    Genuinely, From my heart, this is the best content on TH-cam right now. I'm always excited when I see a new episode. The dry humor and banter is perfectly balanced with technical knowhow, racing spirit and sportsmanship. The city car cup is amazing! Just the kind of side by side racing I grew up with in the old STCC days.

    This is exactly why I think motorsport is good for my eldest. It doesn’t matter if something bad happens during life, it isn't over until it's over. He cannot accept making a mistake, but he needs to understand that everyone does. You work you best to catch up. Learn from mistakes and you take the victories you can.
    The harder you have to work for a victory, the better it tastes.

    Well done guys, from an ex-Kyalami racer‼️👍👏
    Brings back wonderful memories when I started racing at Kyalami in the early ‘70s, having converted my then 105E road car after buying a Mk.3 Cortina GT and being offered peanuts for trade-in.
    What an exhilarating experience that was‼️
    I would take the car to Saturday Open Practice regularly just for the my ‘fix’ of that World renowned GP circuit.
    I tried a few Sims, BUT gave up after only a couple of ‘laps’ as they just cannot replicate actual racing, due to there being absolutely no feedback whatsoever of g-forces, car moving under you etc, and that’s what makes on circuit racing so addictive.
    Without Marshals there wouldn’t be any motorsport, being and ex-Flag man then racing.

      Not just Americans. I know plenty from all over the world that would act like that and I know plenty of American channels that would act similar to this channel. It is all about their target audience. This audience is exceptionally mature (especially the comments section) and the videos are phenomenal to watch. Those channels you speak of (majority of them anyways) got their 10 minute video of fame off of some hyped up crazy moment and they saw their channel get flooded with views and decided to keep that kind of style because that is what keeps their target subscribers and viewers coming. If those channels turned into this one, the mostly young fanbase would just drop off like a cliff. And if a channel like this one switched to the hyped up clickbait style of video, I doubt many of us would stay for the same reason. I am sure you can tell that I am indeed American myself but no matter where the origin of the channel is from, this channel and ones of similar styles are what I absolutely LOVE to watch.

    I truly enjoy your vids, blokes makin' stuff and racing the hell out of it. awesome... pretty fierce racing too, top motorsport sometimes misses that kind of action, where every touché gets you in trouble or riders burst into crybabies. Also i noticed the great audiomix, how a small problem(poor audio on trackside) can be turned into an added level of depth. Hearing the car while seeing it go through the corners from a distance gives it that extra layer of action in the shots. It doesn't matter the cars aren't that fast, anything driven flat-out looks like fun...

    Richard! You showed real talent out there. I can finally go to the racing series web site and read what they have to say as I've been avoiding that place so as not to pick up any spoilers.
    Nick! We know you've done you part, putting together a car that covers up Richards shortcomings (hehehehehe.)
    Ben! Great camerawork!
    I believe I've enjoyed the Bargen Racement series as much as Binky and Escargot and I'm glad we have those two project to fill in the gap in CCC racing. Of course I'd like to see some rally racing with the two of you so get Binky out the door and get on that rally car! You can always use Escargot and the MG as off season fillers next year!

Not often I've seen this sort of racing from this perspective, so I'm really enjoying it, thank you all. "Fleshy gasket" - next t-shirt, surely?

    I really wish this style of racing was more popular in the US and that there were far more tracks. The closest thing would be SCCA, NASA or Karting but with so few local tracks, it's impossible to join a series, unless you have the ability to travel across the majority of the US. One of the few Racing team channels I follow broke down their costs and it's roughly 10,000-12,000 per season, on top of the $10,000 they spent on the car(used 91 spec miata) but that doesn't include any maintenance on either the race car or tow vehicle.
    Autocross is the cheapest option, but good luck finding an event. In Michigan, there were only 4-5 events a year and I've probably only gotten 2hrs worth of seat time in the 5 years I did it before I moved to ND, where there's nothing other than Drag racing, Drifting and Dirt Ovals.

    You absolutely made me start building my own budget race car out of what started life as a clean low mileage Renault Clio 1.4. Not that I mind doing it but it's getting out of hand now that I gutted the interior and am in process of removing everything unnecessary out of the wiring loom. Even looking at a donor car for a 1.8 engine.

    Well done Lads, And some excellent driving from Richard. About the incident were you got called to see the officials. I would say fair enough. But if your car was not there he would of ended up in the weeds. But those sort of things are what make circuit racing fun. He didn't try and punt you off on purpose. There was a gap and if I was him I would of went for it as well. As for the hit in the right rear wheel that sent you off track, that was a bit uncalled for. But either way Great effort and Great racing. I hope there are more people building cars for next years City Car Cup Series. 20-25 cars in your own race would be epic.
    Thanks Guys for taking us along with your on your journey.
    Great Work. Cheers.
