How hard is it to keep on track? :-)
People are always intimitaded by that Top Gear video where Richard Hammond miserably fails to go actual race speed with an F1 car and think that driving an F1 car is hard in general.
But I think it's actually kind of like driving any other car (to put it in simple terms) as long as you're not trying to go full race speed, keep your respect and use your brain a little, am I right?
you right, car is easy to drive and it is more stable than FR 2.0 car. Lot's of people without any formula experience can drive at low speed.
90% of mistakes people do when accelerating hard in corners. In formula car you can't apply more than ~30% of throttle until your wheel pointed straight.
another mistake - soft braking. In F1 car you don't feel brake pedal (as pedal) at all. you feel a "wall" and you press your lag into "wall". In FR 2.0 car I can feel brake as pedal. It has some traverse.
Fast corners are really scare. In my video you can find a corner when I turn at 200km/h. I lift gas pedal a bit, but I'm sure it is 100% can be drive flat out.
