It seems we need a recount! Will cheated in the last community post, so we'll have another in a few days. Doesn't seem fair that the worst handbrake turner should win 😂
This is hilarious. These kind of challenges are a testament to "You have more fun in a slow car going fast than a fast car going slow". Laughs all around and nothing but fun.
There is actual beginner rallies where you can't use a car worth more than 1000 euros. theyre rally cross most of the time but sometimes they have actual stages.
I think a great episode / series idea would be to have Callum and Will go off to a professional driving school for a week or two. Scott always seems to win these challenges based on his raw driving skill and experience, but I would love to see a video where the other two go learn as much as they can and compete head-to-head against Scott. Would be interesting to see how much they improve!
He usually gets nerf'd is some way with random or slower cars, etc to make it interesting. In this one the light and slow car worked really well over dirt, and fwd is quite good also.
"We only had £200 to spend on rally mods but all of us decided to spend the majority of our budget on rally lights" Less than 30 seconds in and I'm already reminded of why I love this channel so much!
I had a Sportka for a couple of years and it was brilliant fun to drive around the twisty country lanes... I wish now that I had taken it to an off road track day place before I sold it!
I used to attend a few rally meets in Ireland years ago and KA's were always popular with beginners. Not surprised it beat the subaru on tight circuit like this.
I had a first gen Ka, practically identical to that (even same color) and came here to see how much better it was than the others. The little thing had plenty of torque and very good handling. The lateral G acceleration it could face was a selling point at the time.
Yeah little annoyed that in the video the question was which drift looked the best and they just asked which one looks the coolest, very different questions.
Well given it was an action shot in hindsight I would have voted for Scott. The astra looks the "best" as a photo but for pure action steeze it was the KA
I'm genuinely surprised that Callum was so bad 😂 given his experience of loose surfaces in mower racing, I thought there'd be some crossover! Hilarious video. Take them green laning next!!!
Absolutely LOVE this Video! My Mrs used to have a KA, I loved driving it, so much fun, could drive it full power all the time & never lose it like it was on rails...obviously very low power, but that increased the laughs
This is easily one of the best videos on the channel. Keep up the good work and do similar projects. Watching you guys race budget cars around this rally track or the real racing track is always hilarious.
Actually wouldn't it be insane to see these guys build 3 similar cars, like the KA or a micra on a small budget to race againts each other in every class possible?
I'm looking for a Ka to make into a track day car. Because they share a lot of parts as the Fiesta of the time, the engine from the Puma will fit. The suspension and brakes will too.
@@wigglesphere2910 will do as soon as it happens. I've seen a road car version in a car show in Dublin in the last. The 1.7 engine and the Puma gearbox are pretty bulletproof, but the bodies are water soluble, so there are a lot of drive trains available. Edit: The Ka is only marginally better at not melting, but better nonetheless. Lighter too.
Love that 2 of you chose cars that were convertables which wouldn’t be safest choice in a roll but then put some epic lap time in against the scooby. The ka was definitely a good choice in that circuit. Crashes were hilarious as they didn’t even look like a crash more like he just drove it off😂😂. Great entertainment guys
What a great episode! Got a good few genuine laughs out of me, I hope you guys have fun doing more of these! (Also love your cheap product reviews on the PT, don't forget about that nugget)
I loved my 2 Kas! Both lowered with beam spacers & mk5 RS2000 alloys! Brilliant chassis dynamics & epic lift off oversteer!! No power, but an absolute riot on the ragged edge!
Absolutely one of best videos you guys have done, was laughing all the way through and even the sponsor segment was good! Callum's slide definitely looked the coolest, and he was just getting his crashing practice in for the main event 🤣
You guys really need to get clarson, may, and hammond in one of your videos, this really gives that top gear feel except it's more realistic to something car people can actually do... well except the 10's of thousands on the f1 gear, but seriously keep up the good and fun work!, I wish I hadn't discovered this channel so early because I've already watched every video 🙈
In my country they still race in rallies with the KA in one of the smaller classes against Clios, Corsas, Etios, some VWs and Peugetos. They're all small and not powerful at all, but they're quite agile and look really fun.
I discovered your channel this weekend and have no idea how I didn't know about it sooner! Anyway, I've already had lots of laughs and have subscribed - keep up the good work!
well, the Ford ka was a rally car for the Carlos Sainz junior team, they were also used in Mexico in rookie rallies and it is positioned as a good option to start in them, So, I think we already know who has a chance of winning.
The MG beating the WRX really showed why the mid-engined RWD Lancias were competitive even after the advent of 4WD in rallying. They didn't remain competitive for long once the 4WD systems got better but still. The KA destroying everything shows how important a short wheelbase is too.
In Finland we Have Stock1000 Stock1600 and Stock2000 classes. On these classes you can drive with stock car, and can only change The suspension and of course safety Gear. I drove about 1500€ Paid Peugeot and it was still pretty fast.
I did hillclimbs and sprints for a few years in a Metro GTi 16v which cost me £800. 2nd hand rollcage, new helmet and racesuit cost around 5 or 600 and then a few quid spent on decent dampers and bolt on engine mods. All in was around £2k and it was unbelievable fun. Motorsport needn't be expensive
Ford Ka has nice handling, despite all the rest. In Brazil, it is a budget car for track days. Also, there's a rare version called KA XR which is a 1.6-liter version.
There was a Ford Ka, an affordable and compact car typically used for daily commutes. However, this particular Ford Ka, numbered 69, was unique. Its owner, Jack, had always harbored a dream of participating in a rally, and he decided to make that dream a reality. Despite the Ford Ka's reputation for being underpowered and slow, Jack was determined to enter it in the annual rally held in the UK. He knew it would be a tough challenge, but he was up for it. He spent countless hours modifying the car to make it rally-ready, upgrading the suspension, brakes, and tires. When the day of the rally arrived, Jack lined up at the starting line alongside other high-performance cars, his Ford Ka sporting the number 69. He knew his car wasn't the most impressive vehicle on the track, but he was confident that he could take on the challenge. As the rally began, Jack hit the accelerator, and the Ford Ka shot forward, its engine roaring with excitement. To everyone's surprise, the car proved to be surprisingly nimble, zipping through turns and handling the rough terrain with ease. As the race continued, the Ford Ka gained momentum, passing other competitors and keeping up with the more expensive and powerful vehicles. It was a classic underdog story, and the crowds cheered as the little car continued to exceed expectations with its speed and agility. At the end of the race, Jack crossed the finish line with a huge grin on his face, his Ford Ka proudly displaying the number 69. He had fulfilled his dream of participating in a rally, and the cheap Ford Ka had surpassed all expectations. He may not have won the race, but he had won over the hearts of the crowd, who had witnessed the remarkable performance of the little car that could. From that day on, the Ford Ka with number 69 became a symbol of perseverance and determination, proving that sometimes, the smallest and most affordable things can achieve great things. Jack was already planning for his next rally, eager to push the limits of what his beloved Ford Ka could do.
When i was a kid my neighbor's dad bought a 79 civic that the previous owner used for road rallys. One day while we were driving he figured rally driving = off roading so he tried to take it and us on an ATV trail in the woods. We didn't get far but everyone survived except for the exhaust system
Loving the content here as always. Though feel free to make them longer! This one felt a tad bit rushed with the editing, and I think it would be even better if it was a 20 - 25 minute video, or even a two parter.

