i made a 24 Hour race by bicycle on the Nurburgring (Germany). The feeling of working in a team 24 hours a day is overwhelming. I can very well understand the enthusiasm of the participants. It doesn't matter what kind of event you do 24 hours a day, it's always a special experience. A great event and I think the participants had a lot of fun
I'm sorry but 24h working for a cycling race team doesn't look like much work · Each lap is like 10 minutes long · No big crashes or mechanical problems possible · Cycling endurance races usually involve 5-6 riders instead of 3 drivers like professional motorsport endurance racing
I did the same. First year our league did such an event. We fielded 2 cars under 2 names, but the same 10 'staff'. Team 1 was actually 6 individuals, our best drivers and engineer. Team 2 was 3 drivers plus me as crew. Our 'Pro' car won the event. Only just. But that's all it takes. The team I worked on I THINK ended the race in 4th, but I would need to go back and check the record books. (of which, I was on the box a combined total of 16 of the 24 hours, I didn't drive, I have no talent around the track). I coordinated driver changes and pit stop cycles for our car. One driver could nap, take a stint on the box while I got some rest, the other driver would crew, and they could switch out driver duties as they wished while I was asleep. you don't NEED a crewman for pit stops, but it sure does help. I've since hung up from racing in the league. I was GOOD when we had 60 drivers. But we've to 400 drivers. I can't compete anymore. BUT I'd love to get into crew/spotter roles instead. I fielded 2 cars in 2022 for 2 events. the first event was my other driver's first league start ever. in an LMP1 at Watkins Glen for a 2 hour event. I spotted him to a P4 in his split. I .... Did far worse.. I was also in a GT3. Kinda told me right then and there I'd be best suited for spotter/crew duties than driving as such a high level.
I've just had my first Geekgasm/Nerdgasm! 🤣 This is brilliant! This must be exhausting for the teams, drivers and race officials. Especially the race officials, who must have to concentrate far harder than the drivers in order to keep 'track' of everything? Actually exhausting in equal measure for all involved, no doubt, so well done all! ✌️❤️👍

I've come to this a little late; only watched the 2018 this morning but I love it already. Love how you start just like the real race under a pace car. Awesome.
"Back in the day . . . " slot car racing had a handful of well knowns that could get sponsorship from the parts and kit manufacturers. It was about at the level of how skate boarding is now, at least from my then young teenager vantage point. They'd be guys in their late teens or early twenties; long hair, bell bottoms, etc. That was 1/24 scale in the U.S.A. I was into 1/32 scale and fabricated as much as I could of the chassis by soldering up brass sheet, tubing and rods. Never rewound a motor though. It's a great hobby to learn various skills a young person can use in other facets of life for ever.
Receiving something for participation is fine depending on why people receives it. If it is just a token to say I participated in this event then that is fine as everyone gets one include those that get trophies. If people receive it because someone else doesn't want someone to feel bad because they didn't win, that is stupid and not okay.
slot car has came a long way since i last was racing. Before if you had like a 6-8 slot track thats all the cars you could have. changing lanes didnt exist which is awesome they added. I may have to check about getting back into it.
Well. This could have been soo good but the terrible camera handling and weak speaker voice was not good. Is there any other place they covered this in better quality?
Ok excuse my ignorance 😊. But how do you win if there’s only 4 lanes and can’t change? Is it just the most laps wins the race ? Again I’m totally new to this.
I remember as a kid growing up, I had the TYCO/AFX tracks. One was the Super Dooper Double Looper and it was awesome! Such great memories but NOTHING like these tracks and cars. WOW!
hey .. i live in "bad SODEN" ... :D are you our lost king? maybe if you come back home to take your throne .. we might lose the "bad" (just to make it clear .. the word "bad" come from "hot baths" and i think the english word for that would be something like "spa") but still .. please your highness .. please come home!
Not realistic at all. The speed is not scaled down for the TC cars. Watch as they go through the corners. The G-force would kill the drivers. Speed might be okay if they didn't have slots. No fishtails or spin outs. Not even fun to watch. Like a kids toy.
Your camera skill is terrible. Stop doing the fast camera pan from screen right to left - can’t see anything. Keep the camera stationary 75% of the time and let us watch. Stop trying to micromanage what we should see by swinging the camera around.
In the late 70s my Uncle who worked for Hornby used to get the track for free out of the skip at the back of the factory ( inperfect parts), I had a 70ft track set up in the garden had to use 2 power supplies as the cars used to slow down at the furthest part the controlers used to smoke abit though, good times as a kid back then..
I've still got two ninco cars in my cupboard. A mclaren F1 gtr, the winning car from 1997 And Schumacher f1 ferrari. Which steers round the bends. Damned thing could go flat out round any corner.

