Upgrading the Worst Car in GT7 to Beat a GT3 Car!

[@crankicake]

I recognise and enjoy the new quality of your videos in terms of editing and storytelling in the recent past Rory! Keep it up, love the new flavours of content we are getting 👍🏻

[@spikewalker6690]

The ominous music right before the race was the icing on this well timed cake. This was a grand idea mate

[@jonathangille8643]

If the game lets you, you should hold a race with viewers using this car with whatever engine swaps ect others want to do to.

[@Mark-oe1df]

@@jonathangille8643They really should bring back shuffle racing. Amazing game mode that they just shelved...

[@MatthiaGryffine]

If this was a real SpongeBob car, the driver would floor it for the entire time and never hit the brakes once.

[@theminec]

you missed a couple power upgrades (bore up, titanium connecting rods / pistons, racing crankshaft and high compress. pistons. This, a couple suspension tweaks (mainly stiffening up the natural frequency, taking off some camber, dropping the ride height if it already hasn't been, adding some rear toe and Anti-roll bar stiffness to mitigate oversteer / understeer) + some differential settings to ease the car's slippery nature and I think that you can beat the Supra's time. Maybe this could be revisited in a later video. Custom rims and wide offset do also produce some more grip (and check for any aero parts, although I doubt there are any that affect downforce for this car in particular), for an added bonus.

[@theminec]

I wouldve also thought that due to the sambabus' low downforce, it would gain time by using the banking? Please correct me if I am mistaken

[@pabo619]

I was wondering if he tweaked the settings. It looked like he just threw parts at it, especially with a 300mm+ ride height. A proper setup might get him in sub-minute lap times.

[@terjeringdalen6298]

He also needs to tweak the transmission. it was geared for way too low topspeed.

[@HarrisonBennett-ps4pd]

He could also have used a well positioned ballast to act for weight balancing wherever needed.

[@driftingstyles]

That was painful, maybe some understanding of what they modifications are and how to fine tune them would be more enjoyable

[@jamie9000001]

As entertaining as this video was, he could definitely beat the time of the Supra with a few setup changes.

[@presidentmariachi4287]

stubbed my toe when I read that

[@michaelbyrd4207]

Like lower it? Adjust roll bar, camber, toe, differential...

[@FinalGirlHorror]

I think if you added aeros and played with the suspension a little it would beat the Supra time.

[@jaimejorge6077]

This needs to become a series!!

[@Lb.q2]

Why not just stick to what you were doing and keep with the time trial rather than racing ai for the last one. We didn’t get to find out how much quicker the nos made it

[@isaacvelez5128]

Were there any aero parts available for the bus? Curious if that + some suspension tuning could've made this monster a little more wieldy in the corners!

[@nevermanishere]

A totally modded (not engine swap) Sambabus is a hoot on off road tracks; surprisingly fun.

[@leftundersun]

8:01 you changed engine but didn't change suspensions? How do you expect that thing to make the corners fast without lowering it?

[@eyeceman6995]

So this was the video you were talking about... Absolutely love it mate! 🤣 You should do more of these types of videos

[@SHIZURAKU]

Rory you need to add some stickers for extra horsepower 😂

[@channel-nb7vx]

I heard red paint instantly adds 100HP. Slap on a horse sticker and it adds 200 more HP.

[@himagainstill]

Fun fact: You should now be able to get that around the tourist course at the Ring in under 10 minutes, which means you can indeed say "I can do that in a van".

[@RahulShah87]

This is amazing. I'd probably take off the steering angle adapter. That's for holding a drift!

[@drew9141]

Who all's day gets better when a new video from Rory pops up!?!?!? Love this guy!

[@sturodgers87]

Perfect Sunday video this! Easy to watch and just a fun watch too! Loved this video Rory 👍🏻

[@scilens1049]

@Rory .. If you ever use Cockpit for Immesion - PLEASE use "Type2" rather than Type one. type 1: Camera is mounted to the car Type 2: Camera is mounted to the drivers head - Wich wobbles more and looks into the direction of corners - wich is awesome. test it on a Stock AC Cobra down the Nürburgring. Its the best feeling you can get in 2D :)

[@Sergent_Tourette]

i did a full upgrade samba bus nurburgring 24h lap, before i unlocked engine swaps, and it took me like 20-25 minutes to finish it. glad to see im not the only one wasting my time on useless cars xD

[@EwenThompson]

"Careful, careful, careful, go go go!" That was entertaining Rory, good job. Shows how bad normal tyres are!

