I beg that you make some videos on your unbelievable machine. Maybe talking about the build process/why you decided this was something you wanted to try and pull off? This is just one of the coolest and most insane creations i've ever seen
The conditions didn't help, the understeer was immense, but then you couldn't drive it quick enough to get any heat into the fronts because the boost would spin you off backwards so had to always mother it. It would be tricky doing a straight quarter mile never mind corners.
@@jordanfc8181Yeah that’s a problem the normal Atom faces although it’s perfectly quick enough. I do wish people modified the aero properly though. That would beautiful!
Gave him a sense of self importance by telling someone off AFTER they've already done something. Hahaha. Give him a pat on the back for such a job well done! 🤣🤣🤣
1000hp in an Atom is just insane!! Who looks at an Atom and thinks "Needs more power"? It looks so unassuming as well. Definitely love to see that thing on a track it can stretch it's legs on. The Stig getting told off for doing donuts is hilarious.
For example can ams had races in sunny desert having over 30 degrees heat and track surface being quite hot. It's totally different to drive on a cold tarmac in damp British isles. Way to go Stig!
Were Hammond behind the wheel of this thing instead of Ben, I'm sure we'd get at least one declaration of 'I AM A DRIVING GOD!!' before Hamster came to the scene of yet another accident.
Great collaboration! Mark looked absolutely terrified in that TukTuk, understandably so. Also like that you had time to look at Adams feet while driving that car, absolutely mad! Great fun!
Incredibly jealous of both those lucky chaps who got to joyride with the man, the myth, the legend, the Stig! The Ariel was just absolute insanity on 4 wheels, well at least part of the time on 4 anyway. Love the channel Ben, you have great content and guests.
I thought I recognised that little circuit ! One of my locals. 40 mins up the road from me. A tad small for the Atom to stretch its legs properly though! Thanks for sharing. 🚘👍🏻
That was by far and away the most entertaining video to date. I love cameos from other youtubers in videos. I reckon a youtuber budget endurance race should be in order like the enduro KA series or something? Imagine reprimanding the stig though....clearly didn't understand whose presence he was in ha😂
Some say he is the third member of the Daft Punk all we know is that you have conkers made of something unreal in throwing that beast about . your a legend as always
I know APE 50 back in the day. It looked similar to this tuk-tuk. But setting up all that new junk on it and giving it 100x the performance of an APE 50... is just ridiculously hilarious and insane.
The Tuk Tuk can be amazing fun. I work in Asia, where we have come out of work late in the evening after a long day and had our Tuk Tuk drives race each other to the restaurant with us in the back and with a fraction of the power you have here. You can imagine the fun where we are working like sidecar passengers transferring weight. You can imagine we are killing ourselves laughing before we get to the first cold beer. It's not even fast but it is super unstable especially as traffic is coming at you from all angles. It's not about reading the track of the road but what's moving around you, making a gap and changing direction on three wheels in an instant. It's a;sp about seckond guessing what you Tuk Tuk driver is about to do and what gap he is going for. PS, this message comes with a health warning! Watching you guys trying to peel yourselves out of the Tuk Tuk at the end of the drive was seriously funny.
This thing needs an LSD more than any vehicle ever created. A diff would just transform the cornering. Easy fix for an MX5 rear end. Crazy machine !!!!
that poor ariel atom. amazing build but its quite obvious it is not suited for such a track. I reckon the stock amount of power would have been faster on that day.
The Stig, Ben Collins who I hero- worshippe and admired since being a teenager and as of it wasn't enough rolling a Bedford van , getting into a CCX without a back wing , takes on a modified Tuk tuk and an Ariel Atom with a 1000hp ...rather you than me...😂😂😂 ..I thought the turbos on an F40 are bad enough when it comes on boost
Stig: Hoonigan Edition!!!!! This was fantastic to watch. Only you could get me to form the sentence “I think that Tuk-Tuk sounded better than that Ariel Atom!” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol I love the fact that you are using Mark McCann as a ballast boy love mark such a good guy hes new to the youtube game but his videos seem like he's been doing it for years . if you subscribe to anyone today Let It Be Mark McCann😊
with hayabusa engine you dont need to use clutch on upshift just prime the gear then lift off the throttle and straight back on without clutch and the gears will do its thing. it is a sequential gearbox without a auto cutout that makes it change while still on power, the tuck tuck does not have this device fitted to the bikes engine, most bikers add this device called a quick shifter which allows continuous on power gear shifts without having to lift off the throttle, you also can get auto blippers so you also dont have to use clutch on downshift but manually you can tap the throttle to do this without clutch.
Haha... This is class.! Well done, Ben Collins.! 😁 Most exiting 19 minutes 18 seconds ever. I was just waiting for mat Armstrong to come flying past on his bmx lol Definitely loved the Honda - 1000hp.! Wow.. Quality Ben
1:34... I REMEMBER THIS THANG!^^ It was on some show, like, 3 different dudes took it for a spin, they got into it with a Ford ST or sumn lol. That thing is WILD!! I get to see STIG DRIVE IT?! LET'S GO!! \O>
That ariel is effing insane. I dream to one day own an ariel in its stock configuration for its pure bad@$$ery. I imagine trying to drive this would be 0 to 60 to wall.
What a cracking video! Absolutely in stiches with you two in the tuktuk 😂 heard you over the tannoy at donington today selling your youtube stuff lol, you're an absolute legend tho love watching your vids i grew up watching top gear, loving the persona and the skills of the stig!
Would be fun to have the tuktuk sorted better for turning and with a limited slip so it could try and really make laps. And the Atom could do with a little smaller turbo. Would make less peak power, but would also be drive-able instead of just lag, wheel spin, and limiter.
Awesome video. I wonder, as a 55 year old novice in these things, if the tuk-tuk / Ape would have benefited with a bit of weight, in the bed, over the rear axle? Help keep the wheels planted.

