$1500 Fastest Car Road Trip Challenge

[@MikeL28017]

As a huge 'Car Throttle' and old school 'Top Gear' fan... I'm super excited to see you guys dip a toe into this kind of content; feel free to take a full dive in!

[@flandrble]

would've loved to see overtakes counted while they were in pit lane.

They were, that's why Callum lost!

[@MSDX360]

@@OVERDRIVE.studios Keep at it man, the mix between extremely informative engineering videos that actually go deep on the math, physics, etc. and these fun series where you fool around is some of the best car content on KZbin right now.

[@Thohean]

I thought this was a Car Throttle video and was confused when the hosts were different.

[@flandrble]

@@Thohean its car throttle, but better :P

[@PeterTeal77]

Scott choosing comfort over performance, because he knows he's gonna kill it on track regardless is a big brain move. Great, fun video

[@MrDragonballzjp]

You are so damn right

[@jackmagnium6115]

well jaguar does have a history of being in racing. so its no surprise a business man muscle sedan can put up a fight against 2 germans(mercedes and audi)

[@jcgabriel1569]

Seems to be a kind of thing James May would've done... It's already fast enough, so the only thing left is to make it comfortable...

[@100PercentJake]

Seeing that big Jag get hustled around a circuit by an experienced driver was a load of fun. Props to Will for catching on and absolutely sending it in the SLK; looked like he was having a blast!

As a European, still sad they put mpg and stuff like that for fuel consumption instead of L/100km but I'll get over it lol. At least converting USD into Euro is easy right now lmao

Epic!! Good thing there's enough room on YT for you guys, Car Trek, and Car Throttle!! The more car challenges the better! Just put £s in the thumbnail now 😂

So true, I hate it when they try and appeal to their American viewers, cause now we have to convert dollars into pounds!

18:26 Never a truer word spoken 👌🏻 "It doesn't matter what you drive. It's about driving the car close to it's limit and not how fast you are going" After shopping for something tasty like a BM 330 I've finally realised I just want something cheap and fun to feeling around. Decided on either an MX5 or a mk3 MR2

I have a feeling that I'm going to watch this many, many times. Epic fun lads!

New series idea: get Will a cheap track car plus lessons from Scott, and let's watch him fly

[@bobbycheese22]

Or build their own trackday car

[@bbrod14]

Been a huge fan of Scott's content for years, glad to see what it's growing into. I'm a sucker for old school circuits too, would love to see you guys keep that motorsport flavour in future videos.

[@Pedun42]

This is outstanding. I feel like that food critic in Ratatouille being transported back in time. The chemistry between you three is fantastic.

[@PetrolHead_Works]

If you continue to make content like this, you will get millions of subscribers. Carry on guys 👍

[@shadow105720]

5:47 seeing 3 semis side by side really shows that America and the UK aren't so different after all. But damn $100+ for 16 gallons is a lot. I'm crying every time I put that much in my truck for $60 once a week.

[@trueno2336]

I feel like I've found my home when I'm watching these types of videos from you guys. I didn't enjoy a video like this in a while so thank you Driven Media!

[@jimmybob331]

This channel has become what was the best of 2000s Top Gear and it's so bloody welcome!

[@cleonzenasro2998]

The reason I liked Top Gear USA was because of Taner Faust a professional driver, and I'm very excited for this series because of Scott. It gives a different vibe from Car Trek or throttle house challenges.

[@shadywhisper8455]

Great video, really enjoyed how well integrated the sponsor was too

[@j4cko56]

Those Jags are bloody brilliant! I took a 4.0 around the Nurburgring back in 2018 a number of times, absolute hoot! Cruising at 50-60mph they will do over 40mpg as it is hardly ticking over, genuinely great cars!

[@midlifecrisis9269]

Great vid, loved seeing the jag bounce around, no replacement for displacement, and a racing driver behind the wheel 💪. Great vid

[@Oilcancap]

Some really strong Old Top Gear vibes, but loved seeing the chemistry between you three! That JJJaaaggg needs some proper setup and it'll devour all, so long as Scott is driving...

[@crappytoast2441]

I missed this, thank you for creating a top gear-esk episode of buying some car and driving with it, love it!

[@bbbmarko1]

[@averieaurelia6505]

This is the next grand tour. The top gear. This is the best of both series. These personalities, oh I'm in tears. Thank you for reminding me of the best car show. You've got what it takes to shift it a gear higher, to go on an even grander tour.

[@johncallahan118]

Great video ! 😃 I like the fact there is humor without ruining the other’s car. 😍 The mood of the video is great. This kind of content reminds us the fun that can be had, without breaking the bank. Keep doing what you’re doing. 😄 Take care.

[@123Ir0nman]

Absolutely loving the top gear style episode! I feel like the Audi was the most Hammond choice, the Mercedes was the most James May choice, and the Jag was the most Clarkson choice because V8 rear wheel drive Or the SLK is Clarkson and the Jag is May because captain slow with the spongiest suspension and heaviest car.

A lot of KZbinrs do the classic top gear challenges nowadays. Not everyone manages to make it fun however, but you guys sure did! Would definitely like to see more videos like this! Just make sure you keep it genuine and not the fake, badly acted, scripted stuff they do in the US.

[@wonisch_pj]

I just wish the video would be longer! I really like the Top Gear Special style, I just think you should really lean into that and do more little challenges and give the whole tour a goal of some sorts (not just finding the best car to drive).

[@ThOrZwAr]

$146 for 16.1 gallons... wow. I will not complain about fuel prices in the US any longer...

[@tylerphuoc2653]

Honestly, after seeing UK and EU pricing, no person from the States really should

[@heythereitsissy]

To be fair, those fuel stations were on the motorway so they’re a bit more expensive than the average price. However, the price is ridiculous even at the ‘cheapest’ petrol stations at the moment!

seeing the price for gas was eye opening. I am here in texas, where my local gas is about $4.50 per gallon (.986 pounds/litre if my calculation is right), so seeing you pay $146 on gas was quite surprising. For reference, 15.5 gallons (58.674 litres) of 93 octane costs me about $65 (53.96 pounds).

This was such a great watch and the result in the end really tied in how much fun this video ended up being. Huge Top Gear vibes and loved every second of it.

Try driving one yourself - and don't be deceived by the soft ride, especially on the XJ Sport and XJR.

[@that_wagon_guy]

So this is better than other series that do this style of challenges because everyone is mechanically minded. Pretty much every other series formula is to have at least one person who can spit figures out but couldn't turn a wrench to save their life. In my opinion this is the best way to do it!
