The more I watch Matt, the more I realize how good he is at driving, his launches are almost perfect every run he does. There’s so many people who find it hard to get those perfect.
I love Richard’s personality, my man knows everything about his car, he looks so happy to do the drag race and just looks like a mad man who loves doing things to his cars and experiment with it
He was a natural in front of the camera, really enjoyed his enthusiasm and knowledge on the love of his life. Him and Matt at the end like two peas in a very small pod. Very enjoyable. Richard needs to come back and drag race other electric cars and give his thoughts on them.....
I've only been watching carwow for a few months, but watching Matt seal laugh trying to do donuts in the Beatle genuinely warmed my heard and made me laugh a bit. Good on ya mate.
Richard is a decent dude he seems genuine you can tell he loves cars he needs to be a regular, would love to see you yianni and Richard do drag races from now on.
Richard is awesome: really jolly, great lamb chops, and his facial expressions when racing are great! Please bring him back regularly! Oh, and this was one of the most fun races on the channel ever, just as fun as the Chiron vs the F1 car!
That's the best drag race you've ever done! Richard's a great guy and I want one of those Beetles! I've never seen Mat so animated about a car, maybe other than the Rimac...says everything!
Old cars getting a new lease of life from a Tesla motor is actually an amazing idea! I hope manufactures catch on to it and start producing Miata like cars with ev motors instead of crossovers
Truly Amazing! This is the race where I guess Matt had fun the most. You guys are the Best to race in World's Greatest Drag Race. I had a great laugh in this video. Thank you and you guys are so cool.
I’m pretty certain it was the car that Guy Martin tried to do his record breaking run in. If it is, they took it to a wind tunnel. Without mods it would have taken off.
Current top gear isn't that bad. Yeah we should forget about the Chris Evans season, but the others are all at the very least decent. And IMO current top gear is definitely better than the first season and the last few eps of the grand tour. Like I love the old gang, but they have lost some of their magic. (2nd and 3rd season of GT were pretty good though)
@@MisticDW Chris Harris is definitely a better car journalist than even all 3 combined and with paddy and Freddie it's pretty funny as well. Why the need to keep hating on it? Just be happy we have a good, big budget car show there are very few of those left. In my experience most people hating on current top gear haven't even watched the recent episodes, because it's not the trio. Just give it a chance and be open minded. It's not like the trio is so amazing themselves. Season 1 of the grand tour for example was an absolute dumpster fire IMO. Thankfully they got a bit on track the later seasons, but the last 2 specials felt horribly scripted again and just weren't that great. I'd watch, but wouldn't watch it twice unlike top gear.
@@markeldik7057 I don't care, I want to be entertained, if I want car journalism I'll read a magazine, I'm hating because the show is dead without the trio, they should have just killed of Top Gear. I'm not alone, TG used to be one of the most watched shows in the world for a reason, now it's not.
It's always such a pleasure to watch your videos. Your enthusiasm is so genuine and wonderfully British. Such a relief from the phony America presenters I see so often on TH-cam. It's watching videos like this that makes me miss living in London. After 20 years living in SE Asia I've become a scooter rider which is not quite as exciting as the vehicles you get to drive. That having been said the streets of Saigon can be pretty scary at times.
Best guest that's EVER been on Carwow... this guy is a fking legend, yet you can see he enjoys life to the max as a humble man!!! Get him here permanently...
I’d say that was a win for the beetle, he won the drag race, he got a much a better start in the rolling race, it’s not his fault his car max’s out at 130mph. That Beetle is rapid
I already quite liked Richard because he makes some cool stuff. After seeing him encourage this hoonery I can only say he went up greatly in my estimation. What a top lad getting you to fry tyres for the fans.
I’ve been watching this channel for years and It’s been quite a while since Mat has been this entertained. Watching Mat made me laugh because he was laughing and having so much fun with this one ! 🤣🤣👍🏻 I hope we see Richard come back in more videos in the future !
This guy Richard is just awesome. And the Pairing with Mat is just mind blowingly awesome. We need Richard to be a regular feature on drag races going forward just like Yanni.
You guys just cracked me up !! I had fun just watching, can't imagine how much fun you two had . Going by your smiling faces, I'd say it was a blast. Thanks for the video !
Carwow yall should bring Richard back again! That guy's a whole different mood man! Awesome drag race! A race between Mat, Yianni and Richard would be cool as hell lol
that second race where the Beetle just edges the Porsche, in all the races I’ve watched in car wow I’ve never rooted for a car to win like I did the Beetle. I actually felt proud afterwards then just remembered underneath it’s no beetle that sleeper!
Oh my goodness :D. A 450hp classic Beetle with Tesla motors niceeee :D. Could you do more drag races with a modern performance car against a modified EV classic? :)
That beetle is honestly increadible, the gt3 rs is such a weapon and that beetle just drives away, even if its shape is definitely not made for high speeds
"The Porsche loses a meter every time I shift gears" - Mat Watson. "I'm going to start this rolling race in first gear so I have to shift six times" - Also Mat Watson
"That is the story of my life" the best dialogue ever in carwow history. I laughed really hard but was also jealous cause Matt is living the dream man.
What’s your favourite carwow video?

The Chiron vs F1 car and this one :D

Yea Mat is a funny guy.

Is that quote expressed by your "fried" enjoying torturing your car🤔 👀 😳 😕 😏 🤣

Yes. I think Richard and Yanni would make a great addition to have more often.

Yeah mate, I would love to see more of his classical EV cars
totally agree
Or just replace him completely
The more I watch Matt, the more I realize how good he is at driving, his launches are almost perfect every run he does. There’s so many people who find it hard to get those perfect.

Fancy seeing you here @NURK FPV. I have a car channel and a quad one… I mean I see you on things like Mark Rober, but a random comment on car wow 😜
Nurk! Your videos are what inspired me to build and fly quads. I think cars and quads go hand in hand. It's the same mechanical/electrical tinkering.
@@Tzuau78 yes he's a normal human just like us...
The same here. It looked like what cars like that are supposed to be.
Pure fun.
YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO DO NAME REVEALS!,
One must consider the aerodynamic drag on the Beetle is much higher at speed. Good stuff.
The drag and the shape in all, is like it has basically no down force, but is just about to take off!
Richard is a decent dude he seems genuine you can tell he loves cars he needs to be a regular, would love to see you yianni and Richard do drag races from now on.
"Do you know how fast you were going?"
"No, the speedometer only goes to 100mph".

@@kouroshnaderyofficial cool
mostly because it weighs nothing, modern cars will never be as light as older ones
@@Pia-ho9dm its bot
Should've given Richard the specialist timing gear to see what his top speed was
Looking at GT3 speedo it seems like it max out at ~130mph.
I'd say a little less than 130mph cos at 128mph Matt was gaining on him, so he may have topped out at 126/127mph.
Aside from Yanni, i think Richard needs to feature more often with his electric cars. Top bloke!
yanni ??

Truly Amazing! This is the race where I guess Matt had fun the most. You guys are the Best to race in World's Greatest Drag Race. I had a great laugh in this video. Thank you and you guys are so cool.
I’m more amazed by the fact that the beetle was THAT stable at higher speeds! Amazing drag race guys!
