Hey Danny!👋🏼 I really enjoyed this episode, mate, especially seeing you teaming up with Tim Harvey. That's amazing! Two legends, one car. Now I'm very much anticipating the next installment. The Suzuki Swift Challenge looks to be something special indeed. Shoutout to the lads next door for building the fifth Swift in such short order.👏🏽 That was no small feat. Let's see if she holds up to the challenge. While I'm here, I'll also give you a shoutout for jumping in there and helping the other guys turning spanners and spending time behind the wheel to help 'em out. Bravo! That's pure love for the sport and great camaraderie!👍🏼 Back to the special guest star, he is certainly no stranger to Silverstone. If anyone reading this is too young to remember the early 90s very well, I encourage you to go back and watch Mr. Harvey secure his 1992 BTCC championship driving a BMW 318iS at Silverstone. He, Hoy, and Cleland were in a 3-way battle for the championship, so everything was on the line. That was one of the most well-matched, exciting, edge of the seat, (yes, all the adjectives), nail-biters in all of motorsports, imo. And to spice it up even more, there was a controversial clash between Cleland and Soper (Tim Harvey's teammate who was making his way back through the pack like a beast). There was a classic moment in motorsports commentary thrown in there by Murray Walker during a pivotal pass, too.😅 Look it up. You will not be disappointed (unless, maybe your name is Cleland)😉 Sorry for the old man ramble. Anyway, I haven't said it in a while Dan, so here I am... Thanks again for taking the time to record and edit all these epic videos. You're the genuine Benuine and we love you, dude! Merry Christmas!
Those boxsters were hilarious 😂 braking so early and then by the next corner completely out braking themselves 😂. Mixed series motorsport has a lovely way of highlighting the difference between those that can afford to race and those that can race
I'm only 5 mins into this but fucking ay' Dan, its hard to believe this shit i'm seeing.. This keen young lad who went on track days who i have always thought deserved more subs.. And here you are sharing a car with Tim Harvey at fucking Silverstone..! I have said it so many times, how has this lad got so few subs, its criminal! Much love, preesh and respect Dan. I know you struggle with the shit mentally sometimes but know that you are a good egg you are with a good head on your shoulders - and i have nothing but respect for you, the things you have done and achieved. Merry Xmas buddy.
Quality Christmas pressie right here man...👌 Merry crimbo to you and all you're loved ones ❤ Thanks for all the epic content over this year and have a great 2025 💪💯
Loved this being a swift owner I can’t wait to watch the championship. It’s crazy how sensitive the swift is to tyre pressure, can be night and day with just 1 psi… 33 front 30.5 rear is the sweet spot for me driving a 32s on the road.
@DannyDC2 You should have a chat to Leon and have a test drive in his radical. Would make a great video. This was a nice one to watch. All the best for 2025!
It’s terrible when you’re named Burns and your car catches fire! Tim is such a pro, default dry performance is the same as wet performance. Top boy. Throughly enjoyable watch as always Danny. Merry Crimbo mate 👍🏼🎅🏼
Great video Dan! Birkett is great fun…. You wasn’t the only one who had “fun” with the slower Porsches 😂 worse this year but last year it was those and the Jaguars playing road block and I’m in a Ford Puma ffs 😂
What a great experience, Tim seems like a top bloke. The Swifts look like a lot of fun as well. We were racing Minis, just glad it was my team mate who was being overtaken by Tim on the restart and not me! We were also on the same tyre as you, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing how you get on in the sprint race with them, especially as we're racing on them in our series next year. I'll be needing some tips! Hope you have a great Christmas.
A worthy vid could be …. You stringing a car up on track and showing the difference of (for instance) 1 thou toe out , 1 thou toe in , parallel etc Showing the differences what these changes do to the cars characteristics 🤘