Excellent driver, very friendly and conversational. I did not need to give any directions, very polite and experienced.
8/10
Cooler than a cucumber Adam, totally unfazed and clearly enjoying it. Ben, puckering slightly
You'd better find the other 2/10 before I see you
You mistyped 18/10 😂
you lads should hop down here to NZ, I have something that would give you RSI from checking the belts :)
Nothing better than seeing the man him self drive your car.. a true gentleman in person 👍🏼
I worry for you Rick get that turbo tweaked ;) great meeting you
I beg that you make some videos on your unbelievable machine. Maybe talking about the build process/why you decided this was something you wanted to try and pull off? This is just one of the coolest and most insane creations i've ever seen
That Atom is the epitome of ‘Your engineers were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should’. 😂
Someone managed to make an Ariel Atom less driveable than an Apé with a busa engine.. that deserves a medal
The conditions didn't help, the understeer was immense, but then you couldn't drive it quick enough to get any heat into the fronts because the boost would spin you off backwards so had to always mother it.
It would be tricky doing a straight quarter mile never mind corners.
It defiently needs some aero to help it.
@@jordanfc8181Yeah that’s a problem the normal Atom faces although it’s perfectly quick enough. I do wish people modified the aero properly though. That would beautiful!
More unhinged car videos please. That was a lot of fun to watch.
glad you enjoyed it - glad we survived - more to come!
Love seeing Ben and Misha in the same vid, it's like a crossover of your favourite cartoons as a kid ♥
lovely guy - more to follow there for sure
Gauge the speed by looking through the floor. Ha ha, love it!
Lads on Motor Addicts drove it a couple of months back, it's absolutely mental power
Telling Ben off for doing donuts.... lol.... I bet that would never happened at Dunsfold.
always getting in trouble
@@BenCollinsDrives Who told you off? Im sure it wasnt the owner of the car was it...... A track official?
@@BenCollinsDrives Maybe wear a white race suit and helmet next time. You know, to not draw attention.
@@Hells_Gate
Track official.
Gave him a sense of self importance by telling someone off AFTER they've already done something. Hahaha. Give him a pat on the back for such a job well done! 🤣🤣🤣
He is not the Stig, He is the Stig's Tuk tuk driving cousin! 😂

The sound of the wastegate on the atom :DDDDD Sounds like stomping a trucks pneumatic brake
Misha saying never again was hella funny! LMAO
For example can ams had races in sunny desert having over 30 degrees heat and track surface being quite hot. It's totally different to drive on a cold tarmac in damp British isles. Way to go Stig!
What a dangerous, irresponsible use of a utility vehicle. I'm unsubbing if I dont see more content like this.
No different than what top gear use to do 😂
He drove that much better than mat Armstrong's car! 🤷♂️💁♂️🤣🤣
@@Carl-op1gpRead the comment again.
Bye :)
@@iwanevans607 read my comment again 🤪
A vehicle so sketchy that I’d be scared even with the Stig at the wheel. Wouldn’t even trust the door to stay closed on that thing.
"This is all Mazda (MX5)", yup, that'll be all the bits that are all covered in rust!
I think you can "look forward to short life" in either one of those! Brave man. :)
Here for a good time, not a long time!
Were Hammond behind the wheel of this thing instead of Ben, I'm sure we'd get at least one declaration of 'I AM A DRIVING GOD!!' before Hamster came to the scene of yet another accident.
Great collaboration! Mark looked absolutely terrified in that TukTuk, understandably so. Also like that you had time to look at Adams feet while driving that car, absolutely mad! Great fun!
Thank you everyone. I loved that video from beginning to end.

