below good luck and i'll see you there wicked so let me get this right i'm going to be racing around cadwell park in a car that we buy today for 2000 pounds while he's going to be in something we don't quite know but it's not going to be too flashy he'll give us the details later also for you guys as richard said you're going to win this well not this it's an empty box but you will uh win the contents of the box let's go boys so richard yeah is setting a virtual lap yeah around cadwell park yeah in the gt86 so we're looking at 200 horsepower jack why'd you look like that you look very perturbed no i said i was concerned oh okay yeah i'm going to be driving something that we find today for 2000 pounds yeah so our choices please just run us through quickly ethan i'm thinking higher like coupe very good i like it mx5 perfect um mr2 yeah none of these cars have more than 140 horsepower maybe the mark 7 celica the 1.8 vvtli 190 horsepower in those a golf a golf gti that good one yes yeah maybe maybe a mark five mark five yours yours was my five miles five yeah but we can't use yours no because it's not currently on the road no potentially clio 172 or 182. i think 182s are out of our price range okay i think they're maybe like two and a half or so i literally have no idea what you're saying it's just numbers you like the [ __ ] straight rx eight oh dangerous yeah very dangerous we only need it for one lap yeah but we just need the engine to be good full stop and the chances are it might not be that good oh look at that snap tt yeah look at your titty look at your take it's a 3.2 dsg really it's a 3.2 v6 this is two and a half grand it's got 85 000 miles on it something's a miss gearbox sometimes takes two or three tries to go and drive once in drive it drives spot on oh i have here a seleka 190 137 500 miles 1750 quid how about that oh we like that oh smart it's cool in it offside front tire worn close to legal limit offside rear tyre worn close to legal limit nearside front look first and strut modified but not seriously weakened bump stop damaged in capital letters if we want to get good tires it's probably going to cost us 150 pounds it's also going to cost us a lot of time because we're going to cadwell tomorrow yeah we can't do this no oh look at this you might not go quick but you look pretty badass oh oh when that sort of stick it up as well oh oh what about that jaguar xj four liter sovereign sounds fast looks really fast i've just found a really really nice 2004 renault clio 172 sport pirelli tire new disc and pads all around in immaculate condition strong color oh wow wow small problem what's that over budget by thousand three hundred pounds i just found the car have you oh that's good should we all close laptop yeah yeah should we go lay on cooper r that's actually a great shout out two grand rossi sticker yeah yellow rossy sticker or it's got a track sticker on the back perfect does it say the tyres are good uh it says they exist cleo rs 172 need gone today when did you upload that uh listed a week ago this is good yeah that's not good no it's terrible but it's a good deal yeah 1400 quid not only do you get a sport ignis you also get a trailer to take it to the track oh i really want a trailer that's probably worth that grand probably is another renault clio 172 cup the car is built for track they use but does have a valid mot oh only issue is it's a grand over budget what have you set your filter to i don't on facebook i just want everything okay just want it all you're greedy i just want to be in a room with cameras and just all of it to be surrounding me and just to be center of attention and just like you don't strike me as that sort of person really yeah oh i've got cleo 180 horsepower is it 182 1450 uh oh requires mechanical and body work can you read that before you get our hopes up please this is a one eight two talk test it's a little bit over budget it's two to five yep but all right what's wrong with that 111 000 miles i have come to the end of my search what else do we got there's got to be loads of cars that we're missing i thought this one was going to be easy we've got two grand yeah but we need close to 200 horsepower that's the issue it needs to have good tires and it needs to be ready to go tomorrow let me check this oh so we have nothing we'll get zombie don't worry i've got i'm sat on something right here just getting a minute you never have anything no this is true what are we on you always have you always have like a short list of 20 and then you never call any of them it's got 60 days of equity we only need one day i'm still very suspect 182 for 2 250 is going to be dog [ __ ] miner oil leak we just need enough oil just for the day as long as it holds most of it that looks good that's a great looking car that's the same as what i found yeah except this one has an mot and doesn't look like [ __ ] trying to call him yeah i can call him hello mate you're right i've just seen your um clio 182 on gumtree is it all right run all right stop all right