- Punishing a Brand New Car in the World's Oldest (Cheapest) Motorsport // Lands End Trial Pt 2. In this episode Jonny Smith convinces Kia to let him take a brand new Picanto 1.0 turbo GT Line on the Landsend Trial. This may be the most cost effective motorsport left, but it's definitely not the mildest.
The trial was designed over 100 years ago to prove the robustness and reliability of new motorcycles. Then cars started entering. 2024 marked the 100th running event, so Jonny wanted to see if a new car could handle the punishment.

When reading the titles, thought "how awful". After watching, its now "how freckin awesome!". Probably one of theeee best series of the channel to date, can't wait to see more. I'm so totally into this challenge.
Thank you. Really chuffed you enjoyed this mini series. The big finale episode is now live: ua-cam.com/video/R0bn7c3PH3w/v-deo.html
Hi jonny, brilliant video it was me in the l200 and my brother in law in the disco who pulled you out must say you certainly made us smile when we seen a little kia up on the mountain on the lanes😂💪💪
Fantastic!
Good effort. The spirit of St Christopher lives on!
@@MrAjjm65....but not enough to thank the fella
@@mark8544You've never posted a video with thousands of views and tried to reply to every comment have you?
😊This has got the makings of one of the best things you have done on this channel .
I can hardly wait for the actual event.
Best of luck🤞
Thank you so much. We hope it will inspire folks to try truly affordable grassroots motorsport. Please note the grand final episode (part 3) goes out on Sunday. It's a big one!
That is one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen,why didn't you use the allegro.
Hats off to Kia for providing the car, this is such a fun and exciting project!
The editor needs a raise for the "okay lets go" meme at 13:50 😂😂
Turbo polyp 😂😂😂
The cant is just the definition of an absolute unit on wheels
It really is. We were surprised and chuffed to bits at what it could achieve with very little aftermarket parts, road tyres (from a van) and some strategic under-armour.
Wait until this Sunday's full length episode when you can see how it tackled the entire Lands End Trial.
@@TheLateBrakeShow honestly kinda tempted to get one as a first car as I passed my test about a year ago and insurance might be ok for one of those. But the manual and 3 cylinder combination, match made in heaven
Does it have an LSD? If not are you allowed to weld it?
Air conditioning Unit?
Great piece of kit!
This sport is a bit like being a rural supermarket delivery driver. Driver instructions: Plz deliver to cottage halfway up mountain 1 mile past 'unsuitable for motor vehicles' sign, if lost plz call.
This made me laugh as I've done exactly this with a brand new Sainsbury's van on its first day out! 😄
Done some delivery driving in countryside. Spot on. Given wrong address and ended up on some muddy tractor track 😂
I hope Kia release a special edition Picanto in recognition of your adventures
The 'bodgery' of the build is exactly in keeping with the event, as long as it works it's good! Really looking forward to the next episode.
Traverse Pastrana, Sir Ranulph Findanother. Hopefully we can have a Smith and Sniff sketch show by the end of the year
“NO ALLAN YOU CANT”
“Well there’s no need for THAT!”
Disappointed I didn’t see you there Jonny, but I set out early on a bike. I only started doing these MCC trials last year. Aside from the history and low cost, this also has to be the friendliest motorsports event. It is you and your car against the course, not other competitors, so the sense of comradery is incredible, with everyone helping each other out. When I melted my clutch at Exeter this year - there was no end of offers of help - including two chaps in a van who gave me a lift all the way home to my house in Kent! Superb fun. Looking forward to Edinburgh already. Loving this series!
Jonny, always like your uploads (idol chats, car caves and of course barn finds), but for some reason this little series I find most fascinating! Kudos to Kia for donating the Cant and looking forward to the next episode! Best regards from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Thank you so much. It's not exactly a sexy project car, but we hoped the premise of new car, ancient motorsport might draw people in and encourage folks to enjoy truly affordable sports like trials.
28:41 Thrusting the Cant like a good un 😂
Not what it looks like 😂
You’ve inadvertently built the perfect car for modern British roads 👍🏻
Haven't we just? Trouble is people think an SUV (on ahem low pro tyres) are the best way to tackle potholed England...
