    This is a super, super cool look into this level of racing. In particular, this video did an excellent job of letting the people in front of the camera explain the event. Coby and Justin's interactions and the evolution of the car's setup leading into qualifying made for a lovely cast and story to engage with. It's a different feel than we'd normally get with either Ben's narrations, excellent though they almost always are, and I really enjoyed it.

    The amount of support Coby got from everyone when he came into the paddock shows the true sense of community and family behind racing. Everybody is there for you, whether you finished 1st or last. Love to see it.

      One of their guys have been in the hospital for the past two months - they’ll probably ramp their production back up once he’s back to 100%.

    Coby s the real deal behind the wheel and one of the nicest people you will ever meet! We are so grateful to have met him, and so appreciative for all he has done to help our charity!! Looking forward to what comes next; and thanks again Coby!!
    Also, this is a really great piece! Thank you so much for doing it!!

    We need more videos like this!! This was incredible. Damn, really felt for Coby there when he rear ended the car. Just how racing goes, but I Know how disappointed and frustrated he must've felt, especially in the scenario with the race team. Best of luck man!

  • @13geeky
    @13geeky 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Let me find out Gears and Gasoline is a whole ass production team that can be hired out to make something like this. Everything from the racers to the telemetry, you guys hit the spot with this. Imagine you guys covering someone’s entire race season like we got for the Grid Life series you uploaded.

  • @derekyam1805
    @derekyam1805 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hey Coby, if you're reading through the comments.. don't worry too much, I know how you feel (been there done that). It sucks, but what doesn't hurt you will make your faster. Good luck on your future races!!
    PS. The Bens has done it again, what a masterpiece this video was!

  • @LucoreAuto
    @LucoreAuto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Those are tough moments to deal with as a driver but when you're out there giving it your all, all it takes is one slip up or miscommunication. Part of the spotters job should also be alerting the driver to impending problems and maybe it just didn't make it in the video but someone should have recognized the closing speed and called that out before the impact happened. Lesson learned for the driver and the team that will hopefully never be an issue again. Racing weekends are a great way to spend your time but can also be heartbreaking... AND expensive. Shake it off and be better next time!

    This is the undeniable formula to successful Vibing 👏 👌

    There’s no one better to cover this, the shots are amazing and your choice of using a combo of classical music and letting the sounds of the paddock through was perfect. I’ve watched it twice already, You’re inspiring to our channel!

    I'm not much of a commenter on YT videos, but I want to lend praise to the Ben's and their team. Your cinematography and ability to flawlessly capture a moment and make it feel like we were literally there is astounding. Between the road trips, modification videos, detailing videos, and now this. It's insane how amazing you make your film and put together an absolute masterpiece. For 35 minutes I felt like I was there. I felt like they were speaking to me, not a camera. The sheer talent behind the camera and then putting together this beautiful video was amazing. Take a day off, enjoy yet another successful video. This was amazing, and video after video I never fail to be impressed. Thank you for another amazing video!

    For a moment I forgot this was TH-cam. I picked up my TV remote to try to change the channel and realized this isn't Discovery channel... The production quality is seriously top notch, like on a level of name brand filmography. Please keep this coming I'll watch every moment! Cheers team

    I know that feeling and it's racing. I started a race on my small motorcycle and I completely wodded it up on the first corner of the first race of the season and it was my mistake by making contact with the bike in front of me. Best thing to do is learn and move forward.

I am from Canada competing in Ontario Time Attack with my c6 vette and hope to make it out to a few Gridlife events this season, and eventually transition it to wheel to wheel racing sometime in the next few years. Hope to see you guys at the Gridlife events this season!
