Entertaining as a one off but I never can see the point of trying to compare real world and a simulator.
u needed a peugeot 106 gti mate ahahaha
They should have stripped the car a bit. If they'd have removed the passenger and rear seats it would be possible for it to win tbh, and it wouldn't have cost any money.
ultimatley, u 3 should inherit clarkson hammond and mays work at amazon one day.
The sim racer was a cheeky bastard
As far as I'm aware, Carlos Sainz is quite new to sim racing, and zak brown's more of a team leader than a racer... That tool needs to get down to earth! Especially because gran turismo is not a real sim by any mean, but an arcady game.. Get the gamer in the car, he'll know what real life is
can i just have the box please
I can't wait to billed up my Clio
Saxo vtr would of been good
1:12 driving in yeezy boosts? that must add another inch of pedal travel
You passed our vw t5 when you went for a test drive and I waved and obviously you ignored me 😄
i wanna see that dude get humbled in a real car
that 11 usualy was on renaults F1 cause F1 = 11 or Renault Elf = german 11 = elf
That sim racer got the personality of a damp mop
At 14:37 They went to wrench studios but DMO with his 1000hp Mercedes says “Wrench sauce Bitches”
Am I still in time to win 🤣
Why dose every thumbnail have him flexing
07:53 Alex, please don't ever stop doing that!
This reminds me a lot of Top Gear. Especially when Alex was doing the laps.
except for autotrader, what good sites can i go to find good car deals??anyone?
You should've stripped everything that isn't visible on the camera and put new rubber on for better grip. Yes, cheating just to wipe that smug face of that dude. Aka the Clarkson way
If you live like a robot, you will become a robot. Go outside people and be humans again in the real life, before you lose all your senses. And most importantly, tell that to your children.
Yer man is such a knob! Does anyone know if that guy has been given a try out in any of the formlae? If he was that good surely he’d be worth taking a chance on to give a drive and a bit of training? Bollox! There’s walls everywhere on that track. If he has an off it’s gonna hurt. Sim is nowhere near that type of balls! I like to think I’m quick but I wouldn’t be going as quick as him. Fair play to the guy! 👏👏👏
This enginecover costs 350 € i've got one for mine
you could've gone for a 350Z
Why do you say it in miles using the same numbers miles aren't the same as km 1 mile is 1.6 km
What happened to the cupra tbh :(
Could you please do 300hp for under 5k
you should try get a drift car with a £3000 budget
The sim guys ego ffs what a plum
I love that clio I wish I had one now
can we get a part two of this, with the sim driver on track and CT on the sim.
“I had a few grand spare”
Bigger On The Inside Pod what unlikable bastard,right?
A few simple mods would have been nice, weight reduction for one. Lose the back seats and Alex's biceps and he would have found that extra second.
Wrench sauce big up dmo
7:51 for the *OLD ATT YERRAND*
15:50 such a top gear moment
4:43 how dose he not know that’s Silverstone!
my grandmother used to have a Clio like that, in blue. I miss it
The game laptimes are always innaccurate anyway, the cars werent the same and there is no risk involved playing a game, stick the smug gamer in the car on that day with alex and he would have shat his pants
I like my chances of winning the contents of that empty box...
Surprised how good Alex was driving. Wouldnt have expected that...
That sim driver shouldn't have been allowed... It should have been real vs real
when you realize Chris fix bought a track car for 1500 dollars
That Gamers Personality is next to none...All acting like a smartass..I bet if he would do a lap in a 15yr old car with questionable tires as fast as he could he would end up on his roof in no time...
Should’ve gone for a vauxhall Astra vxr
Can Alex not put his arms down my his side because his chest is built like a unit?
29:40 ah amazing
yeah jack's right its not fair the sim driver could go practice on the track whenever he want he just turn on his pc and play the game but real life it wouldnt be easy to drive on a circuit whenever we want to, and the risk boy.. alex got balls to push that car to its limit, i mean they dont even change the tire, brakes, suspension, etc. it was so risky driving it on a circuit let alone it was raining
The £150 7 series still just chilling there
You know what you are dealing with when a "professional sim racer" uses a Logitech G923 and plays Project Cars 3... His driving didn't even seem too smooth. Would've liked to see it with someone in a comparable car in Assetto Corsa and proper Gear.
£2k car budget £5k for the exclusive use of the track
Professional Sim racer, playing Project cars 3, an Arcade racing game, with a logitech G923. Yeah Alex was never going to catch a dude playing an arcade game like that. Even Project Cars 2 would of been a better choice. Or any of the actual proper sims out there. I do get why he was using the logitech wheel, but theres no way in hell thats his normal sim setup. Nothing wrong with the logitech for entry level, but it'd be like turning up to a professional racing series in a road car in terms of sim racing.
