If I knew that screenshot of the wet tyre was going in a video I would have taken more effort with it! 🤣 Didn't have a chance for the back end to get loose in my session, was a very wet Mt Panorama Bathurst and I was going VERY slowly. 🌧
Yeah I found it a lot easier to throw around Road Atlanta just now compared to the F3. Can carry a lot of speed in the corners and I wasn’t spinning or locking up at all. I’m guessing top speed is lower but lap times are a bit faster.
For fun, a few of my friends and I ran some cars on the dry and wet on Mosport. That car on dry was a missile on Mosport. Defo a fun car to drive on slightly shorter circuits. T1 and T2 of Mosport were flat. Was really excited for this. Can't wait for the season to start. Did the Snetterton race, Little Wings. And man do you have to be gentle on the brakes. Slammed the brakes towards to rear and I survived for the most part.
That's an interesting bug to encounter. I personally didn't try using the actual wet setup, I just loaded up one of the dry setups and then manually changed the tires to wet in the garage and that worked for me. This car is quite smooth, and sounds kind of amazing. I also love how it's more forgiving with the rev limiter than the previous F3 car, which sounded all sorts of gross hitting that limiter, lol.
Seems like you like the handling most places but too pointy in the high speed turns. What you prob need is a bit more rear downforce bias, so one tic more rear or one less in the front. Another thing that would give less front downforce is slightly higher front ride height, in comparison to the rear's ride height. Generally I prefer more push in low speed corners, allows me to be a bit more aggressive on the throttle & save it if I use too much/ too abruptly, and more rear DF in high speed corners where abrupt throttle is a bit less of a cause for spinning. I'm not super knowledgeable about getting the car fast but I know how to get it to feel how I like. You seem to have far too much front downforce, so I'd move it back until you got a slight push, then fine tune the rest of the general setup. You may come back to that higher front DF once you get everything else sorted out. Look at Driver61's channel & website for setup advice. I found it hugely helpful 😁
I noticed that you sometimes have a white flicker on the screen. I would so love to get a g9 49'' or 57'' monitor, but is it the case that Samsung has still not fixed the backlight flicker.
Tried it at Suzuka with the Suzuka setup (seems to be on the schedule for season 2) and it drives like on rails. I am even a little disappointed coz it can be driven so easily
if you compare braking. Is there diference? Old F3, with cigarbox, braking is strange (for me) after couple weeks i cant stil figure out how to brake. Super formula is good, F4 is good, FF is good but F3 is spinfest.
Difficult to remember to be honest with you as its been a while since I spent time in the F3. Personally they felt good, be wary of thr Brake Bias being very far forward though. Overall the car felt very pointy and loose on the rear in those 2 setups I used
Thanks for doing the video! How would you describe the tires on that car? Are they the hockey puck tires of the SF or are they softer (with corresponding wear) like the standard F3 car? Edit:. I ended up buying it and man, this thing is awesome! The tires are made of rubber and they do wear. I actually found this to be the easiest car to learn rain driving with Non-pro tip:. Try the medium downforce setup for Silverstone. That one will be a lot more predictable there.
the high downforce setup is complete trash in this car. The only good setups I have found so far are the Okayama and the Suzuka setups. Seems like the car likes right around 42%-44% aero balance, otherwise the rear end is spiteful
Nope, but until may we will not see it racing IRL for first time (when the SF Lights season irl starts). But they have been doing tests with it from several months ago already. I think they have another one next week for example
I don't like this car because I expected a F3 car and is so different. I will race in this season, but the car is to slow do compare with F3. I had the same feeling when I tested the F4 car when they introduce in iRacing.
Not sure if it only me, but the on board sound is horrible. Reminds me of a sewing machine, not a race car. Compared to this, the IRL F3 cars last week sounded so good....

The new super formula lights car is now one of my favorite cars and I hope it becomes very popular
I have been teat riding this for days now. Absolutely love it
On a good setup I found the car sticks to the track like glue and is very easy to drive. Immediately one of my favorite cars
I wanna give it a other go, didn't get the most amount of time with it last night unfortunately

“Can I take Copse flat?……no I can’t!” - that made me chuckle, Scott! 😂
"Thats a negative!"
In the rain I first i barely got out of the pits before I spun out 😂
At least you had WET tyres to use 😂

This car on Snetterton. Mint.
yesterday the sim just wasnt working man. i couldnt even get into the UI
You were not alone, I was fortunate to get on and record this but not without issues
At least your showing the learning curve nice info for us newbies!@

i found the base line to be a good set up

The wheel not moving in game is a tad offputting.
Will you be doing a live stream just messing around with rain?
Yep I will be
VR isnt working for quite a few people, me included. cant join public servers sadly. hopefully fixed tomorrow morning
They will sort it out.
Bro just got home from school now it’s under maintenance I didn’t even get to play it😭
It will be back up soon dont worry
@@stuffeyy yep just got back up and am very happy
Same 😢

so is this the real life current f3 car?

Non-pro tip:. Try the medium downforce setup for Silverstone. That one will be a lot more predictable there.
Didn't get to spend too much time in the car to find out unfortunately.
It seems like a gb3 car as a real word example, around silverstone at least
I was hoping this was fairly similar to the actual F3...
fuck.
I was so excited for this update then I hopped on and iRacing was down but then it came back up and I liked the rain and new super formula light car!😊
do we know yet if its replacing the current formula c series or is it gonna be another series?
It will not be replacing the F3 series right now. They will run side by side. I assume eventually it will though
@@stuffeyy I wouldn't be surprised if the SFL would replace the F3 in a couple of seasons to be fair
Someone needs to call protective services on you. Straight up abusing that tearoff button 😂
If I used tearoffs IRL like I do in the sim, my visor would be like 2 inches thick at the start. LOL!
I hate dirt 😂
Definitely looks more planted and calm than the sliding F3 with its noisy engine
I need to jump back in the F3 to do a comparison. Been out of the car too long to remember how it directly compares

Is this a fictional car?
No, This is a "Junior" Class for Super Formula, and if u want to see, there is free broadcast in their YT Channel.
Thank you.
Nope, but until may we will not see it racing IRL for first time (when the SF Lights season irl starts). But they have been doing tests with it from several months ago already. I think they have another one next week for example
It's also used in Euroformula Open across Europe, as a stepping stone to FIA F3.

I like the sound of this car actually but pf course it's all subjective
