No matter how many times NASCAR shows up and performs at these events, European commentators continue to be surprised
I can assure you that we don't think they're the same as the 80's trucks (or nascar in general)... however, we do know they aren't the most sophisticated machines, after all... do they use fully independent suspension and injection? As far as I know... no, they don't. Does that really matter? No.
What most of the europeans don't know however is that they're still incredible machines, amazing to watch and listen and that they can actually turn right very well. Actually, first time I saw them turn right (first road race i saw with them) I loved it and asked to myself "Why don't they do more road races"? :)
Actually, Cup cars have used Mclaren Electronic Fuel Injection systems since 2012. NASCAR's other divisions (Xfinity and Trucks) are not allowed the use of EFI. Although, you are right about not running fully independent suspension. NASCAR mandates that teams may only use solid rear axils. (which if you ever get the chance to drive one makes it a lot more interesting, lol) We aren't allowed the use of Data Acquisition either, so any setup changes made are based off the drivers feel for the car. We also don't have driver assists of any kind (ABS, TCS, ESC). Hell, we don't even have speedometers or Fuel gauges. As I said before it's all about driver feel and a hope that your crew chief is good at math, so you know when your fuels gonna run out. lol
I think a lot of European and some American divisions lack this aspect. while I know many of those divisions also mandate fewer driver assists. I feel like many of the Formula drivers have lost or just never gained the ability to really feel the car for what it is. Just about every Formula driver to try his hand in NASCAR has struggled except Mario Andretti but he was just good at everything on four wheels. haha
well...all of the above should be more welcomed in racing instead of all the assists and "technology development".
Racing should be racing, visceral and tough :)
They're tube frame, solid axle, extremely heavy, and low downforce bricks with tires less than half as grippy as the ones on most of the other cars going up the hill and literally no brakes. I can't say I blame 'em to be honest!
These things are badass, but they aren't LMP1 cars. That's for sure.
And these Americans still think there the most advanced race drivers stuck in an oval 🤔 so advanced and Sophisticated 💯
I used to make fun of NASCAR back in the day but in 1995 I got free tickets to Talladega and decided, 'Why not'. I've now been over a dozen times and absolutely love everything about going to a NASCAR race. There is nothing else in the world like it.
Just proves NASCAR race cars are legit.
and yet they stick them on 8th mile oval or a big oval and proceed to put everyone to sleep...we have roads here in america, lets have them do this
...and the also stick them on road courses, but let's just pretend that they don't...
Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen, are road courses. They're the only two non oval tracks on the calender.
BTW A Super Speedway is an Oval course with a minimum size of 2 miles a lap.
fooster101 the trucks and bush series run Canadian tire and road America.
Rezera That’s not good enough. At least Hal of the schedule needs to be road courses.
$250,000 front engine Pickup truck with only 2wd, and no turbos finishes 3rd behind a million dollar hybrid sportscar and a purpose built turbocharged awd hillclimb special...Not bad.
*****
None of the cars in top tier of the shootout were/are "stock". Unless you are counting a $1.3 million dollar car that they only made 5 of. That "purpose built truck" weighs 3400 lbs without the driver, only rwd, and probably rides on the narrowest rubber of any of the top 10 cars on the hill. It's running a pushrod V-8 with a carburetor on top, all packaged inside a pickup truck shell with all the "aero" of a well worn brick. For it to finish 3rd behind a 990bhp hybrid awd prototype and a winged awd "time attack" special was pretty impressive IMO.
more than impressive. and its a generation old nascar too. i used to be a 100% nascar hater till i went to a race.
not to mention they dont make much aero downforce at all below 150mph. 2016 sprint cup cars got downforce reduction by 1000lbs (at oval speed)
all mechanical grip in this run.
the P1 LM is not awd. still an incredible run though
+I Am Sekou the McLaren P1 LM is a $1mn+ hypercar and the Impreza was a purpose built hillclimb racecar. your argument is invalid.
Grand Tour sent me here. Was not disappointed.
If anyone was going to replace The Stig I'm glad it's him.
I think it's time that we show NASCAR the respect that it deserves. :) This proves that you don't need fancy technology to be fast.
preach!
