This has surely been said a thousand times, but I don't think we fully realize how much complete and well explained information in full 3D animation we get FOR FREE, major props to animagraffs
Mind blown! The automatically deploying body panels to reduce lift in a crash situation were insane to learn about. Thanks for breaking down this engineering marvel and dropping knowledge.
Fun fact the underside flap said it would decrease chances of flipping over however my rookie still flipped over in the first stage during the first race
Some would say that it was better in the 80s when cars would regularly blow over and become dangerous missiles after spinning at 150mph. Nowadays you hardly ever see it. The crash at Daytona this year was very minor compared to what was seen back in the day.
I’m a lifetime football player, coach and fan. But just recently my sons and I have gotten into the NASCAR sport and love it!!! We can’t get enough. Every Sunday we get so excited to watch the day’s race. I have to tell you this was an excellent video and visualization to help me better understand the sport. We’re looking forward to going to our first race as soon as the cup comes back to Florida. Thank you for taking your time to make this. 🎉
That is great! Hope you enjoy the 2024 season. Just a suggestion, check out MRN radio and sometimes PRN radio(you can just Google them) and listen on the radio, it gives a lot more insight to the race👍
I had been looking for a breakdown of the "Next Gen" car without success until I stumbled upon this. You just told me everything I wanted to know in about 20 minutes....Nice job!!
Woah, this is an extremely well made / detailed video on the new NextGen Cup cars. Judging from the video, I'd imagine a huge NASCAR fan or industry insider produced it, but peeping around the channel suggests otherwise. Great job!
This is one hell of a video! It's a shame NASCAR and its two broadcast partners can't get this level of detail in models and explanations. Even doing personal research on the car myself, I feel like I've learned so much more in this 20 minute video. Great work! Really hope more people watch this, whether they are or aren't a fan of the sport!
Toyota partnered with the cal state engineering group and on the broadcast they can show any part of the car in detail when it relates to a crash or something that they are talking about
I love this channel. This was an especially interesting subject as I'm not a nascar fan, although you may have sparked my interest enough that I may give it a shot. The engineering behind a cup car is special!
Hope you gave NASCAR a shot and watched the race at Circuit of the Americas that just finished today! One of the best and wildest finishes on a road course. It don't get much better than that Here's a link to the finish: ua-cam.com/video/FckgYq82v98/v-deo.html
go catch a race at Martinsville speedway the track is only .526 miles (.847 km) long and the turns are sharp so drivers are constantly switching from max acceleration to max breaking after a few laps the breaks start glowing
Now this is top of the line, elite series, no BS, straight up awesome asf UA-cam content with awesome 3d animations, an amazingly talented narrator, and lots of educational information. A gem in a field of pebbles. Liked, subscribed, and will be watching more of your content.
You should do one on those clown cars where were 20 clowns get out of a tiny car! Still haven't figured that one out. F1, Nascar, sure, but those clown cars are genius!!
Yeah but I'd have to talk to clowns to research it, and I've lived pretty well so far never talking to clowns. It's not a good year to temp fate, know what I mean?
I imagine they do it like how we used to in High School when we'd have to cram as much of our team in a car and still be able to drive, we had a 90's 4 door Civic that had the interior almost completely gutted, the driver had a little stool they would sit on, other that that everything else was removed, seat's door panels, etc. like I said, that's how it was for us, only ever figured clowns did the same thing haha
I've been a NASCAR fan for years and learned more about the cars in the last 20 minutes than I have in forever. Granted a lot of this is new, but this was great stuff. Thank you.
Awesome animation. Thank you so much. NASCAR doubters should watch the Ambetter Health 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier this year (2024). Craziest race I’ve ever seen in all classes of racing!
In case anybody is wondering, they're called "NACA ducts" because in 1945, the National Advisory Committee for Aviation (NACA) developed the shape in 1945 as a very efficient way to duct air from the side of a vehicle (airplanes back then, but you see them on supercars today). NACA was dissolved in 1958 and replaced by a new agency-NASA.
Look at WRC cars been doing it for decades and Touring cars, the spining disk throws the air out from the centre and the wheel itself get hot too hot to actually touch 🤙do you mean open wheel like the type of vehicle or how the new f1 car have only tiny holes in the wheels itself ?
I sat here and watched the entire video. Thank you for creating this. I was always curious about NASCAR cars and the modifications they all required. I will share this with my Dad since he's the reason why I got into cars, racing in the first place.
