Quite possibly one of the stupidest things I've done in or around cars, but also the most exhilarating. I have a lot of trust in Joe and wouldn't have believed in many others to deliver me to the top of the hill in one piece. I hope you enjoy!
A shorts wearing man smokes while racing a million dollar Maserati with a passanger without a seatbelt, a helmet or even a seat over public roads :D that only happens in italy :D
effspot hahahahahaha. He seems like your kind of guy, shorts, probably wearing flip flops. I'm surprised his cigarette didn't catch race fuel fumes and blow them up.
Joe Macari can smoke anywhere he wants... whenever he wants...he's a fearless legend that will always be remembered for his passion and love of performance and excellence. Sam, you'll be remembered for also being fearless and providing amazing content that is becoming the most enjoyable anywhere on TH-cam.
It’s great to see that Italy’s laid back attitude towards safety hasn’t really change since the 70’s. No helmets, narrow roads, smoking, and driving at ludicrous speeds... Fantastic!
rather what an idiot...driving this thing, searching for his lighter. Imagine a piece of ash dropped on his shirt, burned through and he crashes because of it. This is not cool, it's nuts.
FireEye3405 greenlight exactly what I was thinking if this man is a race driver hes Super improfessional, looks like he has no idea what hes doing most of the time , no idea about a racing line, always in the wrong gear not to mention holding the steering wheel, im surprised hes not stuffed the car yet and yes I know hes taking it easy and slow not a timed lap but still
@Logan11thMEU lol are you fucking kidding, I actually race and this man has some serious brass and good car control, leave the judging for people that race or know how to drive outside a racing sim...
ahahah you are risking your life without your seatbelt, without a SEAT while he is smoking his cig driving a 12 cylinders monster at +130mph and it's all legal! ahahah I love my country and I hope you enjoyed your time in ITALIA
I was thinking just that the ENTIRE video. What a classic boss, cigarette either in his left hand or in his mouth. Just puffing on it whilst driving better than I ever could #goals
Everything for the shot ! Well done Sam ! That's the kind of commitment we really like ! Thank you for sharing this with us ! You didn't need "to do it your way" by editing and everything ! This POV video as pure as it is, was just perfect for us to experience what you just lived there ! I loved when you turned your head to show the "epicness" of Joe Macari ! Amazing !
I think I speak for the majority of your fans when I say we don’t ask that you don’t go to such extremes for your videos, but you are a LEGEND for doing so haha.
This video is the most amazingly Italian thing I have seen in a long time. Smoking, wearing a Richard Mille, and Driving an MC12 like it is no big deal. This guy is a legend.
videos like this should never ever be edited, you'll lose all the feeling and sensations of what it was really like. Thank you for letting it run as recorded.
No helmets, no firesuites , no race seat , no seatbelt, smoking a cig surrounded by race fuel, . The Silverstone marshalls have just shat themselves laughing at this. But it looks epic, a static go pro bolted to the screen would not pick up the jerkiness movements of that car, it adds to the drama. Joe macari is notorious for that, I have all the old gumball videos from the early 2000's and he drives like a nutter.
What a hero. A car like that could be tucked up, wrapped in silk in a garage. Not that one, smashing up the gears, sliding the car and pushing it. Amazing video and it is all thanks to that hero continuing to use that magnificent car as it was meant to be. Thank you.
Watched this video for a few years now, never gets old. One thing I find hilarious besides the cigarettes and shorts/t-shirt/flip-flops, is that Macari seemed to want to do the Sign of the Cross before the flag dropped but then bailed when the flag dropped.
I can't believe they let you do this. He has 5 point harness and you have your hands. It would prove to either be the greatest video of all time or the last for stg.
Absolutely brilliant! Found your video after watching the MC12 story on Vinwiki. Reminds a bit of the classic ‘C’etait un rendezvous’. ps really enjoyed the drive the world series this year. Looking forward to your videos in 2020. Keep up the great work!
To my mind THE greatest racing driver ever, to have the control and balance of driving the car at pace through tight and twisty roads whilst maintaining and having perfect control of his cig and sparking it whilst driving 😱 bravo sir bravo 👏🏼 better than any current formula 1 driver on the grid at this present moment in time..
The raw footage with just the sound of that gorgeous engine made for an incredibly thrilling video Sam!! Wot a ride that must have been, and holy shit u got some balls for getting that thing
MBP 1 May have been born and lives in the UK but sounds very Italian... Macari, born in Aldershot to parents from Monte Cassino, Italy Shayan Bokaie: Macari sounds Italian, were you born in Italy? Joe Macari: No, I was born in the UK, but I used to spend all summer there as a kid. I thought it was because my parents loved me, but it was actually to get us out of the way for the summer. Grandma could look after us better than they could. We went under their feet (chuckles).
Yes Sam this definitely gets a huge thumbs up from me, glad you remarked on Joe's smoking and stuff that hit home with me. LOL This was epic and something I'd expect more from Paul. LOL Great job !!!!
Racing an MC12 GT1 with no helmet and smoking a cigarette is the kind of old school badassery we lack a lot today ! Huge thumbs up to Joe and Sam for hurting himself for all of us haha
Lockdown is a bit of a pest but it has enabled me to watch a whole heap of really great TH-cam stuff......including this! Joe Macari is a quality chap.
Raw video footage , just brilliant Sam 👍 loved it . One of the best . Looked like you enjoyed it , and the chap driving with a tab on . Lol only in mad Italy.
Wow on the edge of my chair all the way. you nailed it. Pleeeeeease more of this i'm sure othere veiwers would like this too. would have liked to seen the speedo. wow, wow, wow.
you wont forget that ride as long as you live in years to come it will be a beautiful treasured memory, not repeatable in a modern HS&E over PC world...
(halfway up the course) "Hey, Sam, remember when I said this car was death proof? Well, that wasn't a lie. This car is 100% death proof. Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you REALLY need to be sitting in my seat."
Well I must say I am so happy for you and that ride. It looked like one hell of a run again huge congrats. I must say though that reminds me of going out on a boat doing 80 plus miles and hour on the lake. You gotta hold on for dear life then as well especially when the waves start to kick. I live on Lake Erie in Cleveland Ohio, You gotta come around here we have a pretty good car culture here we have two big factories Ford and Chevy right here in Cleveland. We have famous tracks with in a couple hour drives from here. Norwalk raceway where some incredible world champion drag racing goes down. Plus more. We hold our own little race as well the Cleveland Grand Prix 2007 was the last year for it but there is a movement to get it started again. Well enough rambling huge congrats again glad you had fun and it is always good to see you be very respectful of other people and their stuff.
Such a shame this video doesnt have a hell of a lot more views as i think its likely the best one you have ever done due to how raw and just awesome it is with Joe puffing awaing while driving in shorts with you clinging on.. Awesome awesome stuff that H&S these days hates.