What, did he use a bot or something?
I think the question was poorly asked it said who is the coolest not who drift better and was only image
Good stuff, I too voted for the most attractive car, Scott definitely had the best slides
Lmao
Yeah, I voted for my favorite looking car. Didn’t know it was an action shot.
This is hilarious. These kind of challenges are a testament to "You have more fun in a slow car going fast than a fast car going slow". Laughs all around and nothing but fun.
"All the fun, at half the speed."
There is actual beginner rallies where you can't use a car worth more than 1000 euros. theyre rally cross most of the time but sometimes they have actual stages.
@@jaskajokunen3716 I basically dream of this, maybe when the kids grow up lol
I’ve always wondered what budget rallying is like, turns out it’s just rally lights.
dude this is weird
And suspension blocks!
and mudflaps.
And a fartcan so it really sounds.....fast?
Budget rallying quickly turns into a 10k endeavour
Callum is truly channeling the richard hammond driving style, crashing in a ditch on the first lap.
he said may line
I think a great episode / series idea would be to have Callum and Will go off to a professional driving school for a week or two.

Also, you won’t get near to Scott’s level overnight. James May was still the slowest even after being coached by sir Jackie
I was genuinely coming to the comments to suggest this exact thing
Still don’t think they’ll be close to him it takes way more than two weeks to become that fast. But yes they will probably improve.
YES! I love this idea.
like, I wouldn't want it to be too sweaty/try-hard, but it would be cool to see their progress and whatnot.
"We only had £200 to spend on rally mods but all of us decided to spend the majority of our budget on rally lights"

That KA looked insanely fun, way more playful than I would have expected from it
I had a Sportka for a couple of years and it was brilliant fun to drive around the twisty country lanes... I wish now that I had taken it to an off road track day place before I sold it!
Its not as bad as people say it is, sure it's no focus, but at least it's not a tesla
I used to attend a few rally meets in Ireland years ago and KA's were always popular with beginners. Not surprised it beat the subaru on tight circuit like this.

I had a first gen Ka, practically identical to that (even same color) and came here to see how much better it was than the others. The little thing had plenty of torque and very good handling. The lateral G acceleration it could face was a selling point at the time.
I also voted the Astra but the question was which one looks the best, not which drift was the best. In which case Scott probably would have won.
Yeah little annoyed that in the video the question was which drift looked the best and they just asked which one looks the coolest, very different questions.
I’ll be honest i didn’t even notice they were in motion. I thought it was still shot lol
@@axelramirez7337says something about all 3 of them, doesn't it?

