Like the 1 giving penalties because they chose to race on a street and theyre street malfunctioned ruining a car that the driver and team had nothing to do with?
Was a pleasure to race alongside you Thorn, I hope we get to do battle many more times! I can’t say enough good things about GLTC. Never in any racing do you see so many drivers leaving the track with gigantic grins across their face no matter where they finished, and you guys really captured the emotions and happenings perfectly. If you’re reading this and have the ability to participate, do it - seriously it’s the most fun you’ll ever have.
Absolutely, GLTC is rapidly shaping up to be one of the most interesting/exciting/downright fun divisions in all of Motorsport. The approachability, fun racing, and massive field make it a joy to watch as a fan and also to (hopefully) participate in the next (or one after) seasons if I can get the finances required to field a car properly. Fine driving out there!
This is one of, if not the best episode of Gears and Gasoline. Even without the last race dramatics you guys made racing content that is fun, exciting to watch. Great jobs Bens, big things coming for 2024!
While the loss was heartbreaking, the best part of that video was watching Thorn slowly come to the realization that he can hang right with the guys at the top and he deserves to be there.
Far and away the best car content on UA-cam. As an editor, I'm shocked at how well this episode was edited. The pacing is perfect, music hits the notes perfectly. You guys are killing it. And now I want to build a competitive Gridlife car.
"P1 in 4 events" Ben you're a fantastic driver! So hyped watching you climb so fast. Be proud and keep your chin up. You're just starting to heat up ! S/O Lin for being a real one and hugging the homie when he needed it.
Thorn, I know I'm just a guy behind a computer screen, in front of a keyboard, in the youtube comments section, but I cannot overstate how proud I felt watching your performance in race #4. I've been watching gears and gasoline avidly for 5 or so years now, but watching you grow into the GLTC driver that you are has been what hooked me into the gears and gasoline channel. As absolutely heart wrenching as that mechanical failure was, I hope you feel proud of what you've accomplished this season. Going from back of the pack to nearly snagging a podium within one season is a REMARKABLE feat. I can't wait to see you transform from budding grassroots driver to GLTC champion, and I have no doubts that you're going to achieve great things. Much love and I can't wait to follow you both along these next chapters of your story
12:05am here in Australia... And yet I will never stop waiting up late to watch your episodes when they release Edit: Literal goosebumps on that final race. Fantastic driving
GLTC is one of the best curated and sanctioned events in motorsports. I hope to see it continue to grow and attract talented homegrown drivers and builders. This is proper racing. Not overly limited in the scope what you can bring, but rather how much you can get out of a certain P/W by choosing for more power/tire or more aero as you see fit. I love it.
Hearing Thorn say "NO, NOOOO" as he drops positions on the last lap after leading the entire race... No exaggeration, I'm actually crying. Keep fighting bro, I know youll get another chance!
I dont think ive ever been more emotionally invested in a video. I genuinely have goosebumps. No matter whether youve raced or not, everyones had that feeling of doing their best, getting ahead, and then something outside of your control pulls you back. Now its up to you to crawl back up. Amazing video.
Almost got me crying haha, can't imagine how it felt to you in the car. Wonderful video, and kind of inspiring I must say. I will count this as if you finished at 1st place.
Oh my god, that broke my heart! UGH! GUTTED. Welcome to racing. You kept an amazing attitude, though. Not many people could take that like you did. BRAVO! Now I gotta find the other races.
Absolutely incredible race and Kudos to the camera crew for making us feel like we were part of that whole event🥵, keep it up Gears&Gasoline🍻 tuned in all the way from South Africa🌍
The amount of true happiness that is felt by the Gears and Gasoline crew is heart warming. If you're lucky enough to have a supportive friend group like this, consider yourself blessed. Great stuff guys!