Best video eveeeeer!
Seen Through Glass blocks greetings from new zealand ...bloody hell Sam a white knuckle ride mate friggin awesome video bro
So jealous, the mc12 is the car I idolized as a kid .-.
Exhilarating for sure. Dumb? Irresponsible? Yep!
whaaat. I nearly missed this video... it wasn't shown by my subscriptions...
but great content, like always!
As soon as I saw the guy wasn't wearing a helmet and smoking I knew this was going to be a Badass video
A shorts wearing man smokes while racing a million dollar Maserati with a passanger without a seatbelt, a helmet or even a seat over public roads :D that only happens in italy :D
To be fair, if he was wearing a helmet it would make smoking a cigarette almost impossible.
MBP 1 yeah.... i think so... :D
Some helmets only cover the top and sides of the head, while the face is not covered
OldSchool guy 😎 #Macari
YES. You came here for 13:11 where Captain Badass lights up his cigarette again.
if he was any classier he would be a fucking school.
This video is reckless, dangerous and irresponsible. Everybody knows smoking can kill you.
among millions of other things.. its his choice
It was a joke......
effspot hahahahahaha. He seems like your kind of guy, shorts, probably wearing flip flops. I'm surprised his cigarette didn't catch race fuel fumes and blow them up.

THEY ARE NOT DEAD...
It’s great to see that Italy’s laid back attitude towards safety hasn’t really change since the 70’s. No helmets, narrow roads, smoking, and driving at ludicrous speeds... Fantastic!
Casually smoking a sig, lmao, what a legend
rather what an idiot...driving this thing, searching for his lighter. Imagine a piece of ash dropped on his shirt, burned through and he crashes because of it. This is not cool, it's nuts.
This is old school legend status. Mad respect to this lunatic 😂😎
FireEye3405 greenlight exactly what I was thinking if this man is a race driver hes Super improfessional, looks like he has no idea what hes doing most of the time , no idea about a racing line, always in the wrong gear not to mention holding the steering wheel, im surprised hes not stuffed the car yet and yes I know hes taking it easy and slow not a timed lap but still
yea i dont think it was a cig TBH
@Logan11thMEU lol are you fucking kidding, I actually race and this man has some serious brass and good car control, leave the judging for people that race or know how to drive outside a racing sim...
I like the way Italy could honestly not give less shits about health and safety ..
_"Ay! We putta cushion on dee floor. Itsa perfecly safe!"_
13:31 this dude just casually lit a cig whilst going 100 mph. I'm surprised he can drive without his balls getting in the way. Damn dude.
Please god give me just 0,01% of this man's chillness
I love how he's smoking while driving as if it's just a regular daily car
ahahah you are risking your life without your seatbelt, without a SEAT while he is smoking his cig driving a 12 cylinders monster at +130mph and it's all legal! ahahah I love my country and I hope you enjoyed your time in ITALIA
Guglielmo Tosetti Would be one hell of a way to go.
Joe Macari - legend! Oversteer, wheelspin, roll-up.
Drive like a Sir, with a cigarette in the hand LOL
Haha yup! Such a boss, especially when he starts looking for his lighter at 130mph
I was thinking just that the ENTIRE video. What a classic boss, cigarette either in his left hand or in his mouth. Just puffing on it whilst driving better than I ever could #goals
It's as italian as it can get I guess 😂 How was the air inside the car?
What a boss lol
He looks like Jean Alesi
Wtf? Did he really just smoke a cig in a MC12 !?
he smoked two! one at the beginning and the second at the end! ahahah
yaah like it was in backinadays.. F1.. lemans.. they all smoked cigs or drink.
I was honestly expecting him to answer a phone call, or open up a bottle and drink some liquor. Epic!
Driving a race car while lighting up a cig. How badass can you get?
I enjoyed the pure unedit POv ride. Thanks Sam!
Everything for the shot ! Well done Sam ! That's the kind of commitment we really like ! Thank you for sharing this with us ! You didn't need "to do it your way" by editing and everything !

