Started and finished college, got married, had three kids since I first subscribed to this channel. Glad to see a finished project.
Don't be so rude.
I would have thought you were joking, but actually, you're probably right!
Congratulations. Maybe we'll see Binky finished when your children go to university!
I died and came back from the dead since I first subscribed to this channel. Worth it.
I was a hopeless drunk when I started following, still hopeless just not drunk
69 is the greatest racing number...because when you flipped over in the ditch, they can still tell which car it is!
fredy gump is that an old rally trick?
Nice
Plus the girls love it
Nice
yes but from inside the car it looks like "ed" 🤔
That camera is definitely going to need a bracket.
A cad one at that
And a template
Maybe several
And more tea possibly biscuits 😋
Nic: (breathing heavily)
As if 2020 can't get any stranger. They started, finished and even raced a project in the same year.
They might as well go the whole hog and endorse Trump
Man not knowing the track and having 20 minutes practice at cadwell isn’t enough to keep up with someone that knows it well, I’d say 2nd is a fucking result! Get a track day on each calendar event over winter and you’ll be flying!
2nd and last on the lead lap only 18 seconds behind after 45 minutes is excellent.
Superb fucking result. Well done lads.
Nothing says confidence like driving a race car to the track.
Nah, confidence would be not taking a trailer
Yeah they did bring a trailer
Who wouldn't be confident in a famously reliable Citroën ;)
ruclips.net/video/fzd800eDaQg/видео.html
You mean, nothing says, "We didn't finish the library bus"...like driving the race car to the track instead of putting it in the bus. (But note they have a van with trailer just in case...)
2020: The year hell froze over and BOM finished a project.
Well it has been a crazy year.
Maybe Jafro's engine block will finally see a crank after 8+ months in the machine shop. Just a few more measurements...
Except a race car is never finished.
@@kenlangbridge9907 No, race car is finished after u do 10 times filp and bend a floor
A project is NEVER finished. There's ALWAYS room for another bracket...
18 seconds arears and second in class with a newly built car on a circuit you haven't driven before? Not a bad start. Congrats, Richard.
my thoughts, exactly. well done.
Drove it on the trailer at the end of the event - instead of having a wrecker place a ball of twisted metal on the trailer - well done.
The production quality of this series is insane, and I can't stop watching. I don't even know anything about cars.
Just noticed that you are listed in the Official Documentation as having a Citroen C1 WRC. Nice.
Woah, the car is on the road after 4 episodes?! This is unheard of for BOM!
379 Chris, don't sell us short.
Covid has some positives.
Where is Binky?
Binky can't be far away, it's almost done.... Well, apart from a full stripdown, paint and reassembly. There is that... ;)
@@benbrown3541 That will be atleast 5 episodes and seven months.
Well done dropping that forward facing camera. More road and glare than anything else.
Yep, would suggest one on the dash if allowed.
Just stick another gopro outside on the roof.
"No Richard, you will not have the drink"
"IS THE DRINK ON, OR NOT!?"
gloves and steering wheel
Bwoooah
"you might have a time penalty, dont panic"
"for what?"
"you might have time added on the end"
"FOR WHAT"
Is more of a hobby for me.
Richard, you know you Must stay away from alcohol or YOU start making brackets! (LOL!) I'll get you a nice cuppa when we get back. Richard: Water, water!
This Race Series illustrates the excellence of modern production engineering and techniques in which engines are mass produced on fully robotic production lines before being installed into cars for years of reliable motoring in all environmental and meteorological conditions before being bought for this Race Series and hammered around Caldwell Park with absolute reliability for 45 minutes!
That miracle of modern production quality apart, very well done to BOM on your first foray into this new Race Series with good placement!
This is a truly inspiring video series and a suberb tutorial.
Grindrod - Now that is a proper arch-nemisis name if I ever heard one.
So true. And I didn't realize Slytherin had a car racing team.
40 mins around any track is knackering. Cadwell where you never get a break is punishing! Can Nick fabricate an in-car brew drinks machine...??
Love how you capture the paddock atmosphere, the assembly area stuff, the cluelessness sometimes and the honest apprehension. Club racing is mega!
A tea kettle might be dangerous at speed or when turned over.
@@pgtmr2713 It just needs the right bracket for the job and it will be fine.
