- Have you ever wondered how you could buy your own Formula 1 car? đïž
Today I meet with James Densley from TDF-1 who offer modern F1 cars for private ownership, without the problems of operating high performance racing cars!
All prices correct at the time of recording

So if I can buy 20 of these I can start an another racing seriesđ
You cheeky fuvking bastard Iâm in đ
Yo that's actually a very nice idea, same spec F1 race, it might produce very exciting race, just imagine George, Lando, Carlos, Charles etc. racing in this series, same car, but it is F1!
@@YOLOLMK So you mean F2 essentially?
@@YOLOLMK Yeah but ho pays the bill afterwards? :D
@@jerrykeranen813 We will accept paid drivers and sponsors starting today!
Ahhh, now I know how to spend the Squarespace money... đ
Spotted the josh man
Lmao, Squarespace literally sponsor's everyone on CZcams.đ
Oh, you're here
Raid Shadow Legends
DO IT!!!! Then let's see a video
Man this is quality content! Pretty much something that I would watch on TV as a documentary or something before or after MythBusters!!! Amazing!
Wow, thanks!
I was thinking exactly the same! If there would be a tv program just of racing, you would be the perfect person to make documentaries!
@@mattamys oh jv v ool
@@mattamys Hilarious to see people throw money at cars that are made to be driven by athletes/professional drivers at the very limit and then actually think that they could do just as well in their middle age years with a pot belly and no physical training whatsoever.
Its all just a super expensive wet dream.
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.
I love that livery on that marussia F1 car. They maybe slow but their livery is good.
@@supernsxgtracing9541 Slow for an f1 car.
Pant shitting fast for a normal driver
Yeap. I was thinkin' the same.
Dork... JK JK i also thought it was McLaren
@@supernsxgtracing9541 shame Bianchi isnât here to agree.
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
It could happen. Jeff Bezos has almost endless amount of money, so giving The Grand Tour a permission to buy 3 F1 cars probably wouldn't cost him that much.
1 word... Regulations
How hard can it be!!
@@ArindamKar Among the best quotes by that man

Fantastic video Matt and very interesting with TDF1 if only I had a spare ÂŁ1million bucks lol. Itâs 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 canât wait to see more from them with the BAR hondas and others. Keep up the great videos Matt
What is ÂŁ1million bucks? Its either pounds or the bucks. Can't be both mate
@@Verdeniza your right my fault! 1 million pounds

Donât need 1M E. Oconâs force India sold for 70,000 GBP
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.
Jesus Christ that's depressing
Mehhh they work under 1/10 of the pressure that they normally would in a real race and probably get paid the same if not more. Who cares? I do think it's kinda sad but not depressing. You're over exaggerating.
It's the ultimate irony of great things being expensive, is that usually the people drinking the $10,000 bottles of wine or driving the Bugatti, aren't really qualified to enjoy it at the level it was meant to be.
Become rich and buy one for yourself
@@Visakh_S_Nair Now THAT is the RIGHT attitude!! And exactly what I am doing as we speak!!
I canât find TDF1âs social media or CZcams. They need to promote this more. I would do anything just to be part of their team, Iâd even be their janitor
Their social handles are @powerbytdf :)
Same I would also want to join there team.
Im still waiting for the video where you explain how you single handedly destroyed FE by leaving the sport
How could he single handedly destroy it when he had left, therefore no hands were present during its destruction...
What?
What a stupid comment
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.
It would be thousands, if not tens of thousands for the day, but as a bucket list item somewhat doable.
@@uu9rj exactly like going for a ride in a jet fighter
There are places where you can drive a real F1 car for a few laps at least. It's not cheap though but within reach if you're able to save up for it. As an example you can drive a Williams FW29 in Anderstorp, Sweden. Something like âŹ2000 and upwards.
You can drive f1 car like cars fĂŒr 189ÂŁ
@@spiritationalrelaxing7747 Wo?
Awesome video. TDF1 is exactly what an F1 car buyer who wishes to drive their car for hours around a circuit needs. I think itâs brilliant.