Dale Earnhardt Sr was the first NASCAR driver to use airflow as an advantage. He discovered how while doing a practice test at Daytona Speedway, with his friend Neil Bonnett, on a foggy Saturday morning. They tried several different positions to see how the fog moved around at different speeds, etc. It took other NASCAR drivers a long time to figure out what Dale Sr was doing. Some said that he could "see the air." He even modified his helmet so he could feel the airflow on his face during racing situations. Dale Sr could do things while driving a race car that other drivers often thought were impossible to do. Thus, he became the greatest race car driver in NASCAR's history.
I’m sure I must have said so before, but your animations are so overwhelmingly amazing to me. CGI is still such a mystery art to me, I just can’t imagine the work that must go into something so intricate. All the parts that have to work together to create such a realistic simulation is mind blowing. I imagine you must get much satisfaction when you’re ready to release your work.
My first video from you: absolutely the very best anywhere on the internet! The graphics are outstanding! The very cool music balance with such a crisp audio. The standard all should aim for!
This taught me literally everything i was randomly wondering went into a modern era nascar. I dont even watch nascar, i just think the cars and engineering are amazing, now, even more so. Awesome video
You just blew every NASCAR produced or affiliated snippet of media about these cars out of the water. Lifelong fan and now I get to fully appreciate much more of the “magic”. It goes without saying but I smashed that subscriber button with much gusto than I have in a long time!!
From my point of view the best compromise between proven solution and competitiveness. This championship is the most contested with cars that are certainly rustic but whose maintenance costs are inversely proportional to the spectacle they offer. Thank you for this very nice video.
JACOB! Thank you for another one of your absolutely INCREDIBLE videos. I binged your entire catalogue on UA-cam here and I just absolutely love the quality of these CGI breakdowns. Edit: As for the aerodynamics of NASCAR, the dirty air and simplistic look of the car makes it feel like a brick under its top speeds. It's very important to understand that the sort of control this amount of downforce gives you is very significantly different than that of say full front and rear spoilers, or formula one levels of aero control. The minor slats and diffusers and wings are basically a minimum requirement for the cars.
First time watching your work. A huge race fan even though NASCAR isn't my preferred series, but this is by far the best breakdown I've ever seen to accompany 3D work in proper. Subbed
This is honestly the coolest UA-cam video I have ever seen. I have always been a nascar fan but didn’t really understand the “science” that goes behind it. This video is wonderfully put together to answer any questions on how these machines are built and get ready for race day. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
I want to thank you for this video, it's my favorite UA-cam video of all time. I run this Next Gen car every week on iRacing. I have always wanted to know more about how this car works. I can't thank you enough for this in-depth video!!!
Your comment may seem simple enough but it's actually a huge compliment! I'll always hope the effect of our work is to elevate and get folks inspired, even if the subjects we cover can be divisive other places online.
Dude, what an excellent video...I had questions about how these cars worked and you answered them all...I was literally at the track talking to crew members in the pits and they didn't know anything what I was talking about when I asked questions...
This video, 3D graphics and explanations are very accurate to the real world. I wish we had this channel back in our day when we were racing. I could have learned a lot, saved a lot, maybe won more often. We learn by doing and by trial and error. When you are a small team with few sponsors, mistakes are personally costly. I was involved in NASCAR for several years. We were not in the Cup Series, which is the top of the food chain. Very expensive class to race in. We had several cars and also, several trucks. They were competitive in local and regional racing events. I can still remember when Dale Earnhardt died in 2001. Several of the drivers wanted to quit racing. One of our biggest challenge was keeping current with ever changing rules. Even between tracks, rules could be different. When rules change, you have to change the cars. We always built new cars over the winter, based on rules that were published at end of racing season year before. Man, those were exciting times.
Very good info, pretty detailed. NASCAR mandated the HANS device once Dale Earnhardt got killed. They had it back then but most drivers didn't like to use it and Dale was one of 'em. Had he been using it, his odds of surviving that crash would have dramatically increased. I think after that crash, it probably scared most drivers into using it even if it wasn't mandated. Dale wasn't the first driver to end up with passing on from a basal skull fracture which it what the HANS device prevents. Along with the device, these cars are super engineered for performance and safety... along with the mandated soft walls on every track.
