Footage supplied by Subaru - believe there is a more detailed production in the works... can't wait
What was the cars time and what is the bike lap record?
hope so cause this edit is missing most of the audio
+Sander Janssens lap record on a bike is 16:58, set by Michael Dunlop last Saturday.
+s Villalobos alright, thanks! So car 17m35s vs 16m58s bike..quite a big difference
But the car looked like it could go a bit quicker, while the bikes look like they're absolutely giving it 100%
The difference between 1st and 3rd on the super bikes is about 30 seconds, and this car pretty close to that pace. Amazing.
I didn't think this was possible but with an average speed of 128 mph this car actually matched the average speed of the super stock 600's. And the average speed of the superbikes is only 132 mph. That's incredible, I was not expecting that!
What is the cost of the car compared to a work’s bike?
100% more traction for cornering and braking
Still impressive but so are the bikes
@@darrengraves5230 stop making it a war, both bike and car have their pro and cons on this road, don't make it sound like it's easy to drive a car on those tight road
@@darrengraves5230It's not supposed to be a competition between cars and bikes.
Mark made it look like it was a sunday drive! Hes so calm behind the wheel!
Must be an electric car, it's so silent
Probably to loud for the mic to handle
That was stunning!
I LOVE the silent moments. To me, It represents the focus a driver must maintain to ride the limit.
Who edited this video, they should be sacked! Great car/driver and video content!
Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.
Fast car/driver .... some sound recording issues.
Its the raw footage...like they filmed it a day ago maybe be a bit more patient haha
The video is edited though.. I'd love some unedited in car full lap video.. Would be a lot better than this.
Got to agree, the course is in completely the wrong order. Quite off putting
full onboard lap please
Subaru will upload it soon!
1:24 Look how composed it is on landing!
Asphalt jumps are so perfectly precise compared to gravel jumps
Dat blow off valve sound tho
Sorry but its not blow off valve.
ahahah its the turbo spooling
think that's a mix of turbo surge and wastegate flutter. I could be wrong not 100% sure how this car is setup
Big Hoyle Nice try, the "stu stu stu" sound you hear isn't the turbo spooling, thats the air going back through the turbo to keep the boost down when letting go of the throttle...
lambosuperl it's compressor surge
3:22 That oversteer on Ramsey corner! Can't wait for the full vid.
1:17 when she says shes home alone
Really enjoying the new Police, Camera, Action
those jumps were perfect and man that turbo sound :3 also the girl at 3:04 lol
followed by that lack of sound
lol true
Waste gate sound is awesome. Inb4 blow off valve
Thnak you Mark Higgins. You hold the badge for us that love Subaru.. You just showed what a little turbo Boxer engine in a great platform can do... CANT wait to see the full "IN CAR"!!!! Cangrats'
Calm down people. This was supposedly a preliminary "light edit" video per sources with more to come.
What's with all the down votes? I thought that was a cool vid.
It didn't work at first, so it had 2 likes and 22 dislikes the first time I tried
It's not that the video isn't cool or well produced, but Subaru (or AC) might be pulling a fast one. What record are they talking about?, their own for production cars, didn't down vote, just sayin'
+brilliantradience , You think this was well produced? i thought the editing was HORRIBLE
+brilliantradience the all time car lap record, car being anything on 4 wheels
+D Rock 75 Yeah, rewatching the clip there's too many soundless clips and spectator footage that goes on too long but I'm sure they'll make a nice promo vid to pat themselves on the back XD
Could you have used the audio from the internal camera that had the best audio throughut?
What a beast! Subaru + Prodrive = Perfection + massive wrc memories! Fk the Citroens. Hope Mitsubishi now under Nissan brings a beasty Evo Xl
That Turbo Chatter is Something else. Brilliant
Sparks from the helicopter shot @ 4:02. Cool footage, shame about the audio. I still gave it a thumbs up though!
Anthony
Girl at 3:30, u have awsome looks!
What a shambles - The editing is back and forth all over the circuit - Play the clips in sequence around the lap.
I have prodrive replica P11L springs on my gm5, and even with the kyb struts...it's unbelievable how balanced and more stable it became at all speeds. My dad rode in the car and couldn't believe how comfortable it was and how it handled.
I liked the audio on this it made it mysterious
haha
At least 2 of the in car cameras had audio - who ever edited this either was extremely lazy or did not get paid. I hope we get a full lap from the front bumper cam but for some reason we never get that sort of thing, even though it should be an hour or so work and then just a dump to youtube. Oh well.
This is super fun to watch and the car is sick but didn't Mark set the record last time with just s slightly modified street STi?
...now its time to make this the factory challenge real world time attack and leave the Nurburgring alone, run what ya brung, 1 week out of the year in front of the
public...come on GM, FORD, NISSAN, PORSCHE ETC;
And then Michael Dunlop went round around 42 seconds faster per lap! Scary!
Subaru and Prodrive wrecking shop! That. Just. Happened!!!!!!!
2:28 He would've lost quite a bit of time with this speed.
This is becoming the next Pikes Peak. We just need Leob and he'll break the 130mph avg!
What engine and turbo is the car ruinning?
Leob for me would destroy the record plus the record is bullshit anyway as Higgins is the only one to do it every year
Pikes peak isn’t anywhere near as historic as the Isle of Man.