yeah absolutely fine yeah so what what are the tyres like uh generally all round um yeah on the front it's got a michelin pilot sport threes uh up front and then on the back more of a budget brand but um still got good tread left engine gearbox clutch all working well a bit of a strange question do you reckon it would fare well being bashed around the track you know what i'd probably be right actually um the cam belt pump have been done on this one um it's got a ram air panel filter as well so it should be yeah it should be right for you okay excellent i see you go up four two two five i've got a really strict budget of around two grand if we come down and have a look at it and it all looks it looks alright would that be uh okay with you are you interested in that [Music] [Applause] yeah that should be fine okay excellent okay i think the next thing for us to do is come down and have a have a look here then okay great nice one cheers thank you hey all right i'm sorry can we just clarify we haven't seen the car oh yeah true sounds good he sounds nice we like the sound of him but could be dog [ __ ] okay yeah i mean if it is dog [ __ ] we can always fall back on one of your options yes [Music] [Music] first impressions yeah that's good i think it's probably one of the nicer ones we bought well we haven't bought it yet but well we actually have some money for this one yeah i think we need it as well i have a key good sign i've got the secret secret this could be our next car is it decided got a key does it work sold james doesn't want to be on camera so it's up to us fair enough so we could just drive off also you may remember from a video you remember awesome affordable cars it was fiesta st with the renault clio 182 trophy that i drove and that was the affordable the red one in the grey one yeah and in that video i said i'm gonna buy one of these cars i said hundred percent end of the year i'm gonna buy one and i didn't so now i'm making up for it i'm really sorry everyone well we should probably have a look at it first yeah we haven't decided yet but we don't really have much of a choice no i mean the car is here as long as it starts why does it keep it doesn't it doesn't want me as an owner i like it yeah i like the twin exhaust pipes i think they actually got rid of the spare wheel well to uh make room for that yeah i told you that just now no i didn't i did no you didn't i did you did shut up this is going to be driven on track so we need to check some important things tires got some all right michelin pilot sport threes so they're quite old but they've got enough on there they've got a fair amount of mate yeah cadwell is a very very difficult and very harsh track so these tires better hold up classic clouded headlights that cleo suffer with it's got a ram air sticker so maybe it's actually got a ram kit which will be good i think these are plastic look at that definitely that's amazing oh my god look you could actually properly like push that in this has got cruise control doesn't it so it's quite a well-specced one which is obscure that's gonna work against us though isn't it it'll be a bit heavier with added spec well it just means i can relax a bit more when i'm cad well cruise control police get cruise control springs are not snapped which is good there's not a lot of rust under there so a little look in this boot oh let's do that oh goodies oh look original wheel there we go sound system yeah bass extra bass so you can play that new cardi b song whap have you guys heard that it's such a good song bring a bucket and a mup oh we've got loads of history oh wow that's a lot of history though isn't it yeah does it actually match up to this car though we've got to get the man to check it over you're the man what you're the man fought you're doing the milk test go go get the milkman in yeah would you mind checking the oil filler cap everyone is waiting if you're right yeah okay i can't even see the dipstick okay well we're looking at it it's somewhere else yeah yeah yeah it's not in here i'm pointing at it can we have some lift music right well it's got to be can i pull that i don't know can you just tag it get some very good oh that's very good isn't it that's really good we like that yeah that's quite smart isn't it i've always thought all filler caps they're too unsightly that's in the little inspection hole was a little a little bit weeping a little bit of oil should we just gloss over that yeah because like i said pretty much we've got to buy this car no matter what yeah should we see if it starts does it smell does it smell well it smells of these disgusting air fresheners yeah i like them dear you're not a fan of air i hate these things it's all right sounded a little bit lumpy yeah sold right now you can say yeah now i can say it another little tip tip this is going to be very good check for leaks in the exhaust i think there might be a little blow somewhere because it's not pushing back too hard for a two grand car if all is well then jobs are good this is probably