Ben congrats. This is so heartbreaking. Still, you did an awesome, almost impeccable job. It sucks that all these problems come out always at the worst time, though I am sure you are going to become the greatest of all time.
i swear i nearly cried for you Thornie! all the way from australia here you are really making me want to delete the turbo off my ek kswap and build an N/A monster
I’ve been watching you guys for years. Since your first Alaska trip! I’ve Watched every video I could as soon as it was released. I was there when you did the civic and mx5 challenge video and watched you and the civic grow from there. I really felt this loss. All that work all that effort accumulated into one moment that was so cruelly taken away from you. But you have proved that you have winning in you and the car! This won’t be your last opportunity many many more will come and I and many other people will be here to watch that story unfold. What a fantastic drive
I am praying for you both to have ONE weekend where your cars perform and there aren't any mechanical faults. It hurt so much to hear the shouting in the Civic during the last lap.
I remember when you and Lin just drive off with weird car choices for a road trip. Now you're actually getting up there with real talents, what a development for you and Ben Lin mann, have my support :))
My heart broke on that last lap, You might not have technically won the race, But its clear the talent you have Ben, You have a very bright racing future ahead of you.
Been following the whole journey for years. Both Ben's have become amazing drivers. Love the car content, trust me your guys whole team just kills it. What I love seeing even more than the racing and cars is simply the bond of friendship you have with your friends. You guys are surrounded with loyalty. Love it
This episode made me cry. You showed them your talent, Ben. Asian Ben is right, thats not your 1 chance. You’ll get another soon and next time, you’ll definitely get that W!!!
Driving an active project like the MR-S makes it so much harder to even focus on refining your driving. Leguna Seca really brought out some crazy moments. Was awesome meeting you Ben, and seeing the MR2 in person!
Been watching you guys for years. I wish Long could have ended the season on track, but seeing Thorn on Pole at Laguna, brings tears to my eyes. So proud of the two of you guys! Congratulations to the team!
I seriously cannot wait for when Lin gets his car all together so he can finally drive confidently and consistently. I believe that’s the issue with Lin right now, I don’t think it’s a car problem. But no matter what, I love seeing Lin race in the MRS
@@JonHop1I mean. Okay yeah, but I also think that the constant loses and poor performance from Lin has him at a mental block. Do you remember Romain grosjean in f1 when he lost all the time but right when got a lucky break his confidence shot through the roof and so did his overall performance? I think that’s what Lin needs. And a working engine😅
@ImMcRingo it's both. He's frustrated because his car has so many problems. And a lot of that is on him trying to be different and go outside the box so far. Mr2 Spyder not a great course chassis(unless u have unlimited funds).. And the engine selection was risky. No one uses it for racing like that, which is why they are chasing so many issues and it's down on power.
Genuinely my favorite channel. Watching the ups and downs of racing and developing a car is so relatable. It has been great motivation as I fight with issues with my own car and inspired me to keep pushing to get it out on the track ❤
One of the best, if not the best video by far from you guys! That last lap gave me flashbacks to the LMP1 Toyota at LeMans when they broke down on the last lap. Absolutely devistating and heart-wrenching but just keep your head up (both Thorn and Lin) and know that your time will come to stand on the podium! Aloha! 🤙
Ben you may not have won the race but you won our hearts we have followed you from the start though your ups an downs your a winner no matter the place you finish
Mannn. You took that with such grace. Really shows the quality of character. That way you handled that earned more respect from me than a P1 ever would. Onwards and upwards! You’ll get it
Out of all the videos that you guys have posted on the passion of cars and racing this one moved me the most. So happy for the Thorn and I can’t wait too see what Lin does to his build. Keep pushing the both of you.
First and foremost Ben congratulations, you killed it. It was amazing driving on your part and so much fun to watch. You guys know how to make a race fun to watch. Keep up the great work, can't wait for next race.
Gutted for Ben! I was on the edge of my seat that last race! That win will come! I have loved following Mia and Ben from a cheap road-trip car to leading at Laguna Seca!
I watched the last race of that weekend on the edge of my couch, just cheering you on for the win. To have it end that way was cruel. I was gutted and it threw my day off a bit tbh. The editing with the live commentary was great, but as always my favorite part is the team and the unwavering support for each other. The win is coming in 2024 and I'll be right here with a front row seat. Keep it up team G&G!
Wow, my eyes were full of water. I know the feeling all to well. Excellent drive Thorn. Wishing LIN the best with the MR2, development coming along soon get by the teething pains.