This is satisfying to watch. BTW tapered spacers are used at all races. The engine they use can still produce up to 900hp. They just have a larger spacer that caps at 670hp, and then 510hp for superspeedways. They will be putting in a new engine in less than 2 years with an unrestricted engine and hybrid components.
Dude, you're videos are super interesting. I used to love the books that used to show cross sections and blown up views of buildings and vehicles when I was a kid. This is so much more detailed.
Incredible video!! I'm a long time NASCAR fan and knew most of this but did still learn a few things about the Next-Gen car. I will highly recommend this to anyone new to the sport, wanting to learn more. I loved your videos on F1 cars and the P-51 Mustang.
Not even a big NASCAR fan and this video is awesome. Perfect amount of information delivered in clear, easily understood commentary and amazing 3D animation. Well done!
Absolute masterpiece man, I appreciate creators like you that take time to perfect and explain an entire set of info keep it up man hope all goes well with your career
You've nailed it again Jacob! The animations are just mind-blowing and you've done an excellent job in explaining all the details of the car. Would love to watch a video explaining how a WEC hypercar, Dakar Rally Truck and Indycar works!
This was incredible. The amount of changes to the bodies, frames, wheels, etc is astounding! I mean I’m not surprised with technology. I used to build 1:24 scale models of the old Chevy Lumina’s and Ford Thunderbirds from the 90’s (Days of Thunder) times. And haven’t watched NASCAR since after Dale Earnhardt was killed. He was my driver. :( Excellent job on your videos and keep up the great work!
Not much changed mechanically from the 1990's until this "Next Gen" car, introduced for the 2022 season, changed to independent rear suspension, rear-mounted transaxle, and single-nut wheels.
Thank you so much for answering countless questions I've had about this Gen 7 Cup Car. I think FOX is doing all of us fans a real injustice by not explaining much of how anything works on this new car. I'm pretty sure I even heard one of the those clowns up in the booth (Bowyer I think) say, "There aren't wegde adjustments on these new cars" lol. We need more guys like you working FOX and NBC. You are incredible at what you do.
Then we all would be Einstein/Newton for sure ;! The school fears that what would happen to Einstein's/Newton's legacy , if we'd be like them that's why they never taught us in this way !!!! -Period
Imagine if teachers actually cared to educate our children and werent just in the profession to collect a paycheck! We would all be a lot smarter if gifted, intellegent ppl were spreading their knowledge to us
Great content - and spot on accurate. I feel like this channel is the best kept secret. This content deserves so much more viewers. Although I'm disappointed you mentioned the Earnhardt and Petty bar but failed to mention the newer (and very important) Newman bar.
As the main researcher on the project, I had some questions about this throughout the process. The earnhardt and petty bars are identical in the next gen cars when compared to the 6th gen. The newman bar, from what I understand, was a second bar that was added across the entire windshield area below the original halo bar. The next gen no longer has that same bar, but does have a single bar only on the driver's side that does the same thing? Since the bar changed, and is now only extended across half of the windshield, I didn't want to assume that it was still considered the same bar name, as I was unable to clarify with 100% surety that it was still considered the newman bar. If it is still considered the newman bar, let us know and we will be sure to add it to a comment of "corrections/additions" that we add to a pinned comment. Thanks!
@@oneal187 Thanks for the detailed response. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't realize the "Newman Bar" only extends to the driver's side in the Next Gen car. Newman, with his engineering background, was responsible for important safety updates the last gen NASCAR chassis. He had a propensity for other cars landing on his and was very outspoken on increasing driver safety in those events. His scary wreck at Daytona in 2020 was the catalyst that introduced even more robust changes to the roll cage and crash structure of the car. But I'm getting off topic. Since the bar is different in the Next Gen car, I agree with your assessment, even though it serves the same purpose, it's different so it can't be assumed to be the same. I just didn't want Newman's contributions to safety to be overlooked. Thanks! Keep the vids coming, they're top-notch. You've done F1, you've done NASCAR, I think an IndyCar would be a great video and round out the collection.
What a great comment thread! I had the same thought about the "missing" Newman bar in the graphic, but I didn't realize they'd shortened it. However, seeing the design now, I think the name may still be appropriate. That extra bar seems to specifically reinforce the driver's front corner of the cage against intrusion. I wonder if Newman's 2020 crash had any influence in it's placement? Same name, new reason?
