Just, oh woooooow!
Oh man, this is a legendary podcast!! And Misha said it best - expensive cars WILL avoid s*tboxes at all costs! And P.S. BMW drivers can communicate with "indicators"?? Hahaha
Portimão 🎉🎉🎉
I stopped watching F1 after the Senna Mansel era as its just become soo yawn.. But guys like Jody were bloody hard men. 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁. PS.. Brilliant interview.... 🏁🏁🏁
Hehehe - I was a toddler when my mom taught Jody extra Afrikaans lessons in East London in our dining room ... must've been early to mid sixties. I seem to remember him driving a 50cc motorbike at the time but I may be mistaken - he could confirm. Selborne College boy.
why music ?
Wonderful interview! Always loved that Ferrari with that unique splitter I guess you'd call it across the front. Ironic that it was Ferrari that killed off the 6 wheeler by buying up all the tyres. Never one to play by the rules unless they really had to.
Wasnt ben collins the stig?
Jody should have a supercharged Renault R8 Gordini in his collection!
Omg Ben please be quiet. Much rather listen to that v10 than you
That's not an F1 car, that's a goddamn 500hp superkart on six wheels! It's TINY!
Your pod casts is so interesting the guests and the chat, but the sound is terrible mat sounds like he is talking through a vintage distortion pedal at times. And their is lots of amature scratching noises in all of them, so each time you interview someone you want to mention some microphone techniques. In locations on site like this video are you not using a boom mic?? You sound man needs firing. Any way can I swap sound engineering sessions for a day of racing sessions please? Or just give me a job 😁 🙈
As a transformers fan i can only really think of this car in yellow because of dragstrip.
Such irritating music in the background when we should have been listening to that engine!!!
On Jody's very last F1 Drive at Watkins Glen in 1980, I worked-up the courage to follow him up the steps to his motorhome before he entered, congratulated him on a fabulous career and got his autograph as a "reward". Still have that treasued autograph to this very day. Cheers!
I love this car
For a car with six wheels, that car looks tiny compared to the F1 cars from the 1990's beside it. This really surprised me. Looks amazing tho :)
I am very disappointed that his suit is not white anymore
Great driving guys ❤❤❤. Awesome content. Love you both
Then the next year at Le Mans all these cars got 200 kg added ballast and the Mazda didn’t hmmmm jag got robbed
Things an animal, wonder what be like on a straighter track, or less turns, get the power down, bet its frightening lol ❤❤
I'm old enough to remember Jody racing in the 70s & back then F1 was a totally different beast to modern F1. When they went out to race, there was a high chance they wouldn't be alive by the end of the race. It's hard to imagine that sort of danger in sport today.
Waste of a nice robin
Loved this !
when F1 still had a soul...
This kinda proves the pirelli advert.... "Power is nothing without control"
In 2010 I went off on some oil and according to the track officials took out 5 lengths of Armco and 2 uprights, I couldn't get my car off track property until I paid 1,500 Euros and suddenly it didn't seem so bad to get my car back.
Contest between hubris and the laws of physics and the latter always wins in the end!
This is my Number 1 DRIVERS VID What a Privilege to see 2 Professional Very Fast Humble
Talented Reserved STARS
I was surprised when you asked him how he adapts to taking fast corners in such different cars? You did that on TG for years in hatch backs and supercars at the follow through.
As what people don’t realize: it’s a single lane overland road on Tourist drive days. That means there is a 100 km/h speed limit!
tuk tuk looks fun. almost motivational to get my own one going...
🎉600th comment 🎉
How a great oppotunity to watch video such this car! I'm surprised and happy to see she is ready to race. Lola cars did great job^^
Everything was better in the 90s What a car Thanks for the vid
I don’t care about money except for ONE thing : cars
Wondefull car
Hi Ben, you may remember me from the HKS Mitsubishi F3 days. I worked on the Nissan at the time and, though it makes for a good story, the issue around wastegates seems to have been embellished over time. They weren't stuck shut, as has become the narrative, but just slightly over-boost target. Seeing about 2 bar whereas the target was nearer 1.8 bar. Not that great a difference and in reality actually probably cost a bit of power due to additional retard at higher boost, rather than just keeping on making lots of uncontrolled power. In short, the performance was entirely as expected, although in fact slightly reduced. The real issue was, were the safety systems robust enough to allow that extra boost over the target without destroying the engine, which it turned out they were. Nissan representatives were obviously very concerned about that and the issues behind the scenes were us being allowed to complete the lap, with the danger that the engine may not survive it, an argument we managed to win at the time, thankfully! Regarding the 3:30 from the first session, that was done on 7 cylinders as a coil failed on the out-lap, so that lap was in some ways even more impressive, given the loss of power. I don't want to make light of the lap itself, which was unreal and it shouldn't be underestimated the incredible lap that Mark did. The realities of the engine were somewhat less remarkable. We fully knew what sort of power it had, and it wasn't a mistake by any stretch of the imagination. Just to put the record straight after 34 years.
Andy Willman is probably one of the best tv show producers of all time, respect sir 🙏 p.s. one question,did you really had it written in script that tesla car was gonna break down even before the car arrived?
Wow, that Archie guy is such a moron. Wtf, he has such an opportunity to show the very history he alleges to be proud of, and he missed. Jesus christ. I would have liked to know those special cars and their story...
Sad to see these ending up in the hands of some third-world government-connected rich gangster as will surely happen. Selling our history.
When a guy that good struggles you know its not right perhaps a bigger dryer track i dont know
He’s so humble. He talks about racing f1 as if he was bagging groceries or something lol. Amazing gentleman
This guy is driving slow
Love it
I still have my brother's hot wheels car of this car.
2 mad man's on 3 wheeler just fun 😅😅 and atom what is point on that power if the owner can't do donnot just scrap it if scared doing it or get proper one to do haha 🤣 let the old stig burn tires 😅dont cry if you let him to drive
How did driving the Bentley compare to the Aston Martin 1.5 litre? Similar era, but very different approaches. I would love to hear your thoughts.
Cheer up abit you seem so miserable
Tuk-tuk? No. More like. Fuk-fuk!