one of the best bang for buck cars that you can actually buy i know i say it a lot but two grabs someone like this they drive brilliantly speaking of which shall we try it yes kick it all right jack here we are power of my dreams carl rogers they're all your dreams they are all my dreams um first things first sorry you probably can only see trees yeah three two two and one there we go first impressions driving positions really bad it's not great yeah i feel like i'm sitting really upright and really high it's moving it's moving that was a big bump there were no knocks turns turns yeah i feel like i'm on a race track already i do really really like these cars you don't see many on the road do you they're all tucked away for future investments because this is going to be a modern classic at some point it's absolutely right now these cars have got a 2 liter 16 valve 182 horsepower nor 260 around 6.9 seconds top speed 139 miles an hour oh that induction sounds good yeah oh it wants to be thrashed it's telling me speaking to me freshmen don't worry you'll get a bloody good fashion you'll get a bloody good idea that's good oh yes that feels lovely you've got to do well in this you've got to do well with this right so plan is go back to james pay the man two grand and then uh we'll head to ranch studios and then get this bad boy delivered up sound good sounds good let's do it kick it kick it [Music] so yeah [Music] right so there you have it our clio 182 is now officially a race car it looks amazing looks great it looks great indeed thank you very much to jim thank you very much to wrench studios for actually allowing us to do well not allowing us just doing it getting on with it cracking on it looks great um there is one thing though yeah there's a number on it it's completely meaningless to me but apparently it has some meaning oh your race number my race number of 11. i don't i don't get it so please explain well you are a former racing driver aren't you i am yeah yeah sort of one series just one and done i don't if you remember your best ever finish in that series was 11th that's it yeah yeah so wow you've never made the top ten so you can always be reminded of that perfect well thank you very much that's uh hurtful but yeah strangely fitting anyway we've got a long way to go because we've got to drive to manchester where we're gonna be doing well seeing the sim racer so we need to get going so should we crack on all right i'm gonna get my race car you get in your skoda croc okay you'll be comfortable i'm gonna be race car today is d-day and i am joined by rich yaxley from vex gaming now rich i understand you're a little bit handy so tell me a bit about that yeah so recently i competed in the mclaren velo challenge against carlos science and zach brown of mclaren f1 i came out on top of that one so so you've actually beaten f1 drivers i have okay so my chances today i'd say a little to none little to none but i will probably win the prize for the biggest crash i'm claiming it already you can have that one i don't want it right so because we're expecting some rain at cadwell park later we have endowed you rich with some proper rain as well full manual gearbox as well yeah so you guys don't cry in the comments saying oh he's doing auto because i'm going to be manual as well so the only thing left to do is for you to uh to crack on and set those laps remember you have three laps the first one's kind of going to be a sighting lapse and then you've got your fast laps yeah so when you're ready i'm ready all right let's do this oh it's really wet there isn't it it's very wet we don't want any drifting heroics here how's the car feeling rich it's feeling very twitchy third gear have you you got enough talk in that gt86 yeah all right i would have gone for first gear then just a little tip from one racing driver to another this looks very tidy rich i cannot wait for you to screw it up a little hot air balloons do you see those how many do you count there how long does it take you to grow a beard like that uh the entirety of lockdown i've been working on mine it's still going yeah what do you think keep going got a bit of growth there second gear here rich no always there one hand no you leave it there right right now you really want to back off the pace here back it down slow it down ease off the throttle hard on the brake whack it in and what is the best time that you've ever got on this game in the dry in the dry we're looking at a 142. what 42 142. thank god it's raining at cowboy today right so that first lap was a two minutes four seconds so whatever lap times you get if i beat that that means i'm also faster than an f1 rating driver by all means you can tell yourself that yeah i'll take it [Music] this is faster but by how much oh god that's a lot faster that's very disappointing 155 288 oh oh oh what's gonna happen here oh my god has he saved it no thank you rich i was happy with the 155 well i'm gonna be happy if i don't end up on my roof to be honest now i'm gonna head to the