@@DiegoRuiz1991 it's a lot of work, just nothing compare to the amount of work needed in motorsport
There are 24h cycling on the Bugatti circuit at Le Mans if you are interested 😉
@@DiegoRuiz1991 So what? Still lot's of work involved, no matter the sport. Stop gatekeeping
@@DiegoRuiz1991 You're forgetting how much more physically demanding cycling is than driving a vehicle.
This race is truly insane. Having a go at slot cars 24 hours is tough on You. Brilliant comments and editing. Looking forward to the next part.
this is a tradition to watch every year from your channel, love this content and never stop documenting this!
I did 24 hour race in iracing around spa, the feeling of being in a team that is ticking over for 24 hours is just immense

I plan on doing the same but I don't have a team and it's in Gran Turismo instead of IRacing.
Try it solo then get back to me
@@Bogues_88 that is not fun, the whole fun is racing with a team and having a laugh
No
It's been a very very long time since I last played with slot-cars (scalextric set from the 1980s)...
How do you control the changing of lanes?
I've just had my first Geekgasm/Nerdgasm! 🤣

Wow this is awesome. Didn't know such a race existed.
I haven't figured out how a car can pass another one in front of it in the same slotted lane?

Looking forward to this Johnny and many more races !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
The program alone is outstanding!
Reliving our trouble ridden start did not make for pleasant viewing! Looking forward to it getting better in Part Two 😅
It's not how it starts 😉
Looks great! Would be good to see slow mo crashes with a high FPS camera. Thanks for video.

The effort and skill in this is remarkable. Great stuff I never knew anything like this existed.
How is there skill 😂
@@cordlxze9559 Did you not watch the video? The amount of engineering that actually goes into this is insane
@@cordlxze9559 do they stay full throttle around the corners? I was wondering

Day 1. That can only mean this is going to be a two part epic! Woo hoo!
It is indeed!
24 hrs at 1hr a day means 24 days! 💪
you've gotta be crazy to do that for 24 hours , but each to their own
When I move, my son and I are building one... ... ...and he BETTER stay up!!!
Que coisa mais linda!!!❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Us humans are nuts - love it
Awesome! I had slot cars as a kid in the 60's.
OMG!!! I had an AFX set back in the 70s trying to mimic this course. Truly impressed
The only time in my life I'm cool with participation awards! 🤣
Im an RC guy but this is so badass! 🔥
As a fellow RC guy…after seeing this I’m thinking of seeing whether those at my club would be up for a 24hr race …would be epic for sure lol

Is there an upload of the entire 24 hour race? PLEASE say yes... :)
Very very nice! Thank you for your Great work!!!!!
Does each car have its own slot? If not how do overtakes work?
I’m curious how many tires the teams went through and the rubber buildup in the turns.
This is great, what an effort. :) Gave you a sub.
Race on!
Now to put miniature cameras on the cars and have glasses on as the screen for each driver to view. 😁
Muito bacana essa 24hs.
Lembro de uma 6h no Rio de Janeiro na pista Brothers.
should have turned the lights out for 8 hours to make it realistic!
how long does a set of tires last, or how often do the tires have to be changed in 24 hours?
Was there an artificial night when they turned down the artificial lights?
slot car has came a long way since i last was racing. Before if you had like a 6-8 slot track thats all the cars you could have. changing lanes didnt exist which is awesome they added. I may have to check about getting back into it.
finally another race!!!!!
LOVE THIS!!! My father got me into slot cars in the late 1960's with Eldon. Nice to see this continued. Thanks for sharing.
Hello there - were the race was ?? - So nice to see a long endurance race like these, Im Brazillian....
This event is truely truely fantastic!
I'm looking forward to it every year！

