Hypercar Invitational 1| Ep.2 | Randy Pobst takes to the track with LaFerrari, P1, Huayra BC and 918

[@Detaileddesignsautospa]

I love how these are not over-produced and there is an abundance of raw driving video with barebones audio. Well done.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

good to hear that, because both of out of necessity and intent, this is what it was going to look and feel like.

[@SpontaneityJD]

@@hypercarinvitational6731 we love it

[@jacobcarter-gibb4910]

What were the little ticking noises from the Pagani under braking through those slower speed corners?

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

@@jacobcarter-gibb4910 we couldnt figure it out.. we thought it was the turbos twittering, but it could have been something caught in a moving part.. not sure. keep in mind that car is on some pretty solid bushings, it's a track version, so possible that something was making "race car sounds".

[@georgerosebush9754]

Well, raw is good and all, but it could at least be in HD

[@SergeantMoetz]

Randy - as always - did an amazing job of vividly describing how every car drives like it's a living and breathing animal. It's a real blessing to be a race driver that's fast and has the ability to communicate the way Randy does it.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

we wholeheartedly agree with you, and consider ourselves very lucky that Randy has chosen to be part of our small ragtag team of enthusiasts.

[@randypobstofficial]

SergeantMoetz Thanks a mill, I’m very lucky to have had this incredible chance to drive many of the current greats at speed at Road Atlanta.

[@carspotter9656]

Wow, raw footages, no extra music added, straight to the point, Driven and opinions shared by one of the best Randy, this is one complete packaged top notch quality video, Congratulations

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

thank you for your supportive comment. This is what we were aiming for.. something totally different. we will improve as time goes on please share our channel with your friends, we love the support

[@ziggyfreud5357]

I love Randy’s enthusiasm

[@TerceroJorge]

Randy is such an amazing driver and host

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

yes he is.. we feel VERY lucky to have him working with us

[@randypobstofficial]

Hey, thank you, even for me, an incredible opportunity. The cars!

[@mush95ahd]

This is just great! KZbin algorithm should push this video to all petrolheads...

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

we appreciate your feedback.. this is totally an idea we had for something we wanted to see, but he had no idea if people would like it.

[@bannedone3ice138]

Surprised this doesn’t have millions of views. Such a complete video with Randy’s thoughts after each drive !

[@stefangrubesic2708]

A great video, insane that these cars (other than BC) are 7-8 years old and we still talk and dream about them

[@michele_]

The p1 for example is basically 10 years old now 😳

[@ftnetops4264]

Pobst makes anything cool. His pure joy at being a race car driver is infectious.

[@deanroddey2881]

It must be kind of depressing to be out there feeling good about yourself in your hot hatch and Randy Pobst flashes past you in a Huarya BC.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

ha! yes we thought so too. that was our favorite part of the video, seeing the Huayra BC vs "normal" track cars.

[@randypobstofficial]

It was good for me! These cars are automotive royalty. And the power!

[@bannedone3ice138]

@@randypobstofficial 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@joelpierce3940]

It’s all about the fun. I am not saying I have anything special, (C7 ZO6, M7), but at a local track I was passing all. Probably the drivers. A Lotus and a Mazda track modded gave me the most challenge. I will never approach his level of expertise. Just for fun.

[@deanroddey2881]

Oh, definitely. That's why I find it silly reading all the endless arguments about how this is faster than that, from people who wouldn't survive a couple turns at 10/10ths in one of those cars. Give me a 911 GT3 or an Emira or or C8 Z06 or the like, and I'll be perfectly happy. @@joelpierce3940

[@NoypiTexan]

Randy out here causally putting laps on this expensive super cars

[@Gary-qd7kq]

Mr. Randy, I truely believe that God blessed you and all men want your job. I'm your biggest fan. You can drive the wheels off anything. Instead of paying alot for a fast ride, you get paid to drive the best. Thanks for letting me ride with you every time... Car God. Joker

[@powerfultoa7]

I just stumbled onto this channel and having this format of hot laps first + drivers commentary at the end is the best comparison video I have seen. Thank you very very much for including these cars along with the Pagani. I raced the Pagani in Real Racing 3 recently and was surprised how fast it was in lap times, so I was sceptical. After this video, it all but confirmed just how good that car is.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

thanks! keep in mind there are three episodes, admittedly the first and third ones are slow as there is mostly talking, but that is how the day played out so we wanted to film it all unscripted

[@powerfultoa7]

@@hypercarinvitational6731 Keep it up, I love this format and your content, just raw feedback from the cars and drivers

[@harpersneil]

I do enjoy well produced car videos like the kind made by EVO and Carfection (Top Gear is utter dribble...), and this is clearly very much unlike that. But it's really refreshing to watch a video like this - no musical soundtrack, no pointless B Roll (well a little), just raw footage. Randy as always is brilliant with this critique - just a brilliant video. This is criminally under-viewed.