Whoda thunk it - a NASCAR truck cuts a seriously hot time at the FoS hill climb. One more reason not to take ANYTHING for granted at the Festival of Speed ... and one more reason to love it!
paduaowned all those trucks weigh 3400lbs without the driver
paduaowned en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASCAR_Camping_World_Truck_Series
paduaowned how is it waste? It just proves their skills at controlling a monster like this, and its more of a waste to not run all the safety equipment
paduaowned another thing i forgot is that nascar is mostly analog except for the ignition timing, with a solid axle in the rear, it's basically the opposite of f1. Plus nascar has extremely strict homologation rules
paduaowned they dont make much downforce below 150mph, and if im not mistaken they run on 255 tires so not that big (only 40mm wider than my 13 dodge dart) and i looke they have no choice the car must weigh in at 3400lbs minimum without fuel and driver
Anyone else notice the gun rack sticker in the back window, clearly Mike has a since of humor.
😂😂😂😂😂 Funny shit
what's the joke here?
Noice.
@@shortcat Redneck with pickup truck in america always carrying gun or shotgun hanging at the backshield
4 years later and I still can't forget this run. Absolute madman. Testicles as big as a planet.
Crazy through the flint wall
Yep, looks like the guy can drive a BMW M2 around the Eboladrome any day of the week... ;-)
I came here for the same reason.
It's funny how many butts are hurt because this guy makes fun of european cars... I love it. And yeah, the guy can drive like a mad man :D
dre04mach I think that character they pushed on him was unfortunate. He seems like a pretty down to earth guy they should have let him be him self
@@Hole_Motorsports Yeah...and it made no sense to people from the U.S. He's from Northern California. Now while that area might not quite be SoCal or Sacremento in terms of attitude, his character didn't fit his most-likely upbringing (even understanding it was a caricature).
Starting to watch NASCAR this year has been one of my best decisions ever !
"NASCAR drivers can only turn left" Hmmmmm.
Skinner's Modified Nascar Truck:
-700hp (or more) V8 engine
-More Aerodynamic
-Planet Sized Balls
I'm an Australian and I just love Nascar.
Nice drive, he really pushed that thing.
this lap was nutsss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i replayed that moment arround the wall like 10 times. Skinner is madmannn
Man that truck is moving
show the world we can turn right too!!!!
Gangsta as fuck. Takes a badass to drive a Nascar truck like that up the hill. Hate all you want, this man is legend.
Oversteer? Who ever heard of that? NASCAR drivers are used to slippin' and sliddin'
And gettin' loose!
Its what tight and loose mean genius
Loose is fast and on the edge of out of control
@@jonmeray713 He means that oversteer is basically second nature to NASCAR drivers genius
it is too all racers even drivers
Given how often Mike Skinner attends the Goodwood Festival of Speed, so far as I'm concerned, he's always welcome to cross the pond to wow the crowds here :)
Absolutely superb.
This was a truck from 2016, now imagine a Next Gen Cup Car. I'd like to see that.
America, where v8 powered trucks beat million dollar hypercars
Beast, although I am not too entirely surprised by it. For one, the tires are some of the hardest-wearing in racing, and with a baseline low-drag package it's got enough speed to recover lost time. Sure, it's quite crude, with a relatively old-timey V8 that makes more power than the rear tires can handle, with a chassis design that's as old as dirt, and has next to no downforce whatsoever, but the truck does have its merits, and it showed here. The driver, too, is also dazzling, able to keep at it from start to finish, averting calamitous brushes with enough Man Force to KO a hippo. Brilliant stuff all around.
Besides, it's not like you lose value with the 250k you plunk for a CW Truck. NASCAR's calendar is much bigger than GT ones, and has a few thousand more fans.
not to mention the brakes. id say gt3 spec race brakes are likely stronger and dont have to stop the 3500 lbs that this truck weighs.
Mike Skinner was a badass in NASCAR, he just made the wrong career moves at the top level that kept him from truly excelling. The brakes are not as efficient as a GT3 car but it's geared for top speed.
yea yea, we get it, you are too prudent to admit its cool.
c9j9RT There certainly are a few older chassis trucks and cars still on track, ever heard of freak? That truck had a LONG run and still looking to get brought back into racing
People talk shit about nascar till this type of stuff happens lmao
Man pretty much gained an entire section on that chicane. Balls of steel
Euros trash Nascar all the time... Until they see and hear a Nascar in person... Then they secretly get a chill down their spine and like it... But would never admit it...
