GTR SEASON 5 | GROUP 1 OF 7

[@jamesbasey8023]

These races are packed full of action every single run! It truly is anyone's race till the end. Another awesome video from GTR!! Congrats to the drivers moving on.

[@BeaverworxDiecastRacing]

Oh Yeah... her we go! 🦫

[@TheMunchBoogie]

You all don't know I much I missed this racing................they had some SERIOUS paint-swappin' going on......Kowboy had some problems with his hood, I believe that hampered his speed during his driving, but in the end it was Lucas & Jonabi who both put on a spectacular show with some AWESOME racing. HUGE shout out to Gravity Throttle Racing for putting on a wonderful display of racing each and every time.

[@EddieDexterStewart]

I wake up and I get this! Let's go!

[@BoloBrown]

Another great race my friend and the best halftime show ever lol

[@Chris_Hood]

Once more, best of luck in your Porsche 935 over at Rick's Diecast Racing! It was good to see your builds once more for the halftime show!!

[@BoloBrown]

@@Chris_Hood yes It was But I'd like to fix them up a bit get some of those scratches off. I'm also looking forward to Rick's tournament I just wish I would've sent more than one car everybody else sent 2

[@Chris_Hood]

@@BoloBrown let me ask since you participate often in races. Rick and I were wondering if two month's notice is good enough for builders. What would you say is about the minimum advance you like to see from a host?

[@BoloBrown]

@@Chris_Hood 2 months is good but a pink slip that I don't like

[@joelcaron8291]

Can you beleive it ? Now, I am lookin' fwd to the videos of GTR before 3D botmaker !!

[@schottys-diecast]

Congrats to Jonabi and Lucas! Great looking builds from all 4! Yes the qualification means not to much 😅 It‘s each time again amazing how much work and skills you have put in this track to make it run these good. And still we can watch always surprising situations and great action that nobody has expected! 🥳 Can‘t wait to see the rest! 🔥

[@bigalscustomdiecast2504]

Yay! I got a sign! Great racing everyone!

[@numbskulldiecastracing]

Awesome racing, awesome video. And hilarious commentary. 🙂

[@MrDarq13]

Awesome racing nice comeback EP.

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

Dramatic racing again! Thanks for the great production, well done to those moving on, and some hard luck for the others. Cheers, Marc D

[@sstdiecastracing2372]

Still a very tough track. Great racing again. Love the 8 laps and the half time. Keep on Truckin'

[@moehowardjr.6235]

Fantastic show

[@SnowyShiftRacing]

Very close racing between all the drivers. Taegan Chance sadly made to many mistakes on the final 4 races. Great racing to all the drivers!!!

[@Chris_Hood]

Comedy should be like a key in a lock. Aaron, you were using more of a crowbar approach, buddy! Thrilling show as always, full watch with ads! Great job, Lucas, I was pulling for ya!!! Onward and upward!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

If Aaron and Richard continue their horrible comedy routine, they will be standing in the unemployment line with Tucker Carlson.

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

🙏

[@LiveYoungDieCast]

Some great action to kick it off! Good luck everyone 😎

[@OpaSpielt]

Really amazing. A poor qualification time doesn't mean that the driver is a poor driver. Respect 👍 🖐👴

[@gravitythrottleracing]

You are 100% correct. I've learned the TTs mean nothing... but the builders do appreciate the air time. These trucks are beautiful!

[@rhaymargamier3896]

it's an amazing track, but what amaze me more is the effort of filming those action with instant replays.. the position of cameras are excellent... i found this more injoyable to watch than an actual racing😄

[@fellipemattos113]

esse canal é muito bom Que circuito maravilhoso!

[@joeryerson9295]

I don't know why I'm watching this, but it's awesome.

[@RaSung0d]

The heartbreak!!! 3rd fastest track time, and that's how the race goes...

[@ruckus216flybeta]

I stumbled upon a old vid you guys did…and I’m starting season two now..this is hands down the best channel I’ve ever seen. I used to do this with my hot wheels..the inner kid in me loves this. I wish I could have met y’all. I subscribed almost immediately. Thanks for the fun and amazing vids. For real. Y’all are a gem.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Hey D, much appreciated! There are other great channels, each with a unique spin on diecast racing. Isn't this just a fantastic hobby?

[@mikepfister3542]

Why do I keep watching these races! 😊

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Why do I keep making these races? Hehe, same disease.

[@EddieDexterStewart]

Wow! You can never predict how a race will go!

[@gusthomas]

Good racing. And I like the bit of 3d, 2d banter you guys got going

[@kahfimuhammad1096]

I enjoyed this truck series. But I miss the sedan and hatchback. When will you do that again?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

After this tournament ends!... likely starting in June.

[@john-thorkristjansson7399]

Stumbled onto this and the production value is amazing

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks John! Much appreciated.

[@buecar]

Awesome racing everyone!

[@PainFireFist]

Wohoo, start of the new season!