I don't it's fair really real car to simulator you have older car when you race with new car but I'm sure it was awesome fun
BMW e46 330ci: 230 bhp Mini Cooper S: 200 bhp ish (if had the supercharger pulley swap mod) Just a suggestion
Real driving is incomparable to sim, this is a mute competition
Why not a EP3 Type R Civic?
Why does Brits have their washing machines in the kitchen? Boggles my mind.
small houses + no utlility room = dryer and washing machine in kitchen
If the car had fresh tires and if it didn’t rain it would be very close
How did they miss a mini cooper s r53!? well within budget and more than enough power???????
Project cars 3... a sim. Omega lul
yo, muscles. you have a serious muscle imbalance, you need to do more pulling workouts. rows, band pull apart that kind of thing. your front muscles are so much more developed than your upper back that they are pulling your arms into forward rotation
Currently holding the shit in had me giggling
Wait is he a formula champion of video games? How sad.
I think you should to a rematch ( remove all seats, spare tire, plastics carpets and do remap if you are alowed, bet you can iven beat his time)
No way was that a fair comparison, I'm impressed he got that close.
can’t believe you didn’t even consider an e36 323i or 325i, yeah it’d be clapped but it’d be fine for going round a track
If they were bought the RX8 they would’ve made it
7:52 SOLD!!!
he looked like a lot of fun
Oh wow, he just oozes charisma that lad....
that esports gamer seems so rude, acting like he's a proper f1 racer
u know they got some skils with the camra work when u can get that car to look ok
That would be about 8 grand in the us
Love the video, keep it up.
For a grand you can get 1.8 tt quattros, even the 225hp versions, in around the same condition as the megane... Almost 100% sure the awd and the aero of the TT would have helped greatly.
The levels of insecurity in the comments are immense, hating on a guy simply because he's not a real life professional racing driver... it's a fucking challenge video chill out!
*Track$hack* on Instagram is the fastest way for tracking your stolen car I recommend him
Car Throttle challenges are becoming so hard, you could literally feed these guys boulders and they'd chew them down thinking it was soft candy.
Why aren't they using the same car?
Problem I have is that he did that lap on project cars 3. Which is more like and arcade racing game then sim. Try either the first or second and then redo the challenge.
you should to remove all the seats and other stuff you dont need to make the car faster
Is it just me or does Cadwell Park look like the track that resembled Crystal Palace in the F3 race in the movie Rush?
I kept on seeing that as well
The 'competition' was not fair, a professional sim racer will of course be quicker in a more powerful, newer RWD car with better chassis, suspension and everything, he can also push it much harder on the sim without worrying about any consequences. Alex' performance in the Clio seemed to be very good.
A chair and a wheel on some high specked PC does not simulate a race track lap challenge scenario. Not even close. No g-forces, no risk, no nothing. You can't imagine how hard, how physically and mentally tiring it is to drive fast on a race track. You have to experience that for yourself. It looks easy, but it ain't! On a sim you only get some of the sensation, but nothing real. I've had a Logitech G27 in the past, it was really fun! But only when I went to the race track, in a real car, I realized what it actually took to drive a car fast! Great (actual) driving Alex!
Pro Sim driver with Logitech 😂😂😂😂😂
Need a follow up vid where they do some basic bolt on upgrades (BRAKES!) and go out again with the same car.
Lmao mans got fake yeezys
Why is our professional sim racing driver playing a shit game like PCars3? What respectable professional sim racer considers PCars3 a sim?
why would he not strip it of all the excess weight inside?? that is like the first thing you do for any racing car.
Really cool video👍
no consequences of crashing like Alex had.
I still use CDs on my Xbox One, and still plan to when I upgrade to the new Series X.
Faster than Carlos Sainz my ass
I mean not to be negative, but "pro" and logitech dont go hand in hand, real pros use fanatecs or the more obscure direct drive units
A very cool episode, and a big props to the Clio! Remember Top Gear and the Clio V6, the first car that didn't break on the track in the hands of the stig!
Alex waddled to the car as if he’d already pooped himself!
1:31 “You won’t win this, this is an empty box”. “However you will win the contents of the box”. Which iss....
bro please add cc , im foreign so its hard to listen the british accent :')
You guys cheated. Maxed your budget on the wrong car and then took it to a performance specialist to be fettled for free. Glad you lost. Love a lot of your cheap car videos but not this one sadly
Alex . After a minute the car automatically closes its normal . Great choice btw Alex my 172 is still my favorite ever owned.
What was the racing game ??
Project Cars 3
wanna see that guy in a clio sport doing 2:01 minute rounds (he prob cant) Great vids lads, awesome driving Alex.
