own one of the left rear wheels from Bruno Senna’s F1 car. That’s quite enough for me 😃

Thanks Matt, off to my local toyota dealer now to buy an aygo

This guy is doing an Incredible Work...Mad Respect for him

great vid

SUBSCRIBED !

Excellent ! This is the sensible option for those who want an F1 car. And TD f1 cars are cheap too !! I suspect this company may well be able to make these cars faster than they were originally..............!!

calling 450 horsepower "the same sort of horsepower" is incredibly misleading tbh

I wonder if you can buy one of the “replica” cars that have no drive train and actually make it run, and put a reliable drivetrain in it? I know the amount of engineering would be astronomical and probably impossible but I think it would be interesting to dive into that just to see what it could entail.. I mean you could build a tube chassis with the motor and everything you wanted and build it around the body panels and just swap the panels onto the chassis? But that’s still a lot of time effort and moneu

Wow nice thanks for the insight,I would want to buy an F1 car with Michael Schumacher livery/Aarton Senna livery.

Err I just saw a 1998 Benetton at The Bend - a racetrack near Adelaide in South Australia... I wonder if they bought it? It was Fisichella’s one though, perhaps that was the other one, but it has the same tyres I think. Perhaps that's the one they bought!

2:32 He knows what we wants to hear, no unnecessary info stuff

Top notch stuff 👌☕

I always thought Ferrari could do the same thing with old models, fitting them with their own street car engines and gearboxes to rent out for people to have fun racing around (individually, of course) on tracks like Fiorano or Mugello. This way normal rich folks could have an experience close enough to driving a F1 car without the bestiality of a 800 HP engine. Ferrari not only could make money, since thpse tracks must have idle days, but, perhaps sell more of their cars in the process. Merchandise too...

I bought a couple F1 cars a few months ago when on sale at Legendary Motorsport... pretty good price

You could always nick one and hotwire it. Best joyriding car ever.

Starting it from the cockpit, grazy modding

Ahh now I know what I'll buy :) Just is there something with halos? curious

I did a track day in Pembrey, there was a guy blasting around in what I thought was a Marlboro sponsored McLaren, turns out it was an Indycar.

Man i would love the Fw15 prost version
