The gimmick of the flood aside, this track makes for legitimately good racing. It's mostly "normal" sections that reward conventional technical driving superiority, but the "traps" and offroad sections inject just the right amount of design compromises, chaos, and unpredictability to prevent any one driver or vehicle build from dominating.
Brazen accidentally creating an interesting RtF variant: Race the Floor, and THEN you King of the Hill at the end. So you have to not only survive the flood, but hope your vehicle can still fight in the end. Makes weight/power even MORE interesting for the ending potential!
It's basically one of the first things Amy and Joe ended up doing when prototyping the game mode, even ;) And you can always trust the king of lemon scented chaos to make things interesting
The wide tracking cinematic shot at 11:08 onwards with the flood coming up from below is fantastic, more camerawork like this if you wreck out early please 😅
I was thinking that might be a worthy challenge for the power monsters, but so far it seems to have been difficult getting even two cars halfway up the crater never mind all the way :D
Considering how much you have to slow down to make that covered bridge at the end, You should check to see if it's actually a shortcut or not. See how long it takes to go around vs go through. And You can't just start there, you have to start from a bit back so you approach it at speed.
Elimination races where crashing or having the timer expire on the track while the dead cars remain as obstacles on a dangerous track, who ever is last standing wins, dirty driving is encouraged! Would be super fun to watch
Hi, I watched the whole video, enjoyed it very much but forgot to like it. So I came back and left a like. Didn't watch the whole thing again though.. I am not sure if the sum of all actions is now actually positive or negative for the algorithm in terms of watch time, so I am writing this very comment to improve the viewer engagement xD Alle the best, keep up the racing!
What I would love to see is a marathon edition on the race the flood format. Yk what's coming up when I say 'marathon': full distance from the bottom to the top on the crater. Maybe one run less for the vid and a lot more focus on easy to drive cars (or the guys with the 'yolo' cars who are gonna crash quickly but get far ahead before doing so xD)
You should really make a racing series with regulations on what kind of vehicle you are allowed to build. That would be interesting. One example in short: - Maximum power-to-weight ratio of 300hp/1000kg, maximum of 5 liters of fuel included. - All driving aids (ABS, ESP, etc.) must be disabled - No four wheel drive cars, but you are allowed to convert a FWD car into RWD if possible. - No nitrous or other similar boost systems - Maximum tire width of 255 mm (10")
Sounds oddly like what Joe's going for with the Halfshafts car build challenge ... though Alex is no stranger to that kind of thing with Automation car competitions and such in the past. It's a good formula really - limitations breed creativity.
The bastion is a trade mark last vehicle race at this point. We're all expecting it whenever he does the last race, so seeing it before that would be weird.
how about switching the map some video ? i would really like to see these races on some other maps like Italy for example really enjoy this series btw. :D
Oh hey... you must be new here, right? Pro gamer tip: don't do that. If for no better reason than it's factually incorrect anyway, on two counts: "Their" can be used in the singular and still be grammatically valid, and SpeedBeast is a swarm of horrors beyond the comprehension of mankind... pretending to be a very fast but still inhuman animal.
@@Guilherme-br3dh Ah, shame. Guess you can't fix stupid. First time I'd personally seen it come up though. But if he/they/whatever is going to be committed to fighting a solo mission against a community of thousands with a stated inclusive ethos, what you gonna do? Anyway I'll try to remember if the same happens again from the same source, but no promises as my memory's crap. And I'm leaving my existing reply, in case someone else needs to see it for one or other reason, and because somebody may eventually appreciate the Speedbeast joke ;)
could someone make a mod thats like a Fixed camerra track that runs parallel to the course, so you could set your camerra on its and watch the group while yo dont have to worry as mucha bout all 3 dimensional trave? Like a massive Camera dolly that runs parallel to the course, but allows for camera movement of looking perpendicualr to the track, but can be moved "along" the dolly with just some simple keys so that being commentating races is easeir?
Beam is usually filming crew only and limited in numbers involved due to stability and computer issues. Done members of the community may host events in Beam that you can join.
WOLOLO (this video started life as a livestream but the races were good enough that both Alex and Amy turned them into discrete videos ... so some stray donation sounds snuck in, as they get played on the same logical channel as the game audio on Alex's PC, even though the stream chat is on a different one and thus now absent, replaced by the rerecorded commentary)
@@5thearth And it can be a bit of a pain for that even during the streams. Think it might not be able to encode as efficiently on the fly as when there's extra processing time available so that issue may hang over for a bit until it's properly replaced. However unless it was cut together in Studio (unlikely because of multiple soundtracks?), this should have appeared to the system the same as any other uploaded-in-full video and I would expect Alex probably encodes his videos in the format YT expects for HD stuff so it can put it straight into use... so if anything the lower quality ones should have taken longer to appear? Weird.

Alex - "There's a pothole coming up here"
Proceeds to pass a small crater spanning nearly 3/4 of the road's width.
🤣
He's British. Trust me, it's normal.

Looks mega funnnnn !!! If you ever need another car in there I’m so down !!
That would be awesome
Yesss a Slap x FailRace collab that would be super cool
You need to do more collabs Slap man
I am rediscovering both of y’all’s channels after a couple years but man, this is a collab even I can say we need
yesss 100%!!

