I Became a RACING DRIVER

[@fundude365]

Thruxton was a complete daylight robbery. That should never have been allowed. But you did fantastically well! Well done!

[@boxalox]

honestly surprised this wasn't milked for more content. I mean, give us more. Make this a series. I'll be the next rookie driver sponsored by OVERDRIVE.

[@gamemeister27]

They sorta did. There's a playlist of unlisted videos of all the races, post commentary done by Callum

yeah i woulda raised hell.. cut track and unsafe re-entry. appalling.

[@mikey_bb]

Yeah, that seems BS to me 🤔

[@dolan-duk]

Robbed!

[@blairmcconachie]

@@Yom_Bristolit’s not caterham but the race organisers which is BARC, they provide the clerc of the course that makes the decisions. I agree it’s unbelievable, and should have been appealed. Caterham generally are on hand to try to lobby for fair results. But it’s not there say.

[@placeholder2924]

I think it was because it was deemed that neither was at fault and they didn't reenter in an unsafe manner. Having taken the escape road properly and avoided making another incident. These aren't seasoned drivers who have been doing this at a professional level for their whole lives. So we can't penalize them because we expect them to drive at the same standard.

[@Zachafinackus]

Seems like Barry is a nemesis, not a rival, with all the damage and short cuts he took lmao.

[@wontonii232]

Seems like SuperGT has been right to warn us of Barry all these years

who is superGT?@@wontonii232

[@lukasmuursepp2267]

I have looked at Caterham Academy standings for a long time to see how you're doing, Callum. It's amazing how well you did, you were first for so long in the green academy.

[@djangojonesracing]

Been a pleasure racing mate, not been the best luck for all of us.. my car still hasn't recovered from that last incident

[@BillyRamirez]

You got robbed at Thruxton. ROBBED. That was some horse-shhhiet!

[@dj_fission]

You definitely were robbed by those guys jumping the chicane. But you have the moral victory! Also, the America joke was pretty funny :)

[@SajjieSajj]

So proud of you! This hows that even regular people can drive on racetracks, have fun and compete without the need to be F1 drivers. Mega job!

[@geoffwatches]

£37k though...!

[@gamemeister27]

@@geoffwatches yeah, it's cheap for racing and you buy the car, but still unattainable for normal people

[@blairmcconachie]

Well done Callum, I’m amazed the result stood at thruxton. Looks like you had the pace but not the luck for the season. Best start lobbying caterham for a roadsport spot as there looks to be unfinished business…

[@StuartMcIntyre12]

I so wish Caterham would give Callum a spot for next year… Let’s get this video to 500k views and make it an easy decision! 😂

[@Shortstuffjo]

If you guys do something like this again I want to say that, rather than doing a compilation at the end, you could make an episode out of each race and people would definitely still watch it. I've really liked watching the start and progression of other KZbinrs breaking into real life racing, like SuperGT and Jimmy Broadbent, and I'd enjoy watching you too if you were to continue! Anyway, great job on doing so well even despite the bad luck! I'm sure there's a lot more that Scott could teach you too since it looks like you've got a good foundation. I know you've heard it before but the chemistry between you three really is great. You could even do a whole episode of Scott teaching you more advanced tricks/techniques and how much it advances your laptimes. Throw in some tidbits here and there of him and Will roasting the crap out of you when you're not there and you've got yourself a classic Overdrive video lol. I also really liked the videos where the three of you jump into random vehicles like those crazy karts or even the lawnmower racing. It's always good to see the three of you out on track together, no matter what it is you're driving.

[@BenjaminEggerstedt]

You should interview Barry while showing those cuts and damage he did/cause and we see him blush away :). Jokes aside, you did very well this season: Congratulations!

[@BAoxymoron]

5:43 "Are you holding all of the fuel? Anymore and America will come knocking"... As an American this had me dying 😂

[@lazartsaprev2580]

Man, this was so nice. I got more excited than any other race that I have watched

[@AndorMilesBoard]

Eat your heart out 'drive to survive'😂, this is great and would be good to see more like it. All props to the Caterham academy too.

[@lukealonso4177]

This was wonderful. I’m so pleased for you with a podium finish in that last race. It seems like a great experience all around, and I enjoyed you sharing it with us.

[@oliverbrigstocke1306]

Now I want to see one of Calum’s races, but Will provides the entire commentary

[@CarObsession]

Very interesting video, thanks for sharing, but as others have said, how the hell did you not get the win in race 5?!

[@ronbarnabei8226]

Any more and America will come- great line.

[@WiKUS_SMiT.]

This is awesome guys. Do another one next year please. I am in South Africa and would love to do some bigger racing than karting aswell.

[@MrGmontjoy]

This has been so amazing to watch, I am SOOO impressed! You did an AMAZING job!

[@crinklee]

Omg you have done amazing, well done. Definitely robbed on, was it race 5, no way they should of kept their places but I guess that's part of it. Hope you do more racing and look forward to seeing it😎

Considering the DNF that was not your fault, you were dead set for top 3 in the championship had you not been taken out. Callum you can hold your head high because your academy season was on point, well done.

Great f*cking job Callum!!! this was such an epic video and i was rooting for you the whole time! be very proud of that result regardless mate you did absolutely great!