@@IncusVidz Then, there's the power concerns. Perhaps a heat exchanger with a modified automotive thermostat. So the water is always hot and cools before it gets too hot. A FMIC for tea temperature management. So far as the tipping problem, I have an idea. A dispenser nozzle that cannot leak or dispense water, without a motor, no matter which direction it faces and pressure in the system seals it to prevent steam leaks. A motor that spins a ball with a shaft through it. Pressure greater than atmospheric seals the ball, spinning the ball transfers the hot water to the cup side. Something like how a roll on deodorant/anti-perspirant works. maube 3d printed with dimples to help dispensing speed. I'd also suggest an over pressure, engineered weak spot that vents outside the cabin in case something goes wrong. The way a radiator cap is designed to vent at 16-20 psi. I'm sure it would need many brackets.
@@pgtmr2713Many Brackets and always the Perfect Tea Temperature? Count me in
When the camera fell off I thought you rolled it!
same
Didnt realise you guys ever went outside, and assumed you got tanned from the sparks from a grinder or a welder
you joke but ive given my whole stomach, chest and arms sunburn from welding xD learnt that lesson
This whole video was a fantastic narrative of a day at the track. Covered the emotions, the stuff that was going on, and was just candid enough to make it lovely. Great video guys!
Thank you Pete.
I love Richards in-car driving commentary. Reminds me of every single time I drive to the shops. Or work. Or anywhere. Except I don't have a bleeper.
my vote is that the cowboy hat is worn every episode.
it really fits him well, I'd say he makes it look natural!
Nick's hat was definitely the MVP.
First thought, Nicolas Moran walt :)
He needs to say "that's not a knife" and confuse some people (mostly Americans) into thinking he Australian.
Terry Pratchett?
Strange to see u guys out into the wild open world 😂😂😬
They are garage creatures who rarely venture into the world, but very occasionally needs must.
"When is it not necessary?" "Well, that's what I'm saying."
You two crack me up.
"Which is your favourite nut because its gonna be hurting in a moment" lol
I can really recommend using the "spot meter" setting on the gopro to be able to see the outside of the car without over exposing it.
agree if you set it at a less of an angle away from the roof it will expose the outside better anyway.
God guys, really with the 69...
And the Citroën C1 WRC.
Brilliant
the best with 69 is if the car gets roled over its still 69.
Yeah they picked 69 cos it reads the same upside down...
An old mate was quite an aggressive, but lo skilled driver. We suggested he put his major sponsor on the underside of the car...
@@extec101 I just thought it was a joke tbh
@@kmac499 That should be a great joke on the underside of the car. If they did that also. Or something writen like "Please turn over this is not the end of the race"
@@extec101 Fun which ever way you're facing.
He doesn’t mind a bit a curb does he... you can tell they’re rally boys
Can’t argue with the results though! Well done Nick & Richard
It looks from the footage that the red Citroen has a touch more negative camber on the rear. Can’t wait to see next weeks episode when I turns out I’m way off.
I mean if your not taking curb your not racing
I really hope we continue to get highlights from your race weekends for as long as you race. This is the best personal race weekend coverage on RUclips
Thank you very much.
Love this almost vlog style video guys! Its great seeing you enjoying the cars that you're building! Only thing is HANDBRAKE! When doing your pit stop leave it off, the chances of the pads seizing to the discs is higher when they're up to temp especially when they're a drum style - easy to forget in the heat of the moment but if you have pit crew get some chocks instead if on unever ground 😉
Thoroughly enjoyed spotting that you fellows have snagged pride of place in the primary photo displayed on the City Car Cup web page, proudly liveried up with daft 'TOTALD' and '69'. To echo many statements on this video though, thoroughly surreal to see the completion of a BOM project. I'm only mildly comforted by the thought that this is only the first race of the season, so there'll undoubtedly be more minor tinkering with the C1 down the line for the rest of the series.
P2 & F2 - not everyone can do that in a car they've been driving for a time. Well done Rich, glad to see Nick was so supportive of you :-)
Awesome job! 2nd place at a track you hadn't been on in a car you had only driven a short time is fantastic in my eyes!
Yeah especially because he wins the next race.
Bloody good effort all round boys. A+ for effort.
I just noticed the "TotalD" stickers 10 minutes in HAHAHAHAAHAHA
i spotted that too!
