- I was genuinely more nervous about posting my first talking head video than driving an F1000 for the first time. Obviously race videos and crash videos are more exciting, but hopefully this video provides some guidance on how to enter F1000 for people with no motorsport experience.
No motorsport experience?
1:47 - karting is the best starting point
Experience in karting?
3:45 - Racing license process and steps
6:21 - Finding a drive and testing cars
7:25 - Things to know before starting in motorsport
8:26 - Race kit and the cost
12:40 - Exclusive announcement (lol) for Chapman's Corner
This link on the 750MC covers everything I spoke about in more detail, and some points that I missed - www.750mc.co.uk/racing.htm
Racing Pack from Motorsport UK - £104
ARDS course - £270
Race Kit - £950 (helmet, HANS, gloves, suit, boots)
Arrive and drive car rental - ~£1200 day rate
F1000 Racecar - From £14,000 second hand ready to race
If you have your ARDS license, but want to enter F1000 or single-seater you should;
- Meet drivers and teams at a race weekend for 750MC - www.750mc.co.uk/calendar.htm or Monoposto - monoposto.co.uk/calendar/
- Join Facebook Groups advertising drives.
- Message me to be put in touch with a team or Jedi Cars.
Thank you so much for posting this. Hoping to be in your position soon
If I can help, let me know
@@ChapmansCorner Thank you! Really appreciate that. May be PM’ing you sometime in the near future; at the moment, just focusing on building up my skills in karting.
Thanks, very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Thanks for the info, I think i've caught the bug after a couple of track days at Paul Ricard then 6 series of netflix back to back. Your perfect for motorsport as you hardly blink. Subscribed.
What did you drive around PR?
Haha tell me about it, I actively have to think about blinking but still can’t 😅 like you said, channeling my Max Verstappen
Thanks a lot for the all the details, i understand much more how it work.
It's very pricey for me, but maybe someday after good savings... ^^
Last word : it's was not boring at all, for a first video you did very well and the timestamps are the cherry on the cake.
It is extremely expensive, and this is one of the the affordable options. I would recommend LoCost for you, fantastic racing, or Formula VEE.
Appreciate that!
I’m getting into F1K myself, so these vids are invaluable.😎 Where you get your HANS device from at that price? 😳👏🏻
I’ll be at the NEC show next Saturday, so hopefully see some nice “show deals”. 🙏😎👍🏻
Great vids keep em coming.
Blessings.🙏😎👍🏻
Great video, the hidden costs are the real costs of motorsport
Thanks! It all adds up
Autosport essentials:
step 1: money
step 2: more money
step 3: even more money
step 4: think it was enough? still need more
Step 5: repeat 1-4
I have enjoyed your videos. It would have been handy to know that tyres are 1k a set, and apparently one needs a new set every weekend. Also it would have been useful information to know that Friday testing is not included in the weekend track fee. I've bought a car, so now it's time to save up for the season. Thanks for your videos, see you next year.
If you want to compete at the front, you need a new set every weekend. If you happy just getting comfortable in the car, I ran old tyres first few races.
Thanks for the feedback
Awesome man, see you next year
Good to know, certainly not going to be competing at the front.
@@search4orlife we’ll be racing at the back, it’s great fun
Are you planning to race all six weekends? Just wondering which tracks you have enjoyed the most? I'm thinking probably 3/4weekends first season plus a few test days.
@@search4orlifeI would love to race all 6 but might have to skip one or two.
My favourite track is Oulton, you have to do that - it’s like being on a rollercoaster. Cadwell is even more insane according to my teammate, a must do but a tough track.
Croft and Donnington are also incredible tracks, I’ve not raced at Don but have done 2 test days there.
Brands Indy I’ve not raced but looks fun even if it’s simple.
The Silverstone layouts are cool because it’s Silverstone. I may skip this round though and enter MonoPosto instead, as they run the full Silverstone GP layout which is much cooler than the 2 halves.
Do you have a sim?
Hey mate next year I'm thinking about getting a race car I have done a lot of go karting and have a racing sim. I'm thinking about going into one of the monoposto series. Do you know what you need to get in. And how does it work if I have my own car
Hi mate! Can message me on Insta so we can chat if you want. If you have your own car you’ll need a team to help with trackside support, transport abs storage if you don’t have that.
MonoPosto looks good, I haven’t raced with them but plan to do the Silverstone GP with them next year
What engines do they use. A motorcycle engine work beautifully no differential neede with standard sequential gearbox
Any pre-2006 production motorcycle engine, 90% of the grid use Suzuki GSX-R1000, the rest Yamaha R1
How much was the f1000 car and what are the projected annual costs? Been finding it difficult to get ahold of any concrete numbers
My car = £20k (range £14-£30k)
Tyres = £1k per set (need 1 a weekend to be competitive)
Day rate for trackside support = £450 per day (race weekend is 1 optional test + 1 or 2 day racing)
Car prep for a session = £200
Race weekend entry = £450
Test day entry = £390
Transport = £200 per race weekend
Repairs and mechanical issues = no idea… example an engine is around £3k, £40 per hour labour. Can imagine there will be at least £5k repairs over the year, probably more.
Follow on Insta and DM if you want more detail or to discuss
@@ChapmansCorner thanks Burt! Might very well be in contact in future, hoping to get my ARDS license by next year
Any chance of a test in your car Bert😉 (bend it mend it rules apply!!).
Absolutely mate! If you let me win at Wilton Mill 😉
How can the HANS cost £150 when the 30degree models for single seaters cost more than the standard 20's?
Daytona in UK. Lol 😆 🤣. Try the real Daytona.... I love your car and videos.❤🎉
Only just seen this! Haha yeah to be fair mate, it’s not competition which one I would rather race at.
Appreciate the support, first race is in 3 weeks!