what a great idea!! that's cool!!!
Does anybody know how long the track is? I’d love to know how far the first place car travelled in those 24hrs. The technology is incredible!
Who operates the switches to change lanes ? Was kinda skipping through the video sorry if u mentioned it
this is awesome, im loving every second of it.
Glad to hear that. That's why I make them 👍
I love the close prototypes
thanx for making the film, lots, lots off work good job mate
So great!!!
We had a 6Hours Race on our Track, but 24Hours!!! Wow... 🤩
I cant discribe how much i would lobe this i did a few 24h races on le mans (in gt5) with my dad but this is another level.
Whut
Wow, didn't even know 24-hour slot cars existed. This is awesome.
AWESOME HOBBY 💪💪💪💪
So who won ? How many laps?
Thank you TH-cam algorithm
I don’t really see the point since cars are on tracks, but okay
Honestly, this whole thing is impressive. I love the amount of love that's gone into it.
Are the cars standard like normal scarlextric or supped up in some way?
I notice the fans stayed up all night and never moved from their seats
How does a slot car pit stop work? Geniunely curious about what adjustments are made and what gets fixed.
I'd say mainly the mechanism that keeps the car running smoothly, like the braids and connector.
I remember as a kid growing up, I had the TYCO/AFX tracks. One was the Super Dooper Double Looper and it was awesome! Such great memories but NOTHING like these tracks and cars. WOW!
My only suggestion for next year is Podium Girls
Yeah , and with huge udders he-he
And they must be young and beautiful!
Can i ask how do the cars transfer from one rail to another. ?
When will see the whole filmed race of 2022 Le MANS Race.
Goes live this evening
This is both one of the coolest and nerdiest things I've ever seen.
Fabuloso.Pero podria hacerse a la altura de una mesa?Es que veo a los colaboradores en el suelo.

Mulsanne straight without any chicanes.. bold to say the least!
Once they put tiny cameras on the car and the controller has a monitor this it’ll be in another level
How do they overtake if you're on the same track as the car ahead? 🤔
There are several special sections of track that enable lane changing, just wait for the opportunity and slip passed. 👍
@@stump469 that's cool, thanks!
hey .. i live in "bad SODEN" ... :D are you our lost king? maybe if you come back home to take your throne .. we might lose the "bad"
(just to make it clear .. the word "bad" come from "hot baths" and i think the english word for that would be something like "spa")
but still .. please your highness .. please come home!
Só faltava cada carro possuir uma pequena 📷 com visão em primeira - pessoa apenas para haver mais emoção como se estivesse pilotando o veículo! 🤔😓
This just dropped into my reccomended and now it has convinced me to try and compete in this one day
Wow those people are really big!
Pista nuncavista grande ydebe ser super rapida🏃♂️🙋♂️
These guys are like 10 year olds😂
They should do a slot car school-run. That’d be carnage 😂
place cant even leave the lights on? lol or is that all part of it?
So cool!

About to go live, 25. 20 5 2. 1.
The cars go to fast regarding scale - this is the one thing that ruins slots for me. If they went slower you could enjoy it more Ithink.
I wonder how many miles it ends up being

The professional level of dialogue is so impressive. Get your shit together America. This is how are you hobby
Gaw damn...this is better than watching actual race
When you've already watched everything on pornhub and will do just about anything for entertainment. Lol jk
Stop the dramatic speach...Just Drive and be quiet..This is ToyCars for godsake...
If your car goes off your track are you out of the race?
That is awesome!! Never knew this was out there!
a tripod is too expensive in your country?
I hope cruise control is allowed 😀🕝🙂🕞🥱🕓😳🕥😴
Wow never knew anything like this exsisted in the miniature model world.
What they should do is put fpv cams in there now. I’ve seen some peeps do that. Would make it more interesting and easier for the drivers.
Excelent coverage mate, nice takes on the camera and lots of action ! Yeah!
Wait, people actually sit there for 24 hours watching the toy cars go around? Seriously?
I've still got two ninco cars in my cupboard.
A mclaren F1 gtr, the winning car from 1997
And Schumacher f1 ferrari. Which steers round the bends.
Damned thing could go flat out round any corner.
Is too shaky for me. Constantly back and forth, no tripod. Why not aim for a spot? Canceled
I have to say, this looks like a lot of fun!
Probably as I remember it was massively more expensive Mums n dads could not afford
