Went to full throttle raceway in august for my sons 16th birthday, got so track was fast. Think I got a low 22, my main aim was making sure I did a faster lap than a load of teenagers 🤣
@@johnnunn8688 Of all possible EV choices at that time, Nissan Leaf was neither the most beautiful nor the one with the best battery longevity (limitations of thermal management). Also the Chademo plug and the relatively high energy consumption are not exactly on the plus side of EV features. On the plus side: Replacement batteries are relatively cheap and the car is solid.
Thank's very much Geoff for this video. You and Lee have so much fun together! (It looks like tho..) Please continue your both good work!! 🙂🙂I'm look forward to every video you and Lee comes out with every day! 🙂
Another Fine vlog from you and Lee, you guys really work together well, helping each other while not stepping on each others toes, Its a partnership not a competition. Love it!!!
I bet 80 year old Alan could beat Lee 🤣 Only joking, Lee's a big lad and it makes so much difference in a cart. Thats a great little track, I went there on a stag do a few years back and did a full grand prix style event really great day.
Really enjoyed this video Geoff good bit of driving there from you both. I'll have to get down there and see how I stand up lol. Loved the Funhouse-esc music too haha
That looked like great fun. Lovely you both.. and good on Lee being up for it too. He gave it a good whirl. I'd love to go karting some day too. I'd probably be in the Lee category.. mind you, I could be in the Geoff one too.. depends I suppose.. Main thing is the Fun of it though!
Good evening GEOFF it's so nice of you and LEE having a track race. In Stourbridge my home town 👍 by the way is the race track on mill race lane just after the ring road?
Karting is a lot of fun, but it can be dangerous in more ways than you could imagine. I was at the local race track here in Capetown many years ago and they've got a fantastic kart track there too, I was leaning up against a wall scoffing a burger one afternoon when a chap blew his engine on track and the gudgeon pin from the engine smacked the wall just above my head with such energy that it took a chunk out of a brick, just a couple of inches lower and I probably wouldn't have known anything about it.
Come over and visit Geoff. Lee will have a blast here. We have had a ruff couple of weather events but beautiful day in Brisbane Australia today. Thanks for the video
Lee just needed a better line to keep his speed up. I dont think hes really a racing guy but he made a pretty huge improvement, just shy of a 2 second improvement is damn good.
Nice close cuts on that line, and handling of that nasty transition from the upper deck to the lower deck. That corner looks really nasty to maintain good control and traction on as it is quite steep. But please! More motoring with Lee / MacMaster, win or lose they are great videos!
Geoff you need to read the viz comic great British self-drive electric vehicle race off - it might explain how Lee failed to get to Lands End (but it runs in reverse to your route)
Those guys with the 125cc and 250cc go karts , they Fly ! And turn on a dime ! Better than Formula 1 , and you hit the wall going slower , which is a huge Bonus
I went go-karting. What a disaster. I’m absolutely crap at it. I went there on my motorcycle and had to wear my own crash-helmet - none of theirs fitted. It was raining. I went off the track into some hay-bales. One of them shot straight up in the air. On the way down, it hit my crash-helmet and smashed the visor. I had to attempt to tape it up for my ride home. Never again! 😂😂
Prety cool track, seems very similar to one used on Tom Bailey's USA drag n drive event... Have a rematch to see the better driver by adding weight to Geoffs to have them equal all up weight.. Chuckle.... 🤔😄👍🇬🇧
What Geoff says: “A few laps edited to show us both on the track.” What we see: A few laps edited to show aaaall of Geoff’s overtakes. 😂🤣😆 What do you think? 😂
Gotta say it Geoff not stealing your thunder a bit ,, BUT !! Macmaster weighs a Tonne and your tiny so kart will be quicker.. Your a natural racer i can see that from Donnington etc but in these toy karts size and weight is important..
I have 2 gold helmets from karting, your forearms really feel it after karting. It’s great fun isn’t it. All jokes aside I do possess 2 gold winner trophy’s from Team sport that was near us, was because it burnt down 😂
Lee was commentating throughout all his laps and I believe he deserves a second or 2, deducted from his best lap. His concentration wouldn't have been 100%, to be fair.
Geoff. i would love to go to stourbridge and spank your time but if i haven't got Lee to pass 4 times then it wouldn't be a fair comparison. Lee was like carrying a bag of cement with him because he's a big lad. i am a similar height to you i think. Lets get it on. i have raced karts three times in my life so i'm not experienced in any way but i am a massive petrol head who loves to drive quick. that little track looks cool. how much quicker would your lap times have been if you hadn't had to pass captain slow i wonder??? Happy to meet you there if you are up for it? i will pay.
I miss these days when people just posted videos of themselves just having fun.
Lee "Driving Miss Daisy" McMaster 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
awh go on. he made a good effort. it's the fun part of it!
Geoff bringing the Black Country accent to the world. Good man!
Lee is always going to be behind you Geoff... and I say that before even seeing the video 😁
Went to full throttle raceway in august for my sons 16th birthday, got so track was fast. Think I got a low 22, my main aim was making sure I did a faster lap than a load of teenagers 🤣
Low 21 is very respectable!
