**The TD F1: A Game-Changing Formula 1 Car**

For years, the concept of a "track day car" has been synonymous with high-performance road cars that can deliver an exhilarating driving experience on closed circuits. However, what if I were to tell you that there's a formula one car available for track days, which is not only incredibly fast but also comes with all the mod cons and features you'd expect from a modern F1 car? Meet the TD F1, a bespoke steel item steering rack, unique wheels, and a turbocharged inline-4 engine that produces 600 brake horsepower.

**A Shift in Power**

Out goes the little 2.4-liter Cosworth CA V8 engine that powered the previous generation of formula one cars, replaced by a heavily developed version of the previous Formula 2 motor. This new powerplant is not only quieter but also produces significantly more torque than its predecessor. With an incredible amount of force behind it, the TD F1 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just over three seconds and reach top speeds of over 200 mph on a closed circuit.

**A New Era in Track Days**

The TD F1 is designed to make track days more accessible to enthusiasts who want to experience the thrill of driving a formula one car. With its advanced technology, lightweight construction, and incredible performance capabilities, it's an ideal machine for those who want to push their driving skills to the limit. The car comes with all the mod cons you'd expect from a modern F1 car, including a sophisticated safety system, advanced aerodynamics, and even a boost button that allows drivers to take advantage of the car's incredible power.

**My Experience with the TD F1**

I recently had the privilege of getting behind the wheel of the TD F1 at Spa-Francorchamps, one of the most iconic tracks in the world. As I prepared to take off, my heart was racing with anticipation. The clutch felt a bit sticky, and I could feel the car vibrating beneath me as I gave it a gentle push to get started. However, within seconds, the TD F1 came alive, surging forward with incredible power and precision.

**A Lap to Remember**

As I accelerated down the straight, my mind was focused on getting out of the corners quickly and smoothly. The TD F1 responded eagerly, its advanced aerodynamics and sophisticated suspension system working in harmony to deliver a truly magical driving experience. The lap that followed was a blur of color and sound, with the TD F1's 600 brake horsepower propelling me around the circuit at incredible speeds.

**The Aftermath**

After completing my lap, I pulled over and waited for the team to assist me back into the car. However, things didn't quite go according to plan. The clutch had overheated, and I was forced to dump it and give the car a boot full of revs to get it back on track. Despite the initial drama, I couldn't help but feel a sense of elation as I crossed the finish line and realized that I had just driven a lap around Spa-Francorchamps in one of the most incredible formula one cars available today.

**Conclusion**

The TD F1 is an extraordinary machine that has left me speechless. Its combination of advanced technology, incredible performance capabilities, and sophisticated safety system make it the ultimate track day car for enthusiasts who want to push their driving skills to the limit. Whether you're a seasoned racing driver or just starting out on your driving journey, the TD F1 is an experience you'll never forget.

**The TD F1: A Game-Changer for Track Days**

The TD F1 has revolutionized the concept of track days, offering enthusiasts a chance to drive a formula one car that's both incredibly fast and accessible. With its advanced technology, lightweight construction, and incredible performance capabilities, it's an ideal machine for those who want to experience the thrill of driving a contemporary Formula One car on closed circuits. Whether you're looking to improve your driving skills or simply want to experience the rush of adrenaline that comes with driving a high-performance car, the TD F1 is an unbeatable proposition.

From advanced safety systems to sophisticated aerodynamics, every aspect of the TD F1 has been designed to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

