FIRST TIME Driving the FIA F4 in the Battle of the Little Wings at Summit Point Raceway

Welcome back to Gaps Exist! This time it's the first time driving the FIA F4 car in iRacing, and in the Battle of the Little Wings multi class race at Summit Point Raceway in the 13th week of Season 3 of 2025.

Needless to say, mistakes from a lack of driving the car before, technical issues with my Conspit 290 GP wheel, and general chaos ensued. Enjoy!

00:00 Intro
00:06 Practice (all three quarters of a lap of it)
01:10 Ok, that line flat doesn't work....
01:45 Qualifying, and attempting a tip I read about to weave to warm tyres up while also max reving in low gears with brake depressed to try and burn fuel to lighten car for qualifying lap.....not that it made any difference!
04:00 Qualifying lap going well, but my Conspit 290 GP fails due to the 4 pin Hirose connector Conspit use popping out mid-session so a real life pit stop needed! Not acceptable Conspit!
06:52 Not learned from the Practice and make the same mistake, costing me a decent qualifying lap on the second run, probably due to an element of over-driving to make up for the wheel failure in the first lap
07:36 Gridding up for the race
09:06 Green! Green! Green!
09:20 T1 chaos incoming
10:35 Incident #1 for this Red Bull livery Formula Super Light ahead
11:51 Incicdent #2 for the same Red Bull livery Formula Super Light ahead
15:02 The incident ahead that ruined my race and off to the pits I go
15:30 It's the pits....for a whole 2.5 and time to analyse the incident to see what I could have learned and avoided
18:10 The car that cause my incident and pit stop laps me....that feels fair!
24:42 Inadvertent consequences of painting liveries for iRacing (link to Trading Paints below) is when you spot someone using one of them in your mirrors it distracts you from driving!
25:05 That's someone using one of my Super Formula Lights liveries overtaking me!
25:23 Checkered flag and P4 in class, P9 overall, up from P19 on the grid after a disastrous qualifying
25:35 Bonus idiot trying to do donuts on track after the checkered flag!
25:44 Outro