I know the feeling mate, my only aim was to beat my kids on the day 😂😂😂
👀👀 It's a great fun to watch you guys. Thanks.🙃👍
Lets be honest, Lee is more of a Nissan Leaf type of guy rather than a Porsche Taycan
Let's be even more honest. You're more of a Fully Charged Show subscriber, rather than a Geoff Buys Cars one.
😅
Are you saying Nissan Leaf owners are hopeless drivers?

........Panther De Ville
Fun 😁 fun
And great lap times Geoff and Lee
Fun video
Great journey to Aus Lee 🇬🇧
Go Karting is a fun but rather protracted way of finding out who is the lightest and who is the fattest person on the track
Geoff should have had 2 paving slabs on his lap 😅
At least Lee didn't have to worry about keep stopping to charge this time and virtually arrived at the same time as Geoff... lol
Thank's very much Geoff for this video. You and Lee have so much fun together! (It looks like tho..) Please continue your both good work!! 🙂🙂I'm look forward to every video you and Lee comes out with every day! 🙂

Perfect warm up for a track😎 day
I bet 80 year old Alan could beat Lee 🤣 Only joking, Lee's a big lad and it makes so much difference in a cart. Thats a great little track, I went there on a stag do a few years back and did a full grand prix style event really great day.
That's an "interesting" racing line from Lee. Dude was so far off it, he was practically driving a completely different circuit.
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Really enjoyed this video Geoff good bit of driving there from you both. I'll have to get down there and see how I stand up lol. Loved the Funhouse-esc music too haha
Liked & Subscribed. Enjoyed meeting you both. 👍🏁
🏎️💨
I was there when they were recording. You can spot me at 5:28 on the right in the red Balaclava. Edit; also at 9:30
Great to see go cart tracks still open after the pathetic lockdowns parents this is a great way for your kids to learn to drive at a young age.
That looked like great fun. Lovely you both.. and good on Lee being up for it too. He gave it a good whirl.
I'd love to go karting some day too. I'd probably be in the Lee category.. mind you, I could be in the Geoff one too.. depends I suppose.. Main thing is the Fun of it though!

That was fun! Great video, Geoff. 🏎️🏎️🏎️🏎️😊😊
Great stuff , might give it a go . I used to be ok back in the 1990s , .
Lee beats himself, and not for the first time 😉
Good to see you at Donington...it was a tad blowy, this time! I've never been go-karting...might have to give it a whirl 🤔
Oh wow never thought I'd see my old boss Paul on TH-cam lol worked there as a race marshall when I was 18
Looks like an awsome track!
great vid!
good fun!

Love you two guys working together. Geoff you must be in an EV for a race so Lee can have a win. He won’t put up with losing. You are both winners.
Come over and visit Geoff. Lee will have a blast here. We have had a ruff couple of weather events but beautiful day in Brisbane Australia today. Thanks for the video
i'd love to but i can't afford it...! haha. 2 kids.
This is my local my track fastest was 23.8. I’m gonna have to down and “beat the you-tubers”. Excellent video Geoff mate.
Lee is twice the weight of Geoff lol and Geoff knows 90% of the track already, so i feel for Lee somewhat 😂
Looked great fun. Lee's flight is 16.5 hours, he must be mad !!
Great video Geoff and he drives a suppository a quick car = he must of been looking after his range 🤣🤣🤣
Lee just needed a better line to keep his speed up. I dont think hes really a racing guy but he made a pretty huge improvement, just shy of a 2 second improvement is damn good.
In Lee's defence he is full of Costa, batter and doughnuts and must be 3 stone heavier in the same Powered car lol
Geoff had the advantage of having driven the track before, so he knew Karting AND the track, while Lee didn't.
Hence he wins this one!
That looked a lot of fun and for a change Lee didn't have to stop to charge! Any more challenges in the future? 😀
Geoff glad you both had a great day, how long before an update on how soon your times was beaten.
Beating a telly tubbie is nothing to be proud of 😂😂😂 😈 what's the purple one called!!! O yes Lee 🤣🤣 jokeing funny video 👍
Actually, Lee drove in a very responsible manner. I find he gave off that same aura EV drivers have....LOL Just kidding Lee!!!!
This was fun! Cheers
Loved the way you set off and tried to warm your tyres up like the do in F1 lol
Nice close cuts on that line, and handling of that nasty transition from the upper deck to the lower deck.
That corner looks really nasty to maintain good control and traction on as it is quite steep.
But please! More motoring with Lee / MacMaster, win or lose they are great videos!
I reckon you could have got Lee to go faster if you had told him, it wouldn't cost him 40 grand if he damaged the kart. 😂
GEOFF I think that you should teach LEE. The YAM YAM Black county language 😂
I told you to keep the kart at FULL THROTTLE , and it worked 😂😂
This was fun😊gokarts are very fun to drive
what's phil mitchel doing running a go-kart track ?