[@gro_skunk]

adding a bit of ballast at the front to fix the weight distribution would help the stability and give more confidence to push harder through the corners.

[@HairyButWhole]

Higher roll bars and tighter suspension + slam it as low it can go without wheels scraping when turning. I bet this guy can get sub 1:05 lap

[@darvish2012]

By the way Rory, I did a an experiment with a Bugatti Veyron and Chiron. I wanted to see what was better: Carbon Brakes or Racing Brakes. I found at Special Stage X at Top Speed, both cars stopped a little sooner with the Racing Brakes. Feel free to repeat the experiment.

[@PianoMan10-4]

I can’t believe how stable the Samba Bus used to be before the 1.49 ruined it!😂😂

[@SparksTheory]

Well! look at that! Talk about upping the game! Major kudos for that effort Rory! Top class work

[@mistyisland343]

Was on the edge off my seat watching this one thinking Mr. Rory planning on taking egos of actual racers online with this thing. Oh well best not dwell on it too much..

[@Bled_x]

The only thing you needed to change on the tune would be to increase the Natural Frequency to about 3.00 to 3.20 for front/back. Would have made the vehicle a lot more stable. Great work!

[@Finch-xy7ps]

Great video Rory! The format and progression was excellent. Should definitely do a series on this every now and then such as making a road car into a Le Mans beast, making your own version of an LMP

[@george8873]

Reminds me of the old Disney Herbie movies from the 70's, lol. It was a VW Beetle in those of course, but this video still made me laugh my butt off with the way you were passing the other cars for the win at the end.

[@BravoWhiskey86]

An unexpected and enjoyable deviation from the norm. Some really positive editing and creative choices being made as of late. Looking forward to the “Non-meta” meta community races in the future. Great video RA, keep ‘em coming.

[@McNab1986]

tyres, suspension, weight then power. Easily doable in one upgrade attempt if you don't purposefully hinder the car on the first one

[@GabrielLoyolaBliss]

bro, if you stiff the suspension a little bit, you'll definitely have a better time

[@oldtimergoalie1]

What a great video! So much fun. We need more videos like that! Cheers!!

[@crazygoat457]

What a great, fun video Rory. Your content continues to be the best around and your demeanor as a creator is just perfect. I'm an 'auld fella' and have been with your channel as a subscriber since you had around 1,000 people. Delighted at your success. Keep it up and good luck for the future🇮🇪☘️

[@ebzbeats1310]

You need to fine tune it. I reckon it can be done. Tuning gear differentials and lengths are essential for curbing oversteer in and out of corners as you accelerate for example

[@shaunlennon2429]

You really need to do the Mini with Honda Civic engine swap next and all upgrades. That thing spins in all gears.

[@MhDizzy]

Mate, that was epic.... you're onto something special here i think....

[@jonatanromanowski9519]

That is fun! That's what we wanna see: being creative! Multiplayer has really became boring as of late…

[@CuevasGT]

Absolutely brilliant mate. Gonna use this one as a beginner of the online racing 😂

[@anthony_bis]

I would never jump in such a monster samba bus, I assume it would flip over in high speed corners. Waaaay too dangerous 😅

[@JakesterL]

Fun video to watch, great stuff Rory. lol You don't see that everyday, that's for sure. Hey after all those upgrades, did you ever get the heater to work?

[@sonywills8440]

Am I the only one who noticed that his last lap was like 1 minute, 26 seconds? 16:45 is when it cuts from actual first-person footage so you can't see that lap time he crosses the finish line at 16:53 so 8 seconds and the last of the lap time we see is 1 minutes and 18 seconds so add 8 seconds to 18 is 1 minutes 26 seconds meaning he didn't achieve what he set out to do and lost time between the Nightrus run and max run

[@Svg2407]

Great video Rory lot’s of fun to watch. Keep it going and let the bangers keep coming!!!

[@StereoReturns]

no need for extra steering angle or hydro brake unless your drifting, those things will only make a car slower around a circuit.

[@replikvltyoutube3727]

You could also try to set it to some kind of F1 suspension. It could be quicker in corners

[@captainx9565]

Hilarious Rory, that's on my list of fun stuff with GT7, thanks for the idea!

rory just a bit of advise on the final turn you should take it wide and go on the outside because you can carry more speed

[@gumbilicious1]

I am very surprised you didn’t adjust the suspension and differential, makes quite a bit of a difference

Springs are way too stiff. The bus should be leaning to the ground on turns. It has amazing turning if tuned right. Full throttle through corners, no problem.
