Your insurance won't cover it if your trailer gets stolen when it's disconnected from your car... Just a heads up

Dont park your trailer without the car attached someone's gonna steal it

Enormous times and enormously high number finishes. 400th place at the least. Larger is better right?! I predict he's going to enjoy this car and life ahead. A meaningful life is a successful life.

Amazing! I'd call that a huge success for a first drive in difficult conditions. Nothing major went wrong with the car and you didn't crash it (just a little spin or two).

When this thing is finished it needs to go to Hoonigan for a Build Biology!

Tough luck on the weather, but you will get there in short time. It's such a joy to see you driving around in it after all the work. Thank you, it's an awesome ride!

Congratulations! Nice job, you put so much work into this, great to see it on track!

Been waiting for this vid for so long its finally on a track

Amazing!!! Inspirational! I look forward to every one of your videos. Can't wait to see your channel grow big!! Can't wait for the next car lol

This project is so absolutely nutty.

yessssss! I have been waiting for this for so long, I'm hyped for you dude. You'll get this car dialed on the track soon (or next season maybe when it warms up), I'm sure of it

The fact the car ran flawlessly the first track day is a HUGE success!

Awesome to see you at this stage! Congratulations 🎉

Wow this is impressive!! Cant wait to see this car going all out. Well done bro

Fantastic video and congrats on getting some track time. Keep us in loop on changes you make to carbon composite layout.

Awesome to see the car on track, shame for the crappy weather. Great work as usual.

Congrats on ur first track day on that build. 🙌🏼

Glad to finally see this get some track time! Slicks on a wet track! Well you built it so at least you'll be able to repair it! 👍

Thanks for showing us how to get track data. It is always fun to watch everyone else's Hooning videos, but it is so much more interesting to learn from all these car videos. Greatly appreciate your videos.

That is absolutely amazing

I am just happy to see the car on the track.just shows that anything is possible. Keep up the good work.

Congrats so far! I am very excited for Laguna Seca, will be amazing

Big balls award for those tyres in the wet!

The E55 ASL looks like an awesome track monster!!! Awesome track day video! Need to get some soft tires for the wet and cold weather.

You just don't know the amount of respect I've got for you, what a build! Regards from Spain!

Congrats. Really looking forward to future updates. In my home race track, Wakefield park in Australia, officials are pretty relaxed. I get to drive like a maniac without getting in trouble...yet.

Thanks for the update mate. I would love to experience the acceleration of your E55ASL. Can't wait to see laguna seca

Hoonigans burn yard!?! Dope, congrats on the track time, this is definitely one of my favorite builds on KZread rn. Stoked to see the leguna seca footy

Motorsport.👌😉 Just can't wait the next video.

No puede ser, tantas complicaciones!! Gracias por compartir!!

There is like 5 days of rain a year at willow.....somehow you managed to get one of those days.....that is so disappointing as I would think that track is made for a car like yours.... very fast flowing and would allow you to really stretch the cars legs out..... good job keeping the car on track... Hope you come back to CA again for more track time....

Congratz man, followed from the beginning and been amazed since episode 1 really nice seeing it all come together

You should be proud of yourself, super talented to build this car from scratch and bring it all the way to Willow Springs, and we appreciate you documenting all of this journey!

I must say that I am very impressed. You know what you are doing. I like your front DWF solution. With a slotted front section, you will be able to extract more DWF, as with such a high AoA, there should be separation there. I like your cooling solutions. You went very aggressive with the front rad, which I absolutely love. Its not only good for aero but it also uses the rad as an effective crash structure. I like the positioning of the intercoolers. Tight, yet effective. The only part which makes me slightly sad is the rear diffuser. You have the space to go much more aggressive without fears of separation. As a stopgap solution to help with high speed oversteer, I would simply cut rectangular sections on the diffuser, and create a rudimentary double diffuser. It won't take too much time but it will drastically increase the pressure delta. Since you have enough power to play with, just "go crazy" at it. Use VGs to attach flow wherever needed. Slot the strakes to minimize tire squirt. You can afford the drag. You went conservative on safety (which is always imperative). The chassis seems to have good stiffness. Overall, It is a beautiful, well thought, well processed project. My sincere compliments!

our boy has spread his wings 😢 so happy to see this project flying

fantastic! huge balls for driving a home build fast!

Way to go, keeping a good attitude and pressing on in the face of frustrations and overprotective corner workers. It looks like it has enough power to keep your adrenaline pumping. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll get there!!

sweet! thats great man! can't wait to see the video at Laguna Seca!

You’re doing good keep up the good work!

this is so awesome and more videos to come:) It looks like you still have lots of travel in the shock and the rod end isn't coming close to binding in the clevis mount so it's all good :)

You'r a great driver! don't let your doubts shrink your balls!!

new subscriber here... love it.... I was looking for something for our KZread channel on our build and ran across your car... love it!!

Wow, unbelievable that your car ran so well on the very first track day

I already waited for it🖐️✌️

Kudos on getting this far man, you're always going get teething problems like this but keep pushing. And you can never control the weather. On the other hand though, wow the surface at Willow Springs looks terrible!

Dude, you definitely inspire me to build my dream car. One day, definitely

This video is the best by far, you let rip on a track after building the thing.

Cant see any mirrors,surprised scrutineering let you on the track,especially in the wet.Good to see it stretching it's legs.Thumbs up.