Yup
Yes sir! Nascar boys gettin it done.
and that my European friends is the sound of good ol' fashion torque
thats what happens when you enter a car that doesnt adhere to the rules of your own series. its like entering a 919 evo to represent lmp1
Nothing more American than going to a British race and ending up P3 in a NASCAR truck
And to think this man has started in nearly 300 cup races with no wins to his name in the series, but that doesn't mean he was bad he still has a good amount of top 5s and 10s finishes
I feel like you came from the SlapShoes video
When you have 30 of those roar pass it’s an experience
"commitment" lol we have another word for that
Very impressive :)
That last sector, incredible comeback. An entire second, made up?!!
7 years later , this gives me chills 😮
Whenever I hear an F1 Elitist say nascar drivers have no talent, i show them this.
That thing was more squirrely than an actual squirrel. Bang on job keep it under control.
The American- bringing the balls to the party.
There's just something so awesome about a pickup truck flying up the hill...
I think this is the Grand tour test driver for a season
Correct
Close to Fia-Fences in Goodwood! 😆
Could you please upload the whole shootout?

Fade away
I guess Mike Skinner’s Truck Series championship paid off, huh?
The Gunslinger 💪
Who were the 3 negative votes? Come on! Not t just anyone can drive that beast like that.
Well, there is one moron by the name of "idontcare80". He seems to care since he keeps spouting nonsense in the comments.
A man who thinks hillclimbs are basically communist.
First, I LOVE MY MINIVAN! Second THAT WAS THE MOST EXCITING NSACAR EVENT I'VE SEEN IN YEARS! Which, IMHO, isn't very exciting these days.
@@fartsoundeffect5013 your response is bullshit so I don’t care.
Just watched Rod Millen Tacoma doing a 43sec with a Turbo 4cyl. and needed something to compare to.
The Gun Slinger!
be one with the truck
My goodness
America.
+idontcare80 That truck isn't built for tight maneuvering, and another car beat it? Oh well. Did the other car have an American engine in it?
The P1 has a higher straight line top speed as well. Why on Earth would anyone want to use an American engine in anything?
It took a P1 McLaren to beat a front engine pickup truck? Doesn't the McLaren use a bmw V8 which is originally a Ford design?
Ricky Foley It's not actually a truck, it's basically the same as the NASCAR cars, just with a different look, and it is a full blown race car. And, no, BMW never used a Ford engine, and McLaren never used a Ford engine. The only BMW engine McLaren ever used was in the F1, that was a V12, and it was never based on anything American.
You might be thinking of Koenigsegg, who briefly used a Ford engine but later designed their own engine that was significantly different from, and better than, the Ford V8 they used.
+idontcare80 That's right about the Koenigsegg. This truck is a full racecar and it does share the same 850hp motor, but the chassis is different. All i'm saying is, there's no replacement for displacement. At the least, having full torque at 2000 rpm is a nice feeling and advantage. Lately, turbos on v8s have been pretty popular in the states.
He also did this at 59 years old!
I still preferred that cool grandpa in his Ferrari P3 from 60'
Because we didn't have enough reasons to run a NASCAR race in Europe.
C'mon, NASCAR. Bring the Xfinity Series cars to Rockingham in England or something.
nascar legit needs a race in europe at like hockenheim or silverstone or something over there since nascar has had races in japan and australia already
will never happen till they win their fans back, And have repeatedly said they wont go back to mexico or japan. They had to bride their way into mexico, and the japanese government held the cars at customs till last minute.
@@BigCheeseIsReal doesn't Australia have a NASCAR series? Europe does.
@@rssvss I don't believe so
@@BigCheeseIsReal nope Australia just has super cars, sorry my bad.
could hve sworn they were starting one a few tears ago.
I wanna see a Nascar division of these kinds of trucks racing, do they broadcast that?
yep, usually friday nights on FOX Sports 1
Cajones grandes
Wondering who else noticed that this beast had two aircraft sponsorship: Cessna and Beechcraft
Only sorta, they're both owned by Textron Aviation.
Seymouurrr
"Joe dirt meets the queen"
I want one for reasons
I feel like Mike Skinner is the Ken Block of NASCAR....
There are three main divisions in Nascar. The trucks where Skinner is in are basically like f3 with the top being the cup
Met Mike in 1996 before he broke his ankle in the Chicagoland wreck. Should have drove closer to the wall
instead of following the Earnhardt, Wallace, Mark Martin line.