Really wish there were more high quality low budget rally video series out there. Already this is up there with my life as a rallyist on \drive
Believe it or not, I had never heard of the Lands End Trial until this series. But I'm very tempted to participate now!
Do it! 👍🏽
Great video. Lots of new cars have entered the trial previously but of a different era. We did the trial in our VW Baja and at one time were behind a pre war MG that did its first trial in 1936 straight out of the showroom
I bought a Kia Picanto after having one as a rental car while on holiday. It reminded me of the pleasure of a light weight, small car which drives surprisingly well so it's nice to see this humble little terrier doing this challenge.
Best of luck with this intriguing project and I think the little Kia will do you proud.
Exceptional. Jonny definitely the best motor UA-camr in the world.
You win the comments today.
@@TheLateBrakeShowthank you Jonny
Great vid. Sion a natural at presenting.
Agreed! Comfortable to listen to, knowledgeable and just a great companion it seems!
Just brilliant... Great chemistry between you and Sion. The Cant does well. So does the car!
Honestly, I was sat there with my mouth open in amazement, watching this little Kia valiantly attempting deeply-rutted tracks that I'd struggle to walk down! You've both done an amazing job and boy - Part 3 is going to be something else!
love this series, more travel and this thing would scramble up anything
We are now wondering what it should do next...
More higher! @@TheLateBrakeShow
I did the lands end about 30 years ago in a fully prepared Citroen Dyane on AMI chassis 1100cc.in Front wheel drive class this post has brought back many memories happy ones-which inspired to build a class 8 special!
I've worked on and off for many years on farms and smallholdings. A little nugget like this is as valuable, workwise, as any 4x4. Great stuff 👍
Remember the Cant! 😁👍
I would have to argue that autotesting is the cheapest form of motorsport. You can turn up in a completely standard road car and do an event for £20 or £30.
I did a whole season of autotesting in a Chrysler Avenger estate while I was finishing off my MG Midget for the next season. With a certain irony I did better in the Avenger 😂
I've taken plenty of hire cars on terrain like that 😂. A polo in Rhodes and a Fiat 500 in Lanzarote being particular highlights.
Absolutely *love* this, concept, execution and presentation - nice one Jonny & Sion!
I knew this would be awesome when I saw the title of the first part. Also, just by showing off this car you increase its value so much, even though we don't even know that it made the trial. I already want one.
I'd only ever heard of trials before this, and certainly never watched one.
Now that I know though, it seems like the sort of thing I'd very much enjoy attempting, but I'll settle for living vicariously from abroad!
The fact you're doing unspeakable things to a "new" car just makes it so much better!
Nice one, Jonny. I remember watching you and Tom do this back in the day, so to watch the whole event will be great.
Absofekkinlutely brilliant ! Kudos to Kia. And Jonny and Sion. Fabulous project. THE most entertaining series on YT Cars for a while !
This is amazing. Thank you. I'm really enjoying watching this and good luck.
You should have put the checker plate with the checkers pinting up. This way you won't have the added fricction on deep ruts
I agree and it will just look like a proper aluminium skid plate?
Just brilliant viewing. I spectated on a few stages of the VSCC Hereford the other year and it was amazing to see such old machines getting up crazy hills. Looking forward to the last part of this mini series. Corking idea Jonny and great for the channel. Keep the content coming.
Fantastic! looking forward to the rest of the series!
I remember going on White Water Kayaking trip to Fort William in Scotland. We used a hired transit van to transport the boats. I can remember following a Land Rover Discovery down a very rough track to access a river, we had no issues at all.
This is easily, already, quite possibly the best UA-cam build and race series' that I've seen yet! Absolutely mint scenes!
You are so good at what you do, even the name of the car is inspired.
Many thanks, that's kind of you to say.
Jonny, what you're capable of, and consistently putting out on this platform is just amazing. Keep up the excellent work 👍
"You won't bend it, if you don't send it"
Send it!
This is a great series Jonny, well done. Can't wait for the next one! :)
This series is already fantastic, jonny and chris harris are easily the two greatest motor journalists in the modern era, keep up the great work guys and cant wait to see this adventure continue.