After hearing the story with sound effects from VINwiki I had to come check this video out. Freaking awesome man!!!
This video is the most amazingly Italian thing I have seen in a long time. Smoking, wearing a Richard Mille, and Driving an MC12 like it is no big deal. This guy is a legend.
videos like this should never ever be edited, you'll lose all the feeling and sensations of what it was really like. Thank you for letting it run as recorded.
I'm so glad you chose to upload the unedited POV version. My ears are bleeding right now Thank you.
I rarely comment on videos but the driver is a legend
Aj Fioritti you need to relax

Hey. Yeah, I’m here from VinWiki, too. 4:25 is when it gets good and it is very worth it.
Still one of the best TH-cam videos out there.
God bless you Italy during this covid19. Hope you get through it soon
The most ridiculously awesome thing I've ever seen in my life.
Joe, Greatest Driver I've Seen Since, Driving Up the Hill and Having a Smoke at the Same Time, Boss Hillclimb Driver in the Countryside of Europe.
Had a similar experience in a 997 Cup, can confirm you're willing to go through great pain to bring your audience great content. We appreciate it!
FairPlay, one of the best onboard I've seen in a long time. Great footage.
Fantastic series Sam 1st rate content! Bravo! Super cool ride. Loved to watch Joe puffing away.
What! Just smoking casual up the Hill, driving a super racecar! Just legendary 👍😀
Sam, once a year I come back to this video. This has to be the most outrageous and amazing video on youtube. Everything about it is insane
Excuse my language but wow that was visceral as fuck to watch. Lucky man!
you sir have the most exclusive onboard on the entire youtube. this is a gem. congrats.
I can't believe they let you do this. He has 5 point harness and you have your hands. It would prove to either be the greatest video of all time or the last for stg.
Love the raw footage. Works great for this video. There's a fine line between brilliance and lunacy!!! Incredible
This has to be my favorite video other than the POV ride in the Vulcan. Absolutely exhilarating!!!
Absolutely brilliant! Found your video after watching the MC12 story on Vinwiki. Reminds a bit of the classic ‘C’etait un rendezvous’. ps really enjoyed the drive the world series this year. Looking forward to your videos in 2020. Keep up the great work!
This is the one of the craziest, most epic onboard rides ever - period.
Liked before watching, MC12 is absolutely legendary!
Well held on! Great footage. Can't believe the driver was casually smoking a cigarette whilst driving that 😂
LOVEEEE YOUR CONTENT ESPECIALLY YOUR EDIT !!! ITS SOO COOL TO WATCH
Wow! Best one yet Sam. Absolutely amazing! 18 minutes of me smiling and I never smile. Lucky sod.
If anyone has subtitles on, it purely just says "MUSIC" immense! Keep up the brilliant work Sam. Big fan of your work!👌😍
To my mind THE greatest racing driver ever, to have the control and balance of driving the car at pace through tight and twisty roads whilst maintaining and having perfect control of his cig and sparking it whilst driving 😱 bravo sir bravo 👏🏼 better than any current formula 1 driver on the grid at this present moment in time..
The raw footage with just the sound of that gorgeous engine made for an incredibly thrilling video Sam!! Wot a ride that must have been, and holy shit u got some balls for getting that thing
Mostly gearbox sound.
I literally just started driving two days ago and can now appreciate stuff like this a lot more
Amazing video Sam you are bloody brave!!! Well done on smashing the content as usual!
Sam.. from my heart thank you, thank you for sharing this ..
truly of the top 5 videos i ever seen in my life..
These type of videos are the reason for this channels name.. pls do more of these!
So amazing. Macari is fucking legend as are you for doing that !!! Joe macari is the definition of badass 😂
this is called being a youtuber working so hard to make us entertained!!!
Best part is your holding on for life and he's driving and smoking like an everyday commute too work in a Camry is simply amazing
WHAT THE F*CK HE WAS SMOKING WHILE DRIVING +200KPH 😱😱
And I was not happy about my friend smoking on an empty straight highway at 120kph... 😂
And? Normal thing on a German autobahn, maybe normal thing for him too. The car was most definitely not on its limit,
betaich I don't mind the speed, smoking at the wheel is what I find dangerous
Baptiste DL you have been definitely raised differently than I was
He's a boss.
This is certainly one of the best videos ever to being put on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing this!
one of the best video i ve seen on a car channel
Watched that from start to finish EPIC can't get anymore Italian than that Sam looking forward to your new machine to come ;)
As Italian as it can get, driving a racecar while still holding your sigarette 😂
Driver is Joe Macari from Aldershot
MBP 1 May have been born and lives in the UK but sounds very Italian...
Macari, born in Aldershot to parents from Monte Cassino, Italy
Shayan Bokaie: Macari sounds Italian, were you born in Italy?
Joe Macari: No, I was born in the UK, but I used to spend all summer there as a kid. I thought it was because my parents loved me, but it was actually to get us out of the way for the summer. Grandma could look after us better than they could. We went under their feet (chuckles).

