I Want To Be Faster! | Catchpole on Carfection 

one hand on the wheel, one on the walkie talkie, coaching someone, and still driving faster than an experienced driver. professional race drivers are seriously another breed

My favourite thing about this is the fact that you can see everyone absolutely loving their time doing this. Genuine reactions all the way! Top work Henry! 💪

When your initials are OG your branding can only be great.

It's pretty amazing a multiple Le Mans winner was able to help you try and drive even faster Henry :D

If anyone can drive a Vette to the limit its Ollie Gavin. Henry couldn't have a better teacher. I've watched Ollie for years and his record speaks for itself. He's just brilliant. Thanks guys.

I loved when Ollie said "you're a very good driver" Henry looked like an anime character like 🥰 AWWW. Great content, more of this please!

My guy, pedaling one-handed, telling Henry a bedtime story over the radio. Legend.

Ollie was out for a Sunday drive while us meet mortals are riding at the edge. Love it

That was fantastic - well done Henry (the vette looked good also)

Great video as always Henry & Team. It would be very interested to see similar types of videos with different types of motorsport i.e. Rally, Offroading, drifting, etc to see the different techniques each type of driving requires and how they compare to each other.

Lovely. I love that inside our favourite auto journalist, with years of experience and after all the cars, tracks, fabulous roads... there's an overexcited twelve year old boy that pops out 😊♥️

I'm impressed with the gearbox when Oliver was driving one handed it knew when to change down or up precisely

I really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more of these. A series of a whole course with a few videos and getting to see your experience through it.

The sound quality is amazing authentic and always very boutique content with such aplied introspective styles. Thank-you so much to whomever it is behind the camas well 🤙

Great video, I love doing training like this, so much gained from getting pushed by professionals!

Enjoyed that. Don’t think you talent levels were ever in doubt Henry :-)

Presumably there will be a queue of hands free walkie-talkie salesmen as a result of this video

Awesome video, I think you acquitted yourself pretty well considering your up against an ex Corvette factory driver, and multiple Le Mans winner.. Looking forward to the next instalment

Very enjoyable video, as always! 😎

Awesome Henry 💪👌👏👏👏

Was listening to this in work and his voice sounds really recognisable. Hints of someone else but I can’t place it haha. Love those types of courses!

Can't wait for you guys in Europe to get the Zo6, I think you guys are going to love it. Ask Ollie Gavin about that one.

Great Video Henry 👍Thank you for sharing.. I Just experienced a similar day with a friend who was an ex racing driver same comment I needed to get back on the throttle quicker. Keep the car balanced..

A great friend to have! I once got one to one coaching from Gordon Shedden. Before he became a multiple BTCC champion. I'd been for a track experience day and he took us out in a group, but when I returned for another experience I asked if I could get him to instruct me. He was superb, but I could see how talented he was as a driver. We also had Anthony Reid giving demonstration laps and I can't tell you how much I learned from him too.

That was mega cool Henry!

Tiny tiny thing but awesome to give Dave Ryding a shout out! I raced for 10 years when he was coming through the ranks. He is a really top bloke. P.s most ski racers are massive petrolheads.

Anthony Perkkns came back to drive the C8 ? Blimey !

He was one of my instructors on a Formula Palmer Audi day at Bedford Autodrome back in 1999! Top guy and really encouraged me in a Honda Integra Type R. He was the F1 safety car driver back then, too!

Nice Omega there Henry! And on a nato! Proper watch guy I see

Brilliant 😊😊😊👏

Amazing content

Excellent

Ahhh Yes my Friend Mr Gavin.... Talented Racing Driver...... Next time you talk to him... Can you ask him if he remembers DESTROYING a F 3000 car during qualifying for the Race at Pau back in the early 90`s!!!!! Please let him know that I remember having to physically carry the Tub up some stairs to get it out of the paddock!!!!!!! He is a real gent though.... Always smiling.... Cheers Olly from your ex Trucky... :-)))

Fabulous video. I've done some advanced driver training in the past and my tutors will tell you i'm still crap, but I'd love to do that one. Perhaps you and Ollie can organise a competition for a YT viewer to win a day with him? ;-)

He should use a wheel mounted push to talk button lol. What a boss.

I think you guys forgot to include the link in the description to the Corvette review. Nonetheless, I'll find and watch it ;)

Gavin was doing this with one hand 🤯. Henry, you’re a great driver but your buddy is another level.. zen like

If I recall a quote,to paraphrase, what makes a racing driver is no fear of crashing/dying.

Ok which one of you farted 10:55? Don't try and pass it off as a squeaky shoe or something else. I know what I heard!! Great video Henry and awesome driving. I always get satisfaction from knowing the automotive journalist behind the wheel is an actual gear head or legitimate driver and not some pretty boy that was stuck behind the wheel. In the US we have tons of car shows on TV and I am always surprised when the on screen personality knows f--- all about cars. It's almost like the "eye candy" networks put on the sideline of sporting events. I am always annoyed when the cut to them because they never offer ANYTHING of substance to the broadcast and are pointless.

