@@skylineXpert I'd say they are pretty close, especially considering that they don't have the BBC budget behind them to pay for expensive jokes. Also, they would get cancelled for 90% of the TG jokes.
@@jjmmjj9999 i meant 200 tons, and that was a guess, apparently it's alot closer to 150. but if it had 60.000 lb-ft of torque and only weighed 2tons , i'd be willing to bet on the train in a race lmao.
@@jjmmjj9999 I argued that an average train would keep up with any modern cars acceleration. A train "pulls" in the literal sense, that's where the figure of speech comes from, not sure if you misunderstood or i read to deep into your reply.
Looks like Scott needs some cycling coaching on road positioning 😉 Don't ride right on the edge, it encourages bad passes. Ride about 1m out so you have room to react if something is tooclose, it forces most drivers to move into the neighbouring lane and reduces the likelihood of them passing whilst an oncoming vehicle is there. And for any drivers who want to complain about being a cyclist: I own and drive a car, so vehicle taxes are paid. I have personal insurance. I ride with a light. I don't cut up traffic.
The chocolate eggs with "surprises" (toys) in them are banned in the US. It's the choking hazard of the plastic stuff which was banned. Their full official name in Europe is "Kinder Surprise", and you can't buy them in the US, their import is prohibited. What you have bought in the US are most probably a different product called "Kinder Joy" or "Kinder Mini Eggs"
1hp is about 750 watts Typically an in shape person will maintain around 350 watts for long distance, but you get cyclists that can put out over 1500 watts in short sprints. So Scott probably had about 0.5hp but on a bike you can get as much as 2.5
Cyclists measure power in watts. 1hp is around 740 watts. A gentle pace is around 100-150w, most fit cyclists can hold around 250w for an hour and pro racers ride an average of 400w. Sprinters can max out at over 2000w for a few seconds.
Oh wow those are actually really impressive numbers for a human being, I also once heard that a normal work horse can produce 8-10hp which would mean that some people really have a quarter or third of the strength of a fricking horse... big oof!!
wow, i live in Southampton and its nice to see you guys in my local area plus the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth lmao, so cool its so weird seeing Scott cycle around places i know so well 😂
Trains are expensive and often late. Buses aren't bad, but British roads are often busy, which of course causes buses to be late outside of their control. I've never had issues with trams, but then I haven't used them much.
It's got to be Callum and Will, right? You can't have leg power and busses beating a car. And now that Callum has his racing license, how about a competition between he and Scott to see who can compete in the most races, at the most different locations, in one weekend? Travel and racing all in one.
Also, the bus Callum was on at the end goes straight to a border and has a stop at the finish line; he got off it early to keep the others in the race, presumably
You have to take more into the question when comparing modes. Car is definitelt a lot more expensive! Even if you save on petrol over our over-priced public transport the car has a lot of other costs: Insurance, emissions tax, MOT, parts and maintenance, parking and any tolls, congestion charges or speeding tickets you might get and replacing at the end of it's useful life. The costs of cars reach into other areas too- roads that are expensive to build and maintain that your emissions tax nowhere near covers, dead-space created by wide roads and car parks that would generate more revenue when used for literally anything else, physical health problems caused by breathing polluted air or living a sedentary life style and the increased stress traffic brings for everyone inside and outside a car wherever it exists. Public transit eliminates or vastly reduces all of those things making it an absolute win for public transport and bikes!
I can't tell you for the UK, but for Switzerland. A car like this will cost a minimum of CHF750 a month (Insurance, depreciation, gas, parking*). A one month train ticket (all trains, trams, buses, ships etc.) costs CHF355**. * Especially parking can get really expensive. E.g. if you have a job in the city, that can easily be CHF200 a month, just to have a parking where you work). If you are renting, you will be looking at CHF150+ for a parking space. Parking in Zurich for a day (Bahnhofparking) is CHF45/day. ** And there is also a possibility for reductions.
As an Aussie, every time I watch content filmed in the UK, I feel like everyone just lives in areas like that ahha! Anyway, great film with classic top gear vibes. More of these challenges boys!
Why didn't the Audi just revert to type and shove the cyclist off the road and be done with it? Genuine question, are people arse holes so buy an Audi or buy an Audi then become arse holes? I've pondered that during many an hour on a road bike
Excellent vid, even with an over powered car, hoon driving, scaring the passenger and, I strongly suspect, laws broken, endangering the public a bike and PT still faster. Imagine a bike fit person doing the same. Keep cars on the racing track and commute by the fastest urban transport is a win win for the masses and planet.
Not even 8 hours in car but 1 day 11 hours on bike 😅 is this video even real 😂😂 Ps after watching the video I now understand Scott cheated 😂😂😂😂 no way was he biking the full 300 odd miles
I think at 1:17 later I'm sat on the bike for two years he didn't look like he sat in the bike for good free for years he mostly look like you've been driving cars and not losing to these peasants in real life but let's hope he beat him
@@BootlegSonicToy It would be interesting to see: a motorcycle would be much faster in town due to filtering past traffic, but on the motorway it would have to stop for fuel more often.
I'd love to know what you used as a chase car and who was driving. We get a brief glimpse @22:21 when it stops in the distance and opens the passenger door. It would have to be fast enough to keep up with the RS3, and in my experience the person following has to drive faster and harder to keep up. I did a few advanced motorcycle riding courses around Essex and Suffolk around 40 years ago. The instructor was a Metropolitan Police bike cop, and on one occasion we had three police bike cops with us for the day, and one of them was female. None of them had jurisdiction anywhere we rode, so no blind eyes would be turned if we we were caught. With four of us on the course that day, there were eight riders, and the instructor was not hanging around so we got a bit spread out at times. I was the most experienced of our group, so I was the rear most bike, and several times I was doing >130mph to catch up. One of our group was riding a Suzuki RG500 two stroke, and he rode it like a grannie, but he was forced to nail it early in the day on a long straight stretch north of Chelmsford. Having never seen throttle before, this resulted in an incredibly dense cloud of white smoke just as a cop car passed in the other direction. I passed the cop car doing 100mph and I was sure he was going to turn around and come after us. I don't know if he recognised us as having cops with us, or if he was late for his breakfast, but he kept heading towards Chelmsford.
