I recognise and enjoy the new quality of your videos in terms of editing and storytelling in the recent past Rory! Keep it up, love the new flavours of content we are getting 👍🏻
you missed a couple power upgrades (bore up, titanium connecting rods / pistons, racing crankshaft and high compress. pistons. This, a couple suspension tweaks (mainly stiffening up the natural frequency, taking off some camber, dropping the ride height if it already hasn't been, adding some rear toe and Anti-roll bar stiffness to mitigate oversteer / understeer) + some differential settings to ease the car's slippery nature and I think that you can beat the Supra's time. Maybe this could be revisited in a later video. Custom rims and wide offset do also produce some more grip (and check for any aero parts, although I doubt there are any that affect downforce for this car in particular), for an added bonus.
I was wondering if he tweaked the settings. It looked like he just threw parts at it, especially with a 300mm+ ride height. A proper setup might get him in sub-minute lap times.
Were there any aero parts available for the bus? Curious if that + some suspension tuning could've made this monster a little more wieldy in the corners!
Why not just stick to what you were doing and keep with the time trial rather than racing ai for the last one. We didn’t get to find out how much quicker the nos made it
Fun fact: You should now be able to get that around the tourist course at the Ring in under 10 minutes, which means you can indeed say "I can do that in a van".
An unexpected and enjoyable deviation from the norm. Some really positive editing and creative choices being made as of late. Looking forward to the “Non-meta” meta community races in the future. Great video RA, keep ‘em coming.
Great video Rory! The format and progression was excellent. Should definitely do a series on this every now and then such as making a road car into a Le Mans beast, making your own version of an LMP
@Rory .. If you ever use Cockpit for Immesion - PLEASE use "Type2" rather than Type one. type 1: Camera is mounted to the car Type 2: Camera is mounted to the drivers head - Wich wobbles more and looks into the direction of corners - wich is awesome. test it on a Stock AC Cobra down the Nürburgring. Its the best feeling you can get in 2D :)
What a great, fun video Rory. Your content continues to be the best around and your demeanor as a creator is just perfect. I'm an 'auld fella' and have been with your channel as a subscriber since you had around 1,000 people. Delighted at your success. Keep it up and good luck for the future🇮🇪☘️
i did a full upgrade samba bus nurburgring 24h lap, before i unlocked engine swaps, and it took me like 20-25 minutes to finish it. glad to see im not the only one wasting my time on useless cars xD
adding a bit of ballast at the front to fix the weight distribution would help the stability and give more confidence to push harder through the corners.
By the way Rory, I did a an experiment with a Bugatti Veyron and Chiron. I wanted to see what was better: Carbon Brakes or Racing Brakes. I found at Special Stage X at Top Speed, both cars stopped a little sooner with the Racing Brakes. Feel free to repeat the experiment.
Reminds me of the old Disney Herbie movies from the 70's, lol. It was a VW Beetle in those of course, but this video still made me laugh my butt off with the way you were passing the other cars for the win at the end.
High Speed Ring was my favourite track of all time in the OG gran turismo games. I knew it was High Speed Ring just from that first corner being displayed. So iconic
The only thing you needed to change on the tune would be to increase the Natural Frequency to about 3.00 to 3.20 for front/back. Would have made the vehicle a lot more stable. Great work!
Was on the edge off my seat watching this one thinking Mr. Rory planning on taking egos of actual racers online with this thing. Oh well best not dwell on it too much..
You need to fine tune it. I reckon it can be done. Tuning gear differentials and lengths are essential for curbing oversteer in and out of corners as you accelerate for example
I haven't played the GT7 yet, infact I haven't played any GT games, but I have to ask.. Is that the best suspension setup that could go for the bus? Can't you lower the suspension and somehow psuh the vehicle further more?
Reminds me of when we would play drunk in college. I would go with a Civic Type R and all my Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche friends would be in the wall at the first turn while I puttered through not fast enough to lose grip.
Fun video to watch, great stuff Rory. lol You don't see that everyday, that's for sure. Hey after all those upgrades, did you ever get the heater to work?
Have you not done any of the menu stuff to unlock the other tracks? That's mostly what I've done since I got the game a couple weeks ago and license stuff haha wasn't sure how other people played the game!
Am I the only one who noticed that his last lap was like 1 minute, 26 seconds? 16:45 is when it cuts from actual first-person footage so you can't see that lap time he crosses the finish line at 16:53 so 8 seconds and the last of the lap time we see is 1 minutes and 18 seconds so add 8 seconds to 18 is 1 minutes 26 seconds meaning he didn't achieve what he set out to do and lost time between the Nightrus run and max run
Besides doing the campaign try to regularly do the daily driving marathon and weekly time trials. I've won a decent amount of cars with the roulette tickets.
Sometimes i upgrade car and gets undrivable...really like steering weels lock turned...i ssense as somethong to do with wide body upgrade..not sure tho
haha this is got to be funniest thing i seen hats off rory hats off mate that what you call entertainment and pure laughs too this needs to be a series the slowest cars against fastest
Imagine being in a Gr.3 lobby and a spongey underwater boi flies past you.
I’d be humorously pissed 😂😂 like I just got my ssa handed to me by a kid that’s what I’d be thinking
Real🗿
Glad you enjoyed my livery, I made it for my kids, can’t wait to show them it in your video!
Crazy
I want to get my car wrapped in that livery. Was going to do it before the wedding, but the wife said do it afterwards.
NOICE
@@TransAmDan28 I want pics
@@the_monkey_12bu da man monkey, u da man
If this was a real SpongeBob car, the driver would floor it for the entire time and never hit the brakes once.
The time it took the Gr 3 car to do a lap is almost the time it took the stock samba bus just to cross the start line 😂😂
I recognise and enjoy the new quality of your videos in terms of editing and storytelling in the recent past Rory! Keep it up, love the new flavours of content we are getting 👍🏻
The ominous music right before the race was the icing on this well timed cake. This was a grand idea mate
If the game lets you, you should hold a race with viewers using this car with whatever engine swaps ect others want to do to.
@@jonathangille8643They really should bring back shuffle racing. Amazing game mode that they just shelved...

