I did that today in a league race on Project cars 2. Given there were only 10 cars on the lineup and I was 7th but I came out in T1 as number 2

I tend to do this little challenge called "last to last" when simracing.

That is one of the Finest Starts for a single car & driver I've ever seen - and with that... The passing of what appears to be half of the cars In the entire race. Thumbs up ☝ for certain on your race that is kick ass. I believe if you pursued an open wheel career in racing - seen you race like that at 15 or 16 you would get snatched up by Red Bulls development team. develiomentt

I tried to go last to first in my debut Amateur race, first ever wet race, first session on track that weekend. On a motorcycle. It ended with me in the hospital with 3 screws in my hip. I did make it from 8th to 3rd though on lap 4. I even passed my rival and proceeded to crash in an epic fashion on the very next corner. Lesson learned. If you're completely out of your element, just take it easy. Great drive though, and great result.

What an absolutely excellent drive and rather modest voiceover. I thoroughly enjoyed it ....well done. Thankyou 👍🏽🇬🇧

I'd love to see this video again, with no commentary on the cars, and just the thought-processes behind each pass after you got free of the pack.

Great driving pal ... I race the formula 2000 series ,and i can tell you hit the corners perfect. Well done ...

Congrats on your victory but i would like to suggest next time double checking your audio to video alignment as youve been about .5s behind or so on describing the whole video lol.

Its satisfying when you watch this and can predict what your doing from my iracing experience alone. Makes me feel i am on right track. Much respect watching your videos

I love these videos! It's great to hear what you're thinking when you're driving through the race!

A master class in racecraft, well done! The Formula Ford is great for demonstrating how you use ALL of the track, and then some. It looks like you nailed the setup for those conditions. Your commitment on corner entry was frightening. Great that you got the chance to be out there with your dad!

Have been a fan since the donington and brands hatch lap records, I find myself getting faster and faster with every video of yours I watch, the tips are much appreciated!!!

The consistency and precision in your lines, woha.

I love last to first races. Great fun. I always watch those videos. My favorite race of all time of mine was when racing Formula Mazda at Thunder Hill. Started row 2 or 3, don't remember exactly, due to an off in qualifying. At the start I got a good drive into T1 as planned. Unfortunately, the cars in front did not, leaving no room. So lift, and off I go to sit and watch the whole field go by. So I work my way back to a great battle for 2nd that was really fun. Not a 1st, but then, I wasn't going to get 1st anyway even if I hadn't looped it in T1.

Your supreme car control and scouting of the grip before the start let you even put a front wheel on the grass twice while gaining time. on lap1-2. Brilliant stuff. Your are a great explainer of technique. I'm glad you found instructing as an amazing use of you talents.

Enjoyed seeing you putting the theory into practice. Really good watch, and great performance.

You're a stallion and very humble. Great race!

I was randomly searching for driver61 racing 🏁 style and came up here. Amazing to watch you changing the way of driving 🚘 based up on your position, understanding the track, opponent driver's psychics etc what not. You were truly a inspiration for me. All the very best for your future videos sir. My respect towards you was increasing while watching your videos one after the other consistently. With lots of love from your mad fan staying in india 🇮🇳.

Absolutely stunning racing...wow

Great respect on your skills and especially how you keep your kindness.

This is exemplary and everything I would wish to see. It's a lesson in energy conservation. Excellent

this is what i struggle with most, passing people safety while maintaining the line

A great practical proof of your expertise!

I don't want to blow smoke, but that's a stunning piece of driving and really informative commentary. 30 years ago I bought a MK24 Merlyn for the Pre-74 class (£2K from Andrew Stapley) to begin my assault on becoming a winning driver, when my wife was in hospital giving birth to our first son. Fortunately, she was in labour for bloody hours, because Andrew wasn't the easiest of people to negotiate with, but I just had time to nip home and "hide" the car in the garage. And it was pretty much downhill from there... First race was at Donington. I'd only been able to drive the car for about an hour the week before, and that was when the circuit was covered in snow. Come race day, I qualified in xx place, where xx is a high number. I thought I'd take it a bit easy at the start, on the basis that to win races, first you have to finish. Lights went green, and the entire bloody grid disappeared into the distance before I'd dropped the clutch, not helped by massive wheel spin on the only bit of damp tarmac that I'd managed to position the car on... Now, I would love to say that despite this setback I charged through the field to come a creditable 4th. Or 3rd. But that would be untrue! I spent the race toddling around by myself, and apart from the guy who's wheel seemed to have parted company with his car, the entire field lapped me. If I'm honest, I think the winner might have done this twice... To be fair, there were issues with the car. Instead of 1600cc , Mr Stapley seemed to have sold me something with the pulling power of an Austin 1100. With wheels that all pointed in different directions. And an exhaust he'd pinched off his company Cortina. And tyres that must have been used in the inaugural Formula Ford race, with wheels to match. And, and, and.... Towing the car back to Surrey from Donnington in appalling weather after the race in heavy traffic gave me time to think. They were not happy thoughts. Moral was quite low. On the floor. Again, it didn't help that Mr Stapley's bloody trailer seemed to have a mind of it's own over about 45mph. There was one good thing - nobody I knew had witnessed my performance because I'd gone by myself, so total humiliation was only seen by quite a small crowd on the day. When I got home I managed to get the trailer wedged in our drive, which was both narrow and steep. Just as I thought things couldn't get any worse, my neighbours son came out to watch me destroy one side of the drive wall. Seeing a grown man cry is not a pretty thing, so a bit my lip, and this kid of 17 quite politely suggested I might need some help. By now, I'd got the whole car/trailer debacle wedged into a seemingly irrecoverable position, ruling out use of car, trailer and Merlyn ever again, plus use of the drive to access the house. In fairness to my wife, when she came home with our new baby boy, when she saw the Merlyn for the first time she'd taken it pretty well. "What.. is that?", she said. And then pretty much nothing for the rest of the week..... Given that the only way to get to and from the house would now require climbing gear and abseiling without being able to use the drive, it was handy that this 17 year old kid said, "Look, I think it might be easier if I sorted this..." And he popped into the car and did just that. I could have kissed him. I think I might have. We get chatting. It turns out he's doing an engineering apprenticeship at a factory on what used to be Croydon Aerodrome. His job, and I kid you not, is to maintain VC10 engines for the RAF's transport and tankers. There is nothing he doesn't know about mechanical stuff. I mentally forgive him for the constant scream of his Apprila 125 at all times of the day and night, and he says he'd really like to be my mechanic. Yippee. By the end of the week I've taken the precaution of having "Spanners: Brian S" stencilled on the side of the car. No back now, young man, I think. His father is delighted. I think he views me as feckless, reckless and possibly a bit deranged, but he does think my wife is normal. "That's a great idea. At least it will keep the little sod out of any more trouble".