Here's a few things to try... 1) Sparkplug indexing, 2)shim the tappet on the loose end of the specs, 3)change the grease in the cv's to a lower viscosity, 4)get injectors cleaned and flow tested, 5) (if allowed) reduce drag by making holes in rear bumper....
When that camera dropped I gasped and thought you had rolled the car. Great job guys 😱😱😱
me too...
Loved the tracking shot across the front of the van to Nick giving the bird. Pissed meself!
If only you finished Escargo by ploughing loads of time and money into it, you'd have saved money on that hotel.
If only...
do you know what's happening with that...?
This channel is so much better than american car shows (excluding roadkill). Most of the shows out here are usually a bunch of country twits with a big production buget to get a bunch of go fast parts. They read off a script and sound like the cops from Idiocracy while doing it.
Much bloody better than playing on a SIM. What a brilliant series! Fantastic to see the car smash around the track as a way to end it all.
That was fantastic, it seems really frustrating sharing the track with other cars not in the same competition and class as you!
This is... genuinely... THE BEST channel on RUclips!
" You should never over complicate things " Says the master of over complicating things :-)
"... unless it's absolutely necessary. And it's always absolutely necessary."
I have been waiting for you guys to post this video. We do not see much of this sort of thing in my corner of the USA. I tried watching the official BRSCC video for the first race. Sadly, it did not show me much of what I really wanted me to see, so I have elected to stick with the BOM videos and hope you show the races. You did not disappoint.
Congratulations on the 2nd place. Not knowing the track, to pull that off is a thing.
I look forward to next week's video.
Really good seeing Richard being himself without several attempts and editing. Clearly super handy behind the wheel to achieve that position at the end of your first session in an unfamiliar series.
Hats off to you both. 👍
Can’t lose with old Carroll “Nick” Shelby as your crew chief.....
He does have the right hat.
Lose*
Actually Nick looks like he's emulating the great Carroll Smith.
@@Harey0407 I thought he was auditioning for Brokeback mountain.
@@markrainford1219 I heard the film was a biopic of his life pre-Binky...
Love single manufacturer/type racing where it's down to the driver and not who has the deepest pockets. Brilliant
Makes it a level playing field and fare
Or the cheating more creative at least
I was in the middle of Total Recall (the good one...) and decided to quickly check youtube. Think of it as an intermission.
I've watched this video series. A. Fair few times. An the idea of driving the Car to the Track always makes me smile
Agreed, motorsport people are the best people. The amount of help you get at the track is amazing. Helping hands, parts, consumables all suddenly appear after you have an incident. Brilliant.
I genuinely enjoyed that more than watching F1. Wish I hadn’t sold my mrs aygo now!!
@Moe in reality it would have been another project to take a back seat while life carries on around me!! I’ve had my mini for 15 years and it’s still not finished!!
it's been an absolute joy and gift having RUclips recommend me this channel. Been here since EP: 1 and so happy to have seen it through. Subscribed to see more of this hilarious and informative content, cheers lads and well done on P2!
GREAT!! That was more exciting than ANY GP since Mansell retired!! 😁
Excellent driving and brilliant wrenching! What a team!! Terrific teamwork!!
Exceptional guys. Nice one. This is such a good series. I love that it is completely real with no added drama. TV production companies have a lot to learn from people like yourselves. Great show. I always look forward to your episodes
Thank you Adam. Appreciate that.
Thank you very much!
Many moons ago, not long after leaving school, I worked in a garage for a bloke whose brother raced formula 1st.
Cadwell was the first track I ever went to - I was one of 3 in the pit crew..(unpaid)
There was a bit of a crash and the race was stopped. I'll always remember attempting to fix a bent track-rod before the restart.. 'Fix' = bash with thumping sticks.
At the end of the day our crew had the joy of being passengers for a few laps in XR3i's - with instructors racing each other.
We never had the privileged of a hotel though, my bed was a sleeping bag a in the back of the truck - a ford cargo no less..
Well done BTW.....
Always a little twang of joy seeing a Bad Obsession vid drop...
I’m still in shock that you guys finished a project in 4 episodes (the rule book to stop Nik tinkering does wonders!) Congrats on the 2nd place on your first time out, not easy to jump up towards the top so quickly! Can’t wait to see what tricks you’ve got up your sleeves for next week!
Great story telling of a race weekend. Cheers Guys.