[@MrLathor]

Nice that they just let Randy talk about how the car was to drive. He actually describes the nuances of the driving experience.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

we're glad you like this. yes our goal was to do long form, unscripted, totally natural.

[@girat08]

Hypercar Invitational very good work indeed, even when the camera man got a little bit lost you kept the footage on, because randy was describing “live” and refilming wouldnt be the same. You guys made something incredible with rhis project congrats and thank you!

[@dis6wood]

The Hyuara is an artistic masterpiece

[@ginoasci]

pagani baby !!! you rock randy ! i’d love to meet you someday and take a ride in a pagàni, that would be a number one treat if a life time.

[@962RACER]

Great video and interview with Randy. The SIM racers put a picture in picture with the driver or even a second pip of a footcam overlaying the main image of the cockpit viewing the road ahead. If you consider this i will forever be a follower lol, it offers such immersive experience for a viewer, and it shows every nuance of car control.

[@Illopp00ify]

Million dollar question is the Carrera GT on some R-compounds faster than the 918 when it's batteries and e-boost are out after 3 laps?

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

ooooh, that is a good one and we honestly don't have the answer to that. but.. hypercar invitational 2 is coming soon and we will try to find out. 918 is easier to drive hard, the CGT.. not so much, takes more skill and more risk. so hard question to answer.

[@netmatrix75]

I would say it now. Nope. The CGT is not going to be faster than the 918 even with the best tires. Simple reasoning? Technology. CGT does not have all the tech aids and race tech that the 918 has. I am pretty sure the CGT is more like P1, where you need loads of effort to get it doing what you want it to.

[@Illopp00ify]

@@netmatrix75 How does it not have race tech? Carbon Ceramic brakes and pushrod suspension. Also better power-weight ratio once the 918 batteries are done. So a DCT vs manual is the only difference. Without batteries power 918 is back to RWD.

[@ccc0007]

@@Illopp00ify I think what he meant is aero tech as 918 is more technological advanced than the CGT

[@carlmanu]

Legend has it that Ferrari issued a cease or desist letter to Randy for talking shit about the LaFerrari’s brakes and banned him from buying any Ferrari even though he never wanted one.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

it's all true. He now drives a tuned Volvo Wagon just to spite them

[@SantiagoCamargo]

Really spectacular what you guys are doing, looking forward to what's coming. I would have liked to know the times and the onboard video with data of the best laps, but anyway a very good video, surprised by the Pagani, is of my favorite cars, but I never had it as a favorite for its performance, good to know that also stands out in that. Thank you for the video.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

Santiago Camargo thank you for the nice comments. For reasons we can’t discuss, we were not able to publicize the times. But you can find out our impressions I’m episode 3 tomorrow

Yessir, Pagani surprised me, too, as you can see. Such refined behavior.

Wow! Some actually have an ignition key!

[@wherearetheavacados6356]

Some more exterior shots of the Huarya BC hell all of them would have made this video even better ,and maybe a better interior mic to enhance the interior sound . With that being said ,this video was a real joy to watch @Hypercar Invitiational Can't wait to see more

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

thank you for your valuable feedback. as our maiden effort, a "dry run" if you will, there are a lot of things we learned. having said that, a dedicated Huayra video is coming out very soon.

Regular Water Bottle Me, too, more! Thank you, and we’ll see about our next event at WeatherTech Laguna Seca in July.

[@extinct8208]

Very nice. Maybe some onboard data to be displayed but otherwise great. Longer steady shots to take it all in were great as well as no "musical" audio mixing to interrupt the cars on track. An enthusiasts perfect format.

[@palefaced1]

Out of all of these, I'd probably take the 918 or the Pagani.

