Best description of this vid so far. 😎 Well said!

[@Chris_Hood]

What I said, but. . .with a Spartan economy of succinctness! Sometimes that's really all ya need, kudos!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Well, that was an amazing STORY! All the written quotes before each green light had me thinking about the Initial D Series over and over. I'm so glad I watched it because it gave me a great appreciation for the time and effort you spent on the video. The upgrades are fantastic! Sorry my modified Trueno stunk it up. Maybe someday I'll construct a "normal" open track so I can actually test the cars I build. Thanks so much for the adventure, Sean!!

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Thank you for your kind words! It was my pleasure to have you here on the track! Next time 💪🏼

[@lrlthelordsracingleague777]

Seriously! Man you just keep pushing that bar higher! As someone who does editing( no where near the scale you do) I can only imagine how much time was put into this, plus hats off to you for the vision and creativity. Premium job! 👍💪

[@Chris_Hood]

I'm nearly moved to tears at how enthralling this qualifying event is to me! The sound design _alone_ is a *master class* achievement, in which I could tell rotary from standard, upshifts from downshifts, and not the slightest bump against the track walls was left out. Lots of hosts can get good balance in their sound effects, but this tops everything, _everything_ I've witnessed before. Visually, a feast as always, supplemented by the astounding comic book panels at the new start area! Getting the overall look is relatively simple for these introductions based on my own work with filters, and perhaps an all B&W treatment would have been closer to manga, but there's no way I'll quibble about the choices made when the tremendous work and execution is staring me in the face. Like I first said, *enthralling* . Even the B-roll here makes a statement right from the opening scene! More than mere qualifying, less of a conventional race, the format again breaks the mould as we get to see how cars handle themselves in a contested on track battle. On a track specifically designed to maximise the number of cars finishing, that only means drivers have no choice but to push their builds _further and faster_, eking out the last ten-thousandths possible! Nice to see how many drivers enhanced their standing between runs where they came in first both times! Speaking of times, how a 16 flat wasn't good enough today, that just tells me teams know more from experience how to gain every benefit for this venue, glad to see it. With all the pure goodness apparent here, the final survivor race for the 16th spot had more gravitas and tension than what I see in a lot of other standard races. Some of your very best work, here, eP!! Good luck all, you gained my respect just by entering this white knuckle ride! Banzai to our 16 moving on!

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

You are a super fan my friend!!! ❤️ thank you for your kind words! I always look forward to hearing from the KING of Diecast FANs - OG-Hooooooood!

[@spoolheads]

The track looks amazing. I LOVE how the 90° crossover makes the dual lane section so interesting. I kind of hold my breath to see who comes out in front. It's awesome action. Just watch Sam vs R-Lo. Fantastic pass by R-Lo, then Sam Crushes the fastest time. Incredible. I also love the graphics treatments. Great work.

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Thank you for making this possible!

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

Russell -- you -- are -- good.

[@theskyway]

This is such a gorgeous tournament! The lighting is perfect, and that new start gate and 90 degree lane swap. Its such an inspired move. Beautiful contours, and such an exciting way to start a race. I feel like the depth of reality that your track offers just got even deeper. its so immersive I hope you feel great about it! Can't wait for more.

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Thanks Sonny!!!! ❤️🙏❤️

[@RaSung0d]

I almost got mad at myself for how I was driving. Then I had to remind myself that I was right on the tail of a guy that got a sub 15 time. So I got that going for me.

[@Bennyhanna7]

Gosh, I’m fully down the rabbit hole now where evert suggested video is a die cast racing channel… from what I have seen, your production quality is leagues above others! Nice work!

I love the Last Man Standing format, that -- is exciting. 🙂

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

That was worth the watch. Wonderful video. A lot of great drivers too.

[@aaronb8832]

Visually brilliant, everything was brilliant, really the lil chas between driver were comical at times . Don't drive to close I've got rabies 😅. Great work 🇬🇧

[@MichaelNaydeck]

Another amazing adventure brought to us by EP! Thanks for the fun, imagination, and nail-biting racing

[@hilanddoug]

Wow... Just... Wow. The creative artistry on display is stunning. Oh, and then there's the racing! Holey Moley did those top 3 times jump out unexpectedly! Fantastic stuff all around!

[@cashmoneyboys4628]

Man, this is the best! Simple, engaging & thrills at every turn!! Great Job! Puff out there making me look like a rookie!!😂😂😂

[@MrDarq13]

Happy to have you on the track my friend! ❤️

Your car came through when you needed it most. Nice car, nice work.

[@lonniekropf808]

Excellent production. The echo through the tunnel section was epic. Can’t wait for the tournament to start.

[@LiveYoungDieCast]

Well that was a chilling nail-biter and damn good time. 🤘🏼 Thanks for all the hard work EP! And cheers to totally beautiful builds from everyone!

