It's almost scary how fast you were going compared to everyone else.

Skinny tires and low/no downforce makes for good racing, who agrees? C:

Absolutely. I love those rookie classes.

Holy Cow, I love this circuit!

AI opponents on easy?

Jeez, I'd love a dollar for every Formula ford that has won a race using a Larner engine. I'm old enough to recall when Peter was building engines for Jamie to use racing against Steve Ellery in the early 90's. Credit to whoever set up the gear ratios for Luke - they're perfect for what is needed around Bathurst. Yes, it's bloody hard to launch the thing at the start, but once you're moving it all makes sense.

You messed up your start on purpose, so you could give us this great footage ;-) What a wonderful track by the way.

RIP for that launch, lost a solid 4 places of the start but a great comeback! Spectacular racing

WOW... one of the greatest fight backs I have ever seen

Had no idea that FFs raced on that crazy circuit! Great video and some ballsy driving.

Great driving, and I reckon he had the strongest engine too.

I live in the United States and I watch F1, MotoGP, AMA SuperBike, and NASCAR. Some of the MOST enjoyment I've gotten watching racing has been watching Formula Ford and Formula Vee racers that have posted their videos (from Bathurst, especially) to KZread. This reminds me of footage from hotly contested vintage races from the 1950's and 60's. The cars behave much more like that era and I like that. What great series and what a dramatic track. Great driving. I hope you keep posting more of it.

Some great overtakes man

I raced in the UK FF Zetec back in the 90s with webber, Best racing ever, Gearing was what did it here, slower away but great advantage one you got going.... Nice one....

Going downhill , down shifting one handed through some fast tight turns with traffic , GOOD SHIT MAN

How can they follow so close with all that aero? Oh.....wait.....

absolutely brilliant.

Great circuit and outstanding driving. Thanks for posting.

formula ford at a track like Bathurst... crazy. god bless Australia

You should see the old bike footage, and even more frightening, sidecars. Some videos I spotted here on YT, the 1983 500cc Australian Grand Prix, 1974 unlimited GP, and a documentary, Descent on the Mountain 1981 Bathurst.

Great footage! Excellent drive!!

What a great drive!!! Awesome and Respect - George Blundell

even with a stiff clutch this guy is unbelievably fast. you the real mvp.

Nicely run race. Picked your passes well, kept smooth and consistent. Congrats.

Outstanding driving!

Some great driving

awesome vid, great action

A great drive on a great track dudes got some skill

Muito bem!!! Acompanhei cada troca de marcha, cada curva, ultrapasagens, saidas de frente, seus esforcos em trocar as marchas, em guiar bem o carro!! Ainda bem que existe uma modalidade como esta, que usa a mecanica, a guarra de um piloto e nao somente a auta tecnologia, literalmente eu fico feliz por este estilo de categoria!! PARABENES, FOI MUITO BOM !! SOU DO BRASIL!!!

I cant even describe how much i want to do this too

what an awesome track. the elevation changes are just crazy.

Good engines those Larner engines!

What an awesome driver!

Beautiful circuit.

Has his engine builder given him a fifth cylinder?? This things got some serious waft!

Brings back memeories I had a Titan 6b

Bang on 👏🏻👏🏻

Great track!!!

this circuit is great

This is legit racing, i would love to do this shit one day, i'll put it on my bucket list, great driving! all of those passes were clean and brave.

......and then he ran out of fuel at 10:30 :-) That was a great Vid. Nice Driving! Beautiful Track!

1:11 ballsy! The end of Conrod would be terrifying in one of these

Ahaha. That starts almost as bad as my Karting, but damn bro. Amazing drive, love Panorama. Wish I could go there someday!

Great pilot, like senna used to do!

Great driving, looks like somebody knows exactly what he's doing.

Good pilot

Bad start but it is a good thing that you are running against people you can trust to not do anything stupid the way you drive deep into the corners under them! Looks like fun.

Really sounds like that car wants to be revving out more in first second and third gear.

You can see the red bias adjustment knob to the left of his dash. He's trail-braking so yes the rear gets squirrelly. Any car is a handful at the limit..

good stuff

favourite drive

big power motor...best driver.

You can race on that track on real racing 3, it's one of my favorites !

i agree. . .makes it all the more fun. .about how fast do you think these cars go, ,like on that straight?

You coulda bumped the clutch at the start to get some revs back when you bogged. Great video!

The genius who decided to let open wheel cars drive at Bathurst should make the F1 calendar.

Good engine. Papi gift!!! Straight line hero. Corner and downhill chicken...

that classic toca 3 track for the skline gtr cars was a nice teack

3:50 I nearly messed my pants just watching that. That was quite a bit of opposite steering input

That car looks like a handful to drive with those small tires and the track seems bumpy as hell, but the driver looks like he is having a whale of a time holding on!

The boy can drive

crazy driving. In them Formula Fords there little to no grip really. They have pretty much no downforce(no Spoliers etc) and they have them little skinny tyres witch are hard and treaded but geez some of the drivers can get them quick! Look at the steering wheel moving all the time! he's really at the limit of grip! he's really sliding/drifting the car everywhere, even on the straight the car is moving around!

I would expect most of the catch up time would be had in the turns but that thing was just faster then everyone else on the straights.

Omg I just ran laps here a few weeks ago!

Bathurst drove just right.

Unkown: " You cant overtake there " Luke: " This is Formula Ford! Pah! "

He's really skilled and brave to go onto that grass...just look at those tires! Is it just me or do the front tires have positive camber?

Crazy...

Excellent driving but I reckon there was a distinct power advantage.

those funny little wheels ..

Formula driver's go deeper and come out harder.

Toe does affect straight line speed, but not that much. What is more interesting is the 5-speed 'box. I didn't realise you were allowed to use the 5-speed LD200 in Australian Formula Ford.

pretty awesome, what is this guy doing now?

i think 'ryanacehigh' referenced 'toe' in relation to corner entry and exit speed.

What about these FF average lap speed on this track ? Thanks for the upload !

anywhere from 115 to 125 mph give or that mph here or there if they have lead foot formula ford is so much fun

MIghty motor matey.

Although the senna said it was a category that needed speed

Lesson in gearing here.

Terrible start, great finish!!! My kind of race!!

He didn't divebomb anyone.

Everytime this driver downshifts it hurts my heart - the fact that he isn't heel & toe'ing very clearly unbalances his car under heavy breaking, stresses his engine and transmission and as can be seen makes him react very nervously on the wheel. Im not judging, though, i hope i make this quite clear. To be honest, except for onboard kart races i don't remember ever seeing such raw display of skill, his car control is outstanding, specially on a track like bathurst.

@monsterjamschannel

Along with not heel & toeing, he's not tucking his arms in towards his body to keep his arms from moving the wheel which is another reason why the car is weaving and shaking before he even gets to downshifting.

Formula Ford cars are actually pretty cheap.

actually, it's because of the vibration. tracks aren't as smooth as most people would think, they jostle the steering wheel a lot. he doesn't drift a whole lot either.

I feel like some of those cars were bearly moving compared to him! :P
