Slotracing World Championships - 2019 - Wing car G7 Final

[@wasteddigits1713]

i used to spend entire days at my local slot car track as a kid ... this video brought back a lot of memories .. glad the sport is still around and kicking

[@MatthewsAG]

The smell of hot grease, solder and burnt up motors those places had.... nostalgia

[@saunderson01]

Looks like it's all about feeling the rythm of successive rounds! Impressive

[@brandonyork9924]

I still have my slot cars from when it all first started

[@cabelo75_slot80]

F1 Team: We built cars with the fastest cornering speed of the world! Wing Slot-Car owner: Hold my beer... Great video, JJ! Greetings from Brazil!

[@johncarl5505]

In scale speed, it would be faster than F1 cars, but yeah, it's not faster in reality. F1 cars aren't even the fastest in cornering. That title goes to F1 powerboats.

[@cabelo75_slot80]

@@johncarl5505 So... Powerboat Driver: Hold my two boozes and snacks! Good point, John!

[@ShawnDaniel]

Just got into slot cars with my kids and this speed is insane. I love how at this caliber theyre barely even "cars" but more so just hunks of aerodynamic plastic on wheels, lmao. Very cool, though!

[@ramkinstuff9140]

I’ve driven one there is multiple classes I drove wing-10 in Australia very hard to get use to the speed and timing of corners. But very awesome.

[@mada90x]

😂 that creep in the background 2:02 😆

[@nhennessy6434]

I raced in the early '90's. My fastest time around a track like that was 2.4s. They were doing it at 1.65 which is insane. I think they were using glue in the corners.

[@frankflex4465]

Goop

[@Techangler65]

wow that is crazy fast, this is huge change in the old slot car tracks i was raised on I need to look into this!

[@brenden8783]

i used to race as a kid, a big challenge was keeping the motor alive. quite a bit of strategy comes into play with gearing selections and tires etc.

[@supertroepie260]

how can you know what is happening at that speed?

[@mortensen1961]

Paint them neon, drop the hammer, and race one corner ahead of your car..

[@ralphsegelke8682]

Das ist total klasse gemacht. ❤

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Sensational Slot Car Track .

[@strokerace2302]

Kann mir doch niemand sagen, das er da noch sein eigenes Auto sieht und das auch noch großartig steuert!!!

[@headache4711]

Das ist für mich einfach nur affig. Da kannste auch nur ne Hinterachse und einen Leitkiel in den Slot hängen. Und Autos sind das auch nicht mehr!

[@WilDungenvanden]

Most of the time they drive at maximum speed. Their downforce is very high. Slower cars (without side dams) are much more difficult to drive. I am a former G12 Dutch Campion. The track records are still mine.

[@tschoelkopfmobil]

​@@headache4711 too fast for you!! 😂

[@95lovi]

One can bearly see them? It’s like racing Atoms ⚛️.

[@kylebell5129]

There was some tracks like this in southern Ontario. They all seemed to have come and gone. Would love to find a track. I still got all my cars, Ready to race!

[@MatthewsAG]

Does RaceWorld in Thornhill ring a bell? Late 90s I was racing there. Had a drag strip aswell!!

[@stephaniekent8483]

best Ive seen wow I can feel the love !

[@steazydaystudiosfb9511]

there just little blurs on the screen you just see the racers heads going from side to side as they try to keep up with the speed of those cars

[@teachatami45]

I would love this have this machine.

[@RageAgainstTheMachine.]

how fast are they going please???

[@captainkirk9879]

🤯 WOWWW. How do they keep track of their car...that's insanely fast..

[@bsg75husker]

I was thinking the same, cpt Kirk.. How on earth can they keep track of this? Unless it's all flatout it looks impossible to throttle control this. Insane fast.. And we are used to Warp and FTL, so we know what fast is. lol.

[@flowrepins6663]

@@bsg75husker tracking device probably.

[@rcbashnatic5395]

Practice. Practice makes perfect in the slot car kingdom

[@ryan1mcq]

Ridiculous speed lol, how do you even follow your own car?

[@16-BITFPV]

After some practice it becomes easy like the car is a sixth sense. An extension of your body and mind. It also helps that drivers usually pick and stick with their favorite color car.

[@95lovi]

Are these Parma cars ? That was the brand in the 70s

[@paulmenkens5997]

No, these are much faster then Parma cars.

[@Andrew-hp1yj]

How fast are these cars going?

[@jamescouden8730]

I'm not in the class with these guys, but my son has a wood 8 lane track and we have wing cars turning laps around 600 mph in scale.....JC

[@frankflex4465]

is this a blue king?

[@paulmenkens5997]

yes

[@calumjones]

Lol man, the one dude with the Mad Max nightvision goggle looking things bopping his head... the dude who casually looks away at the thing that fell on the floor while still racing somehow...