The people standing near the embankment/barricades almost deserve to be eliminated from the gene pool
Who said auto’s where slow! Absolutely a paddle shifting beast 🔥
Always amazes me how relaxed and lazy pro drivers look behind the wheel. pushing the limits and looking like me when im watching tv on my sofa lol
2:06 That Decel/downshift sound!
Thats why he's the only driver they use on the very pacey or tricky driving sequences in the Bond movies. Lovely humble lad aswell...him and Ben Collins have done a fair bit a driving training with Special Forces both us and the SAS lads.
Still using the EJ257 I see. I though the FA20 was soooo much better ? Why don't they use it then since the EJ gets such a bad rep. But reality is, the EJ257 is a great little motor when maintained and modified correctly.
Who the heck made this video? I'm sure the lap was stunning to watch, but this footage is rather underwhelming, giving very little impression of speed. Fail!
I enjoyed watching the Video 😊
Just for the record he smashed car lap record not all time lap record which is michael dunlop on superbike. Still some awesome driving by Highins
Umm Yeah! One does realise. It's a once in a blue moon event and has nothing to do with the actual TT.
Could have been such a cool video but its just boring.
Whats all that sound on/off? Something broken?
Why no onboard or bumper cam?
They should take this car to pikes peak.
***** Climb it. Fast.
Vid of the month
He needs to do it again with 1200bhp !!
Subaru has zero advertising skills, they could have made this video so much better. They need to learn from Gymkhana videos.
Ken Block videos are for the Motorsport uneducated. This was great.
They should make an Isle of Man TT with cars.
It's a shame we couldn't have a full lap onboard with sound.
It must be nice to hold a record where your the only one to race round there each year i would love to see sebastien loeb destroy that record
Thats that then . 600bhp scooby is as fast as a super bike .
It isn't.
+Nik Brudar yea its in the top ten
As imagens ficaram muito boas, agora a edição deixou muito a desejar, o áudio não acompanha o vídeo, tem que melhorar o pessoal da edição aí pessoal da AutoCar...!!!
"Now THIS is pod racing!!"
Did they use the EJ20 or the EJ25 when they were modifying this sti
3982943 Insects were killed during the making of this video.
No HANS device? Is this guy insane?
Was there on the day, this video does not do it justice.
Not a good video, no sound for half of it...
I want that noise to come from my brakes too!!
No sound was super annoying...
That flutter... 😍
Subaru is splendid.Status is different from VW.
On one shot, there's a Gran Turismo windshield sunstrip on the car. On another shot, its a Subaru windshield sunstrip. .... Two different cars? Two different attempts?
3:26 is the epitome of Subaru.
Cornering ability UNMATCHED
Smash Isle of Man tt lap record? Bit of a misleading title isn't it? Considering its laps about the same as a supersport bike and Michael Dunlop holds the lap record on an S1000rr
the odd silence here and there is very cool. but 2:40 was not worth the wait!!
Anyone else noticed/believes that @ 2:27 - 2:57 is actually Gran Turismo footage???
242 evo fans lol
It doesn't matter how fast cars get. If we lose the classic tuned engine noise and the turbo chatter car based motorsports will be fuct.
I was looking forward to seeing this but really poor editing and sound issues ruin it... you managed to make a boring video out of something exciting...
The Subaru WRX STTI!!
He didn't beat the bike lap times you have misled the general public. He beat the car lap record. You should be more clearer
I'm sorry to disappoint you , but this is New Levorg STI. ;-) Bye Bye
great audio...
How can they compare a modified STI with 600 HP to 2014 record set by "almost" stock STI?
Of course the 600 HP will win by huge margin.
Having a Subaru in a rally with no makes me sad. Needs more stutututu!
Now that we can all watch it I'll change that dislike to a like, sounds immense!
I wish I can drive that car on that course.
The Bikes are Faster ..this car smashed nothing but an old car lap record
He decided to do the bottom of Bray Hill forwards rather than sideways this time then?
It be nice to see just a bonnet cam version of the lap.
Congratulations to Mark Higgins :)
Hopefully it won't be covered by flies. You can see in the 4:48 all the flies on the windshield. If you check Higgins twitter, there is picture where thousands of flies on the bumper.
They didn't have a chance.
This should be a MSMHMS (Mega Super Mega Hyper Mega Special) Stage of the British WRC Round :D (Yes I know unfortunately costs among other things wouldn't allow it but still..)
Fuck the car.... Awesome Driver !!!
It would be awesome to see a hyper car running there !!
Yes it would be cool, but they would be quite a bit slower without significant development to deal with the kind of tarmac wrc cars do
Did you see the little Rabbit running away in the left side at 1:27 ? Wow
Cannot believe the audio was cut in certain shots.... What a fail...!
Not bad for a car. Bikes defy gravity, cars just suck😉
The video editing is shocking, no sound from one camera to the next. It's like a failed GCSE media project
If only Subaru made a production WRX STi for the US market with a 6 or 7 speed semi automatic paddle shifter transmission, Id be more inclined to get this car.
bummer about the audio
Thought BOV were bad for Subaru's...
That hairpin at 2:15 0.0
What was the lap time?
Did he go round the other (reverse) way; hairpin reversed AFAICT. Perhaps me.
If you wanna survive Isle of Man, don't blink
Did anyone else happen to notice the rabbit at about 1:26?
hated the audio
202 Evo fans...
What is going on with the sound I cant watch it no matter how much I want to
Maybe Sebastien Loeb will try next year and smash this record...just like he did at Pikes Peak.
Subaru is the only ones allowed to race the isle of man?