track and try my best and i'm very glad that you're not gonna be in the car with me or anywhere near me i'm glad to be you're actually not allowed to leave this building you're locked in place anyway it's been a pleasure thank you very much good night oh god someone get a bucket and no more for me i'm going to need it later right then boys now is the moment of truth i'm very suited up and as we can see it's raining i mean i don't think any of us have seen rain like this have we pour it down what would you call this torrential i don't think you should go out it's too dangerous it is very dangerous but i'm gonna push through anyway two minutes 55 to beat what one minute 55 to beat any final words are you going to read me my final rights don't hit the grass don't hit the grass thank you jack don't bin it okay i'm rich can i have the car if you keep it in one piece uh no absolutely um okay you guys bugger off good luck i'm gonna try and not crash all right bye good luck [Music] [Music] i am nervous i'm not gonna lie just gotta re-learn this track come on we've got a great view up here aren't we imagine like just seeing him slide down here on his roof over the finish line like cool rottings local rubbish flat through there yes oh he's gunning it down there come on alex come on i apologize if i'm not talking you through this lap i'm currently trying to hold the [ __ ] in with david versus goliath this is it which one are we which one is he oh god the brakes are starting to fade already that's not good if you spill brakes yes this needs to be flat come on alex a bunker like a golf bank a lot of sand trap yeah no oh this is so much fun is this a golf course it looks like one drop all your balls at the start finish line that's probably what alex is doing come on that's an awful lot of time he's got to make up what you're saying about david and goliath who won out goliath wrecked david in the end right i think goliath wins nine times out of ten is this one of those times i think so yeah that was 203.8 that's his first lap life sign that is it's quite smelly that car i can smell it from here yeah he can pull wait seconds out of that right definitely quicker but by how much come on little baguette do daddy proud [Music] it's better it's better is it is it eight seconds better um not yet 201.5 we had hours and hours and hours he'd be doing this in like 40 seconds richard got three laps yeah but richard didn't get three laps today he's probably been practicing it's easier for him to practice the benefit of the sim racer setup is you can have it in your house you jump on it whenever you want very sure we can't jump on cadwell whenever we want oh the raid's really starting to come down now [ __ ] oh it's hot in here [Music] as he beat it 202.1 that's worse it's worse that's better that's better what advice can we give him be quicker in gear come on this gearbox not the sweetest um don't be as slow oh god i've lost brakes [Music] yeah poor car let's go and find out 202 201.5 oh god it's so far off yeah i am so funny yes this can be your brave lap then okay the logitech guys have said if he gets under two they'll count it's a victory i'd like to see at least under two that would be good that would be good come on right i have brakes back which is nice oh it's really raining now it was really raining in the game [Music] what are you doing 202 i think any slower no [Music] 20147 can really smell that car now and a little bit of [ __ ] [Music] this is better that one wasn't the one that's worse what point do you ask yourself whether it's the car or the driver about now yeah about that yeah [Music] he's so close now but it's raining more it is raining and there were rabbits yeah and uh brakes and stuff yeah i'm gonna be so happy if it starts with a one it doesn't start with a one no what there is a one in there i'm going out again really yeah 20106. why am i ever bothering i don't know i don't know why you're bothering because i'm really wet everyone back to your positions okay great this is it i know i can smell it smell the victory he's gonna shave like seven seconds off of his time out of nowhere is it yeah watch this this is gonna be two losses on the bounce for us what else did we lose volvo oh yeah but that was close wasn't it if we had more runway then again if we had a faster car here or if we had a better driver yes come on come on come on mate come on come on you bastard come on come on come on yes now oh he's hyped now so sketchy now come on come on [Music] so this could be come on this could be it this could be it that's quick enough that's like that's like a second one too quick he's going to annihilate that rabbit oh [ __ ] valley's been red mist that rabbit [Music] come on come on come on [Music] come on that's all i got i've had a [ __ ] great time cadwell park is awesome what a great track right then it is now the end of the day i've driven as hard as i can the question is did you get within five seconds which would count as a victory it would wouldn't it you didn't oh okay it was