Great drive Scott! and good vehicle dynamics insights!

Good job mate! Congrats on the victory!

Props to your dad for providing such a great car capable of doing what it did. Great racing!

Great stuff Scott! How lovely to have an annual visit to the FF Festival. Love it there. Not sure why they got rid of Formula Ford as the first step from karts to single seaters. It was SO much more competitive than F4 is and I'm sure it taught more car control as well with the lower grip. Plus FF was so much better to watch.

Very interesting to see ans have you overlay your thoughts and point out things that I didnt see at all. Thank you man. Very nicely done.

Well done, you carry nice speed in the faster corners, huge difference in momentum coming out. Enjoy the videos, keep up the good work.

Superb driving Scott 👌🏻

Impressed, entertained subscribed. Love motor racing but can barely bring myself to watch F1 any longer it's so tedious. This would get me out of bed at 3am to watch.

Well done!!! Starting from the back.. that first lap usually indicates a lot .. if you get lucky enough for the right opportunities & accidents to appear, and blow through over 1/2 the field, then ya got a chance. Then add on random lucky help from lap traffic, and a guy up front who chooses to drive off-line to block... they usually make a huge mistake going "off script" like that.

Damn, the consistency before Surtees/Clearways almost always hitting the grass but just inch perfect every lap. Nice!

Very nice driving 🤘

Sing us "yellow" (coldplay) .... seriously, great stuff 61!

Looks like a fun little car to race!

Nice driving. I was unsure of what I was seeing but did I detect quite a bit of oversteer on trail braking? It was so smooth that I barely saw any counter steer. Really nice work.

That was some great racing

People can think that he was just lucky winning because of the start, but as the race goes on, you actually realize how good, fast, professional and consistent per lap is. He could have win without that "lucky" start

Nice comeback

Wow... Just wow!

Scott is more brave in real life than I am in a sim!

Great drive. Enjoyed your commentary. What a bugger you couldn't share the podium with Dad this time :-/

Good that you consider luck as part of the result, but it is a small part. Well done.

Clean race mate... gg

Good show,

iracing graphics are getting so good!

These cars look super fun. Light and not much downforce. It might be just the driver :)), but they seem to be relatively easy to drive near the limit.

Nice drive! Is this a vintage Formula Ford class? Those cars all look to be late 70's vintage, and it looks like you're using the older bias ply tires as well instead of the cantilevered tires. I've driven a few FF 1600's in Solo competition and you're 100% correct, they are pure cars that really reward smooth and consistent driving. The kind of driving you put a clinic on for in this video.

great video, can you make the engine sound louder ?

Awesome!

Hi Scott, Great drive there! U know the moment u FFW my heart pumped of fear coz I thought a tyre exploded or sth. I have a question about fitness and stamina. After driving GoKart for a few minutes or driving a car on a track for like 20 minutes I get extremely exhausted (tiredness). Also if I ride with some fast driver I get dizzy. Do u have advice for the two problems?

Great Video.....Ahhh Brands ...classic track... ruined it when they changed Graham hill bend..i raced ff1600 national championship in 93... rookie of the year stepped up into zetecs and got to race with some of the best drivers in the world Jenson Button, Mark Webber, Dan Weldon, Marc Gene, Jason Watt.... were great times... The FF Festival back then had 8 qualifying heats with drivers and top teams from around the world, Van Diemen, Swift, Vector, Mygale and even Burt Ray's Brands Hatch Chassis came out for that Weekend...