[@harleyward7323]

What a incredible track!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thank you, Harley

[@brumzDizzl]

What the hell am I watching?............ It's fuggin awesome!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

You should see the fun from my end. What a hobby!

[@gdmracing1]

Exciting racing action. The tides can turn faster than a wheel spins. Gratz to the drivers moving on, well done. Superb entertainment and production. "Keep your roof to the Sun". Mahalo!

[@lrlthelordsracingleague777]

Ha, great series.Y’all have a great setup going on. Good job.

[@cemhochreiter3000]

The most unnecessary and fun thing I've ever watched! :)

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Love the honesty! Lol!

[@tylerwiesman6504]

Never thought this would grab my attention but I love it. As an artist I appreciate all the painting and detailed decor that you guys put into these videos. Keep it up👍🏽

[@hilanddoug]

That Bolo Halftime Show race was tight!

[@johndannenbrink7590]

Jonabi appears super stable, never seen a contestant that solid on the Scrambler. He could win it all.

[@blackcatpr1970]

Great racing !!! Congrats to Jonabi and Lucas for moving on !!!

[@rudimoons554]

👍 Thx 🇧🇪.

[@cashmoneyboys4628]

Great job with these builds guys!! Looks like a lot of homework has been done for this 2nd tournament!! Gonna be great!!

[@zeldadiecastracing]

Nice race bro

[@JunkyardJoust]

That was simply amazing. So much fun

[@drgruber57]

Yeah. You guys did a great job with this track and you both keep polishing up the commentary. When I see the videos done by other channels I appreciate GTR even more. Most of them are pretty cheesy for a number of reasons. Good job!

[@gravitythrottleracing]

We are learning for sure.

[@GatchamanG4]

Totally love the paning camera around the big curves. ❤

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thank you!!

[@prodbydripz9676]

3 extremely fast cars on the track, great fun!

[@rubevaughn]

Great race!

[@C64SX]

This was truly wonderful. I'm curious about how much testing and adjustments you have to do before having a race ready track.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I built this layout in sections (or tables) over several months. I would build a 3'x8' table, develop the track on it, and then test the cars until I was satisfied. Then I'd build the next table and continue the track. If you're interested I have 10 short build videos in my playlist that document what I did.

[@C64SX]

@@gravitythrottleracing Thanks, I surely will!

[@mikelacross]

Strangely VERY exiting 😁

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I feel the same way even on the other side of the camera.

[@MASI_forging]

Great video as always 🙂🙂

[@4kitch]

Love the push....nice teamwork

[@2scoots82]

Love the track ❤🎉😊

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thank you for commenting.

[@Collectorholic]

Nice race guys!

[@edugj23]

Pretty sad to see the upset watch dissolve like that.

[@SirFryStirFry]

I discovered this while sick and now that I want to participate thank you

[@richardmorgan9273]

In the end the favourites won out, though I don't think the qualifying times tell us very much. More great nail-biting action!

[@905Diecast]

So super close!!! Some great racing again…are we gonna see more Clone Wars at halftime this season???

[@gravitythrottleracing]

A few more, yes

[@Rhinexing]

Mark- Do you think that the four DNQ's could run a special exhibition race during half time of one of the Are You Truckin' 2 races?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I'll see what I can do. You're not the first to ask.

[@JorgeLDiaz]

Great racing like always. Cowboy’s crew should have taped that hood shut, I believe it disrupted his aerodynamics and his ability to do better.

[@Diecastclassicist]

Lancia ❤!

[@BathurstDiecastRacing]

Very cool! Subbed.

[@ThandrieDavis]

What an epic collapse from Tegen =/

[@ChristianTravelers]

Whoa! If Kowboy could have completed that last race, he would have tied the #2 Seed because of his drift.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

That's right. A lot of variables in that last race.

[@joelcaron8291]

I am not whining here. I am a big fan of the your diecast videos. I have a request : can you fix the white balance for the chasing cam. Right after the start. Looks like you switch cams with these two. Then, it was the starting cam that wasn't white balanced... And now, it is the chasin' cam. .. It would be great for the continuity. But also, to fully appreciate the first zone in the snow with the blue sky .. Thanx for these awesome race🔥😎👍 championships !

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Thanks Joel. The chase cam (drone) is a GoPro8 and the start cam is a GoPro4. I don't like how the 8 films in white and I've tried a few different things to correct it but was afraid I overdid the correction, so I didn't post it. I'll try in the next video and you tell me if I'm closer to the target. Sound good?

[@joelcaron8291]

@@gravitythrottleracing I'm looking fwd to appreciate these new modulated colors... .. Thank you so much ! As a fan of engineering and also a great crafter myself I fully love your take on car modifications, stats and track creation

[@gravitythrottleracing]

@joel caron Thanks! Just last night I was getting educated by a diecast builder whose career is in video post development. I'm not sure my software has the power to fix Group 2 video coming this week, but I am tweaking the white balance in all the GoPros.