A DC to AC Inverter would be great inside to keep those batteries charged for the compressor and the hand held lights.
Really enjoying this series of videos looking forward to part 3 already 👊👊👊
Thanks for watching. Hope you will love the big finale on Sunday
Me too - looking forward to Sunday then!
Just incredible. Thanks to you guys and hats off to Kia. Cheers.
Awesome! Look like loads of fun! Can’t wait to see the race!
I enjoyed every second of this. And that Renault 11, oh la la!!! Sian is a man of exquisite taste.
"Not what it looks like" Classic.
Loving this!
This has been really interesting to watch.. can't wait for the actual trial footage.
Finally an original interesting series that’s not just another crash damaged car or road trip to the nurberg
This is awesome Jonny!!
This is SO enjoyable guys - great stuff. Sion is great.
You guys can do it - CANT CAN !!!!
Love this project, amazed at the ingenuity of this modifications! 👌
Bloody brilliant... looking forward to Sunday, I "cant" wait!
Really looking forward to seeing you do the trial! Get as much practice in as you can 😀
Brilliant update, looking forward to seeing your progress on the event, best of british 🐈👍
Can’t wait for the event!!!
Best of luck juggling the filming and the driving!!!
🤣🤣🤣
I love this series. Please bring us more content on trials. I'd love to see you take part in sporting trials also
2CV-esque great stuff! love this :)
This is really great content - surely must be able to get manufacturer support to do more of these adventures - like a behind the scenes on a TG challenge! Well done J
I'm looking forward to seeing your event video, thanks as always Rj in Oz
2 top fellas doing something really amazing. Good work 👏
Really thrilling stuff! Good lads.
That looked brilliant fun. It brought back memories of me and my mates doing similarly daft stuff in crappy old Minis in the 1990's.
This is going to be great! Best of luck to you both.
Brilliant video. What fun! Cheersmate
Excellent stuff man. Love it!
Loving the mini series!
I hope you and Sion take on more motorsports together in future episodes!
This has got to be one of the most exciting things I've seen you do. Fantastic.
✊🏽🍻
Brilliant stuff, really enjoying the series and good luck to you all 👍
Oh and that Renault 11 Turbos awsome, my big brother had one in the mid 90s, happy memories ❤
This is so much fun. Excited to see the next one.
✊🏽 Not long to wait
Loving this! Roll on Sunday. Hm, wonder if you will roll on Sunday. 😁
Love it, looking forward to part three for sure
I think this series is my favorite on the channel so far, I love it. Can't wait to see how the Cant does in the event!
CANT wait, yeah?
I will watch this a thousand times more than drifting any day!
Great effort! Will definitely be back on Sunday to see if the Cant can. 👍
Deserves 10x the views! Excellent video series
The smiles per mile from the sofa are numerous, can’t wait for the actual event, I am resisting looking for the results.
Brilliant stuff! Nice to notice that the background Renault has come a long way between parts as well.
This looks amazing. Basic safety mods but it's still just a little Cant against the road. Really shows how capable even the most modest car is nowadays.
I'm looking forward to the next videos!
Magic! Good luck lads!👍
Great series!! 👏👏👏😍😍😍
Instant thumbs up, love this series already!
This is awesome, so are you for doing it, and small cars rule!!!
Very invested in this series. No idea why
Because it's good old fashioned unpretentious car fun
lol, that looks like lots of fun…looking forward to the next one.
Great stuff. We have a Picanto, so i'm looking forward to seeing how it does!
This a great series can't wait for next episode 👍
Tactical hosepipe…brilliant. Looking forward to the trial.
Absolutely first class looking forward to seeing the track race it's looking like a right laugh 😃 the cant is certainly proving itself. Great modifications. The picanto is normally played down on the roads. But kia has come a long way since the old days.
This is fantastic!
Cant wait to see more of this Picanto. Wicked!!!
Love this series Jonny ❤
Looks like a fun time! Especially when the car is someone else's!
This is so much fun to watch
Loving this series
Loving this 3 part story ❤