**Building the TD F1: A $1.5 Million Price Tag**

The TD F1 is not an inexpensive proposition, with a price tag of £1.5 million plus local taxes. However, for those who are willing to invest in their driving passion, this car offers an unbeatable value proposition. With its advanced technology, lightweight construction, and incredible performance capabilities, the TD F1 is a true investment piece that will deliver years of driving pleasure.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello and welcome to this Evo film about crazy weekend in late summer now you join us as we cruel along a typically traffic congested belgian motorway and often when I come to this lovely country it tends to be to visit somewhere near the villages of spa Stabilo melt Medi now wonder what's there of course the mighty Spa Franklin Jean so will not eat a spa but things are a bit different this time because well here's an admission I've never driven a single seater racing car it's just never happened just one of those things but I'm on my way now to drive an almost contemporary Formula One car during the Grand Prix weekend so that spa Formula One car all three weekend this is what happened next well here we are welcome to an absolutely glorious morning at Spa arguably the world's most beautiful scenic racing circuit I can't express just how grateful I am that my prayers for it not to rain today have been answered I feel very very very lucky for that well we're about an hour and a half away now from from me getting in the car and yeah you know the nerves are just brewing up nicely Wow as you can imagine there's also a lot of excitement as well one thing that has surprised me and I've no idea why it has is just how many people are here already who are gonna be watching and of course that's been me so many times even here and now I'm gonna be on the other side of the fence and that's just a weird thing just time to focus now on the car and I'm driving it and of course I'm enjoying it too yeah time to go and get ready I think you might recognize this as a 2011 Marussia Virgin Racing MVR Oh - and you'd be right it's actually chassis number one driven by both Timo Glock and jérôme D'Ambrosio during a number of races that season but it's also a TD f1 let me explain the TD f1 is the brainchild of British company tour-de-force who specialized in the restoration running and re-engineering of modern era Formula one cars from eighties turbo monsters to the last of the pre hybrid cars from earlier this decade their customers wanted a more accessible Formula One car not necessarily cheaper to buy but more cost-effective to run one that can realistically exceed 300 kilometers a year and not require a team present to run it the bodywork aerodynamics even the DRS system are all as the original car however throughout it components have been replaced or re-engineered for example the steering rack is now a bespoke steel item instead of carbon fibre chorong a lot less inspection the wheels are still made by a Zed racing but unique to the TD f1 a few grams heavier but much stronger but the biggest change is the engine out goes the little 2.4 liter Cosworth CA v8 and instead there's a turbocharged inline-4 actually a heavily developed version of the previous formula 2 motor it makes 600 brake horsepower around 90 horsepower less than the v8 but it has over twice the torque and the car weighs just 30 kilograms more as much as 3,000 kilometers a year is now achievable and it can be started by just one man it's a complete game-changer you I get away cleanly but almost immediately things start to go wrong it feels like the car is jumping out of gear and error messages begin flashing up alarmingly on the steering wheel I just try and get the car back round to the team now later analyzing the data it'll show that my knee actually brushed the steering wheel-mounted clutch paddle by one maybe two millimeters just enough to confuse the electronics now the box has recovered but it's in a fail-safe mode still I have bigger problems try as I might moving away smoothly with the overheated clutch is now impossible and yes I stole it it's a disaster there's nothing left to do but to go for it dump the clutch and give it a boot full of revs it catches perfectly and from then on everything is simply wonderful my second lap becomes my out lap to warm tires and breaks the third that's a bit quicker and the fourth lap the one you're about to see is my first proper lab oh and apologies about the footage quality the camera mount just couldn't cope with the air pressure over 150 miles an hour and then it also received a direct hit from a chunk of rubber that tilted it backwards frankly it was a miracle we captured anything business-wise so where to start with that so got it round stopped spoke to the guys you all came sprinting across and so I was there but the clutch was hot by then and then I stalled it which was a disaster so at that point I just thought you just got to get a grip now I didn't do this and you're not gonna be able to just move away gently clearly so I kind of just I gave it a lot basically and debit clutch and then we and and that was good and then from then it was just magic it was just absolutely magic from then all of that had just gone I don't know all of that there were no more problems I let the tyres and the brakes come up to temperature on that lap which you could feel they were and in the lap after that I started to it to push a little bit harder and then the lap after that I was really starting to think about how late I could leave the braking use the boost button managed down changing to v 4o Rouge and then lift but still felt really mighty and the same up here as well at long zoom on to top I think lift it was great and then I came I came around the start/finish line and I saw the red lights and I I didn't think I've noticed them but I saw them subconsciously and I thought it can't be it can't be over already but for whatever reason they cut the session short and he got fall out it's not like a nine or whatever it was gonna be so mixed emotions I mean awesome the most unbelievable mind-blowing experience to be honest I think it's gonna take days and days to sink in but also how weird its human nature is so funny you're so worried about it beforehand I get out the car now I'm just really crossed about that first lap how did that happen I want to get straight back in that car and do it to what I feel is the best of my ability the whole thing is switched around so yeah I guess it's just life isn't it I just want another go but but yeah just an unbelievable experience tour de force will initially build 5 TD f1 cars 3 based on Marie she a virgin racing chassis like this one and a further 2 based on sour burrs from the same 2011 season they cost 1.5 million pounds plus local taxes and that includes a full driver training program in the simulator and on track team support events and the chance to drive the car during the Grand Prix weekend like we did just like that it's all over all that pressure or stress anticipation excitement just gone but what an incredible experience and one that I never ever ever imagined that I would
