You rock Jake! Keep up the awesome driving. I wanna race with you someday. It's been a dream of mine to get on the track. I love having you in class. You are talented in many areas! Many blessings Bro! Lil Row
correct me if i am wrong but if your wondering about the squeel of the engine as it accelerates, i believe it is the gears it is pulling that make that sound. i may be wrong
Unbelievable, your lap times are very impressive and great driving. I took the Intro into Racing class at Laguna Seca and my laps were nowhere near as good as yours, great video.
that is normal for the formula dodge, they use basically shaved street tires. Narrow tires compared to other racing slicks, so they slide or turn at more of an angle where it looks like sliding than a wide tire.
How do you upshift and downshift in these cars? Because i know that in a normal car to upshift you do Clutch in, Shift, Clutch out, gas. And to downshift it is Brake, Clutch in, Blip, Shift, Clutch out is it any different in these cars? do they have sequential transmissions?
from what ive seen in the Skip Barber training videos on TH-cam they do have a clutch and the shifter is tucked in on the right side and cant really be seen unless you look in from the left side.
Reduced drag resistance.... is the main reason, it's called drafting. Other than that, different driving styles( tire temperatures -should be close but locking up tires heats them up quick as hell and can reduce grip in some cases, driveline, etc) driver weight...
in addition to drafting, if your exit from the previous corner is only slightly faster than the guy in front, it will take the most of the straight to get ahead or even with the car in front sometimes
wrong, most of the length of the track is the straits, so having even 1 mph on the exit of the turn is much greater time reduction for the lap, than say going through the turn a little faster.
It's actually not any team radio. This is Skip Barber Racing School. These are the instructors calling the race from corners to insure safety and clean racing. If there are infractions, they are seen. This is only heard by race control, instructors and the mechanics on pit lane. None of the drivers hear any of this.
If they are all equal how is it so easy to pass on the straight while pretty much getting the same drive as the guy in front of you? It frustrated the other guys so much they all spun behind you and were locking up trying to stay in front! Seems like I would see more out braking maneuvers if things were really equal. maybe you are lighter than them?
Could be the car was slightly had a few more hp than others. Even though they are same engines, it isn't always perfectly equal. Sometimes a car might be firing a little better than others. That said, getting back to the gas sooner in the turn is also how he may pass on straits. That is the best place to pass is on strait. Late breaking into a turn rarely leads to a sustained pass.
Looks like he had a hair more top speed than everyone else. Otherwise they would have drafted him right to the front. I didn't see many others pass on the straights.
the objective of this cars is not speed, is to learn car control, if you can drive one of those thing well, you will be able to drive most other automobiles
being able to drive those well, does not mean you can drive other, more faster cars. Faster, high power and performance cars are even harder. This is for learning the basics of race driving, like breaking before the turn and not in the turn etc.
wow!! that was amazing racing. This guy really knows what he is doing. great video
I think you are the only guy hitting the apexs of the corner.
Nice work in turn 1

nothing is gonna happen on the straight huh? GR
dayam that kept getting better, very impressive

Amazing skills man!! Congrats!!
Unbelievable, your lap times are very impressive and great driving. I took the Intro into Racing class at Laguna Seca and my laps were nowhere near as good as yours, great video.
great overtaking!! congrats!
That was great, you really pushed the car, the tires were starting to lose grip at some points.
that is normal for the formula dodge, they use basically shaved street tires. Narrow tires compared to other racing slicks, so they slide or turn at more of an angle where it looks like sliding than a wide tire.
great racing!!!
How much is the full 3 day program at Skip Barber, and what exactly happens after you finish? Do they just give you a completion certificate?
awesome driving!
Awesome driving
Nice line, mate!!!
outstanding!
sweet driving bro!
What a beast

Thanks youtube algorithm!
great racing but that speedometer is in km/h right? doesn't seem like 90+ mph idk
Nope it's definitely mph. I think it's the camera's field of view that makes it appear slower than it is.
@@samdajellybeenie14 that’s insane
@@bcuniverse_ Yeah I’ve never been racing in real life, but just going 90 mph on the interstate is scary. I can’t imagine doing that in a corner.
How is that posible
nice racing!
It is a bit like Star Wars Death Star attack run if you shut your eyes
Nice!!
Why was he the last to begin with?
+nessusing Probably spun on qualifying (they make you start in the back)
nice driving
Cool : D
Really awesome to see someone come from the back, but realistically these guys did suck.
I hate the team radio that it keeps shouting useless information (for me thats useless)

Wtf are these mission control comms 😂

overtakes cars before the start line wtf?
Faster reaction.

I think he could've gone from last to first even quicker if he'd jumped out of his car and ran.
annoying cometary....
Looks like he had a hair more top speed than everyone else. Otherwise they would have drafted him right to the front. I didn't see many others pass on the straights.
This isn't NASCAR, he was faster because he drove the corners faster by taking a better line and pushing the tires closer to the limit.
Power to weight ratio seems a bit lacking with these cars... I mean. It's faster than a minivan, but not by much.

marshalcraft that's WAY too basic.
If I were racing you, I'd down shift and gun it. No way you beat me!
what are these things electric motors?? lol
the noisy talking is absolutely annoying