I wouldve also thought that due to the sambabus' low downforce, it would gain time by using the banking? Please correct me if I am mistaken
I was wondering if he tweaked the settings. It looked like he just threw parts at it, especially with a 300mm+ ride height. A proper setup might get him in sub-minute lap times.
He also needs to tweak the transmission. it was geared for way too low topspeed.
He could also have used a well positioned ballast to act for weight balancing wherever needed.
This needs to become a series!!
That was painful, maybe some understanding of what they modifications are and how to fine tune them would be more enjoyable
As entertaining as this video was, he could definitely beat the time of the Supra with a few setup changes.
stubbed my toe when I read that
Like lower it? Adjust roll bar, camber, toe, differential...
I just managed a 1:13.556 with fine tuning and no nitrous
It’s got a 1:12 in it
I think if you added aeros and played with the suspension a little it would beat the Supra time.
So this was the video you were talking about... Absolutely love it mate! 🤣 You should do more of these types of videos
8:01 you changed engine but didn't change suspensions? How do you expect that thing to make the corners fast without lowering it?
Were there any aero parts available for the bus? Curious if that + some suspension tuning could've made this monster a little more wieldy in the corners!
Rory you need to add some stickers for extra horsepower 😂
I heard red paint instantly adds 100HP. Slap on a horse sticker and it adds 200 more HP.
@@channel-nb7vxadd a nascar sticker and it might add 400😂
Why not just stick to what you were doing and keep with the time trial rather than racing ai for the last one. We didn’t get to find out how much quicker the nos made it
Who all's day gets better when a new video from Rory pops up!?!?!? Love this guy!

A totally modded (not engine swap) Sambabus is a hoot on off road tracks; surprisingly fun.
Higher roll bars and tighter suspension + slam it as low it can go without wheels scraping when turning. I bet this guy can get sub 1:05 lap
Perfect Sunday video this! Easy to watch and just a fun watch too! Loved this video Rory 👍🏻
This is amazing. I'd probably take off the steering angle adapter. That's for holding a drift!
"Careful, careful, careful, go go go!" That was entertaining Rory, good job. Shows how bad normal tyres are!
Great video Rory!

@Rory .. If you ever use Cockpit for Immesion - PLEASE use "Type2" rather than Type one.
type 1: Camera is mounted to the car
Type 2: Camera is mounted to the drivers head - Wich wobbles more and looks into the direction of corners - wich is awesome.
test it on a Stock AC Cobra down the Nürburgring. Its the best feeling you can get in 2D :)
Well! look at that! Talk about upping the game! Major kudos for that effort Rory! Top class work
What a great video! So much fun. We need more videos like that! Cheers!!