[@3turbo144]

Was it just me or is the audio not synced to the P1 shots?

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

Benjamin Guillory we had an issue with p1 audio so we had to cobble it back together from other laps. Was actually impressive editing work from our man Ryan Hayslip

[@randypobstofficial]

But still a great ride, Benjamin 👍 Thx for watching!

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

we will have a P1 video of those laps.. we have been able to work with some of the missing video.

[@carichar87]

Aww nobody here yet☹... Anyways Randy, you've been my hero since like 2011 😂 ❤✊🏾 ... and i think the p1 sets the fastest lap.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

C. Richardson find out tomorrow during episode 3 :-)

[@randypobstofficial]

Awww, that’s so kind. 2011 was K-PAX Volvo days. The P1 is fast and loose. It’s a wild pony!

[@netmatrix75]

How about throwing in a Koenisegg in the mix? Thats one car that probably has the least comparison to the LAF, P1 & 918. The BC being tested here by Randy is really gold. I still remember Randy testing the P1 & 918 some years back, where the P1 isn't going any faster than the 918 even after the McLaren team keep tweaking it.

[@BJK1715]

Awesome vid! Why is it not HD 1080p ?

[@speedboy6663]

after watching lots of reviwes, it seems the italian supercars really have to improve brake performence. ferrari and lambo often have great engine and accelaration while good and reliable brake is also very important. 911's brake is a very good benchmark

[@randypobstofficial]

TONG XU They just need more brake bite, for me. Some drivers do not like that.

[@zdelacruz6296]

does randy do left foot braking?

[@paolojelmoni4930]

Interesting in the LaFerrari he left the transmission in full automatic, he wasn't changing gears himself with the paddles

[@paolojelmoni4930]

Actually same with the 918, then probably with the others too. I wonder why, would think he would want complete control himself. Driving these cars is too easy...:)

[@SpontaneityJD]

@@paolojelmoni4930 "Too easy" all right

[@randypobstofficial]

The reason for automatic is that I had only a few laps to drive, so it saves time and errors due to no practice. And many modern systems are as good or better than manual.

[@randypobstofficial]

Paolo Jelmoni I do not have time to learn all the shift points and corner gear choices. Gotta go! So I leave it in auto/race-track mode if a good source recommends it.

[@noahwilleke9978]

Why is this so under viewed?!

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

while we aren't after views like most channels as this is not a profit center for us, we wonder that also sometimes.

[@ErZocktLP]

I don't care if the 918 isn't the fastest on track, but it's the best for every day driving. A shame that many of them are imprisoned in a garage.

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

our goal with H.I., is to get more hypercars out of their garages. HI1 was a dry run, our next one will be more of a WWE wrestlemania VIII type of event. We kid of course, but there will be significantly more presence.

[@randypobstofficial]

I agree it is so useable. But the risk of some old painting truck dropping a ladder in front is concerning, eh?

[@randypobstofficial]

Hypercar Invitational Wrestlemania? I better up my gym time!

[@refuztosay9454]

A perfect demonstration of just how wasted all these hyper cars are when most all of them are sold to people who buy them as fashion accessories and status symbols.

[@alexioflexio8818]

what do you suggest as a good option?

[@JonAlycia]

Why was randy going so slow in the P1? 135 on the back straight is really slow for that car, the entire lap I thought he was just doing a warm up lap. Seems odd

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

you make a good poitn.. i wonder if the editors picked the wrong lap for filming? this was our amateur effort.. the videos from HI2 are being. put together as we speak.. we promise to do better.

[@joelpierce3940]

Must be wonderful to be able to drive hyper cars and not have to own them

[@srhatfield]

I am actually disappointed in Randy’s 1:44 lap time in the P1. I’ve ridden with @steelankles in his stock SS 1LE at 1:37, with traffic! Steelankles was going 20mph faster between turns 7 and 10a than this high powered super car. Randy was obviously driving it like he borrowed it from a trigger happy hit man 😂

[@hypercarinvitational6731]

haha.. this is good. probably had to do with tires not being brand new.. also yes, a borrowed car. also track conditions.. it was november and 43 degrees that day... all these factors.

[@sultanabran1]

in other words. the P1 is shit. the reason journalists don't tell you that is because they're not fast enough to put the car on the limit.