Back in the 90s, they had a camera inside Davey Allison's car pointed at a thermometer that read over a140 degrees during the race at Talladega. Back then they didn't have head and butt coolers. The cars they race now with all the air defusers, and independent suspension, one lug nut, shows just how far Nascar has gotten away from what made it great.
A famous quote, " There ain't nothin stock about a "stock car".... I've been a NASCAR fan since the late 70's, early 80's. But... Ever since Dale Sr. passed, the face of NASCAR has changed. Some good. Some, not so good. THIS, "new face" has taken it to a WAY different level. Time will tell, IF, this path has been worth it...We shall see.
This channel is something else!! Off the scale. SO hungry to see more content, watched them all! Can't imagine how much time this all takes but with more content, this channel is going to explode! Well done bud
This was way more in-depth than anything FOX, NBC, or even NASCAR put out this year. I’m glad I learned what the tampered spacer looks like because it honestly looks like a thicker restrictor plate.
These videos are awesome! I'm a big NASCAR fan and an engineering major, so I followed the development of the Next Gen Car, and I learned quite a bit about the inner workings of the car, which was a very pleasant surprise.
Man I sure hope you get taken care of somehow. This is amazing. Amazing work. This truly is education. Thank you. You'll never know how much you're changing the world. Imagine the children that watch these videos. This is creating our future. Thank you.
The interesting thing is about the Gen 7 cup cars is that they were in fact designed for road racing first, and then adapted for ovals second. Which is the opposite of how it's been in previous years.
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT right tho. They just changed the whole track at Atlanta that allowed over 20 lead changes and had nonstop close racing action from start to finish all because every year at the old Atlanta track layout it was always single file racing with a max of 4 lead changes and no matter what part of the race the leader was always 15seconds ahead of 2nd place. Hmmm now what other racing league does that remind one of.... ohh yes F1. Only thing exception is nascar had that one boring style racing at one track on the schedule meanwhile f1 races are those exact same racing conditions of zero passing with no one standing a chance of getting close to the leader at every single one of the tracks on the f1 schedule Now I'm not here to say f1 is boring because all racing is fun when your invested or find a slight interest in it (I know I had fun watching the last few races last year) yet I am saying to f1 fans saying nascar is boring well don't be a pot calling the kettle black when then most boring nascar race of the year is what the f1 product looks like all year long across the globe
My uncle MK Kanke raced in the NASCAR southwest series for 20 seasons from ‘87 to ‘06 and was fairly successful, placing fairly high in the season standings a number of years of his career including three or four top three championship finishes. He would race with a solid steering wheel after he broke his wrist(s?) terribly in a crash when his arm(s?) went through the wheel and it then spun violently.
Why aren't speedometers allowed? Seems strange. Just found your channel, and it's amazing. I'm an old guy(81), and had a very general knowledge of the various videos I've looked at so far, but your videos are so detailed that I'm hooked.

Wow! What a thorough and clear rendition of what makes these NextGen cars so special. One of the best videos I have ever viewed! Thank you!
Incredible video!! I'm a long time NASCAR fan and knew most of this but did still learn a few things about the Next-Gen car. I will highly recommend this to anyone new to the sport, wanting to learn more. I loved your videos on F1 cars and the P-51 Mustang.
Not even a big NASCAR fan and this video is awesome. Perfect amount of information delivered in clear, easily understood commentary and amazing 3D animation. Well done!
I love everyone that helped made this video! This is amazing!!! So much tech!
Absolute masterpiece man, I appreciate creators like you that take time to perfect and explain an entire set of info keep it up man hope all goes well with your career
You've nailed it again Jacob! The animations are just mind-blowing and you've done an excellent job in explaining all the details of the car. Would love to watch a video explaining how a WEC hypercar, Dakar Rally Truck and Indycar works!
Not sure what was better, the graphics or the detailed explanation. Great work!!!
This was incredible. The amount of changes to the bodies, frames, wheels, etc is astounding! I mean I’m not surprised with technology. I used to build 1:24 scale models of the old Chevy Lumina’s and Ford Thunderbirds from the 90’s (Days of Thunder) times. And haven’t watched NASCAR since after Dale Earnhardt was killed. He was my driver. :( Excellent job on your videos and keep up the great work!
