Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Now sporting military green livery, the Scribante GTR gained notoriety around the world, especially for its wild aero set up.
The car and driver have been successful at the annual Simola Hillclimb three times now, taking a dramatic win the Super Saloon class at the 2023 event held recently in Knysna, South Africa.
An absolute crowd pleaser, we spend time with the Scribante team and take a deep dive into what makes this machine so special.

Awesome to see Kobus(looks like Kobus) is still following his passion for building cars! I've known Kobus from Primary School, and he was passionate since then, building and racing gokarts and moving from there to bigger cars, and now these insane cars!! Well done Kobus!!
I don't think this is weird at all, literally looks like an extremely normal pikes peak car 😂
We just Need ANC out so we can continue to to build this beautiful country we need to work together to enjoy everything that is South African

This GTR screams aerodynamic. Nice. Can't wait to buy a GTR one day.
Ive always loved this car. That wing is brilliant. Now they have improved it so much. Its ACE!!
😳 I thought this was overkill, but these guy says it works!!! They have been in this game for loooooong, so obviously they know what they are doing!!! Takes a lot of time and money to make it work right!! Badass!!!
3:46 He said “honeycomb” valve springs, did he mean ‘beehive’ valve springs? If not I got this crazy idea in my head what ‘honeycomb’ valve springs would look like. I really like the hubcaps.
I would love to see this at pikes peak or some time attack events 🤘🔥
Awesome that this is built here, must have been a huge budget!
Well done guys!!

2:09 I thought this was an RC Car on the Thumbnail! 😂👌
U can see clearly the difference in stability… car don’t bounce anymore. Great work
As Despatch n kar was! But I approve! Crazy engineering!
Interesting comments, 1) Pikes Peak is a different course, 2) the Goodwood record is unlikely to be beaten without a very special vehicle.
I'm really curious to see what this car has got in Tsukuba circuit
One of the most amazing cars ever created
it reminds me of Chris Rado's Scion TC with that front aero
Saw that gtr in a tiktok, that thing is insane
Could you guys reach out to Toyota SA and ask them if they're considering the Tundra pro TDR for the local market since it's being confirmed for Australia which is also a Right Hand drive market.?
Y’all should be real proud of building such a wicked car. ✊🏾. Badasss!!!
I love when the sound of the turbo is higher than the engine
May not like it but that’s what peak performance looks like.
Till those break lights are there it's GTR
Crazy. If new McMurtry was competing it would smash the record's aswell as not having huge oversized wings front and back. Gets more downforce standing still. All sic cars but fella's. I could never build but would love to drive. Avagud1
5:57 ieh, dju areh poronawnzinin wrright
front wing reminds me of world racings scion tc
That was some careful driving. But the hardware was really good and carried the day! There was nothing that other GTR could've done to win.

Pretty much all standard cars look rediculous,add some of your own flavour and people get jelous and they don't even know why. Sick car man.
Really enjoy the "low tech" aero approach.
Sebastian Loeb, hold my beers
also, as someone that grew up in za, I sort of like the engineer being uncomfortable explaining stuff, I knew people like him when I was young.
Wow
39 secs. Cool.
The car won the King of the Hill shootout, it didn't win it's actual race class. Reghard Roets won the class in this BB Motorsport GT-R with a 40.565 second run. This car placed 2nd with a 42.214 second run in the class standings. In the KotH shootout this car clocked 39.877, which was faster than the class finals. The BB Motorsport GT-R set a time of 38.045 seconds in Quali 3, making it the fastest car of its kind up the hill on the weekend, and ever. Without the aero.

Chris I always loved your work but please bud report the facts right . Franco scribante racing is the ultimate official record holders with a 38.10 in 2022 . Whatever u do in Qauli runs does not count for shit . The scribante team had issues on Saturday, but dont forget they posted a 38.7 on sunday (unofficial) in a qauli run . The class final doesn't mean anything to them, so they boosted the car low to see what the road can take . The king of the Hill is the deciding race that separates the men . As much as we love Regard and Bb motorsport, they could not handle the pressure and made the mistakes same as scribante did in 2021 . FYI, the wing is there to stay . Be sure the scribante car will break the records again . Those guys are professionals at their game . Keep up the good work

The qualifications rounds are only timed so it can get u into the final run of your class and the final top ten of the king of the Hill shoot-out. Only in the class final and Koh shoot-out your time would be stated as a record. This is what makes this event so special and keeps the people on the edge of their seats . In 2019, scribante did a 38.5 in the qauli runs, but only his last run of Koh was recorded as a record, although it was a 39 .1 and almost dark Apologies if I came across rude . Was definitely a dog fight till the end, and the respect between Franco scribante racing and Bb motorsport is huge. Incl the 2 drivers #Respect
What would be the benefit of using this over say a GT3 race car with a bit more power ?

Do you have unlimited rules on the aerodynamics. With your large wings, why don’t you connect it to the lower wishbone suspension. Is it against the rules like in F1 when it was banned in 1960’s.

"Wildy modifed" is a different car with the shape of the GTR hahah. It is massive tho. I wish I could see this compared in actual price in development with and F1 and see and f1 climb the hill. I know it is not fair since the F1 is ment to be run in 1 atm but maybe a bit of mod there and see if it generates more down force than this car in this race and if that benefits it somehow or not enough

I think it needs more wings... 😏

It's a bit much to say it looks ridiculous, Hill Climb cars have had front wings for decades!
Would be great to see it run at WTAC
One pothole and it's over
they can laugh at it in the pit lane, but who's laughin from the podium?