It’s so awesome to see you guys grow. Been following and watching since ‘16! and one of the reasons why I bought my car when you guys did a segment with Devin’s yellow ST. Met Thorn in one of the Gridlife events in ACC couple years back. Solid dude! Take care and thank you for having an influence for Motorsport!
Way to go brother , I remember you started with that blue Old Ford and look at you now , both Bens you making progress and especially Thornn that have come to set the car pretty good , you going places dude !! Keep going on !
I absolutely feel for all of the team here. Not just the Ben’s, but mechanics, support staff and to editors and team that help the channel. This captured so well the emotions of racing as you progress in skill and start to face the roulette wheel the lady luck that spins against you.
Thorn - you were leading comfortably for a bit there! You have the pace my man! Lin - youre getting the car dialed in more and more every time. Last 3 before, made up a bunch of places since then. You're improving every time and the car is a lot closer to showing a real competitive edge! Absolute bro at the end too. I love this series, its great racing
Man love the content gears and gasoline is producing. I am fully invested with Lynn's progress and struggles. Really hoping things can be ironed out with the mr2
I was literally on the edge of my seat. This video totally played with my emotions and it was fun! Totally gutted,Thorn. It probably wasn't meant to be but your day will come. Well done both of you and the rest of the G&G team!
Wow! You guys are living the dream!!! So cool! That shot looking backwards at the start of the last race, you could just feel the intensity and the pressure!!! So gutting how it ended because of a stupid little retaining clip!!! Can't wait to see the revenge journey arc!!!
Through years of great and hard work you guys have made it, you guys now are rsce drivers on a regular! I'm immensely proud of growing up with you guys through the years all the way since Ben's little garage and the blue Ford
Awesome cars, drivers, filming, editing, story telling. Felt the love of the whole team. Heart broken for that mfint clip. You'll get there eventually!
That was painful and yet you fought until the very end Ben. Be proud and the next race will for sure be a podium. I wish the evo is here to race as well...
My heart broke. That was a win in every sense of the word. Mechanical failures are devastating when superb runs like this happen. Good on you, Ben. You have the skill, heart and car to compete at the front of GLTC. Congrats on the progress. Kudos.
I haven’t screamed at my television the entirety of my life watching F1 the way I started screaming when Thorn couldn’t get into (4th?) gear. I’ve been watching Gears and Gasoline for years and years, and I’ve never been so proud of both Ben’s, and never felt so much empathy for a video. One way or the other… y’all are just killing it. But I do wanna see the Laguna Seca comeback next year ❤
12:41 idk if this downshift was different than normal, but you spent a lot of time with the clutch in. The faster you get that thing in and out the better because you want that engine braking back asap. Good blip tho. And idk if you’ve been taught about tapping the brake on the straight to set the pads but it really does help a lot with consistency. I’m impressed at both of your commitment and want to see you both fight at the front!
Nice job Ben Th. It was a gut wrencher watching it turn from top of the world to a tragedy. I was already typing the congrats in the comments just before the last lap and then discarded it. I actually think it’s a better story and does create the suspense with the audience for next season.
I had watched the last race live and was absolutely amazed at how well you led that race Ben! You have progressed so much as a driver over the season. I was heartbroken when I saw it start to slip away from you and I knew it had to be something mechanical. Regardless of the outcome, you raced amazingly and have proven that you are an amazing and talented driver, keep it up! Can't wait to see what both of you can do next season!
Great drive. Been there man, having a mechanical on the last lap when you're flying. I'm glad it wasn't something catastrophic like an a transmission blowing 3rd or 4th gear. You'll get em next time!
Ahh the hype, the music the camera work and angles. The sun setting on the course. A perfect video, can feel both of the Ben's joy & painful moments. I cannot wait to see the next one.
Insane race! and an insane ending... i have never been so entertained watching a race like this! keep going and that 1st place position will surely be yours!!!
The Civic, and importantly you, showed great pace. You were in the top running all weekend. You learned things about you, and the car, and will undoubtly come back to the next event with high finishes. Keep your head up!
