We need to see more sims add these types of cars (low weight, low power) because they can produce some fantastic racing!
Formula Vee is on RF2 (Reiza Pack DLC), AMS 2 (base game) and AC of course. AC really has some fantastic racing if you're up to manually downloading the mods and entering league events (srs, sim racing gp, sim grid, etc).
@@jdss13 I've never enjoyed the driving in AC. Even in VR I've always felt disconnected from the experience/never felt a true sense of speed so always misjudge things in AC compared to other sims.
@@TomoHawKzZ weird, I go back and forth between Sims with no problem. Maybe you should give it another try :D
I agree. AC has never done it for me.
Automobilista1
It’s all about energy management, lose momentum and it takes a while to get back to pace. So far lots of fun, it gives you time to think, plan, set up passes, find and use every bit of the track. For me some of the other classes are just too fast to be fun.
A family member raced formula VW in the 70’s and 80’s so I had the chance to drive quite a lot at Laguna, Willow springs, and the old Riverside raceway in California. IRacing has the powerband of this car spot on! It always had this feeling of not having the right gear selected. They were on skinner tires back then so the slid around a bit. And they felt faster than they are.
Hi Dave, I just recently got into sim racing, I finally dropped a little cash on equipment, nothing near as fancy as yours but the G920 with a GT Lite racing seat, and a 55 inch display is a pretty good start for my pay grade. In the 45 hours I have now spent practicing I have improved most by learning to be patient, learning the tracks. Just turning lap after lap. I just happened to come across one of your videos, and have now spent hours and hours watching you race. After each video I have gotten a little faster, not so much anything you say, but just watching how you handle traffic, watching how you ease in and out of the throttle, and brake, even the POV video you did gained me a second or so. So this is just really to say thanks man. I have no expectations of ever being super human fast, but as long as I can race clean, and continue to learn and have fun, that's all I am really looking for. Keep up the great videos, and thanks again.
Thank you for the great comment, really appreciate it 😁
Brilliant race between you and Tim, that was great wheel-to-wheel racing!
I raced these myself today and had a load of fun! Next to the advanced mazda i will surely race these little fun cars. Great video again Dave. Thanx
This is now my favorite car! Got my first clean sweep (Pole, led every lap) with this car tonight. So fun!
One of my new favorite cars (and it's free), having had a drive in the real thing years ago, this feels VERY close to the real thing if you get used to the 3-4 gear shift point. It's not too hard to get a consistent mid 1:11.x time, but it's sooo much fun to throw around.
I love the HUD you've got, so clean
Loved this vid Dave. Brought back great memories. In 1974 I bought a 1969 Viper FV complete with trailer for $1200 CDN. Good luck getting one for that now. The original wheels and tire size were stock VW Beetle and tall and skinny. It was very easy to spin. The class evolved with safety in mind and eventually went to wheels and tires that were used in Formula Ford. Many of racing's great drivers got their start in a Formula Vee. Amazing that the class is still strong after more than 50 years. Thanks!
I'm definitely racing this tonight. I gave them a try for about 10 minutes last night and the back end just loves to swing out. This thing is fun.
Hey Dave Great Video as always love the Pedal cam on bothom
Keep up the Good work
Brilliant!
"Dodge everybody else" pretty much sums up my experience and strategy as well. It's amazing how many places you can gain just by... not crashing into anyone. xD
As a veteran SCCA corner worker who has seen many FV races, this is pretty cool.
Racing them at summit point! These are a blast and pretty easy to drive! A nice introduction to formula 🏎
Have to agree, Formula Vee feels great. Had a couple races last night, won the first went literally from 20th to 2nd in the first lap! Hilarious!
Really enjoyed the last two days on these - think there'll be a massive take up of these next week. There's enough in the handling to keep you interested.
Superb Dave, loving the Vee
That was a great race Dave! Edge of the seat
Davey Boy
I had 6 races there last night and got taken out in 4 of them on the first lap !
What a great little buzz box 👍🏻
Been on holiday for a week, so looking forward to getting behind the wheel of these 😁
This car is an absolute blast to race but my god everybody is crazy in it! I don't know if its just because people aren't quite used to how to drive it or if its because it's week 13 but hopefully it gets better soon. Right now the only goal in a race is to stay out of carnage and it'll guarantee you a good finish
I'm brand new to iRacing, and sim racing. I don't think anyone counts GT and Forza MS real sims lol. But what's the deal with "that's week 13 for ya"... why does week 13 make people crazy?! lol
I see it in the comments and Dave says it in the video lol
@@Bakeman3000 in week 13 most race series dont influence your irating or safety rating.. thats why people drive very risky
edit: week 13 is the last week of the season aswell
@@luiswayne ohhh okay cool thanks man
They look old-school without wings, really cool looking for sure Dave
That has to be the most sarcastic "great start" I've ever heard, considering the timing of that crash.