[@craigsternelsonsr.1967]

Well done ep... Well Done! It was like the cartoons came to life... Looking forward to the rest of the tournament! Congrats to those who made the cut... ✌😎🏁

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

That was a massive bummer of a roll-over. I love you and Mr. Darq, but you had that one. Very cool car.

[@jamesbasey8023]

Well that was just freaking awesome!! Congrats to those who made the cut. Definitely some tough competition.

[@VittoriaDiecastMotorsport]

Just rad! Love the new starting section. Nicely done on those mods. Love the comic book like graphics too. Really creative. JDM’s have to be one of my favs. Can’t wait to watch this entire series!!!

[@212Hasse]

EDR Team has done it again with Stunning SIght and Sound of Qualifying Races. No Narration and Commentary required. Kudos.

[@cloakedafterdark442]

This is epic stuff EP. Just when I think you hit the glass ceiling you went and shattered it. Well done!

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

🙏

[@aramis4347]

I never thought this would be possible, especially with the very strict specifications for the cars that you can use to race in this tournament, but here we are. Let's just see how this even is and how the builders made their respective cars.

[@Tobys164s]

Wow, Sean! You’ve really raised the bar with this one. I remember your earliest videos when you built your first track with the scrap wood you got from your father-in-law. Your night racing was fantastic, along with your Fast and Furious tournament. Epic videos. Yet you’re still able to bring cinema gold like this. The sound effects alone make this video top notch. You have some serious skills, sir. Maybe some day one of my mods will make it to your track. Thanks again for the video. Great job on the builds everyone!😎

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Thank you! 🙏❤️🙏

[@ABCAllredFamily]

Let’s go!! The audio on this is amazing. Can’t even imagine the hours spent on that alone!

[@g-forceracing_27]

That was an off the hook production! Great action for a qualifier!! Go Koots!!

[@kitgoodyear9270]

That was a great qualifying event to watch. Your production is so good. Colour, light, sound and mood. The comic strip at the start of each heat is great too. The whole thing was beautiful to watch. Going to be a great series to come. 🏁

[@mcrpan13]

Amazing!! Strong work, as always. You never disappoint.

[@jerryrodrigues1390]

That was freaking awesome. I'm a little scared. The last time I got top spot i was out 1st round 😭 lol. Love everything you are doing EP. Love it can't wait for the event ❤

[@ricksdiecastracing]

Unreal absolutely great stuff as always but this just had a different feel about it. Especially for time trial runs. EP you are the Man!!

[@bent_rod_racing2720]

Outstanding! Was Throttled to see such Fast times put down. Thank you for your time and effort to produce such a Kick butt production.

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

🙏

[@ChristianTravelers]

Awesome Production! For 1VS1 qualifications, wouldn't it be fairer to eliminate the "Last Chance" run and give that car a "No Time"?

[@davenelson8187]

Mesmerizing camera work, fun to watch!

[@DogSquabRacing]

Great show! Excellent production and amazing cars! Congratulations to those who made the field!

[@variatskunkworks7151]

Love the track. Looks like a lot of tuning went into building it. Great format, lends itself to some tight competition.

Ton of work in this. Well done. Cheers Marc D Good luck all

[@Keithphotorama]

The starting gate I really like the Towers. They remind me of Gotham city in some of the Batman movies. With 3D printing the design ideas are limitless. Build an entire City, what’s stopping you?

[@midwestdiecastracing]

[@MonsterPartsRc]

do you have any videos or build threads that show the full layout? (the camera work is excellent, but it camouflages the layout of the track and how big it actually is)

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

I believe I show you the full track in my members only section of KZbin. It’s $1.99 I believe for the month. I also go live from time to time and answer questions and show people the track. The live shows are also saved in the members only section.

[@jerryrodrigues1390]

Ty fellas greatly appreciated

[@GamingOldtimer]

I plan to build my own track this year, may i ask how high is the total drop of your track from start to finish ? So i get a feeling if the room i plan to build the track in is high enough. Thanks

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Welcome to the diecast family! My track is quite large (not exact measurements) 12x7 foot, 7ft tall, set on a 2ft tall table. So the track total height is is probably 5ft. You can always build smaller tracks that are just as fun! If you need help custom parts and turns check out spoolheads.com/

[@GamingOldtimer]

@@epvideosdiecastracing Thanks for the fast reply :-) After seeing some Videos of you and 3D i bought my first ever Hot Wheel, that was early November. As i write here i sit on aprox 500 different Models including Team Transport and some Premium ones. From left to right i have easy place like 4 (bit over 13 feet) Meters per Lane, just the room height is about 2 (kinda 6,5 feet) Meters total. Guess i will have to do some testing how flat or steep i have to make each lane so the cars have enough momentum and i can still make as many left to right lanes as possible hehe.

[@rezasetyadwiputra3700]

It’s nice but seriously, you have to fix certain parts of the track that cause cars to spin 180 degrees and run backwards.