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 Dallaraâs 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
Matt do you wanna go halves on it?
Hi
Can you imagine arriving to work or uni in a MP4/4?
Not street legal
@@wastefellow2569cool! Good to know!
Thereâs a bunch of uni kids with their shiny supercars and you just roll up and steal the show with an mp4/4
@@wastefellow2569 depending on where you live the law might allow it when modified
@@jme3752, I looked it up and F1 cars are not street legal and for many reasons
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for this information :D Best regards from Finland! đ«đź
Dope video Matt! I'm working on an experience design project on Formula E atm and this video helped !
I was at the auction of Hamiltonâs car at Silverstone - genuinely one of the most insane things Iâve ever seen!
Appreciate that you get to the info right away in this video. Love it!
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 CZcams algorithm to get paid and how ever that's goes.
Definitely will be lookin for future videos đđI think this is the first video I didn't lose brain cells đ€Łđđ€«đ€«đ€Șđ€Șđđđ
Thats soo cool. They made f1 into a retail service, love these sort of ideas.
Option 3 is definitely a motor series in the making,
Pretty sure it is already happening. There are gentlemen clubs in the UK that race actual F1 cars and some like these ones
Option 2 is not bad either. Buy the $65,000 shell. Put a Superbike engine in it. And costum suspension/ tires. Might come up to $160,000 total is done right...
This was a great video mate. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for this information! I will definitely look into buying a couple of these for my wife, friend, and I. Cheers!
Loving the content, mate! Subscribed!
Plese continue with this content ! It's really great !
Spoiler Alert: Online.
There's another option as well, Rodin Cars.
They're a company in New Zealand that makes their own V8 Formula 1 styled car
May I add, they bought the design from Lotus
@@jiun88 Yup they did, but the car is very different now though. If you buy one, you may even get one that I built a few parts for ;)
Now that I know this exists Iâd love to see a video comparing one to the real deal to see how close it is.
SUCH a good video, man. Super informative, and very good production quality.
Thank you very much for making this!
Subbed.
A very interesting video thanks for answering the question of how do you go about buying one of these cars a question Iâve asked myself many times.
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
If I could buy a TDF1 car I would ABSOLUTELY let you, Matt, take a spin at Silverstone đ
Yeah, you WOULD because you can't :D
If I spent nearly a million dollars on a F1 car. I probably wouldnât drive it my self let alone anyone else.
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!
Much appreciated!
Awesome video, thank you for sharing
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!
đźđ†wicked cool video. TDF1 has got the right idea. Race on guysđȘđ»đđđœ
Wait, this video only has 10k views?? Such a professional production and very interesting stuff... you're set up for success!!
Thisis amazing
Well I don't think so many people are looking to buy an F1 car... the video is basically an ad for a company that sells just that.
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!
It sure is better than morgz
Thanks Tom!
@@mattamys you will get there with the help of this exiting f1 season :)
@@mattamys Thank you for the videos! They're awesome! Is there a team behind the channel or is it just you?
Well I know what i'm doing once i become a millionaire
Cocaine and hookers ?
*billionaire
If you want to be a millionaire start as a billionaire and then go racing
Same here
Really enjoyed watching this đ
Dang this is a fascinating f1 vid on a topic i never considered
Sums up my channel perfectly đ glad you enjoyed it!
@@mattamys i really did!
This man has a amazing Job .. Love it.
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.
My god the PASSION in this guy
Seriously thinking about buying one. Thanks pal
7:21 thats the old Marrusia F1 car. Man those slow backmarkers on that days, HRT, Marrusia and Caterham/Lotus
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"..
superb video for F1 enthusiasts ..
I get why these cost upward of ÂŁ850,000... 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!
I'd like to see one of the TDF-1 vs an authentic F1 car
Dayyum I'm early. Also what about that road legal lotus F1 car that was on top gear?
That was the Lotus T125 which was on sale for ÂŁ650,000, only issue is no one brought any. Clarkson actually demonstrated all of it's flaws in the Top Gear segment which I'm guessing didn't help!