These seem fun as heck. Might be a good feeder series into the Skippy.
Loved the race Dave!
I could watch these all day long!
just looks like bananas to me, especially the one with the yellow livery.
Foot cams back 👍
Remember seeing these race in 80s , think they never had inboard shoxs though
I noticed this too, and have been reading up. Certain FV race series (eg, UK, Australia, S. Africa) allow those inboard front [edit: and rear] shocks. Some also run liquid-cooled Golf engines, not Beetle flat-fours!
@@raffriff42 it was the rear I saw when Dav was following, they used to have coilovers on rear not push rods like what I saw
Nice race Dave, so funny! Might have to "go check out the V" ;)
race was pretty nice, but laughts was AMAZIN lol, love it!
Great race Dave, I dont iRace, but love playing Formula V on Automobilista , my kinda racing like the Skippys and MX5s etc in AC 👍🏻
Great content Dave. I really enjoy watching it and listening to your voice. Nice one! U ever race fr 3.5?
Im amazed 3 point what K ??? Blimey ! Thank you Dave :)
Great racing, good job!
Lol so many wrecks you had to dodge well done I enjoy the ferrari GTE series favorite track is SPA
one thing i found funny is how they modeled it with r888r's very cool touch. oh and you need to work on those shifts Dave 😂
Nice driving Dave.
formula pond skater, awesome stuff DC
Just tried them for about 10 laps, funny to drive. Optically they somehow remind me of little grasshoppers, from the chaseview.
Lol! What a mess. Looked like an episode of the Young Ones at times.
Great racing up front though, love the Formula Vee's.
I remember these things going around at Zandvoort. Good fun.
Great racing.
Well done
I saw Formula Vee (amongst many other cool things) at Spa Classic some years ago :)
I’m racing this tonight!!!
I belly laughed at the guy just missing the pits. Amazing.
I was going to reinvest my time back into iracing again. Your video is the first Ive seen for a longtime for iracing and see there is the same idiots the same problems and the same crashes. Im to competitive to have people just smash into you. Still doing good videos though Dave
Lime Rock park Classic tomorrow will be glorious!
Very boring like oval with a slow car.
This is basically Formula Ford but with less power.
They’re amazing, would love to have a run in one.
3.9K my arse!
More like just 3.9 😂
Another fine race Dave.
I've not been on this week yet.
I raced earlier with you, total carnage, you should post a best of the worst crashes you've seen today
Dave: the corner at the bottom of the hill is the worst.
Also Dave: Proceeds to go off on turn 1, 5 times in a row.
Uh huh dave, gotcha. What a fun car. I actually won one of these last night
Might give this a go when I get back from the pub.
I think everyone else in this race clearly had done the same
I’ve noticed that when people spin off the track they want to get back into the racing as quickly as possible with total disregard to traffic behind them as if spinning off the track shouldn’t cost them any positions. Yes folks there are consequences to your mistakes and actions. I would say you’d have to get the car stopped as quickly as possible And remain still until you know you can move without ruining somebody else’s day. But what a surprise there are tons of drivers on Iracing that could care less about ruining your day right after ruining their own
This thing without wings has more grip than the F4 Tatuus in RaceRoom, unbelievable.
love Dave's commentary lol
I liked the new SCCA Ford a lot!
Cool, it even sounds like an air-cooled v-2 at full chat. The lovely drone brrrr. Miss my Ducati. Don’t miss the accompanying bills.
Yep, I missed my Ducati too. Although a more modern water cooled version, but the same bill size 😁
@@davecamm I had a Multistrada 1100s. With ohlins all round and a termi race exhaust and chip. My wife hated it, she called it “that bitch”. 😂
And don’t get me started on that single sided swingarm 🤤
I threw this little thing around in a practice session tonight. It was crazy amounts of fun! The best part was after about 45 minutes I was getting really quick. The small size will also make some of the free tracks a load of fun to race on. Do I see a community race in these...?
Sunday evening 😁
I always find it funny how much slower the super high iRating guys are with new cars and NO SETUPS. Looks like a fun car though, and well done! Also its funny, these even smoke like a real-life Volkswagen!
"skidding along quite satisfying" - 😂
I'm hoping my AMS1 experience in the Vees will pay off here, when I eventually jump into one of these.
Not as fun as it was in AMS (Automobilista1), but an interesting addition :) thanks Dave for the vid
I feel like the tires in iRacing are a lot better than in AMS. Barely any braking zones and it turns on a dime. In AMS it's a proper challenge to wrestle the car around.