Mike skinner go back to the grand tour lol
I didn't notice, but did they use the same Goodyear eagles here that they do on a speedway? I imagine without rules limiting what tires they can run it would be much, much faster
I would think that they run goodyear's nascar specific road course tires
Way to go gunslinger 👍🇺🇸
I love how people talk shit about Nascar none of you have the balls to go 200mph 3 wide bumper
Where's the hill?
and that's one of the slower classes in NASCAR. the cars are faster with more HP
Mike Skinner must have balls the size of watermelons and made of solid titanium. Unbelievable.
As long as I don’t have to hear him talk...
don't hillclimbs have corners? or hills?
Is it weird that its making right turns?
I guess with no Nascar tech rules he can put as much downforce in it, and run a 900hp cup engine
Skinner can get under 49 if he can fix the handling on dat truck lol
Not to mention that the Camping World trucks weren't particularly designed with taking quick turns in succession in mind. Add the RWD and roughly 850 HP going through said rear wheels and the fact that Skinner's spoiler on this truck is roughly 5 times larger than the average CWTS truck says it all. His handling of the beast is unbelievable, though. Shows how comfortable he has gotten with the climb the past few years.
A NASCAR vehicle that handles? Yeah, ok then!
I disagree. Skinner has done goodwood the past few years and absolutely loves the hillclimb and makes sure his truck is set up just for this. Let me put it this way, he ran about the same time last year and was around tenth. That was also in better conditions. The rain was on and off this year.
+idontcare80 are you just the salty type who hates any and all things nascar? That's the vibe I'm getting from you. The fact that the thing doesn't handle should make it all the more impressive that Skinner contended with a purpose built hill climber and an AWD hyper car all while weighing more than both and having to put all the power through two wheels. It's literally impossible to deny how impressive his run is all things considered
What's impressive is that a car that conforms to modern emissions and safety standards beats this pure race car while running on road tires.
And, yes, NASCAR is pathetic, this video proves that.
*’MURICA*
The whole video is a little bit deceiving with all the number five trucks they have out there with the Cessna in the Toyota in the tundra in the hard rock café there’s about four different number fives out there hard to keep track but is cool the watch
Hi Scott, this is all the same car's run.
NASCAR cars only show 5 percent of their true power level on speedways.
Let's make that 32 likes
.
fuck oath it has top speed, hahaha
The American can drive a road course just ask japan
The best Toyota truck on FOS was Tacoma by far.
BALLSY! NARROW TRACK!!!!!!!
Next time you do this shut up while that trucks running. don't wanna hear your mouth.
The P1 is faster.
It's also a road car, a road car that's faster than a pure race car.
P1 is awd hybrid and costs a million bucks, so I would hope so, otherwise P1 buyers are getting seriously ripped off.
So if you spend enough your car should automatically be faster than any random race car? Well, that makes perfect sense!
idontcare80 Veyron buyers believe so.
And?
A Caterham seven 620R which you can buy new for about 80.000 is quicker.
bob warner yea but it does not have the panty effect the truck has... what a pointless comment.
Not sure being dismissive proves anything except you're upset. The bloke in the truck did a good job, no doubt, but you don't need a million dollar budget and a pit crew to enjoy the same performance and then drive home, that's not pointless!
im sure ts quicker, but it is not faster.
@@matthilton69 trucks just make you look like an old fat man lmao
Nanderlizer Nanderlizer I am...
fake, fake and gay, the footage was sped up, there's no way a pickup truck can be that quick,. sorry, this is a fake
It's a pickup truck in name and shape only. Under that sheetmetal is a purpose-built tube frame chassis and racing suspension. That truck weighs roughly 3300 lbs and has an apocalyptic V8 pushing 800+ horsepower. Stock cars in general, and the top level Cup cars in particular rely on staggering amounts of mechanical grip to compensate for the relatively small amount of downforce they produce, making them alarmingly fast for their size.
@@griffinfaulkner3514 They don't actually run a very large contact patch for their size and weight. They do produce down force on ovals. They are frighteningly fast.
Ahem, Watch any NASCAR race and they usually push 160-200 mph
I lost all respect for the NHRA and NAPCAR when they allowed Toyota (a foreign automaker ) to compete in their events. I haven't supported them ever since.