Cracking little track,
very sporting of you Geoff,
to do the dad thing
and let Lee win a challenge finally haha
Guys that was cool,but how much heavier is the Macmaster than you. Because in those carts it will make a difference ?
it will hit the fan when the vangerlist see lee in a petrol motor
Geoff you need to read the viz comic great British self-drive electric vehicle race off - it might explain how Lee failed to get to Lands End (but it runs in reverse to your route)
Those guys with the 125cc and 250cc go karts , they Fly ! And turn on a dime ! Better than Formula 1 , and you hit the wall going slower , which is a huge Bonus
Great fun guys.
Cool 👍👍
Oooo, good skills. Bring yourself up towards hull and give it a go up here.
When will the Podcast be released with the Doc?
A strategic wee on the track -
_it was a litre of vegetable oil really_
GOOD driving Geoff!!
thank you! Track day video coming next.
Should be a sweepstake on how many times Lee visits a toilet.
Lovely description from the owner of ‘turn in’ wholly confused with understeer vs. oversteer 😢
Now hes proved he drives like the local vicar I think we should name him Reverend Lee
Next time should be a handicapped race, Geoff carries extra weight to match Lee
Like a 1000 portions of fish n chips type weight?
@@peter_peter_pumpkin_eater 🤣🤣🤣
I reckon the MacClickbaiter would be happier driving an actual milk float.
FFS Geoff it's Karting not go karting, brilliant as always, next time your in Cornwall Karting challenge is on.
Ayrton MacMaster just couldn't keep up.... just for a change 🤣🤣🤣
That track layout looks like it’d work better anti-clockwise 🤔, can’t really say why lol, just a feeling.
I went go-karting. What a disaster. I’m absolutely crap at it. I went there on my motorcycle and had to wear my own crash-helmet - none of theirs fitted. It was raining. I went off the track into some hay-bales. One of them shot straight up in the air. On the way down, it hit my crash-helmet and smashed the visor. I had to attempt to tape it up for my ride home. Never again! 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂🎉
@@GeoffBuysCars - my mates were pissing themselves at my immense ineptitude in the field of go-kart racing. I was off the track more than I was on it.
Prety cool track, seems very similar to one used on Tom Bailey's USA drag n drive event... Have a rematch to see the better driver by adding weight to Geoffs to have them equal all up weight.. Chuckle.... 🤔😄👍🇬🇧
Great fun!
Absolutely karting in maidenhead has a similar track design as Stourbridge
You’ve got the racing line, and there’s what Lee was doing😅how was your track day? Gutted they sold out when I tried to book!
What Geoff says:
“A few laps edited to show us both on the track.”
What we see:
A few laps edited to show aaaall of Geoff’s overtakes. 😂🤣😆
What do you think? 😂
100%. ha ha....!!
Lee, go big or go home bud. Don't let that young whipper show you his bumper. Remember your pit maneuver. LOL
Well to be honnest I was thinking to myself "if Macmaster win I effin eat my shoe". Yea that didnt happen did it? 😄
I got told off by several Karters at a race meeting for calling them Go Karts. Next contest: peeing up a wall.......
Obviously, Lee was preoccupied during the sessions, planning his charging stop near a fish n chip shop for his home journey in the milk float.
I thought u were faster than lee geoff it was a fair race brilliant track to go around on go karts
Oh yes I am up for it.
At last Lee wane a challenge 👏 👏 😂
Geoff Drives Karts! 😂
Prima entertainment ! 👌🤠
I think Lee was experiencing degenerative braking, and you Geoff are used to having no brakes.
Proper fun that 👌
Gotta say it Geoff not stealing your thunder a bit ,, BUT !! Macmaster weighs a Tonne and your tiny so kart will be quicker.. Your a natural racer i can see that from Donnington etc but in these toy karts size and weight is important..
Get Alan down there. Probly wipe the effin floor with the effin pair of you young whippersnappers. Safe travels Lee.
Well done Lee. Ya boo Geoff 😝
Even in my 2 years retired broken ass body form, I have no doubt I can 🤣
I have 2 gold helmets from karting, your forearms really feel it after karting. It’s great fun isn’t it.
All jokes aside I do possess 2 gold winner trophy’s from Team sport that was near us, was because it burnt down 😂
did lee stop to charge ot of habit? as part of his A B C THING But Geoff should be carrying a few sandbags to play the weight handycap
Bet you found it hard to get yer head in that crash helmet the second run Geoff 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Have you seen the latest video by MGUY in Australia? He discusses another video about the slight EV lithium battery problems. Oh dear.
Come to Adelaide Lee, I'll buy you a big breakfast 😊!
Lee was commentating throughout all his laps and I believe he deserves a second or 2, deducted from his best lap. His concentration wouldn't have been 100%, to be fair.
What if Alan could have joined?!
Used to go here every year when I was a kid, set the lap record at 12 only to get beat by the owners son 😭 gutted
ABC:
Always
Be
Chasing
😂😂😂
ICE vs EV... who's the real winner?? Who knows... too much fun was had!!😁😁
Geoff. i would love to go to stourbridge and spank your time but if i haven't got Lee to pass 4 times then it wouldn't be a fair comparison.