Some great races in FV if you can avoid the accidents lol
I've raced a Formula Vee in real life (as per SCCA rules; these appear to be different based on the tires). Now I really want to get into iRacing!
BTW, the only thing that could have made the incident reel more entertaining would have been to have "Yakety Sax" playing in the background. :)
The Vee in iRacing is pathentic without any form of informative FFB. Reiza wins by a ridiculous margin if it is with AMS, AMS2 or rF2.
I clicked with the new 911 sooo much. Love it!. For some reason after 2 laps in the VEEEE I turned the game off. not for me
Looks more fun than the mx5!
Wish they'll do an a 'advanced Formula Vee' series at some point! Also Mazda not needing clutch makes it so much better to drive. Suggest giving it a go!
I can see the advanced version coming for sure 😁
really, not needing clutch takes all the fun away, imo.
Ah, the infamous Jason Perry2! 4:25
HAHA, Week 13 in the Vee is crazy! Fun, annoying, angry, elation all in a race. P5 just be surviving
they look more fun than the Skippy lol, great video and great driving once again from Magic Dave lol
Hoping for a c class series for it soon, it needs to be raced at Brands.
@@0NoQuarter14 Why would it be a C when Skip and SRF are D?
Tbh it wouldn't surprise me if the had an 'advanced' series down the line.
@@jellybiscuitjust that advanced mx5 & Street stock are C.
@@0NoQuarter14 Ok. Though that doesn't make sense either. Maybe the existence of PCC justifies moving advanced to C? That gives you a solid progression in the same car. I've given up trying to figure out classes.
these looks awfully similar to the f1600! i do love how they look though!
2:58 sarcastic spotter
these look like Skippies without the aero package
How do you have the additional spotter and how do you get the current standings etc available? Great video with fun racing!
Should be Crew Chief, if you give it a quick search you'll find it.
Any preference why you like the McLaren wheel over the formula v2? See you use the McLaren more.
Just size more than anything 👍
@opening statement .... Truth! some do have more dollars,than sense lol
I would love a re edit of the crashes with the Benny Hill theme tune playing over it
now i want to see that lol
Nice Dave!!! Did you change the Brake Bias?
Just about 4 clicks back.
Brandon J Powell chatting at the start there . . . . i wonder if that`s the same Brandon Powell that made BTB (Bob's Track Builder)?
OHHHHH its Good
Carnage at Oulton Park!
As a mid level mid/lower rank driver iRAcing has become more an exercise in patience than racing
Looks a watered down version of the Lotus 49, but still fun!
Vr will make you sick all them flips haha 😂
Man i racing looks so fun. it just seems like such a expensive game to invest into vs regular drive sims.
Yeah it is. Once you've got a lot of content the monthly subscription is worth it. Just a but of a hut at the beginning.
I hope the Formula Vee cars will be a D or C class car so I can participate in next season road.
You can still race it even though it's a rookie car 😁
Gawd I’ve seen Formula Vee drivers in real life with P-plates on the back having less trouble than this.
But I suppose this is what you get when you ask people who might be GT3 specialists to try something different!
Lol, my race went from 17th to 4th before getting punted. Such is life...
Dude at 18:08 had one job hahahah
Nice race, Dave! You must have had a horseshoe up your ass on that first lap! 😀
I have the same pedals as you and am curious why you have your brake spring installed at the end of the cushions. Thanks!
No reason, just the way I put it back together. I don't suppose it matters where it is 😁
The Formula Vee drives a lot like a Formula Ford drives in real life, just a bit slower. I am loving this car.
Dave, what are you using to view the incident replays?
These cars reminds me of the Formula Ford cars
They look like a road version of the sprint car with no wing
I'm not in top split but thought I was a better driver now I realize everyone was going off track on purpose but still got p3 and p2
18:05 Classic iRacing
the trouble with some people they do not practice enough they just jump in a race and cause havoc.
Week 13 will do that for ya
p3 and all you had to do is keep it on the road haha good job
How do you sometimes shift using the clutch pedal and other times you don't use it?
Sorry if it's a noob question, I'm just getting into the car and sim racing world!
I use auto blip, so clutch up, no clutch down. Means I can left foot brake 👍
@@davecamm oh, that's very intereting! And, I should add, makes perfect sense to allow for mid turn quick braking when needed! Thank you, Dave!
are you using a sequential gear stick, thing (dont know what theyre called). i don't have an H shifter, is it ok to drive these on paddles or is that not very realistic? thank you
Yes it's fine 😁
Hi....Do you need a Brake pedal to use a H-pattern or sequential shifters....
