Also I finally know what my other 11th team in Codies F1 will have as their top driver.

I don’t suppose anyone livestreams any of these lower level events? I’ve always been curious feeder formulas and am really missing live raci ng . Even just someone’s dad in the stands on periscope would be better than nothing at this point.

Outside of national broadcasts, I’m afraid there aren’t any unless you go to r/MotorsportsSte rams. That said, if Noda-chan bags a couple of headline-making wins, people will follow her journey.

Do they ballast cars for driver's weight variances? Cause she's got a whole person advantage on everyone else.

I suppose that’s standard practice, though I reckon one does not simply close a 0.4s pace just by adding more weight. Yeah, she’ s bound to be nerfed somewhat.

You’ll definite hear about if if she gets to be on the podium, or even win.

I just read the tech and sporting regs. Tech regs say min weight of car 550kg. Min weight car+driver is 625. They have specific ballast locations. That’s likely 75kg for this driver (165lbs) so she has 75 pounds of ballast attached low and on the floor. Heaven forbid anyone has to race against that with their 170 pounds of high cg upper body torso.

You are basically lying on your back in a Formula car, there isn’t a huge difference between 75kg laying in the seat and 75kg strapped to the floor.

8 inches though is the difference between floor and driver mass x75 pounds is a moment of 600. All weights being equal, there is a slight advantage here and there over a field so theyve made things as equal as possible. She will have a lower CG than everyone else. Minor, but effective.

Anyway, h ere is hoping she can post up some wins!! Becasue regardless of weight bias, talent will reign supreme in a spec series like this.

There’s still a need to temper expectations, but between the win and fastest lap, I reckon Noda has what it takes to move further. That depends still on whether she can ace ever F4 round she enters. Now THAT, I reckon, will be newsworthy.

We’ll still have to wait and see if she can keep this going and take the Danish F4 trophy, because I reckon that’s the bigger deal. But it does seem like she has the power to do just that.

Hopefully she has a solid junior career, it’s still a long road ahead. Good start, though!

True. Also, I’m pretty sure her future is being smartly expected. Why the Danish f4 and not england, Italian, etc....

Could be al depth of talent andnot very technical tracks. Or, maybe it’s the opposite and the t oughest f4 series.

She and her family and sponsor know eyes are on her. Let's all watch!
