BMW M5 1000hp v £1.15M Rallycross Racers: RACE...and EXPLOSION!

hi everyone martin here from car wow if you're wondering why i'm wearing this mask it's because i'm in the back of an uber it's a fast uber though and it's being driven by a man called yenni he's my driver i am his driver firstly i forgot my mask so i've got a brandywine brand everything why are you wearing a mask that you look like you're about to paint a car no i'm not i'm just going to remove someone's asbestos it's nice that we're together it's no reflection on you and how like full of germs you might be i've got the full fp3 anyway what's going on here why am i in the back of a bloody car and you're in the front of it and by the way move your seat forward i'm actually gonna come back no don't don't i'm lucky i've got such short legs like a normal someone with a normal like torso to leg ratio would be struggling back here but i'm actually just about okay so what's happening right so i'm in the bmw evolve m5 i'm so excited you haven't driven this yet so this is one of the fastest cars i've driven and it's one of the fastest cars we've ever had on car wow tuned in five four point four lead to twin turbo v8 it had a stage two tune on it it did 800 horsepower then evolvers tuned it again with forged pistons and all that kind of stuff it's now got a thousand horsepower it's nuts so we thought we'd write something a little bit different with it and we have some rallycross cars over there next to me is a british rally cross car it's got a 2 litre turbocharged petrol engine with 550 horsepower and around 600 to 700 newton meters of torque sequential racing gearbox weighs in at 1300 kilos what one of those that's about 150 000 pounds this car 120 000 pounds with the stage three tune evolve has got on it thirty thousand pounds so about the same price as that racing car though next to that though is a world rally cross kites mini two litre turbocharged petrol engine 600 horsepower this time and a thousand newton meters of torque that is a little bit more expensive that's six hundred thousand pounds for that one then on the far side i don't know if you can see it yanny one of my favorite cars ever it's a ford rs200 it's a retro rallycross car so that's got 500 horsepower and it's got around 750 newton meters of torque from its 2.1 liter turbo charged cosworth engine now that's quite a rare car it costs you about 400 000 pounds for one of them wow now the poor guy in that car though he's got an old-fashioned five-speed manual gearbox and he has to do like clutch changes whereas the other two have racing gearboxes sequential so they should be fine we've got an automatic which is good it's a bit wet but we've got four wheel drive they've got four wheel drive they are going to get off the line quick i know you get off the line quick do you reckon we're going to beat them they weigh nothing 1300 kilos this is two tons and then with us in it that's another rvu by the way one ton no seriously 18 stone oh i can only do like metric i'm i'm like 72 kilos i am yeah but you're like five foot i'm six foot two so it's all relative and you've got lead bollocks right okay anyway enough of this before we get on with the race please make sure you subscribe to

down there and if you want to check out janni's channel it's yanny myers all right let's go with the race oh this sounds awesome [Music] i love the fact by the way that them two turned up on helicopters we haven't got that much money no we're not that level yet buying a new car then head to car wow and my team will help you find your next car at a fair price car wow your one-stop car buying comparison site only with this you can't use launch control the tyres just can't cope with it so you're just gonna have to hold it on the brake build a bit of boost keep the wheel going straight yeah straight don't panic you'll be all right okay it's all gonna be fine thanks i love patronizing it i love the fact that you're sitting in the back and you ain't scared i might not be scared but i might get sick all right we're going i hope i'm not sick all over your shoulder dead like doing some weird warm up we've got to get into like launch mode you'll hear them going to launch [Music] getting ready here we go this is it come on launch it honey [Music] oh my god come on that was a good launch mate oh wow how quick is that yellow car did he jump the start i think actually the mini came past it was between us and the many at the end i think we got the yellow car also known as a ford fiesta british rallycross car the white one the rs200 i don't think he was in it no definitely the yellow one kicked off first the mini overtook it and it was us two right at the end it was close no idea very close are we doing it again i want to do it again let's head back so then yanny what exactly happened well we got a good start but the yellow car really pulled away quicker the mini caught at the end and we were gaining continuously a bit more we definitely win directly and we won it it was close very close that's not an answer is it uh i'm gonna say no we did it then [Music] looks like something's on fire over there oh dear i think the rs-200 oh it's on fire we've got a fire brigade [Music] i'm blaming you don't blame me it's not the exhaust steve it's nothing there i'm gonna take the safety let's go and have a little look oh he's got on he's smiling but he's giving it a thumbs down gone okay was that because it was just waiting too long it did sit there yeah it was getting hotter and hotter and hotter whoosh you think the turbo's gone yeah there's bits of metal are coming out the exhaust obviously it's only the turbo so is this normal for things to break like this i only do four hours in the engine between rebuilds valves where were we how many hours have you clocked up on that one uh we're about 12 minutes into the engine i just went no no just been rebuilding barbados oh no and you didn't even win if it's any consolation stop laughing if it's any consolation i love the look of that thing it's so so gorgeous even when it's like got smoke coming out of its tail fight okay let's head back and we'll do another race but i don't think you're going to be taking part in it i went too early all right let's go oh my god it's twitching out [Music] come on come on [Music] oh he broke why did he break i think you jumped that one but it doesn't matter let's let's it'll be too busy looking forward to have known that yeah we won't say that why did he break do you know what it is they don't go faster than like 130 miles an hour or something so he's hit 113. oh and it's just like that's it let's head back and find out what exactly happened that time we've had a bit of a development the rallycross guys weren't so happy that you jumped the lawn i did something like listen i know usually i'm like no no all right she did jump but i said as i pulled across i jumped it anyway they've got a refuel because they do about half a mile per gallon so i think it's only fair that i now drive because i'm a little bit more restrained so swap seats one minute 37 seconds later put the seat forward can you get in put the seat forward you little short ass there go on it's all right put the seat forward come on i'm going to set the passenger side put the seat forward much much much later i ain't got tiny little legs like you i need to put the sleep forward anyway to reach the bed awesome right i'm going to warm up my tires all right oh god am i sitting in the back for this yeah have you got your seatbelt on no you've got your um your phone in your hand because you're flying hold on hold on this is more skillful how do you feel feel good you feel a bit stick don't you just a little oh enough it's horrible in it all right let's do this oh sorry i'm getting a bit excited [Applause] [Applause] oh you see when you have a professional driving peony you get the win so then what exactly happened while the team bmw completed the standing quarter mile in 10 seconds dead the mini came second crossing the line in 10.3 seconds and the ford was third taking 10.5 seconds now we gave a break test from 70 miles an hour when we reach the line full emergency stop come on get level mini level get with me get with me yeah you do it here we go look at that one snake here no he didn't even would you call it he was nowhere near that was just absolute shambles yeah that was yeah should we try it again no i'm not sitting in the back again yeah you are no i'm not i feel sick i do really feel sick yeah i don't feel good i'm not a good passenger let alone sitting in the back i'm either getting out or okay you get out and go stand over there and watch what happens don't forget to take your little microphone with you okay [Music] all

Those rally cars are insane. Loved it.

[u/three_shoes]

1000nm of torque from a 2.0 turbo in that Mini, insane amount. Always been quite interested in how the rally car engines make so much torque and how they're tuned but its hard to find detailed information on it, other than high compression, high boost etc.

holy clickbait

[u/madevilfish]

I have to say the first race was really exciting. Best drag race I have seen from them in a while.
