Gotta love the commitment to safety, those lads with the hard hats running in and checking the drivers, well done! Also, that damn Lexus going twice, gotta love the lad essence dripping off that driver!
@@Lunar_Capital havent played since it came out tbh. Didnt even know that was a setting lol. U sure its not on by default? And the reason i said that was balancing issues. No one would choose a car that wouldnt make it for that game mode. Everyone would just choose the same op cars. Which would make u question even having a variety in the first place. Same way i felt about GTA races when they first came out.
I like how the marshalls are asking if they’re alright before the driver’s internal organs have stopped bouncing around inside his chest. Give his brain a chance to stop vibrating off his skull first.
The UK (and Holland) goes way harder than US when it comes to destroying cars. Just search for banger racing hardest hits and you'll see that the US version is pretty gentle by comparison. Often the cars are reduced to barely longer than the driver's seat and footwell.
I think having the engine up front is naturally making them nose dive, not the ramp! And letting off the accelerator before leaving the ramp will pitch the nose down too.
They should add ballast weight about 200 kilograms or more to the back of the car, so the car doesn't fall on its nose while jumping, to protect drivers from injuries.
Love it! I do have one question, though. I see a number of car parts sticking up in the air at 6:57. Would they allow a jump with it looking like that or, since this was the end of the competition, it didn't matter? Thanks!
Most seems to be plastic (bumper/dashboard parts) and some sheet metal which won't be an issue, having said that, some cars didn't even have the airbags disabled/removed so safety seems to be a relatively low priority... In a normal crash the airbags would help, in controlled crashes with a helmet and neck-brace etc. they usually don't.
@@someguy4915 Yeah I've also seen in tough truck events quite a few airbags suddenly come bursting out the moment the driver hits the very first obstacle
@@FinalFront Maybe it is more common than I expected then, I heard they always disabled or even completely removed airbags for stunts/demo derby races?

@@someguy4915 For UK banger racing the steering wheel is wrapped in plastic film so it's a solid disc which prevents fingers etc getting trapped during violent wheel movement in hard hits.
As someone who has done stupid shit all my life, I collapsed the seatrails on a car jumping a railway crossing, I am glad it was the seatrails and not my spine...
@@danbi2000 an is200 has a 1g-ge in it, is300 would have a 2jz-ge and an altezza (which this isnt) has a yamaha beams engine, I can't remember the code