[@mech0p]

so is this a super common track design because im pretty sure this is the same track in my area.

[@paulmenkens5997]

lt's called a "King" and it is the standard design for wing car championships since the 60s.

[@ruthlessronniethemechanic5639]

I used to race group 7 open wing cars till the place near me shut down😢

[@jasonvicars226]

Cool! You wouldn't run those times on our track! Original "Blue King"! Guess were I'm at!🤔😊! Est. 1963, track....65'!

[@LowsHand]

Thx - awesome video bro!

[@bsg75husker]

Pls, tell us: how fast is this? It's hard to guess on this scale, but it is UNSANE fast. Too much for myself to have fun, but impressive nevertheless. :)

[@beroth1]

70-80 mph

[@bsg75husker]

@@beroth1 crazy. looks even faster.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

About 800mph to scale

[@miners_treasures]

Actually about 100 real speed at least in the straight. Been into it for 30 years. It's my favorite hobby still.

[@frankflex4465]

1/24th

[@MrKentaroMotoPI]

Blue King track: 155 ft lap length. Best lap tine 1.632s. Best average speed: 94.98 ft/s, 28.95 m/s, 64.76 mph, 104.21 kph, 56.27 knots, Mach 0.087.

[@RackwitzG]

04:05 Dude wears gloves to prevent his fingerprints adding weight to the car where he doesn't want it. Clever!

[@thegurem]

Holy crap!

[@DrDixonBhD]

I don’t mean to be Naïve, but are these cars really that fast? What’s the voltage they being ran at? Totally amazing!!!

[@jaboogietha3rd940]

I couldn't tell you the voltage as I myself am new to the hobby, but yes, they are really that fast. I've seen it in person, and it's nuts.

[@williamstrachan]

They run at 13.8V

[@buzzyhyendee]

high current. the motors pull~40 amps at start, cruise(full on) @ ~2 amps. 120,000+ rpm. this has been going on since the 70s actual 70mph+ ~mach2 @scale

[@hansi.b846]

Sehr gutes Video, Danke 😁

[@janjohnnygotthardt478]

Danke😁

[@dimitristripakis7364]

Amazing , but they seem to go 100% throttle all the time ?

[@ALFREDSTARK]

Yes, así no es funny

[@mrafard]

no

[@blueboat9581]

How do you even know whats what?

[@PaulJersey]

The vision and hand eye coordination of the drivers is impressive.

[@crazylarryjr]

Honestly the only real driving is on White, red purple and black, the other 4 lanes those guys were running flat out. And believe it or not, the ear is better than the eye at this level

[@33LB]

i'm pretty sure they just need to hold the trigger down.

[@crazylarryjr]

@@33LB In the middle (green to yellow) yes probably, but red, white purple and black (the outside 4) are almost impossible even with those bodies

[@mctube44]

What's the use?....everything is a blur.

[@frankflex4465]

california is the epicenter of slot car racing or it was when i was racing.i think it was called buena vista speed and sport

[@paulburr5072]

These G7 motors cost at least 500 up very high tech expensive hobby

[@BH4x0r]

unless you fully wind the armatures yourself

[@teachatami45]

Interesting

[@vernonsmith6176]

If you look closely...there are no front wheels...

[@jspeedrc]

👍 👍 🚀🚀

[@craigsharfenberg6791]

I say make em drive. Race on an American King

[@Robert-mn8gc]

Faster than an F1 ONE CAR . well they go so fast l cant see the Little Buggers . At least l can see an F1 Car wizz by @ the Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 F1 GP 😅😅

[@billB101]

I have no idea what's going on here.

[@m.hughes2521]

These are grown men..

[@richardsdao2948]

Too fast to have fun.

[@bsg75husker]

it';s cool, but way too fast for most of us to have fun indeed.. still impressive. :)

[@markwrenn3882]

Wow too fast for any fun

[@thelonewrangler1008]

This is absurd

[@Soussmeboules]

Cars are ugly, the track is ugly, it is too fast to enjoy anything. Absolutely not my thing. I prefer by far slot cars looking like real ones and track looking more real with some landscape and decorations.

[@lowercentenary]

Too fast, very unrealistic sorry..not for me.

[@stefanopagliaro9874]

Super boring

[@jezcon9467]

Way to fast Complete nonsense

[@Muerte_S]

WTF oO that speed )))))))

[@taz2311]

World championships 😂😂

[@markconner3234]

Clapping....hmm

[@markconner3234]

Weird

[@Mr.CreamCheese69]

1.7 seconds around the track...... 1.7 seconds.

[@paulmenkens5997]

The current record is less then 1.5 seconds!