New to this channel about a week ago and have completely binged Binky, Escargot and this series. I'm completely hooked! Incredible drive Rich to qualify and finish second; Caldwell Park looks horrible for someone unfamiliar with it! Cheers for the great content and best of luck with the races
These "one make" series are so much fun with the bumper to bumper racing, and this looks even cheaper to get into than the Mighty Minis used to be !
'Have you seen this bracket'
.
.
.
Nick 'That's not a bracket.... THIS is a bracket'
"Totald" cracked me up :-)
new car, new (to you) track, solid result!
As always, fantastic stuff and fantastic to see you guys enjoying yourselves, you deserve it. And huge thanks to you, your families and all those others who bring these vids to screen. Amazing!!!
Got my NMFP t-shirt in the mail yesterday. Very excellent! And only about a week from the UK to Amerka.
And yes.... the intro to this series is what made me buy it. Product placement, Richard! ;-)
Thank you.
I’ve not been that excited about watching a race since Australian WSB at the start of 1999 season. And you could tell you were hitting nearly 50mph down the back straight. Brilliant little series of videos.
Great showing Richard. 2nd place for your first event is amazing. We all here know you'll do better on the next one.
I guess Richard has a bit of experience under his belt ;~)
this may be the first time I've seen the lads out of their jumpsuit/coveralls.
and it took my an embarrassingly long time to figure out Richard's shirt.
lol
Hold on I still haven't figured it out. Please help.
@@JanBabiuchHall Not My F'in Problem, I'm guessing.
@@ekw555 No Money For Parts... ?
Not Many Fabricated Parts
And available from their merch shop too.
Solid finish and the only car in the series that doesn't have the door lock linkages rattling about for 45 minutes! When will we see a new forward facing camera mounting bracket fabricated up? Well done Rich and Nik! The production quality has been really fantastic in this series!!
Asking the real questions here! Where is the proper camera bracket :D But very good first impression!!
That could be an episode on its own. Camera mount.
Love the start of this. Feels like a lot like that scene in Bullet, before the race. Top job.
Manfred Schmalbach .....absolutely agreed. It's far more challenging and rewarding to pedal a small car fast than a fast one slow as someone said! I had to buy a 2010 Aygo as I found it almost impossible to get in or out of the Caterham after my bike accident, but I've grown to love it, though apart from the new suspension it's bog stock.
It's like a modern 1275 Austin Cooper S only with airbags.
The track commentator sounds like the Craggy Island Funland tannoy voice...
"A marshall has become stuck in the tunnel of Clios..."
Ah come on now, Ted..
They are going to need a nurse.
I hope you know what you have done, with this Video.
These Aygo vaygo cars will be sold out on Monday afternoon in the hole UK and at the nett season you will have 2500 comperitors. The Initiator will have to make a Race Week not only one Sunday.
There's never been a better time to get a Swift Sport instead ;) much better car and already has a racing series
@@connerlabs oh they have a Swift cup in the UK too. Here in Germany, the Swift cup is verry popular too.
I drove hillclimb cup 25 years ago. Unfortunatly my health is not the best. I can't get a licence anymore but wrenching on cars is still my favorite work.
I was looking for the bumper sticker “When I grow up I want to be Binky”
BEST comment!
Binky has one that says “When YOU grow up, I want to be finished!”
camera from the crowd: just pottering along
Onboard cam: over 9000 mph
What an incredible insight to what it takes to get into motorsport this series is turning out to be and 2nd is a mighty result. Well done guys. Holding tight for the next thrilling instalment!
Alway a pleasure to watch your videos, the look of the C1 is beautiful!
I`m a little bit scared that the world wild end if Binky ever gets totally finished
@noxxi knox @R/S November is comming..
Don't worry. It will never be finished. Even when it's running fine and scaring the bejesus out of people and animals alike all around Shropshire on a daily basis, Nik will always find something to tinker. One day he might decide that turning the key to start doesn't give enough of a satisfying clicking sensation... do a bit of a redesign on the lock body. And you know where it's going to go from there.
I'm scared the world will end BEFORE it's finished!
@@markrainford1219 Don't worry man, the world ends in 2027. I'm certain Binky will be finished by then. If they take it in Bracket racing category they will win by a landslide. As for whether or not they will finish the escargot.
The apocalypse will be worth it if I get to see binky finished.
I love that you can still legally drive it on the road, where I live they would crush the car and think about throwing you in jail for the steering wheel alone!
Sounds like Switzerland to me ....