Man this had my blood pumping OMG ben i feel for you man but you definitely showed you have the talent to hang at the top!!!! This channel has mad me love racing
Keep your heads up Ben & Ben! You got all 1 million of us subscribers cheering for you both. A new day will come and first place is calling both your names
Man - that was awesome, unfortunately ended like a weird movie. Don't want to drop any spoilers, but really-really hope they can get our the Yota. Would love to see both of them hit that top 5/10.
Amazing driving Thorn! It’s amazing to see this car going from a mid pack car to a front pack car it’s such an impressive improvement. Lin it’s great to see how much your car has improved even if you’re still stuck at the back of the pack it’s great that both of you are improving and I can’t wait to see how far both of you come over time 😊
I think I never felt so much involved in a race I'm simply watching... This is really hard you was deserving it so much! Keeps pushing you could do it!
This was such an amazing episode and editing. The buildup through the entire season leading to such an emotional ending was incredible--shout out to the whole team for all the great work you guys do and letting the rest of us join the ride.
Ben, no matter the outcome, you have proven your talent. Mad respect.
probably outgrowing the civic. maybe a faster FR car can make the races easier on him.
@@amrrahmy123 Maybe. But the car is definitely not bad. It has some more racing in it.
Totally agree, the other racers will be looking out for Ben in the future. I take that as a win.
@@amrrahmy123it also outgrow the GR86.
@@gataxis7737i also take this as a big W.
This is honestly better racing than most sanctioned series right now. Great stuff
Like the 1 giving penalties because they chose to race on a street and theyre street malfunctioned ruining a car that the driver and team had nothing to do with?
@@joeschmoe5009eeeyup lol. Fucking f1
100%
This channel has inspired me to purchase another track car. Who knows when I’ll finish it though 😂
Do you just watch F1 or something? Indy car is fucking intense
@@sarahdell4042 I'm in the same boat....it's been two years 😂

The fact that he has a best friend to comfort him made Thorn feel way better about the situation.
Tears and Gasoline maaaan
HA!! GAaaaaaaaaaAAAAyY!
Thorn knows how to make everything feel better.
This is one of, if not the best episode of Gears and Gasoline. Even without the last race dramatics you guys made racing content that is fun, exciting to watch. Great jobs Bens, big things coming for 2024!
100% amazing episode!
Only yt channel that has track day videos nailed down. Nobody is doing these interesting and fun videos
@@savejeff15DannyDC2
Totally agree!
Honestly that last lap felt like the final round of a boxing match in the creed movies. Music, the editing, it was all on point.
FR!
I love the inclusion of the official commentary and the clips. Amazing video as always
I was just thinking the same! It's added so much to the race feel of the episode. Fantastic!
While the loss was heartbreaking, the best part of that video was watching Thorn slowly come to the realization that he can hang right with the guys at the top and he deserves to be there.
Far and away the best car content on UA-cam. As an editor, I'm shocked at how well this episode was edited. The pacing is perfect, music hits the notes perfectly. You guys are killing it. And now I want to build a competitive Gridlife car.
Spot on!
You did amazing Ben, watched you and this civic go from a cool street car to a super insane race car and an amazing driver. Great job buddy !
Crazy to think this is the same car from the Alaska road trip. Doesn’t even seem real
@@cartastrophewhy? I thought this is real tho.
@@cartastrophe Alaska roadtrip?
"P1 in 4 events" Ben you're a fantastic driver! So hyped watching you climb so fast. Be proud and keep your chin up. You're just starting to heat up ! S/O Lin for being a real one and hugging the homie when he needed it.
The gears and gasoline video drops are the best part of my weekend mornings!
Thorn, I know I'm just a guy behind a computer screen, in front of a keyboard, in the youtube comments section, but I cannot overstate how proud I felt watching your performance in race #4. I've been watching gears and gasoline avidly for 5 or so years now, but watching you grow into the GLTC driver that you are has been what hooked me into the gears and gasoline channel.

Edit: Literal goosebumps on that final race. Fantastic driving
GLTC is one of the best curated and sanctioned events in motorsports. I hope to see it continue to grow and attract talented homegrown drivers and builders. This is proper racing. Not overly limited in the scope what you can bring, but rather how much you can get out of a certain P/W by choosing for more power/tire or more aero as you see fit. I love it.

