Yeah and a bunch of professionals built his at a decent cost to James I would imagine where James probably took the kids to a hardware store and said go mental 🤷🏻♂️
@@HSMiyamoto the swing is basically a pendulum, and by moving your legs, you offset it's center of mass in such a way that assists the oscillation. By swinging your head forward and back in a cart you achieve nothing and make yourself look ridiculous

Not much; better to apply that rearward force through a prop driven by an engine.

No. If we assume the start speed is zero and the end height is zero: Classic mechanics state that the conservation of mechanical energy is mgh=1/2 mv^2 This can be simplified to v=sqrt(2gh) V =speed and here we see that the masses cancel each other out. If you are considering air drag yes it would have a lower impact but the friction from the wheels and steering would slow it down more with increased mass.
They really are well into their teenage years and their high school specailises in engineering. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipton_Girls%27_High_School To me this looks like a state school (girls) team vs a public school (boys) team?
you know what that cart needs? a 6.2 litre V8
A v8 Cummins
Edrick Ong i got a 7 liter v8 modur
Hammond?
POW-WAH!
Charlie's Models I saw that episode, how does one get only 200hp from a 7 liter V8 modurr
tbh James' cart did have more style.
it actually looked like a cart instead of a fancy lawnchair
@@Garf2O he didnt build it tho😂
@MrDalek2150 It did. Until he sat in it.
Yeah and a bunch of professionals built his at a decent cost to James I would imagine where James probably took the kids to a hardware store and said go mental 🤷🏻♂️
Cost a hell of a lot more too.
If that was Clarkson he would've cheated and used an electric motor in the kart.
with a jet engine and nitrous oxide
and it would end up catching fire somehow.
There cars are so cute
But he would fix it with a hammer
But it probably would have fallen apart like the dudes' one.
They’re lucky that they didn’t face the stig
he could do this in 15 seconds
yeah, he’d slide around
Some say that he needs no engine...and that he drives only down hills....all we know is..he is not the stig...but he is the stig's kart driving cousin
But they were facing The Stig. That was James all along.
Stigs 13 year old cousin
2:57 "Captain Slow, living up to his name." -Richard Hammond
I ACTUALLY SAID THAT! AM I RICHARD?
@@ForsternTheProtogen I think you used your alt account Mr Hammond
It's rich hearing about boys being slow from Captain Slow of all people.
First answer in six years
As Jeremy would say.. British engineering
Oh you know that made the UK stronger.
*****
You are now free from the left wing bureaucratic nightmare known as the EU.
***** Yeah yeah, the politicians obviously don't want this so why expect anything?
No Doug demuro would ua-cam.com/video/lBGfCiZmRAQ/v-deo.html&feature=share
‘You- Leaden footed Buffoons’
One of my favourite May insults

" I'll use the mass of my head, to pendulum "
Yep. That's a first.
Think about how you used your legs on the swing set. Its the same principle and it works.
@@HSMiyamoto no, no it doesn't..