It probably won't pass an MOT inspection with a sticker over the airbag warning light, even if it's carbon fibre.
I guess you live in NSW too! BTW, great to see some club racing BOM. Plus, you guys seem to have the same kneeling pad I do!
Here in the States you probably wouldn't be able to drive that car on the streets. Car licensing and registration is done on a State by State basis, which if you count the various off shore territories, means there's well over 50 different sets of rules! Most of the States now require some sort of car insurance, without the driver side airbag, you likely couldn't get car insurance. Without car insurance you likely couldn't get registration.
@@olinzuercher6344 There is a special type of registration and insurance here in Michigan for "show/race cars", specifically for that purpose. There's also extra requirements to go with it, though, mainly a yearly mileage limit. (I think it's 2500mi per year?)
That looks like a whole bunch of fun. Great to watch guys.
My very first laps around a track in competition was the first driver in a 7 hour endurance race. I did a 2.5 hour stint. I had never been so nervous in my life as I was in the 20 minutes before the green flag and the first lap of the actual race.
Good on you for doing so well, Richard, despite the nerves pre-race nerves.
Get a little excited there when people fly past you and then go slower thru the corner eh?? Lots of fun.
Please get a bracket made for the forward facing camera and this time put it somewhere so we can actually see the track
Thanks
Who knew, Nick has a cowboy shaped head!
THAT LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!!!! And, this is what is missing in most racing, fun!
Excellent! It's great to see and I love the different dynamics between you guys
Is this the 1st time BOM have actually finished a project on RUclips?
Who made that camera bracket? Obviously not one of Nik’s.
Probably a stock Go Pro mount. I have no doubt Nik has already built one out of 7075 aluminum.
In totally the wrong place so better gone.
@@BradyBegeman 9999 Unobtanium is the preferred camera bracket material.
Holy poop, 2nd place first time out at Cadwell, I'm super impressed - it's a technical circuit. (Well, on two wheels it is)
Great stuff!!!! Actually racing from Bad Obsession Motorsport! (well apart from the rallying cut sequence in the opening creds of Binky!) Lovely work. Great video too. NMFP? Sounds bloody awesome, gotta love a triple! Were you imagining you were in a slow 911? Miss my GTti! Fast cars slowing you down on the apex? Time to give them to encouragement nudges!
Brilliant vid guys, reminded me of my racing days , long gone now , but the excitement still a fond memory , enjoy it mate.
We live 5 minutes away and still managed to miss this. Well done anyway.
as they say driving a slow car fast is more fun then driving a fast car slow.
Know that since I change from an 6L Ibiza 1.9 TDI 110 hp to a Mii 1.0 MPI 75 hp
@@osobuki Tbh thats not much a difference lol
@@osobuki i changed from a merc 190e 1.8 109 hp (which felt very fast at 140 km/h) to a 4.6 mustang 305 hp and a shitload of torque and it's very comfy at 200+ km/h. The merc was more of a adrenaline rush at low speeds and very fun in corners
exactly why I bought an fr-s lol
@@osobuki i got a 75hp clio so to go fast it need lots of brave in the corners not to lose the little speed gained on the straights.
01:13 low-key jacked camera man. Has Nick been this fit the whole time?
I ran the Corvette Challenge for 2 years. So much fun!!!! Love the MR-S!!! I had a BRS Widebody 2ZZGE swapped Turbo MR-S and it was always trying to kill me.
Nice result, 2nd on the first outing. For a couple of moments there, I thought it was Titus Pullo driving. Good job Richard. Can't wait for more!
“I never did get that drink.”
Kimi: First time?
Nik reminds me of Doc Brown at the start of BTTF 3. Specifically the drive-in cinema scene.
i just hope one day my grandkids get to finally find out what color binky is going to be
Indeed....! But, I think the rocker cover might be a hint........?
well , wait no more !!
@@888johnmac i know... now i just have to figure out a way to explain to them that "oh no youngsters, back in my time .. before the turn of the century as i recall ... white was just as spectacular as any of them other fancy technicolor hues you youngins got today"
Enjoyed watching this series. It's fun seeing cars that really were not ment to be raced actually raced. Sometimes it isn't about outright speed but the fun of close racing.
LOVED IT... Its my birthday on the 17 th Oct so i can wish you a Ton of success as a ex bike racer i enjoyed every second of your day THANK YOU Keep safe you lot.