Never forget that feeling on those first two laps, keep pushing in the future.
Thanks!
Hi, everybody! at 29:26 Ben Thorn forced me to adjust my screen, put on headphones and concentrate on race 4 as it was getting so intriguing.
Absolutely insane racing, cinematography, editing, and soundtrack. Always such a joy to get to watch a G&G video. Thank you guys!
The G&G logo in the Digital Cluster is sick!! Loved it 😍🔥

Great job Ben! I really love how you've handled the situation after the race.
It feels sad to watch the Toyota not having the pace

But I do wanna see the Laguna Seca comeback next year ❤
Hey that’s me at 9:49. It was great seeing you guys out on the west coast
12:41 idk if this downshift was different than normal, but you spent a lot of time with the clutch in. The faster you get that thing in and out the better because you want that engine braking back asap. Good blip tho. And idk if you’ve been taught about tapping the brake on the straight to set the pads but it really does help a lot with consistency. I’m impressed at both of your commitment and want to see you both fight at the front!
Nice job Ben Th. It was a gut wrencher watching it turn from top of the world to a tragedy. I was already typing the congrats in the comments just before the last lap and then discarded it. I actually think it’s a better story and does create the suspense with the audience for next season.
I had watched the last race live and was absolutely amazed at how well you led that race Ben! You have progressed so much as a driver over the season. I was heartbroken when I saw it start to slip away from you and I knew it had to be something mechanical. Regardless of the outcome, you raced amazingly and have proven that you are an amazing and talented driver, keep it up! Can't wait to see what both of you can do next season!
Great drive. Been there man, having a mechanical on the last lap when you're flying. I'm glad it wasn't something catastrophic like an a transmission blowing 3rd or 4th gear. You'll get em next time!
It was a greate race even your car went wrong! This is the race straggle...Never give up on it! Love your challenge from Japan :)
Ahh the hype, the music the camera work and angles. The sun setting on the course. A perfect video, can feel both of the Ben's joy & painful moments. I cannot wait to see the next one.
Yeah this is my favorite video yall have done. Just incredible footage, editing, and most of all, driving. You guys are living the dream.
Insane race! and an insane ending... i have never been so entertained watching a race like this! keep going and that 1st place position will surely be yours!!!
Ben, I was rooting for you! Bummer about the damage. See you with a win next season!,🎉🎉❤
The Civic, and importantly you, showed great pace. You were in the top running all weekend. You learned things about you, and the car, and will undoubtly come back to the next event with high finishes. Keep your head up!
Man this had my blood pumping OMG ben i feel for you man but you definitely showed you have the talent to hang at the top!!!! This channel has mad me love racing
Great showing out there guys. Both cars are looking great.
OMG - you had me at the edge of my seat the whole video! Great video and awesome driving. What an inspiration!!!
Keep your heads up Ben & Ben! You got all 1 million of us subscribers cheering for you both. A new day will come and first place is calling both your names
Man - that was awesome, unfortunately ended like a weird movie. Don't want to drop any spoilers, but really-really hope they can get our the Yota. Would love to see both of them hit that top 5/10.
The entire video is full of emotions and dramas. That's what we all experience on the sprint event. Really love the GLTC episodes.
Amazing driving Thorn! It’s amazing to see this car going from a mid pack car to a front pack car it’s such an impressive improvement. Lin it’s great to see how much your car has improved even if you’re still stuck at the back of the pack it’s great that both of you are improving and I can’t wait to see how far both of you come over time 😊
I think I never felt so much involved in a race I'm simply watching... This is really hard you was deserving it so much! Keeps pushing you could do it!
goosebumps towards the end man this race was fantastic, and you guys really know how to put it all together for a video, and awesome job thorn wow
This was such an amazing episode and editing. The buildup through the entire season leading to such an emotional ending was incredible--shout out to the whole team for all the great work you guys do and letting the rest of us join the ride.
Amazing effort. This channel is amazing. The quality and content second to none
