Machines | First Drive: Ludemann Formula 1000 Race Car! (Extended Cut)
videos | at work | information | view | construction
You're onboard with us as we drive the Ludemann Engineering Formula 1000 race car prototype for the first time! Ride along in a new race car design that has literally never turned a wheel before. Hold your breath for the first brake application, first left turn, first right turn, first upshift, first downshift, first everything! Cheer along with Pit Girl as we check out the brakes, steering, suspension, engine, transmission, electrical system, tires, radiator, oil cooler, mirrors, seat, belts and all the other millions of decisions that went into the design. Five years of work went into getting here.

So inspired by all this work! Were vendors helpful in sending you CAD data for some of their products(i.e. engine mounts, shocks, etc)? I'm interested in building one myself, just wondering if most of the design can be done before any fab is started...
-
this is "bake your cake & eat it… great job sr.
-
Tons of respect for what you have accomplished!!! Just my 2 cents but it would probably be worth it to get a driver in the car who has experience so you can get the feedback necessary to refine the car. Looking forward to more updates!
-
Can I give it a drive to give you a racers feedback? Please reach out to me. I'm experienced in Kart and other forms of racing in the junior series.

pit girl? sexist.

This thing is like a graduate designed FSAE Car!!!

So do you live in Thailand?? wow i really surprise
i didn't know there are any racing league in Thailand -
Why the hell is the clutch being fanned on upshifts?? The driver has not got much experience at all I take it?
-
Congrats Lude. I found u when i start to think to build my own formula car. And i loved what u made. Could u give me your email for some changes ideas ? And, congrats again for your amazing job. Detail: I'm brazilian, and i'm moving to England next Agost/2016, and i'll build this there.

No quick shifter for clutchless up changes ?

I have been following you since almost the beginning of this build. I can appreciate the work that goes behind making a race car, being a part of our school's formula student team myself.
Kudos to you sir. Its impressive how neatly you have fabricated the parts and put it all together. Your blog has helped us at quite a few places through our build :)
Congrats and and all the best for your upcoming events! -
I want a street legal version to do some hill climbs with here in Tennessee
-
Been following your progress for a while now. The casual race fan has NO IDEA how much work it takes to get a race car built and on the track. Now, get it finished, and show us some race footage. ;)
-
Congrats! That is so fantastic! Be proud. Be very proud. Well done!
-
Great car. Congrat's.

Great job ! Can't wait to see it at full throttle trough all the gears (with a decent camera)!