[@joelcaron8291]

@@gravitythrottleracing Wow !! Balanced or not, I will be there. .. Very big thanks to hears my toughts.

[@Kastanets_LKR]

@@gravitythrottleracing I'm not whining either! 😀 I take advantage of these messages to comment, with the best of intentions, that for me the general light of the circuit is a bit unreal. I put it another way: what time of day are the races running and how is the sky at that time (no clouds, cloudy...)? I fully understand that lighting that huge (and magnificent, I'll never tire of saying it) circuit is complicated. But with the intention of making it as realistic as possible (I remember all the paint tests with the mountains in the background, for example), I think the general lighting could be improved. Apart from the "time of day", I always see the videos a bit dark. Of course it is an absolutely personal opinion that I write without any "negative" intention! I hope I have made myself understood, in my "broken english"...

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

All I can say is…. OMG…… 🫣

[@Chris_Hood]

Wow, you can just _POWER_ through that snow section like a boss!

[@The_Jihad_Ahmad]

What do you mean by Taegan Chance moving on possibly Top 2 highest points for the ones who lost immediately?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

There are only 28 racers, 7 group races, and 14 that will move on. Therefore, the top 2 in points that were eliminated will get another chance.

[@The_Jihad_Ahmad]

@@gravitythrottleracing Ah that's awesome Would love Taegan to get another Chance at moving on Loved that truck

[@michelleliu-j3y]

Richard how can they drift if they don’t have a sperging wheel and no brakes how.?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

The answer is pretty cool. BTW, my actual name is Mark. Okay. I explain this in another video and teach how to make a drift pad. Other videos use magnets to cause the cars to drift, but I chose not to burden the builders with having to place a magnet in their cars without testing. Go to my channel homepage and click on Playlists. Look for GTR SEASON 3: Build Videos. You want Build #3. Enjoy!

[@Moistfersure]

Would be cool to.see how the cars with rubber tired handles the track

[@gravitythrottleracing]

The rubber tires make it so they can't get all the way down.

[@aphaes1]

Are they free rolling or do they have electric motors?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Gravity-fed, free rolling.

[@aphaes1]

@@gravitythrottleracing then I can’t help to think how genius those track are. Well developed. Keep up the great work guys.

[@MrJruiz121]

How do I submit my truck to the race?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I post new races on redlinederby.com

[@jelsc123]

I really don't understand about why adding 2 points as extra

[@gravitythrottleracing]

I may not have described it in detail in this video. Basically, the best performing drift (BPD) will be awarded 2 extra points, but this can not result in a win, only a sudden death raceoff. It's meant to reward those builders who tuned their cars (or trucks) well for drifting. Let's say the leader has 23 points, and the winner of BPD has 22. They can not win with 24, so they are awarded 1 point to force a sudden death raceoff. If you're referring to +1 or +2 for crossing the train, its meant to reward a fast driver that executes a good drift. Passing ahead of the white boxcar gives them 2 extra points, passing behind the white boxcar gives 1 extra point. Miss the train altogether is 0 extra points. Hope this helps.

[@Darkgamer204]

can you show a vidoe of how you make this

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Jack, if you go to my Playlist - Season 3 - you'll find 10 videos where I document most of the build. Enjoy!

[@hilanddoug]

I had to pause to look at EP's Baja Bouncer. Wow, did he do some major surgery on the rear end of that truck, or what? Not the stock plastic tires & wheels on the back but 2 of the actual Real Riders that came on the truck? Amirite? Okay, just because of that (well that and I dig his channel) I'm rooting for Lucas.

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Yes, he did replace them. The Bouncer comes with 2 aluminum tires that are part of the rear post. He substituted Real Riders to get within the weight limit.

[@hilanddoug]

@@gravitythrottleracing Oh! I wondered what the motivation was. Weight!

[@epvideosdiecastracing]

Thanks brotha! ❤

[@cblade007]

Did 3D bot racing change channels?

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Oh no. Mr 3D (Adriel Johnson) is thankfully cranking out his usual top notch stuff each week at Race City.

[@diecastcollector2660]

I was really hoping Kowboy would have gotten more points, I think he needs a ratchet strap to keep his hood down

[@chad4208]

qualifying? Not the dumb shorts but a proper video

[@erikcarlsen2179]

Kowboy needs to check his hood latches! Lol

[@FRANKO-iu3dx]

who was first ? You or 3d botmaker and 2d

[@gravitythrottleracing]

Oh gosh, Adriel (3DBotmaker) has had his channel close to 10 years. I discovered it 3 years ago and was totally inspired! As a kid I raced Hotwheels on the carpet and dreamed of doing stop-motion photography. I've wanted to build a train layout since I was a teenager. This is my dream come true!

[@TinyTrackCars]

hahahah it WAS a fart!

[@Mike-ol7gt]

There’s content from the awful tik tok generation....then there’s content from good old lads who produce this masterpiece.....gulf of difference.