Well said mate, respect.
That was totally epic Christmas time viewing. Thanks Dan.
Absolutely class, top work. Looking forward to the sprint race!
Fun Fact: Tim's flat shifting won him the 92 BTCC title. Nothing else happened at all
real
Great content, so much drama and no shops were lost! Keep it coming mate.
I bought my Clio 182 Cup off Tim…16/17 years ago. Absolute gentleman!
Super video Dan. Can't wait for the sprint race.
Timbo on the brakes on that wet restart makes for pleasant viewing.
At last something to watch on TH-cam....cheers mate...merry Christmas
Love a bit of slow car fast. Also enjoyed the various sound bites - Nurby TF siren and sega rally were the highlights.
Mega video. Sharing the car with Mr. Harvey is a treat. Well done! Cant wait to see the sprint race.
Quality Christmas pressie right here man...👌 Merry crimbo to you and all you're loved ones ❤ Thanks for all the epic content over this year and have a great 2025 💪💯
Loved seeing Tim find the reheat function in the Swift, sounded nice 👌
Love that you called it reheat 🤣
Big BTCC fanboy here, great to see you driving alongside Tim.
Nice little DDC2 Christmas special! Merry Christmas Dan 🎅🏻

Tims just sitting in the car like its a Sunday afternoon sim race
Hope you have a nice Christmas dude 👊🏼

Definitely a Porsche thing. I get the same at track days 😆
Great video Dan 👌
Tim's a legend 🙌
Great watch to start Christmas Day off. Imagine sharing a car with Tim Harvey!!
yeah, imagine :D
Ahh the geometry specialist back out again ;)
Great video Dan 👍🏻
Great video Dan! Birkett is great fun…. You wasn’t the only one who had “fun” with the slower Porsches 😂 worse this year but last year it was those and the Jaguars playing road block and I’m in a Ford Puma ffs 😂
The legend, sharing a car with a legend! Dream team ❤

Which Mini series has the Davantis too? They seem ok for a control tyre
@@dannyDC2 Mini Challenge Clubsport, we'll be running them for the first time in 2025.
One hand on the wheel, the other on the knee. Just like a nice sunday drive 😅.
Great viewing , hope theres a few more over Christmas, 2 weeks off for me 👍
Cheers Russ.....🍻
Glad you listened to me on the Hyundai pronunciation. 😂
so that's where it came from
It should be pronounced to rhyme with Sunday not sun-die.
@@samuelgarrod8327 speak for yourself
Love how you get more yorkshireish when talking to other yorkshire men 😂 another great vid mate 👍
Default to factory setting lol
Doesn’t matter if it’s a race like this or a track day there is always a Porche or 7 that you just shake your head at.
Jolly Christmas time!
A great video
Those Alfa Romeos out on circuit are cool to see. Much faster than I expected
very cool
That black Porsche really was driving like a nob.
i don't think that's fair, just a bit slow in the corners
Good video!

Showing the differences what these changes do to the cars characteristics 🤘
it's all subjective, 1 thou isn't going to do a lot lol
@ - 1 thou / secounds was a example lol ,,
But you could show it however you deem correct 🙌🏻
But a “track setup” style video and the effects
🔥🔥🔥
Banger after banger 💪
Good job avoiding that white boxster. That definitely didnt seem like a smart move on their part. You reacted about how I would've done.
This was like a track day the way some of these people drive. Certainly not the level of driving from others normally in your videos.
That’s the fun of the Birkett Relay! (I think)
Was it a “bring your nan along for a drive” in the Boxster championship or what?
The American thing is a 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda.
nice
Why was there the sound of nurburgring nordschleife touristenfahrten at @2:18
Why not
You'll be sharing a Mustang at Goodwood with Steve Soper next!
fingers crossed!
Just wondering, why does Tim not do rev matching on the down shifts?
He does a lot. The internet must realise one day that some of the fastest drivers don’t though 😅
@ Fair enough, must’ve missed it. I was under the impression you should do it.
Maybe today is that day!
Merry Christmas!
Basically, Yellowspeed Coilovers are shit.
Good vid though Dan 👍🏼
Not at all. Never had an issue on my EG
Nothing wrong with yellowspeeds the BCs on my old ep3 done exactly the same
Ah, Mr salad fingers 😂
Or did he share a race car with you?
🤔
Who built that car ffs, everything loose. Not a great advert for the club to put you in a badly built car
Great fun to watch on chrimbo morning.
Bit harsh, don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a few teething problems on a brand new series with parts undergoing their first proper test
@dannyDC2 a torque wrench isn't too extravagant when you're putting another driver in a car you've built.
couldn't be much ruder to Scott, he's talking to you and you just move on
what when?!
