Wow, that sounds great! Almost LMP3-ish on the flyby. Would not have expected that.

Only 10x? Including towing? Oh man, I feel like I'm more at 30-40x, *excluding* towing.

Fun race weekend, and great end to my F1000's racing season!

Seven F1000s answered the call last weekend, which I think is one of the highest F1000 turnouts for an SCCA Majors race in quite some...

That was only an early practice run. The actual run just occurred, improved the record by 0.82 second, and looked pretty wild doing it:

While I hope...

On this car, the air filter is just sitting on top of the carb, and everything is loosely covered by the engine cowling. There aren't any funnels or ram-air-type devices intentionally present, though...

Great questions. Although I don't have a fan that would be powerful enough, I do have a leaf blower. I will give that a try and see what happens.

It's a Bosch LSU 4.9 wideband O2 sensor, so the...

I noticed an unexpected variation in my AFR on my Vee while racing this past weekend, and after pondering it for a while, I was wondering if anybody can come up with a compelling explanation.

Greg,

Arax and I both raced last season and have been in this discussion.

Jeff

I agree 100% with everything you said, Arax: I want to keep everything as it is; I like my revs; I like my Geartronics; I'm not interested at all in downgrading my car to run with a slower run group;...

In the 2020 Majors, all of the 11 PX entries were made by 5 individuals. The cars entered were:



Radical RXC 600R (twice)
Radical PX (three times)
Argo JM-16 (once)
Riley DP (once)
...

While I appreciate the goal of getting more cars involved, I *don't* support moving FB out of FA and into FX.

Looking at my own data relative to FX, it would take a MUCH tighter restriction than...

As one of the six (yes, six) people who actually entered an F1000 in at least one Majors race during the 2020 season, I decided to pull up the results from all of the Majors races and look at the...

Why would FX be the target? Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to try to join up with FC rather than FM (excuse me, FX)? Based on lap records, FC is only a little slower than FB (~3-5% depending on...

I don't want to speak for the FF group in RMVR, but I can see in the entry data that there is some precedent over the past few years for slightly newer FFs running even at events where FF isn't the...

Yup, at least for this race.

My hope is that everybody will see how awesome and non-threatening the slightly newer but still not exactly modern winged formula cars, like your Reynard, are during...

Good news: this event is still on, and it's just three weeks away!

Even better news: BOSS (Big Open-wheel Single Seater) cars, even those that aren't exactly vintage and aren't exactly as big as...

I bought my F1000 on BaT a few months ago and had a great experience. I'd use BaT again.

Jeff

I've been going with about an inch below the bottom of the fill plug based on things I'd read in the past. Is that still a reasonable point?

Jeff

A little while back, I got a hot tip about running Lucas L9 in an FV gearbox. Since then, I've heard first-hand reports from three Vee racers singing the praises of L9.

That said, it seems kind of...

I'm using Ninja 68 cu in bottles and a Yong Heng 4500 psi air compressor from eBay.

I went with those bottles because that's what Gary included when I bought my car from him, so I just got a few...

Welcome! There are a good number of Vee racers in the Denver area, and pretty much any/all of them would be happy to help you get started, whether it's answering questions, trying on cars, or...

Got Gary's old car, now mine, out on the track for the first time today. Keeping in mind that I'd never previously driven a downforce car of any sort, let alone this specific car, and also with the...

Good question. I'll need to do some testing, but it seems plausible that I'll need to fiddle with the maps.



Yup, all of the listed spares and tires -- so very many tires! -- were indeed...

The car has made it to Colorado, and I can't wait to get it on the track. :checkered:

I know, I know: I should try to squeeze three in there :)

The plan is to continue to race my vintage race car at vintage races and (hopefully) my new race car at modern races.

Will do, Jake! I'm pretty excited about it.

I just need to break the news gently to my daily driver that both spots in the garage are now for race cars only :ha:

Jeff

It's going to be coming here to Colorado :D :greenflag:

Jeff

Regarding the oil level, did you check it with the engine running? It will read high if you check it with the engine off. My understanding is that with the engine at idle the oil level should be...

The Brazilian Vees in Automobilista have been released by Reiza Studios as add-ons for rF2. (Reiza Studios made Automobilista, which in turn uses the rFactor 1 engine under the hood.) Had a chance to...

The vintage FV is still available for rFactor 1. I like to drive it around a simulated version of my local track, High Plains.

Wow, that really is poorly written. It looks like it's trying to state a few things:



That standards and specifications described in the "Measurement Standards" section can be overridden by...

I'm assuming these are awesome, but since I'm new to FV, could you enlighten me as to what exactly makes them better than the standard drums? Are they stronger? Lighter? Machined to tighter...