James is its own sex
Did you just assume his gender?
James is of James gender, yes.
No there is 2 genders
C001 DUDE Yes. James and everybody else.
C001 DUDE there are 3 genders, 4 genders, even 5!
3:18 when an absolute banger comes on
This show is awesome, all its missing is Hammond and Jeremy
Welcome back to this comment.
Speeeeed and poowwweeerr
Rare footage of the first rally cross [Colorized 1943]
so it ended up as the girls vs boys vs the old lady
definitely a james may style and speed race
Brings back memories, sadly health and safety totally ruined my village's Go-Kart race
Health and safety is probably why Britain would never land a Man or Woman on the Moon.
Reminds me of how there would be go cart races down the hill with wine vines.
Some nasty accidents of people flying into a barb wire fence but the great memories will always stay.
And then there is the US where we designed and built an electric trike for competition.
Health and safety means glue eaters get to have children.
0:42 The Bio-Hazard 😂
"Captain Slow, living up to his name there!"
Top geR crazy inventions
2:52
The funniest frame I've seen this year
Captain Slow at it again.
Literally.
I laughed when he said "Crikey! They're off to a good start." All you see is a kart going around 5 mph.
1:40 that'll buff out
Look what do you did to my CART MAHN!
Let’s not get bogged down who broke what wheel
If Hammond was there he would have had an Ariel atom
weird way of saying accident
He would have made a documentary on it
3:15 - James turbo-boosting his cart by bobbing his head-in-helmet back and forth ... eh ... genius ?
"...useless push by the traitor to its sex" 😂😂😂😭😭
he should've brought the p45.
boys kart was a poor effort, bound for failure.
Dusty Korpse p
@Aussiumo the girls come from an engineering school lol, what would you expect
Scripted.
Maybe the boys kart was made by girls and the girls kart was made by boys.
@@jewishparasite100 More like the guys just didn't give a shit. I've known many guys, including myself at times, who will do things just for the sake of doing them, results be damned. It's just how our brains work
Congrats to the girls! ...though James managed to confirm his nickname once more!!!
Well, at least he went down in style, right?
No way that’s my school (Skipton girls high) wow and we actually won something!!!
sick
That steering and layout was epic on thegils' cart
feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's go-kart time!
lol the girls had a pusher at all times and were only 1.1 seconds faster.
yeah. tell em to build one with an old 2 stroke and see how they get on.
George Pacey And thus it was called the Trabant...
1:34 look at that Camber LoL xD
2:49 When that adrenaline pumping upbeat music comes in!
Why am i hearing Jeremy screaming "speeeeedd and poowaaahh" there
That helmet is more expansive than that cart's price x 100.
Captain Slow lives up to his name.
Something a bout may racing against a. Inch of teenagers really is fun
best top gear episode ever
"I'll use the mass of my head as a pendulum" hahahahahaha!
the things James May has done for television.....
how the mighty have fallen. from maserati's to go-karts.
you know they have a new show right?
Lol something maybe we should do on our show!
Do it
No one cares about your show.
Wesley Johnson fuck off
I want a picture of may in the kart on my wall
I would like one on my desktop monitor....:)
Had to bargain for style points at the end 😂 very fair
i need definitely need a go-cart like his!!! XD
Noo not staged at all!
Come on James it needed POWER and SPEED
I don't know why but James made me smile
This has the same vibe as the "girls vs boys" meme
‘Children’ is a bit of an understatement, they’re more teenagers.
3:17 how has that not been made a meme yet. Gotta have may headbanging to metallica or something my dudes
I loved the music.
What year is this? James has no gray hair...perhaps his hair stylist is the same as Paul McCartney.
This is basically a simplified version of Soapbox Racing.
captain slow maintained his reputation once again
In a downhill race wouldn’t they have benefitted from a heavier cart?
No. If we assume the start speed is zero and the end height is zero: Classic mechanics state that the conservation of mechanical energy is mgh=1/2 mv^2
This can be simplified to v=sqrt(2gh)
V =speed and here we see that the masses cancel each other out.
If you are considering air drag yes it would have a lower impact but the friction from the wheels and steering would slow it down more with increased mass.
Yes! The course was down hill so more mass means more potential energy.
The girls definitely enjoyed the cattle grid XD
It’s nice to see you didn’t wreak them, just wore them in a little. Go - Karting.
The girls cart said skipton girls high school! I live opposite that school and I know the headteacher!
Captain slow, living up to his name
Reminds me of the soapbox races
I made a go kart out of 40's baby carriage wheels, two planks of wood, a trash can, and an apple crate lol i still have it
Introducing the Caterham 1.
James Lost.. Because He Was Too Fat.. As Jeremy Would Say.. He's Captain Slow!
He's vertically tall.
Johnny Weissmuller- Yes, that would be tall.
Children lmao teenagers 😂😂😂
James go kart is like a old rolls royce huh hahahahahaha
New season of grand tour look lit
“Dunaaaaaa”
damn that's a really bumpy test track...
I like how he is the size of the kids
Soo excuisite to watch this 👏🏻😄
those guy's kart was basically a baby's trolley with bigger wheels lol
02:54 Deja Vu 😂👍
“You leaden-footed buffoons”
sad james dint yell POWAH! when he is swinging his head for the pendulum motion
Is it just me or does the girl one look like it wasn't made by kids? Seriously just look at the construction it just seems perfect...to perfect.
They really are well into their teenage years and their high school specailises in engineering.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipton_Girls%27_High_School
To me this looks like a state school (girls) team vs a public school (boys) team?
James may semm like that uncle.. Who is always serious.. But when you talk to him intellectual
3:16 May headbutting air
what speed you got in the box car 😂
He really is Captain Slow
That's not a go kart. Go karts have engines. That's a Push kart.
James May Vs Goget a propa job
not so top gear
its still better than chris evans attempt @top gear
This was a fun skit...
It isn't its james may top toys
Well he is the captain slow, what else the girls expected?
Captain kart
is this top gear?
No it's a different program.
the name of the show is literally in the title..
no, it's Grand Tour
zestea i know it was a joke
Kyle Demoderpifnlikskin yes
They're not go-karts, they're bogies
the girls one because the steering is like using a shopping trolley so they are obviously gunna win
He looks goofy in that kart
Cute girls 😍🤗
Go-Kart in USA have motors; Also James May has googles and don't use them-Lol.
TuthHurts911411 Those aren't go karts.
If this was Hammond, he would have crashed it in the chicane.
No wonder why he is called Captain Slow.
James's kart is very very pretty.
still needed a stereo
I would like to own a Bentley cart😂
this makes me think of the Audi Superbowl commercial
Those are soapbox racers, go karts have motors.