Race the Fire and Sulphur next? 😅
It really doesn't

King of the Hill always happens.
Race the Floor 😂
@@michaeledmunds7056 We can probably think of at least a couple ways that could also be made a reality
Alex: Overtakes everyone
Also Alex: "That's a lot of cars behind us"

the more I do of these, the less I trust the sea
lol
You should never have trusted it in the first place.
You trusted it anyway?
Says the dutch
Y'all should do a race where each vehicle have to be towing something behind it.
Race the flood: caravaneer edition
fantastic series and genuinely enjoy the stream and then the final product
I am loving the BeamNG content!
6:23 Impega started ASCENDING
Indeed, love the slow ascension, ha!
I feel like a multi class race would be super entertaining
The Vertex is one of if not the best mod in Beam!
This is a game I would actually like to watch as an e-sport.
Thanks boys/gals for the brilliant entertainment. I owe you all for an enjoyable and relaxing evening😁
One of these where you have to pick a car at the start and upgrade it through the following races would be a cool twist!
Love the donation sound in the background
Watched the stream and wondered if he’d edit them out 😂
You should do I trophy truck race at the trophy truck track on West Coast USA, I always wanted to do that but no one I know plays BeamNG lol
Don't tell the FIA you are racing the flood or they might get some silly ideas about this coming weekend in Italy...
What about an endurance race all the way from the bottom to the top?
I was thinking that might be a worthy challenge for the power monsters, but so far it seems to have been difficult getting even two cars halfway up the crater never mind all the way :D

the birdseyeview of the two remaiining cars racing the flood was epic, coulda been in an apocalypse movie
Perhaps not the most fortuitously timed FailRace release, considering events this week in Italy ...
Still, great video! :D
Elimination races where crashing or having the timer expire on the track while the dead cars remain as obstacles on a dangerous track, who ever is last standing wins, dirty driving is encouraged!
Would be super fun to watch
i think 9:30 to end of that race is some of the best content ive enjoyed on your channel there fail race.
Being a LongBow_X fan is like being a Ferrari fan. But today I stand corrected❤️
💚

Alle the best, keep up the racing!
The first race was epic!
I like how tou can hear the stream donations in the background occasionally.
I don't know if a rear view mirror / camera UI mod exists, but it would be really good for a challenge like this. Especially for the viewers
Longbow: if I can’t win in a Bolide, no one can /s
100% correct
Once again, like Ryan Reynolds, making me extremely wary of Canadians. Some say they've never been seen in the same room together.
Congrats to Laddo for winning all the races~!
This is exactly what needs to happen at the end of Fast X
Watched the stream as well great content like always
Best first race so far! In fact each race was uniquely good in its own regard. Bravo! One of my favorites.
just race all the way to the top already :D
one of the best series' on UA-cam

Should do one where you race from the bottom all the way to the top.
Race the flood is my favourite, always so exciting!!! Love it❤
I think it's fair to say the Bastion has overtaken the F620 as Alex signature car
Interesting conversion of livestream clips into a seemingly purpose-filmed video ... well, except for the rogue wololo's of course XD
Best series
Love you FailRace. Say hi to Apollo for me
I loved this stream!! I joined the chat during testing for round 2, I remember it took like 3 tries to get the intro right for round lol
Possibly my second favorite series, only behind STH.
Love this content, also do more of Flood the Race!

i do that at home with my friends
Would be fairly easy to code a program that randomizes this
@@squidwardo7074 Randomizes? The car or the regulations?
@@akisalmenaho8473 There's already a mod for the cars, so I assume the regs...

Strange that Alex didn't use the noisy Bastian during the 0.3 race
The bastion is a trade mark last vehicle race at this point. We're all expecting it whenever he does the last race, so seeing it before that would be weird.
how about switching the map some video ? i would really like to see these races on some other maps like Italy for example
really enjoy this series btw. :D
Theyve used other maps for RtF
yeah but wasnt that like 2 months ago
Longbow definitely calculated that 😭
Favorite racing series on ya channel bro lol
I could watch people race the flood for hours.
The Hill Climb car won a Hill Climb, no surprises there :p
Now race Semi trucks with trailers. If you lose your trailer you are disqualified.
Or you can do the pickup with the camper trailer.
I wish these videos had everyone in voicechat
Any chance for a discord?
Longbow got a first hand experience in Car-ma 😂
Love the 0.6!!!!
Keep on running!
The depo entrepreneurs and building contractors: Yes, let's put this depo at the absolute bottom of this asteroid crater or rock quarry.
I got an itch for some Kei cars atm and I was wondering if you'd do a race the flood with some Kei Cars!
This was awesome live
Im enjoying these
11:43 Longbow went a very Long way
Love these. Super fun!
"I don't think he wanted to hit me, it may have been the lag" - Yeah, sure, the lag... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Alex either became a goat or just has to visit a doctor... NOW!
Lovely video,, keep it up!
Video starts at 2:00
So here me out what about a King of The Hill series like you guys use to do in gta but in beam multi-player
How do you get the double decker car?
It's the Gavril Vertex mod
5:33
Wrecked *his* car. "Their" is plural and SpeedBeast is only one person.

We just need some 1.0 power to weight ratios
Is this the Emilia Romagna circuit ?
@15:54 Nah, it is slow and steady loses the race. 😗
20:53 the hell was that audio? 👀
It was probably somebody subscribing during the recording. Alex must have forgotten to turn the subscriber sound off
Bro what is the noise at 1:36!!!😂😂
This was recorded during a live stream and that's the sound made for donations. Guess Alex didn't it couldn't turn donation sounds off.
POV Imola GP if it went ahead

Should have had 5 finishers in the first race.

You need a wheel man, even a cheap man, maybe even a controller. You can drive very good with keyboard regardless

surely u can hire a camera man to follow in specatator
