- Final race of the weekend after not finishing any previous session due to car problems and failures, coming from the back of the field to finishing third in class is a decent way to finish the weekend. The car is a 1998 Van Diemen with a Ford Kent engine. In practice halfway through the session my brakes were gone and my throttle was getting stuck so I only managed half a session, qualifying was canceled due to the CCTV cameras not working. Race 1 going into corner 8, my throttle jammed and I hit the wall causing minor left side suspension damage. Race 2 I failed to start the race as the ground wire to the oil pump got disconnected and it was unable to be fixed and finally Race 3 I started from the back of the pack and fought my way to finish third in the Pro-Am class. Big thanks to my mechanics Frank and Jimmy for fixing the car after the crash and helping me with the weekend and my parents for being with me every step of the way.

WOW!!!! What a battle for 3rd place
well driven
Thanks!
Insane racing
looks like so much fun! I usually bike there in the summer but it looks more fun in a formula 1600... gotta love the mirror held in place with duct tape
Enough duct tape can solve anything
Well Done !! I really enjoyed your battle for 3rd. You did really well to control the race line and not give him the space to make the final turn onto the front straight. Just subscribed and looking forward to this season. Good Luck - from Halifax- former Montrealer..
Thanks!😁, appreciate the support and once the season starts I’ll post some more on-boards.
They held you guys on the grid for ever... the engine temps must have been high.
Yeah, I don’t know why they keep us there for that long, normally we go through the pit lane so I can turn off the car and talk to my team but this year we went straight on the track. In race 1 it surprised everyone and the guy in front of me still had his umbrella with him in the car and had to throw it on the grass on the straight.
👏
No way the great Cmsy commented on my video, what an honour
I was at turn one on that race! Great job 👏
Thanks, hope you enjoyed the finish😄
That motor sounds so tight. Awesome race.
Thanks, glad to hear that
NICE DRIVE
Thank you
You are expert at battle
One eternity later...
This looks like so much fun! How do you get into F1600? Is this a championship race? I have many questions and I'm struggling to find answers online but very interested in this!
Also I was there in grandstand 47 on the straight so I saw you!
i started racing a couple years ago in karting and then I took the jump into cars and formula ford was the only open wheel championship in Canada so we decided to do that and then got a good deal on the car. It was a championship race, it counts towards the Quebec series championship and not the Ontario one as the classes get scored differently and they are separate championships. I'd be happy to answer some more questions you have. Appreciate the comment!
@@victorsmialek that's amazing! Thanks! The F1600 website is pretty outdated so I couldn't get much info on it. Is there anywhere else I can see results and more information that's more up to date, do you know?
@@mirpenteidng formula1600.com/
That’s the Ontario website which I think you might have already checked out but there’s really nowhere else, I don’t know why the Quebec championship doesn’t update their website. It’s a shame. For example I get all the results and weekend info from email from the organizer. For the public I don’t think there is much.
@@victorsmialek all good, thanks for everything!
And that's called having more HP than your competitor.... Drive is smooth, but clearly a mechanical advantage at play... Just watch from 27:40+ and the unassisted pace (no draft required).... Having raced against the RF98, I can speak to it's aero slippery platform.
I don't think he had an engine advantage. The orange car seemed to lack grip coming off of the final chicane, allowing for him to retake the spot. Otherwise, he wasn't really pulling away.
The orange car lost the throttle return springs about 3 laps in. The car would pin the throttle. Had to clutch kick to slow for the corners and was at a disadvantage on entry and exit. Miracle that it finishedthe race.
Did you seriously weave going onto the track with a marshall in the middle of the track? If I was the race director that day I’m black flagging you instantly
First off, I’m coming onto to the track so I wasn’t even going fast, secondly the angle might look close but I assure you I wasn’t close to him, I would never almost hit him, thirdly everyone else was weaving and I wasn’t even weaving hard. I appreciate the concern for the Marshall but no one was even close to hitting him.