FINALLY!!! HATS OFF

Outstanding!

to manoeuver a trailer one usually uses a "jockey wheel", which attaches near the hitch - esp. with a 4 wheeler, one needs to lift the 2 front wheels up to be able to turn...

While known as the "fastest road in the west" we only get up to about 230kph at big willow and 250kph at Auto Club Speedway due to lack of significant aero on our track 'stang . Also, i don't understand the black flag, you weren't doing anything wrong. Was there a car closely trailing you while you were stepping it out? We get loose on corners all the time without flags.

Oh my god, that's awesome

Guy builds a car and actually drives it. That's pretty rare these days. Thumb up as always.

This man is pride of Pakistan ❣️❣️

Sweeeeet!!! I've never clicked so fast!

It's obvious you're much smarter than I am, but @ 1:55 I would have stuck that floor jack under the trailer tongue to move it. Congrats! So happy you got some laps in, even if they were wet laps.

You need to go to Chuckwalla out towards the Palm Springs area, weather is much, much nicer there than the high deserts of Willow Springs. Also the track surface at Chuckwalla is much better than both Willow Springs and Buttonwillow.

was eager to see how the beast handles the track..!!(Y)

I wanna see a camera flyby! This is awesome!

Ok i'll just admit it...YOU ARE A GENIUS.. But please next time do not stay in the line of fire of a tensioned tow line. We still need that wonderful brain of yours.

Sweet!!!!

3:55 that Cayman GT4 looks rapid!

Canadians come to California and find it to be too cold lolol If the biggest complaint during your shakedown trackday was the weather, then you did a damn good job.

I'd like to see a set of wheels mounted with a street tire like pilot sports or something. Slicks are a wild ride and, as you've seen, kind of a one trick pony for dry/warm

Beautiful

Hoonigan! Fucking epic journey good luck with it

Too bad about your luck on the trip so far. Considering the issues arising, and the fact this car was built from scratch... I’d say your still doing pretty good! I must say though, for Ontario boys... you both sure sound like prairie boys (the accent that is)!

Finally!!!

Of note, in the wet and the car being so unstable: With that aggressive front splitter (the large cutouts) and no rear wing, the aero bias is forward. (despite having the diffuser). The front tires are the fulcrum, and thus lifts the rear wheels. The wet (and low grip) conditions seemed to highlight this.

Asphalt looks so poor quality! Good job getting some seat time, looking forward to see more!

Bet the cool kids just wanted him off the track because they knew he was about to embarrass them all with his time.

Who are you? What country do you live in? I’m blown away by what you’ve done here. I’m building a drag car now. And I have basically built an all new chassis inside the car. I want to drive it too. After watching all these videos? I’m building one of these next!

Hey, I just noticed you have air filters with metal caps in the center. You should look at what happens to them on a turbo. The glue used gets softer from heat cycles and the turbo will suck the cap off into the impeller killing the turbos.

3:56 I just noticed the trailer hitch adapter from 1 1/4 to 2" That adapter is only to be used for bike racks / rear cargo trays and even then the weight rating needs to be reduced by 50 %. Our guy is getting away with this in the short term only because the towed load is on the lower side. Try this with a regular car on the trailer and the hitch might break off due to fatigue. Also, the extended length is one reason why the rear of the car is sagging.

I cant wait for the burnouts!!!!!!!

THE ONE AND ONLY MERCEDES BEAST

It is so good to see the car on a track finally,. Aside from the fact that rain stopped you from pushing the car did you get the feeling that your design is working as you planned? How do you think it would have been if you had a rear wing as per your drawing of the car?

what is this thankgiving blessing

Very excited to see this on track. Only thing is I think you're definitely running the wrong tires for the conditions.

Love the vids I've been following since you started tracking the actual full bodied. Glad to see its paying off in positive ways. Cant wait too see it dialed in and with it's full areo in place. Any possibility of a full inclosed carbon body or will it always be open cockpit?

How did the safety inspection go? Are they leary of allowing a completely homemade car on the track?

Since it was a trackday, i would say a simple inspection like: 1-good harness anchor point and harness condition itself 2-fixed seat mount/rail bracket 3-no visible oil leak on engine and drivetrain (at some trackday will require you to have a certain minimum capacity of oil catch tank installed) 4- no loose part/panel hanging around that have potential to fly away at speed... And i think thats enough to cover the basi of safety/tech inspection of any vehicle took part in trackday

There is no safety inspection on a WS track day. Self tech.

i think it was the most advanced car build in this year (maybe) . because i haven't see any build which is installing the heat sensor for tires

I think with all those vibration and stuff.. u really need to replace the support cable with some sort of aluminium support rod instead... To eliminate any up-down movement of the splitter.. u will get more predictable downforce as well as less potential of stress crack on the splitter mounting points

yaaasssss

1) We use MPH-Fahrenheit, here... 2) 50 degrees is not that cold. I was there. Maybe wear proper clothing? (I've done 34 deg. (then add wind chill at speed) in an enduro kart race there, a long time ago. That was a little cold.) 3) Don't park your rig in a spot that you can get blocked in. Bring a tongue jack wheel if you plan to. 4) You can actually buy a decent race car now and not waste a bunch of time trying to re-invent the wheel... but I admire your effort! 5) Slicks don't work to well in the rain. Try something with treads when its wet. Just say'in... Good luck!