Hilarious Rory, that's on my list of fun stuff with GT7, thanks for the idea!
Absolutely brilliant mate. Gonna use this one as a beginner of the online racing 😂
Absolutely too much fun :) Great video!!!
Mate, that was epic.... you're onto something special here i think....

Love the background music and your face while driving thr stock bus😂
Good job!
This is absolutely fantastic Rory! Chill, easy, funny 😂😊❤

Ho Ho Ho Ho...Merry Christmas Rory Alexander Son...
I can’t believe how stable the Samba Bus used to be before the 1.49 ruined it!😂😂
That Porsche sound while watching you driving an old Bulli is just too funny 😂
I haven't played the GT7 yet, infact I haven't played any GT games, but I have to ask.. Is that the best suspension setup that could go for the bus? Can't you lower the suspension and somehow psuh the vehicle further more?
A bit different than your usual content Rory but very enjoyable.
Reminds me of when we would play drunk in college. I would go with a Civic Type R and all my Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche friends would be in the wall at the first turn while I puttered through not fast enough to lose grip.
bro, if you stiff the suspension a little bit, you'll definitely have a better time
Did you try lowering the front and rasing the rear to see if it improves aerodynamics?
Why not tweak the suspension? Swaybars, height, etc. Diff?
This is the content GT7 was made for. Pure entertainment
Fun video to watch, great stuff Rory. lol You don't see that everyday, that's for sure. Hey after all those upgrades, did you ever get the heater to work?
tyres, suspension, weight then power. Easily doable in one upgrade attempt if you don't purposefully hinder the car on the first one
How many different engine swaps are there in GT7?. Newest GT ive ever played is GT5.
4:46 Are we nearly there yet? I need the toilet! I feel sick.
rory just a bit of advise on the final turn you should take it wide and go on the outside because you can carry more speed
Next video idea - 50 laps of the Nurburgring in a stock samba bus
no need for extra steering angle or hydro brake unless your drifting, those things will only make a car slower around a circuit.
Great video watched it all the way
i think you want to take the outside line in some of the corners since they have a progressive banking
I just got a G29 Logitech wheel and pedals. Discovering that I should really have some sort of rig!
Have you not done any of the menu stuff to unlock the other tracks? That's mostly what I've done since I got the game a couple weeks ago and license stuff haha wasn't sure how other people played the game!
😂😂 that was funny Rory. This video made my day.
I'd love to get back in to racing games, but don't have the money for a PS5, is there any way to play this on PC?

Do any of you have some good tips to get a higher collector level in GT7?

"we need to go to our garage to find ourselves a Victim!"... love it 👍
Try adjusting the settings on the suspension setup
This was honestly hilarious 😁😁😁
This is dope! Absolutely loving this new format :)
I am very surprised you didn’t adjust the suspension and differential, makes quite a bit of a difference
The few upgrades you missed here where the turbo, and engine upgrades.
You caught me with this one.
What else you got? Fiat 500 mod?
Cheers.
Sometimes i upgrade car and gets undrivable...really like steering weels lock turned...i ssense as somethong to do with wide body upgrade..not sure tho
Wish you tuned the gearbox and suspension properly, would have made such a difference
How did you get that livery? It makes me laugh all the time
Wanna know what the time trial looked like with nitrous on the bus
You really need to do the Mini with Honda Civic engine swap next and all upgrades. That thing spins in all gears.
haha this is got to be funniest thing i seen hats off rory hats off mate that what you call entertainment and pure laughs too this needs to be a series the slowest cars against fastest
Love it, great fun, thanks for sharing 👍
You could also try to set it to some kind of F1 suspension. It could be quicker in corners
After that accident, i was on the edge of seat, hunched over. my toes started curling for the podium finish😂😂😂
Suspension tuning is off the table, I guess lol
Engine swapped Willy Jeep is hilarious as well.
You are so much fun! 😂 lóve watching your game
I would never jump in such a monster samba bus, I assume it would flip over in high speed corners. Waaaay too dangerous 😅
That was great Rory. But did you beat the time with NOS???
Loving the new video ideas and editing rory keep it up!🎉
Hilarious. Great video. That SpongeBob livery cracks me up. More of this please 👍
Had Jack and I in stitches! So long suckerssss 😂
I see you shift with only one finger, do you find that easier than 2 fingers? Or is it just personal preference?
Great idea!!!! More like this!!
