@@Tristancustombike maybe don''t look at the comments section until you've finished the video next time. The video was already 5 days old as of my comment, so I saw no reason as to why I should put a spoiler warning on my comment. if you look at comments before you've finished the video, knowing that there will be spoilers, that's your choice, you do so at your own risk.
Nice to have you back to your regular scheduled programming. This is how you do sponsored content. Subtle. And I can relate to it. Not some rich guy that no one can relate to that lives in his own distortion field.
Absolutely love this channel. Have for years but my word gents, the production / editing quality with the genuine personality the three of you have is truly next level. Giving TV a serious run for its money
Congratulations Ethan! That really is an achievement. It's obvious this was way out of your comfort zone, but you concentrated, listened to instruction and improved your skills. It's also a good testament to the car and tyres on the N but I reckon most of it is down to Ethan's effort and investment in this challenge. Nice work!
I love that everyone is using Llandow now, since it means we can compare all the reviewers against each other ☺ Alex is about 2s slower than Steve Sutcliffe in the i20N, incidentally! That's not awful to be honest- Mat Watson in a 992 GT3 was slower than Steve in a Civic...so I reckon we need an Alex vs Mat track battle (we've had the drag race on his channel already...).
@@R03333 Relatively speaking yes, the gap will be smaller than on other tracks but the GT3 is still just faster. The Civic performance gets over-hyped too due to the Nurburgring time, since if you look at it on other tracks it's comparable to cars about 30s slower on the 'Ring. I don't think on any track over 250m long it can actually beat a GT3 ☺ It's still very fast of course, but a GT3 is another level.
The whole “Ethan is not a car guy” doesn’t work anymore considering he has been solidly making car videos for 3 years now… They need a guest star.. the Gits (pretty much the opposite of the Stig)
I think what this shows is that you can be the maddest, ballsiest driver, putting the car completely on the edge and driving a perfect lap, but in the end, someone with better tech in their car, better brakes, better engine better gearbox setup whatever, their limit is going to be further away and can more than make up the difference of a driver who might not be as brave or crazy.
What it proves is that this show isn't scripted and doesn't have 3 lads stuck together because of financial contracts. This is real fun and real entertainment. Well done lads, love your channel.
We can't wait for our i20N to arrive! Keen to get started manufacturing mods, and working on the tune for them. Great video guys! If you're ever in Australia, hit us up!
Ethan did a thing. Also... As if 2021 wasn't weird enough already, slow cars are now cars with 118bhp that do 0-100 in 10.1 seconds. What does that make my 83bhps 12.7 second Volvo that I literally daily drive and carry loads of stuff with, AND tow a caravan with? Also makes me wonder; If we made the ecoboxes even slower, would they be more eco? I'm fine with anything under 15 seconds honestly.
To be fair, ethan does seem like the kinda dude to.....play up the drama a bit, if it gets him some attention. I mean when they do those top gear kinda challenges he called alex's girlfriend and asked her to call and lie to alex and stall him. Which is funny, but eeeesh : p we all know someone like ethan, lots of us are even friends with a person like that, it's why it's hilarious to watch him in this position that all us car people would be eternally grateful for, and just kinda whine and simper and hand-wring his way through it lol
No doubt the coached driver training would of helped. Also it's interesting the opinions about the rev matching between journalists and race drivers/ track enthusiasts who can hussel around a track. With most jurnos being like "I like to turn off rev matching so I can heel toe" While actually race drivers are like "great now I don't have to muck around with heel toeing so I can focus on driving" Difference is journals view heel toeing as something cool race drivers with skill do yet race drivers view it as an annoyance but nessarary action to avoid lock up when breaking and smooth/quick transition into a lower gear so it's ready to use as soon as you get off the brake and on to the throttle.
Would be cool to have two identical cars on track and time each other and then just upgrade ethans car each time and see just how many and what upgrades it takes until he is faster round the track than Alex.
I live Ij Korea, lots of those around, but it is called the “veloster” here. Also… hi un die is pronounced more like hyun (sounds like fun) day (with a weak y) :))

That turbo 1.0 is pretty zippy! The i20 N line, while far from "fast", is also far from slow. The chassis is great, it handles really well!