Not much changed mechanically from the 1990's until this "Next Gen" car, introduced for the 2022 season, changed to independent rear suspension, rear-mounted transaxle, and single-nut wheels.
I am not a nascar fan but the engineering behind it is really fascinating and this video helps explain it so well.
Thank you so much for answering countless questions I've had about this Gen 7 Cup Car. I think FOX is doing all of us fans a real injustice by not explaining much of how anything works on this new car. I'm pretty sure I even heard one of the those clowns up in the booth (Bowyer I think) say, "There aren't wegde adjustments on these new cars" lol. We need more guys like you working FOX and NBC. You are incredible at what you do.
These graphic explanations are excellent!! I especially liked how the aerodynamics and wedge factors were described!
Imagine if we were taught like this in school.
Then we all would be Einstein/Newton for sure ;! The school fears that what would happen to Einstein's/Newton's legacy , if we'd be like them that's why they never taught us in this way !!!! -Period
Imagine if teachers actually cared to educate our children and werent just in the profession to collect a paycheck!
We would all be a lot smarter if gifted, intellegent ppl were spreading their knowledge to us
I was taugh aerodynamics like this tbh
Awesome video. I haven’t watched NASCAR in years, this video has shown me how much has changed. These new cars are nothing like the old ones.
You need to make a video on how a topfuel dragster works.
This is fantastic! I hope all NASCAR fans get a chance to sit down and watch this.
Just insane quality, thank you!
Such an breath-taking animation. Thank you so much for teaching me this.
Great content - and spot on accurate. I feel like this channel is the best kept secret. This content deserves so much more viewers. Although I'm disappointed you mentioned the Earnhardt and Petty bar but failed to mention the newer (and very important) Newman bar.
As the main researcher on the project, I had some questions about this throughout the process. The earnhardt and petty bars are identical in the next gen cars when compared to the 6th gen. The newman bar, from what I understand, was a second bar that was added across the entire windshield area below the original halo bar. The next gen no longer has that same bar, but does have a single bar only on the driver's side that does the same thing?
Since the bar changed, and is now only extended across half of the windshield, I didn't want to assume that it was still considered the same bar name, as I was unable to clarify with 100% surety that it was still considered the newman bar.
If it is still considered the newman bar, let us know and we will be sure to add it to a comment of "corrections/additions" that we add to a pinned comment.
Thanks!
@@oneal187 Thanks for the detailed response. I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't realize the "Newman Bar" only extends to the driver's side in the Next Gen car. Newman, with his engineering background, was responsible for important safety updates the last gen NASCAR chassis. He had a propensity for other cars landing on his and was very outspoken on increasing driver safety in those events. His scary wreck at Daytona in 2020 was the catalyst that introduced even more robust changes to the roll cage and crash structure of the car. But I'm getting off topic. Since the bar is different in the Next Gen car, I agree with your assessment, even though it serves the same purpose, it's different so it can't be assumed to be the same. I just didn't want Newman's contributions to safety to be overlooked. Thanks! Keep the vids coming, they're top-notch. You've done F1, you've done NASCAR, I think an IndyCar would be a great video and round out the collection.
@@Duncanudc - Thanks for the support! I'll see if I can talk Jake into doing an IndyCar in the near future 😉
What a great comment thread! I had the same thought about the "missing" Newman bar in the graphic, but I didn't realize they'd shortened it. However, seeing the design now, I think the name may still be appropriate. That extra bar seems to specifically reinforce the driver's front corner of the cage against intrusion. I wonder if Newman's 2020 crash had any influence in it's placement? Same name, new reason?
@@StevewiththePbass That makes sense! We will add a pinned comment about it. Thanks for the feedback :)
@ Animagraffs Impossible to overstate how well you did this incredible video. Educational value is beyond measurements. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Back in the 90s, they had a camera inside Davey Allison's car pointed at a thermometer that read over a140 degrees during the race at Talladega. Back then they didn't have head and butt coolers. The cars they race now with all the air defusers, and independent suspension, one lug nut, shows just how far Nascar has gotten away from what made it great.
😆
🙄
this is simply amazing. i never realized how involved the air movement sys. is.
What an astonishing video. Would you do WEC Hypercar please.
astonishing, yes..... would you do a home movie with me and an alpaca doing violent sex
After playing Thunder Alley this feels very appropriate to understand how the car works and add to the excitement. Awesome animation.
This is Awsome! Thank you so much for making this, the graphics are incredible!