Imagine being the fella who told the Stig off for doing a couple donuts 😂😂. He shouldve been privileged to see the master at work 😆😆😆
This kinda proves the pirelli advert.... "Power is nothing without control"
I thought I recognised that little circuit ! One of my locals. 40 mins up the road from me. A tad small for the Atom to stretch its legs properly though! Thanks for sharing. 🚘👍🏻
Sounds like the people running the place are not much fun.
4:38 literally made me "LOL" =)
Love seeing this car come past work , always can hear it instead of the gtrs that usually come past 😂
Crazy machine.
Showing your skills while showing those machines what they are built to do. I must say Mark McCann was close to having babies with the Oh hell handle.
I genuinely sat with my hands over my mouth from 4:00 to 8:00, I'm sitting in the comfort of my chair watching this and still terrified for Ben!
Poor mans Deltawing

Bloody Lunatic! 💚😎
Going into production?
I hope not! 😁
“Well done and welcome to a short life!” Says it all 😂
First honest opinion, Sketchy as hell but 100% adrenaline rush!... Misha came out OMG im in love!
Some say he is the third member of the Daft Punk
all we know is that you have conkers made of something unreal in throwing that beast about . your a legend as always
That's an amazing job o with the tuk
I am very disappointed that his suit is not white anymore
I know APE 50 back in the day. It looked similar to this tuk-tuk. But setting up all that new junk on it and giving it 100x the performance of an APE 50... is just ridiculously hilarious and insane.
I was just thinking 'I wonder if Misha has seen this video?' then he walked into the shot 😅
Ben and Misha! what an awesome Combo!
What point did he show up? Never saw or heard him.
@@junatah5903 bruh... these 2 make videos together look at the videos!
@@junatah5903 11:05
Nowhere near as awesome as sabine and tiff on 5th gear driving a 3 wheeler,like poor old Freddie crashed.how he flipped it I have no idea.
Brilliant 👌 love this bunch
Not enough Misha 😋
Ben not saying a word while driving that thing, says it all.

At least the TucTuc had a roof for a little protection.
More please. Great to see Mark & Adam.
This thing needs an LSD more than any vehicle ever created.
A diff would just transform the cornering.
Easy fix for an MX5 rear end.
Crazy machine !!!!
incredible driving to handle that thing like you did! I honestly didn't think that level of throttle would be possible. Great video!
Mark has probably already ordered a turbo Busa tuk tuk to jump on his track. 😂
10:20 Good thing you have the rain tires on the Atom !
Well done Ben great vid, glad you enjoyed the cars and the day
Absolutely
that poor ariel atom. amazing build but its quite obvious it is not suited for such a track. I reckon the stock amount of power would have been faster on that day.
Lol why did i only find this now
Good to see stiggy being polite and apologetic to marshalls. A proper gent and a true hotshoe. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Well I'll be danged....!!...that fella working for Nissan copied that design for the deltawing no doubt....you could've beeen much quicker....😬🤣
THE STIG!!!! I found you finally! Subed and liked!
I would love to see that Aerial Atom when it's dialed in so it can handle corners.
1000 kg of downforce should do it.
Pure and total awesomeness!! I felt the energy of that TukTuk, that Ariel though God above… it was like Thor had a baby with Godzilla - eesh
Lol I love the fact that you are using Mark McCann as a ballast boy love mark such a good guy hes new to the youtube game but his videos seem like he's been doing it for years . if you subscribe to anyone today Let It Be
Mark McCann😊
"... bench mark of speed..." 😂😂
Things an animal, wonder what be like on a straighter track, or less turns, get the power down, bet its frightening lol ❤❤
Loved the Atom, shame the guy had to put a bad tone to the video at the end.
can see why ben was best stig they should of just let him speak would of done brilliantly
I just love Ben's dry witt! Such a cool dude.
The donuts at the end 😂👌 Bloody Legend Mate 👍
Great video, but what is AdamC doing in this company with the big guys?
Can’t wait to see Ben drive double stints at the 24 Hours of Tuk-Tuk!
That atom just shows the potential of the K20C platform from the modern CTR/Accord, would love to swap my SI someday if the engines get cheaper

What an astonishing driver Collins is. His level of skill is breathtaking.
Haha... This is class.! Well done, Ben Collins.! 😁
Most exiting 19 minutes 18 seconds ever.
I was just waiting for mat Armstrong to come flying past on his bmx lol
Definitely loved the Honda - 1000hp.! Wow.. Quality Ben
Ben mate everyone wants to see you thrash cars about straight up its what you best at. Love the interviews but your the proper stig
A little blue coffin, you guys are nuts 😆😆😆
the higher camera while stif driving is ace should do that one everytime
It says something that Ben is almost completely silent when driving this beast. He needed to concentrate to keep it well mannered.
Love it
Misha + Ben Collins is truly peak cartube
Misha taking Ben for a ride round the Ring in something rapid would be god tier.
Is this the stig?

English drivers seem fearless on a wet track 👶

That modified Atom looks like absolutely no fun at all to drive in a twisty damp track. My heart rate was way up just watching... No thanks!
misha at 17.23... love that )
well done Thank you
Thank you too!
Some of my favourite RUclipsrs at my local circuit.... wish I'd of known 😏
I’ve seen this little gem before, one of the best sleepers I have ever seen 🤙

That start setting the tone of the video is golden already
Ex-stig? You’ll always be «The stig»
Come drive my Ariel Atom in the US, less power at around 600 whp, but fully sorted suspension and aero for track use. I think you'd love it!
tuk tuk looks fun. almost motivational to get my own one going...
That piaggio busa is a machine Ben glad you liked driving it
