FH23 really sounds better, hope they release 24 version with more configurations nice vids bro

Its really interesting seeing that the F4 is basicly the same pace as a GT3, Im glad Im not the only one that noticed 😂 I originally found out about this performance match on Iracing when looking up reference laps :)

Scruffy lap with the 2024 and still was almost a second faster. Did not know 2024 spec cars were supposed to be the fastest formula cars in history 😂

Watched it in full just finished it, another excellent review F-Man!

Yes! Another F-Man review. Gonna be watching this before my sleepy times. I've waited a long time for an updated F4 car as I refuse to pay for iRenting.

Wonderful review. This car has it all

Thats the perfect car to Little Jimmy to fit in right now in about a week he'd be too big.

Wouldn't you love to know (as I definitely would), if a real F1 driver drove the cars in this sim, and then stated which one felt closer to the real car? (do you have an opinion, F'man?)

F'man, I must admit you tickled my fancy with that second "Bonus Heat Haze Outro", starting from the 3:54 mark... Loved It!!! P.S. Quote from your Description "This might put F4 performance into some larger, more generalized perspective."..... it definitely did. ; )))

Model make/brand? Is it Hotwheels?

(BoneYard here). This car is a riot! I love it, I think its their best car? Still rocking a controller but did a 1:51:599 round here yesterday, need to try again with better tire pressures and less fuel but what a car!

Somewhere James May is triggered and he doesn't know why.

I am definitely getting this car now. Full send! 💪

Just got it, did a 1:51.5 after one out lap on vanilla physics and a controller. Aint no Tatuus... but its better than the old RSS 4. You can actually have confidence on turn in now lol

Soooo much more enjoyable to drive at the limit than the old car.

Sorry F'man, but shouldn't SimRacing604 be driving this car instead - I mean - it is more his speed, hahahaha....... (but I guess I'm just lucky I'm retired, as it would still be too much to handle for me ; )))

Comment from 0:55 :- more money for you F'man / well where do I type then (& watch more of these great breakdown videos, of course ; ))) P.S. The F'man causing "Turbulent Flow"................................ NEVER!!! ;P

Tfw an F4 car sounds better than modern F1 lol. Doesn't seem as brainded to drive as the previous RSS F4, is that right?

Is it better than the last F4 that they released? I absolutely love that car n it would be nice to have a worthy successor for it

That engine is fucking epic

your microphone is bad

This happened exactly 23 years ago today and was Discovery's last mission before the Columbia disaster.

Hi, thanks for the review, very nice and thorough as always. I do agree that it's a little much, but given that RSS is probably going to make a simpler, yet very nice feeling mod, having an alternative in the form of the very complex VRC car is a great thing in my eyes. I also wanted to touch on at least one of the points you made not directly related to the car itself. At 11:30 you said that Halo is ineffective, since most of the crashes happened because of the drivers knowing it was there to protect them. I agree, to a point. You could make the same argument about any safety feature on a race car. I remember Sir Jackie Stewart (not sure it was him though) said in one interview how drivers back in his day really respected each other on the track, because they knew the consequences and therefore didn't risk so much when racing. Yet safety in motorsport has been improving year by year since. Why? Because not every crash is due to some driver doing a stupid, risky move. Accidents by their nature are unpredictable and sure, drivers would be much more cautious if they were racing in bathtubs on wheels, however arguing that an increase in safety leads to more accidents therefore increasing safety is undesirable is nonsense, because that line of thought does not take into account the severity of these accidents. Even though an increase of safety causes more accidents, it simultaneously decreases the probability of each of them to cause injuries or fatalities.

I'd rather have as realistic F1 mod as possible than a more generic one, as long as physics and FFB are perfect. The only problem is, I now need to buy the Mercedes F1 wheel to properly map everything 😂

The time has come and so have it. Another F-Man review of a virtual car. Time to get the beer. I dislike how complex this mod is and how they never fixed the tyres of the 2022 Formula Alpha or previous cars. I think it's pretty fun overall but I wonder how much I'm shooting myself in the foot for not tweak things while driving. Sometimes the behaviour is weird so I dunno how much is lack of talent and how much is not tweaking adjustments for the specific corner.

I think this is the coolest car in AC. The detail and complexity make it seem more realistic than any other mod. I make indivual car specific controls for almost every car. I also have a GSI Hyper SL. So all the mappings work AWESOME! I would recommend you might try the non-csp version, sounds like that might suit you better? I enjoy your videos, thanks for the review.

Seems a little bit biased, almost agenda pushing, but impressive length of the review nonetheless!

As someone who's actually a fan of this car (and has preferred VRC FA23 over RSS FH23), I can understand why it's too much. However that's what F1 cars are nowadays, just a multitude of systems on 4 wheels, so for it to be simulated and be adjustable to anyone's style is appreciated. Also at this point in AC's lifespan, CSP is basically a necessity now so I don't see why FA24 shouldn't take advantage of it. (Even independent/solo modders who do road cars etc. even use them for visuals and physics). FH24 will most likely be for those that want a more "plug and play" experience, and that's totally ok in my book. Not everyone is willing nor interested in the time and effort to get all nitty gritty, but that's what GTs and older race cars are for. For me, as someone who can deal and is used to the faff of complicated mods in a multitude of sims, I honestly dont mind the heavy and complicated CSP integrations. (Or I'm just a masochistic nerd, who knows 😂) I appreciate the POV of this review and the honesty of how some things are not for everyone.

I think this car shows why RSS moved away from formula hybrid. They got what they felt was as realistic as anyone even us nerds could want without going overboard. Instead they are now branching out and doing more diverse and imo interesting projects than another modern formula car. Have to respect the craftsmanship but doesn’t mean I enjoy it anymore then say FH21. There’s a reason it takes a whole engineering team to set these things up irl, and not a guy in a sim rig.

i saw the start of it last year, but they went even further this year. vrc seems to have forgotten that assetto corsa is a GAME. all of these settings they're adding are just fluff that dont really add anything to the experience.

FH24 for President 😂

How do you even drive with that amount of ffb clipping ?

I don't like current cars but i love these reviews!. Great job Bill

Wow, one thing that stood out to me are the sounds. At racing speed they are alright, but the sounds at low RPM are fantastic, really nicely done. Love the bottoming out audio cue.

I was missing you´re long and absolutely great reviews! BUT, I totally respected you´re reasons not to, so I never Insisted. Thank you F-Man!

I'm actually totally in love with this thing and the features. Gonna go get an autism test tomorrow.

they really nailed the downshift sounds, the team that did the audio should be proud

I’m at work now, but I had to jump online to leave a note of appreciation for this video, F-Man! I will absolutely dedicate 98 minutes to this video later tonight. Love this type of content from you.

Oooh another long review video, i am here for it 100% as I've always been! Bring it on. Hope all is well btw, been awhile since we've last properly spoke lol.

Third times a charm? Nope not fecking likely.

poleeeeee. hope ur doing well Fman

Could be quicker but 100% quicker than Checo.

Has a challenger entered the arena to give RSS a run for their money?? Looks like it!

You just made Andy happy and put yourself in the hunt for the McLindy seat.

Geez, that looks like a lot of fun, F'man ; )))

FH23 for me

It was quick sure, but you might be just lucky I've retired. F'man. As I still think I could take you in my Abarth 500....... maybe. ;P

Review when? 👀

one goes vroom the other crushes your face like Clarkson in the Ariel Atom

The *Real* Miami Sound Machine.