Edit: Thank you guys so much! This is the most likes I have ever had.
as a nascar driver for 10 years I am happy how acurate this video is
sure buddy! lol
Wow. Amazing stuff again. Huge nascar fan here and I loved every second of this
i love videos like this, informative and with fancy graphics to help you see what is being talked about instead of having to imagine it. very cool
You taking a lot of time to post , but it's okay you always posting something deserve to sharing.
Good luck and thanks.
A famous quote, " There ain't nothin stock about a "stock car".... I've been a NASCAR fan since the late 70's, early 80's. But... Ever since Dale Sr. passed, the face of NASCAR has changed. Some good. Some, not so good. THIS, "new face" has taken it to a WAY different level. Time will tell, IF, this path has been worth it...We shall see.
Amazing. Thank you!!
This channel is something else!! Off the scale. SO hungry to see more content, watched them all! Can't imagine how much time this all takes but with more content, this channel is going to explode! Well done bud
Love your videos
This was way more in-depth than anything FOX, NBC, or even NASCAR put out this year.
I’m glad I learned what the tampered spacer looks like because it honestly looks like a thicker restrictor plate.
Nice graphics.
These videos are awesome! I'm a big NASCAR fan and an engineering major, so I followed the development of the Next Gen Car, and I learned quite a bit about the inner workings of the car, which was a very pleasant surprise.
Masterpiece!
This is the video that made me understand the function of an engine properly. You earned yourself a subscriber.
Man I sure hope you get taken care of somehow. This is amazing. Amazing work. This truly is education. Thank you. You'll never know how much you're changing the world. Imagine the children that watch these videos. This is creating our future. Thank you.
the exceptional video that has answered most if not all my questions about the new car details.
brilliant fantastic job mate.
This video should be recommended to all fans, new and old. Even us old guys could learn a few things. Great job!
I'd love to see one of these on V8 Supercars. The cars themselves are vaguely similar to NASCAR Cup cars but highly specialized for road racing
The interesting thing is about the Gen 7 cup cars is that they were in fact designed for road racing first, and then adapted for ovals second. Which is the opposite of how it's been in previous years.
As a hardcore NASCAR fan I have to say, this was incredible. Great job. I will show people this video when they ask me about NASCAR race cars
Way more interesting than a NASCAR race.
Gotta go see one live
@@LETSTALKENTERTAINMENT right tho. They just changed the whole track at Atlanta that allowed over 20 lead changes and had nonstop close racing action from start to finish all because every year at the old Atlanta track layout it was always single file racing with a max of 4 lead changes and no matter what part of the race the leader was always 15seconds ahead of 2nd place. Hmmm now what other racing league does that remind one of.... ohh yes F1. Only thing exception is nascar had that one boring style racing at one track on the schedule meanwhile f1 races are those exact same racing conditions of zero passing with no one standing a chance of getting close to the leader at every single one of the tracks on the f1 schedule
Now I'm not here to say f1 is boring because all racing is fun when your invested or find a slight interest in it (I know I had fun watching the last few races last year) yet I am saying to f1 fans saying nascar is boring well don't be a pot calling the kettle black when then most boring nascar race of the year is what the f1 product looks like all year long across the globe
Nah. It’s good but races are key better. You just don’t care to understand it
My uncle MK Kanke raced in the NASCAR southwest series for 20 seasons from ‘87 to ‘06 and was fairly successful, placing fairly high in the season standings a number of years of his career including three or four top three championship finishes. He would race with a solid steering wheel after he broke his wrist(s?) terribly in a crash when his arm(s?) went through the wheel and it then spun violently.
Why aren't speedometers allowed? Seems strange. Just found your channel, and it's amazing. I'm an old guy(81), and had a very general knowledge of the various videos I've looked at so far, but your videos are so detailed that I'm hooked.
Dude.. this is like the most detailed video I've seen in my life. Amazing
thank you, the formula 1 one gave me a lot of understanding about the machines, kindly do one for moto gp
This by far the best overview of a NASCAR car. Great job.
awesome work. can you do a water dam or nuclear power plant?
How it’s made: NASCAR Next Gen Cup Car. This is best video explaining each detail of newly built cars for this season
Another epic video Jacob 🙏💪
Jake*
This bring me back to "How It's Made" but with something I love. Awesome job Jacob. Perfection!
