Sleeper Transit Beats an E90 M3 at Santa Pod Raceway!

Mick Rogers and his Lexus V8 powered Ford Transit was showing up some expensive metal at Retro Show 2019 including an E90 M3 who probably thought the last thing he'd get beat by was a rusty old Transit.

.....no matter how fast you're going, there's always a Transit van looking to overtake you.... 😄

[@BH-tp3pm]

Literally so true! And it's always puffing out thick smoke and got a right dirty Muppet with a stained white t shirt and a roll up on the go, arm out the window rain or shine and a sticker that says "no tools are kept In this van overnight" They will always try it!

[@cooperwilliams4686]

That is one very quick van But the reaction times of that BMW driver where shocking . Van had time to do a delivery on the way.

[@hojnikb]

BMW driver was probably on a conference call.

[@chrisburn7178]

Because the delay is so big, looks to me like they're bracket racing, and the van had a slower dial-in time than the beemer. Same for the VW. So the van gets to leave first and in an ideal world (where they both ran their dial-in) they would cross the line together. So it's more about reaction time and winning without "breaking out" faster then your dial-in, which would be why the van let off the gas at the end.

[@mattteee2973]

@@chrisburn7178 I dunno, just looks like a typical day at Santa Pod to me- something with no weight and tons of power doing inexplicably slow times vs something expensive doing its first ever 1/4mile run.

[@Daz555Daz]

Bracket racing. The BMW and the VW had a delayed green light.

[@clintway116]

The BMW had a 1.3 second reaction time. No head start, just another person who doesn't know not to wait for the green to come on to start your launch

[@DAVIDE-bk8by]

In the time the BMW reacted the van driver had time to pop in to petrol station, buy a Ginsters pasty, read the paper, have a nap, wake up and then start the race

[@subziro-db4oh]

if the BMW driver had reacted in time and made a start together with the van driver, then the BMW would have won

[@verdaqq]

It only wins becuase it starts like 4 seconds before the other car has even moved 😂

[@mk1kieran]

Verdaqq Also runs a quicker time, the clock doesn’t start until your car moves so would’ve still won if they left at the same time

[@Noo-This-Is-Patrick]

Verdaqq still a van though lol

[@chrisplunkett2814]

They run dial in times.The quicker car's time from qualifying delays it's start by how much quicker it is than the slower of the two.So in theory both will cross the finish line at the same time.
