Formula Ford Drive Day

WOW, that was unbelievable.
The seat is just 5 cm above the track. The whole car is vibrating when you start the engine and you feel the RPM when you accelerate.
My car had 1600ccm, 115PS, 410kg, vmax 220km/h, accelerator, brake, clutch and a right hand 4 speed gear shift, 0-100: 3.7 seconds.
It's enough power to drive a whole round with the 3rd gear. Few rounds later I also used the 4th gear on the long straight. I also tried to use the 2nd. But I lost more time to shift than to accelerate with the 3rd.


i love it !