Push into the steering, I will try doing that from now!

It would be better if coach and student were wearing headsets with mics. Brilliant either way.

4:20 nice oversteer face. we all make it.

I love the hand held walkie talkies while on track, way old school, maybe he could shave with the other hand, drive with his knees?

Ok...where is the Emira video? Still editing? It's been a long time coming.

Did you do left foot braking or right foot ?

im surprised some of the advice wasn't to keep your eyes up and look through the turn. that's how you complete a wet skidpad.. when your slide is too short, it's because your eyes are down and you're not looking through the course.

6.2 Liter NA, as God intended.

Wonderful. Too bad the Driving Experience web page when booking says "The page is gone. It seems like you are looking for something that doesn't exist anymore". It would be better it if said "Sold out" or "Cancelled" if that's the case. In another instance, the travel experience, I'm just shown "Return to homepage." Oh well.

Drifting with a square steering wheel? Old school but round steering wheel for me

how tall is Gavin?! He appears to be even taller than the already stretched-out Henry Catchpole. The OGDA looks like a great experience. I'd be sorely tempted, if I had any money.

Henry fat? No hope for me then.

I do like these Corvettes…UK price for a top spec should be £82-87k which I think is a performance bargain for something with a NA V8. Considering a Nissan GT-R now costs upwards of £83k new and is essentially a 13 year old model in the UK…the Vette is very tempting 😎

Nice soft hands Henry. Next most important thing after the eyes.

Henry, you are standing on a planet that spins at 1000mph on it's axis and is hurtling around the Sun at 70000mph, how fast do you want to go?

The Euro spec C8 Stingray has 19 less BHP and 18 less ft.lbs then the stated 495 and 470, but maybe these are US spec cars ? 0-100 Km/h should be 3.5 seconds with the US spec C8 Stingray Z51.

👍🏻

Go back a second time as he says, an push on the right places next time👊

I wish they had given Henry a go in a real driver’s car like an MX-5.

A square steering wheel and black wheels…steering wheels should be round and wheels should be silver grey (or gold)!

The square steering wheel can’t help

this or the EMIRA?

No matter how fast or experienced you are, nothing can beat 1:1 coaching from a real professional racing driver. These people already have a decade plus of real racing under their belt before they hit their 20s.

So, are you faster?

Is Henry rocking a speedy??

It was your fault! You didn’t turn it all off😂 It’s actually harder than it seems I found out at Porsche Driving Experience Precision (lvl 1) and Performance (lvl 2). Everybody should do such advanced drivers training courses

Interesting video, but one thing puzzles me - why the Corvette C8? Yes, it's a good car and well balanced etc... but the main reason for questioning is the squared off steering wheel - not ideal for finessing the finer points of drifting or track work, surely?! Surely something like an M2/M3 or even an Alpine A110 might have been better suited... Anyways, that's by the by. Would be great to see you going through training for a racing license Henry!

Henry is friends with a driving instructor and is a presenter on a car channel, and you guys only came up with 12 minutes of content?

i don't for the life of me, understand WHY you don't talk about how you can go faster at that transition where you're losing time? that's the WHOLE point of getting some feedback from him.

Corvette in the US..... Claim the BASE MODEL. The 60 000 dollar base model. Straight off the showroom floor, will do 0-60 in 2.9 or even lower. But in reality you are closer to 3.8 or even 4.2. The best I have seen any European car journalist do it, is 3.6 And that was with the Z51 full specc. American numbers are just unrealistic lies.

why doesn't henry wear a jacket in freezing cold weather? is this a British thing? he's always acting like it's Charles Dickens underdress orphan "Please Sir may i have warm clothing for this video i'm shooting?"

Mmm... I would rather teach people how to drive with a proper manual sport car.

Carrying extra weight! Give me a break Mr extra slim

It's a American car so it's made for roads where you can't drive fast anyways . Where the police don't do fack all about real crime because they're to busy handing out traffic fines . And at least a 3rd of of the population acts like Karen's on the road . I'm pretty sure the keep right except to pass rule is the most broken rule in the country , and rolling road blocks are the norm .

Corvettes...why did it have to be Corvettes...

6.2L V8 and not even 500 hp, come on Corvette really

Useless video! Just press harder on the accelerator to go faster! 🤨🤷🏻‍♂️

Because drifting is the surest way to a quick lap. I suppose that is why Alain Prost never won anything. He did not spend enough time drifting. What a tool.

6.2l v8 495bhp 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂🙄🙄🙄😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨🤣🤣 Lame!

Him outrunning you with 1 hand while coaching you with radio in the other, that was great stuff..😳🫡