Racing an MC12 GT1 with no helmet and smoking a cigarette is the kind of old school badassery we lack a lot today ! Huge thumbs up to Joe and Sam for hurting himself for all of us haha

Lockdown is a bit of a pest but it has enabled me to watch a whole heap of really great TH-cam stuff......including this! Joe Macari is a quality chap.
Raw video footage , just brilliant Sam 👍 loved it . One of the best . Looked like you enjoyed it , and the chap driving with a tab on . Lol only in mad Italy.
Still one of the best car videos out there
Best TH-cam video I have seen in quite some time.
The casual cigarette while going flat out makes this one of the best videos on TH-cam. Forgot about your safety for a minute there Sam
Probably the best video I have ever seen in TH-cam. Congrats.
BEST FOOTAGE EVER!!! Hes even got a ciggy 😂 👌 thanks mate!!
Classsic! Quite rightly unedited and highly entertaining. Bravo!
this was one of the best videos i've watched on youtube in a while.
Haha just a casual durry as he hoons a Maza MC12 up the road flat knackers, surprised he didn't have a short black espresso in the other hand
That's one of the best in-car videos I've ever seen.
still your most insane video sam... love to rewatch this
One of the most Italian racing videos I've ever seen! Mc12, cigarets and no helmets. Bapido bapido 👌 awesome!
Wow on the edge of my chair all the way. you nailed it. Pleeeeeease more of this i'm sure othere veiwers would like this too. would have liked to seen the speedo. wow, wow, wow.
It's the moment you realize that it isn't a cigarette it's a fat dank!
Such a cool video, loved the fact Joe smoked the whole way too! Only in Italy! ...bravo!
Joe Macari, what an absolute legend!
Best driving edit on TH-cam!
you wont forget that ride as long as you live in years to come it will be a beautiful treasured memory, not repeatable in a modern HS&E over PC world...
Best and most exhilarating video on TH-cam. Good job.
That car sounds insane! Sick video 👌🏻
Sounded so good, inside and out! Thanks!
Seen Through Glass bet it sounded unreal in person haha
The fact that this guy smoked a cigarette the entire time makes this the greatest fucking video I have ever seen in my entire life!
That mc12 must have been pretty slow.. due the the weight of Joe’s steel cahunas in there. Possibly the best POV on TH-cam, love the channel!
Joe macari thrashing the MC12 and casually smoking haha, legendary!!
You are so lucky that you have a chance to ride in one of the legendary super cars I really admire you and envying you for such a unique opportunity
Great video...never seen so much 1st gear driving clearly much broader range but still fascinating
The driver is proper badass! Casually smoking while driving an utterly insane car at face bending speed. Joe Macari is a legend!
(halfway up the course)
"Hey, Sam, remember when I said this car was death proof? Well, that wasn't a lie. This car is 100% death proof. Only to get the benefit of it, honey, you REALLY need to be sitting in my seat."
Oh my god.!!!! EPIC is not the word!!
quite possibly the best video I've ever watched!
That's one cool dude, smoking a tab driving like that.....RESPECT
Well I must say I am so happy for you and that ride. It looked like one hell of a run again huge congrats. I must say though that reminds me of going out on a boat doing 80 plus miles and hour on the lake. You gotta hold on for dear life then as well especially when the waves start to kick.

Thanks for the unique footage dude!
Man, this dude is EPIC. Casually smoking cigar and digging through his pockets while burning down the freaking road.