You need to make 40 min specials. This gives me 00s TG vibes!
i would savor every minute of a 40-minute special
Other than car trek, this is another example of great too gear parody
The Ka is secretly a good rally car. McRae used is as the basis for his own idea of a spec car rally series.
Well given it was an action shot in hindsight I would have voted for Scott. The astra looks the "best" as a photo but for pure action steeze it was the KA
The Ka is a brilliant example of cheap fun and lightweight cars, shame there aren’t more like it built today
The name Overdrive really was on Callum's DNA 🗿🤣
Very good. Very good! Callum

you guys make some of the best car content in the scene without having to be cringe, keep up the great work!
watching scott flying in that KA, bloody brilliant mate!
KA weight just like nothing, 70hp and one ton roughly
@@TomRxtroWav397 way less than a ton, an MG ZR weighs about 1000kg and i dont see that ka weighing as much as a ZR
easy 180kg of difference between KA and mg
This is pure top gear, the way Callum crashes in the background is pure Richard Hammond 😂😂😂
Poor man's Top Gear.

I've seen some people on youtube using the Ka XR on track days, it's a sporty version of the KA. But I think it was only sold here in South America

I wish these episodes went a little longer. Even if it's just talking to camera telling us what your going to do this episode.
The ka is a fantastic handling car considering how cheaply it is made! It’s just so much fun to drive.
gotta love small Fords! brilliant little cars, pure fun to drive.
for me by far the most fun and most car you get for your money
The Ka is a very GOOD and FUN car!
I didn't know about this channel a year ago, but as a new TDC fan, I've gone back to binge this old content, it's still great!
Glad you like it! We lost a small fortune making it, but it's good stuff. Enjoy!
You guys are producing some of the best content on UA-cam! Every episode is fantastic so a big thanks to everyone involved!
Love your promotional add, having the solar panels in the shade 😎
What a great episode! Got a good few genuine laughs out of me, I hope you guys have fun doing more of these! (Also love your cheap product reviews on the PT, don't forget about that nugget)
Here's to Callum having to drive the PT cruiser on the next challenge.😁
I loved my 2 Kas! Both lowered with beam spacers & mk5 RS2000 alloys! Brilliant chassis dynamics & epic lift off oversteer!! No power, but an absolute riot on the ragged edge!
5:53 “That’s the fastest convertible rally car in the world.”
Can’t say anyone else has said that sentence before.
in fact some people use mx5 in rally for real, and few without hardtop x)
@@Junecakie that can’t be safe 💀
Hmmm the Peugeot 307 WRC was the CC which was the converible so someone must have said it before now
They slowly becoming The Holy Trinity of Top Gear
That little Ka makes for one hell of a project car (for fun, nothing crazy). Such a great platform.
Ka:
Not many mile per hour, but lots of smiles per hour
Real top gear vibes to this. This series is going places
funny that the KA, the least sportiest car of the three, ended up doing the fastest lap
Tbf the power to weight is probably decent and having a rwd short wheel base MG isn't great if you're not experienced on dirt
KA really proves you can have fun with any car if you set it up right and send it.
Absolutely one of best videos you guys have done, was laughing all the way through and even the sponsor segment was good!
Callum's slide definitely looked the coolest, and he was just getting his crashing practice in for the main event 🤣
Will: "That felt unbelievable!"
Scott: "I'm worried about your missus..."
LOL
Always love the content you guys make, takes me and a lot of other people to some good ol' top gear days, but with your own unique twist. keep it up!
Who needs Group B when you have OVERDRIVE!

Petition for Scott to turn the KA into a true rally car? It's a roof setup of the rally lights would look sick
now THIS is the content I want! get more cars off-road please!

Glad y'all finally did some rally. Also the cleverness of the name change isn't lost on me, Overdrive is what comes after your Top Gear.

Curious how nobody could be bothered with buying Rallye tires... Even used ones would have made all the difference.
These three are the best new version of new top gear! Would love to see a full series of this type of stuff!
MORE RALLY STUFF!!!! That was so much fun to watch lol cheers lads!
That AnuSol livery ranks #1 in my book

Ford has made some genuine FWD hero's over the years. It's deceptive how good the Ka, Fiesta and Focus were of those generations.

Loving the content here as always. Though feel free to make them longer! This one felt a tad bit rushed with the editing, and I think it would be even better if it was a 20 - 25 minute video, or even a two parter.
I like how they thought Scott had the trash car but ended up getting their asses kicked in everything 😂
Great content, had a lot of smiles watching it. Thanks
I really enjoyed this! Do something similar, but put the fastest driver in the slowest car!
There's a reason why Kas are used for Britain's cheapest endurance racing series :)
Im not gonna lie.
That was a seamless and beautiful ad placement
Awh Lads! That was a brilliant episode!
Ford KA is a beast. Even on tarmac it is hard NOT to drift. I had the pleasure of driving it fora meal on wheels service for a few months.