@@mattamys yeah it looked a nightmare to drive but of course if you had a Jean Alesi heâd be happy to help
@@mattamys Ah! Thanks for the info
This could be the start of an all-new Motorsport.
If it does happen, Call it Formula Evo.
there`s no evolution going on...
just downgrading.....
@@dirkrieger8783 It won't be Evo at the beginning, but over time (I'm talking 5 years, by then it would have been a full fledged Motorsport, then the "Evo" would really kick in.
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.
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!
I think there are more variables at play rather than 'Power vs. Reliability'.
@@devideomeneer well yes and no. I mean detune it a bit with the ecu, increase some tolerances of components if you could, reduce the redline, swap some of the most fragile components, alter the valve timing. I think basically reduce the performance and gain reliability and longevity
@@Tom_Hadler Yeah I'm sure these actual experienced F1 Engineers just didn't think of that. If only *they'd* been CZcams commenter!
Sheesh, those show cars are such an awesome trophy for us guys lol
3rd option is awesome too.
v nice content, chanks!
This guy is doing an Incredible Work...Mad Respect for him
Thatâs dope I still dream to drive a open wheel F1 car
Love to see a budget F1 tournament
Thanks, Iâll go ahead and buy one
I think hardly anyone watching this is interested in buying a f1 (awesome video btw of course thatâs 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 $/ÂŁ/⏠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 lpm3âs, radical sr8 and slower but same money gt3 cars.
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
Okay... never realize that was possible. Now I don't know how I'm living without this
Wow nice thanks for the insight,I would want to buy an F1 car with Michael Schumacher livery/Aarton Senna livery.
Ill order one from him sometime soon and then if your down you can definitely give it a test drive
This was actually really interesting
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.
Thanks Matt, off to my local toyota dealer now to buy an aygo
Congratulations from Argentina
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.
Ahh now I know what I'll buy :)
Just is there something with halos? curious
Great video .. I need one of those hahaha
I wasnât thinking of getting one to take to the track. I got an hour drive to work. Iâm banking on this shaving about a half hour off my drive time. Iâll just hire a pit crew and set a tent up at work.
If i buy i would definitely enter Boss gp with it
This is proper consumer advice
Thats a great idea!!
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 Fisichellaâs one though, perhaps that was the other one, but it has the same tyres I think. Perhaps that's the one they bought!
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
TDF is a good idea but I would like to say that the steering wheel can more modernize.
well yeah then pay a little more then im sure they will give you a more modern steering wheel(but as they said it is to simplify it for the normal person)
@@gruisman A 'normal' person doesn't spend 2 million dollars on an almost-F1 car lmao
I bought a couple F1 cars a few months ago when on sale at Legendary Motorsport... pretty good price
lol
the motor sport industry is pretty expensive as high can take or high u wanna take I'm just simply saying put ur cap where u can reach...blind a nice machine u still can hold a vibes in ur own class...like the idea still future ur thinking it's the way to go...
Top notch stuff đâ
Starting it from the cockpit, grazy modding
Well, you need to rob a kidney bank for buying just it's steering and tyres đ
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..............!!
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
Isnât it $2 million ?
I own one of the left rear wheels from Bruno Sennaâs F1 car. Thatâs quite enough for me đ
SUBSCRIBED !
2:32 He knows what we wants to hear, no unnecessary info stuff
Wow, I didn't know George Russell had a channel. Sub'd.
Realistically, I'd just buy a show car, just to display in my house
Honestly, i was expecting way more money when you consider the development costs of these cars
Usually those costs are already covered by sponsors and prize money
Isnât it $2 million dollars
TDF-1 should be the blueprint that modern F1 should follow tbh, if they want to make it road relevant make them follow bangernomics
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.
You could always nick one and hotwire it. Best joyriding car ever.
I wonder if you can buy one of the âreplicaâ 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 thatâs still a lot of time effort and moneu
Imagine buying a replica just for a gaming setup would be sick
Man i would love the Fw15 prost version
