Let's be honest here. That track day in the noble you did - NOTHING compared to this race. I mean the level of abject fear you must've had to overcome at certain points. Dude just remember "It's okay to say you're not OK!" & none of us will lose respect of you if you need to reach out & talk about what you went through during these races.
@@dundee2858 Make a race with ratings disabled, and everyone gets a toptuned gt2/3 version of the Suzuki Escudo. Now THAT would be fun and chaotic to watch 😂
My first attempt of this race resulted in someone running into me just before the mountain and i lost all momentum resulting in me being stuck at the bottom of it and being unable to get to the summit.
In 1980 I actually learned to drive on a Type 2 bay-window variant, 47 hp, and for my first two years of driving I had access only to that and a 652cc flat-twin Citroen Visa. What I can tell you is that you learn EVERYTHING about momentum and smoothness and carrying speed, and it has all served me well to this day. Incidentally the aero on these is not as bad as you might thing for a car of its era and general boxiness. Partly because they are very smooth underneath, pretty much nothing to disrupt airflow with all the drivetrain being at the back. The handling of this in the game looks very accurate to my memories
It was around 26-28 hours in the GT3. So here is my question for you. Do you ever want to see an other Super GT video? Because he will sarve to death or will die of sleep deprevation during the first 100 Laps XD
These are the types of races that make Gran Turismo stand out from the rest, the main appeal of this game (at least to me) is that you can race in normal cars that are not meant for racing, and i find that super fun.
*DID YOU KNOW:* You can tip over the sambus hippie van and do side wheelies? Just raise suspension high as possible and it goes very high. This will increase centre of mass height making it easier to topple over. Soften the suspension to make it bouncy so you can pendulum swing the car and carry the momentum over. Now turn hard or keep oscillating between sharp left and right turns untill the pendulum swing is enough to top it over. Not sure if it works online..but it's hella fun and hilarious..I've been doing it since GT sport where it could be done online for a while.
@15:34 when you say “boom! We’ve moved up just like that” Boom! A vision from Initial d, of Takumi Fujiwara in his 86, dropping his inside wheels into the gutter. That was so satisfying to watch, cheers mate. 👍🏼
Steve you have no idea how many you are helping with your great driving. Upset, bad day, depressed, unwell, we all know you will give us a lift with your entertainment. Keep it up.
To answer your question about drag, low speed is a bigger factor than the wide flat shape of the bus. With regards to the slipstream, not only are the cars not particularly drag limited until they nearly top out, minimizing bonus acceleration, the speeds are so low that the effective distance of the slipstream is much smaller than a similar scenario in faster cars
Steve has mastered motorsport. Not only did he win the most prestigious event... TWICE... but he has also figured out a way to summon the shadow realm in the back of a VW Bus. Absolute legend.
I used to drive one of these, but it was a later model with an incredible 50 hp! Can confirm it was not fast. Was scared to go over about 40 mph because it felt like it was going to shake apart.
U know this video is unrealistic as all hell when the samba bus doesn't have holidays for slack in the steering wheel, or that drivers didn't needed a new pair of pants while taking any sharp corners above 50mp/h. 10/10 video, and props got GT devs for making this race up.
You need to add the optional surfboard to the roof as it improves downforce in the corners. There is also a sex wax option in GT auto alongside the oil change.
That car was extremely popular in Brazil from the 50s up to the 2000s and is known as Kombi. You might get a Brazilian comment flood because of the car.
Very nice race, actually haha. Although it was slow, your narrative makes it exciting and very informative tbh. Love this channel. Tnx for the good time.
I love how you can't see out the back, but somehow the internal mirror can. Must be one of them fancy external camera jobs with a display that looks like a mirror ;)
I had a 1962 T2 that was pulled from a river near Portland, Oregon and speed painted Chevrolet White. Drove it across the country to Baltimore and back again. I'd kill to have it now.
No wonder super gt won the last race, the sheer intimidation of Thomas the tank engine livery has caused such enormous fear within anyone about the consequences of even bearing the thought of resisting that they rather gave up.
It seems a lot easier on the eye from a technical standpoint but gran turismo always has something up it sleeves in terms of the skill it requires, great content as per always top notch Super GT, can’t get enough of this game it’s like a daily thing for me , 42km to be exact 🤣
When I think I'm doing ok getting into the low 1:23s🤣. Really interesting seeing your lines on this. I also find that as there's no DR/SR update, most races are proper dirty.
I loved how your livery prevented you from looking behind, but your rear-view mirror was clear as can be. We'll just assume the VW bus was the first vehicle ever with a rear facing camera.
Back around 1970 I was 3 years old and we were moving into a new place with a driveway up a steep hill in Mill Valley, CA. My parents borrowed a friend's Microbus to move some stuff because Mill Valley in 1970. Granted, I was young, but I remember that we didn't get up that step hill, that I smelled my first burning clutch and that we literally came to a stop on the way up. It had to be unloaded at the bottom off the hill. Tl;Dr, can confirm near impossibility of navigating inclines in this vehicle.
First.
Also, merch is coming 👀 SuperGT.GG
Again... No Porsche ending? 😮

Time for some drip😮
You've been my primary source of entertainment the last few months, so I just wanted to thank you for all the videos.
Thank you for watching ❤
@@Super_GT I can see the opponents in the rear view mirror. 11:20
But like, he is so calm I love it
oh trust me i’m years in and steve is still my main source, you’ll be here a while 🥳
@@nfdids ok?
I wish there was more silly daily races like this, I'm sure this Thomas experience will haunt a lot of us till the end of time.
It does haunt you tbh
Also wish they’d let us use 1000 hp cars in multiplayer races, I just wanna race a McLaren f1 in my veneno

I'm sure there will be a horror movie coming to theatres that about its story
@@Bonde7280 I desperately want them to do the VW bus with the massive engine swap, that thing is a monster but in a stupid and fun way
Despite the windows being blacked out, the middle rear view mirror seems to work just fine. Truly a marvel of precision german engineering.
My first attempt of this race resulted in someone running into me just before the mountain and i lost all momentum resulting in me being stuck at the bottom of it and being unable to get to the summit.
Lol thats glorious
LEMAO
F 😂
At least your bus has wi-fi so you can watch Super GT vids from the bottom of the hill.
If you finish a race near the front the same thing will happen to the bot that drives your car while you wait for everyone else to finish. Hilarious

That's wonderful, thank you for sharing.
I laughed so hard when penalty did nothing to the car 😂😂😂
The car WAS the penalty
I guess under the hood, the code secretly switches what car you're really driving with this one for the length of the penalty.
I think it actually made it go faster
@@brasslion4176 It maybe just removes its slipstream effect on others...
Now had they put the penalty at the bottom of the large hill!!! 🤣 Might see some funny incidents!
imagine riding this 200rounds around the Nürburgring Nordschleife 😂
Just to finish P6
It was around 26-28 hours in the GT3. So here is my question for you. Do you ever want to see an other Super GT video? Because he will sarve to death or will die of sleep deprevation during the first 100 Laps XD
It’ll take around 70ish hours
If you include the Steilstrcke it won't make it around 😃
@@miweneia so he didn’t really do the longest race possible
You know it's a good race when even with 3 gran turismo tags, RUclips still thinks this is Euro Truck Simulator 2
These are the types of races that make Gran Turismo stand out from the rest, the main appeal of this game (at least to me) is that you can race in normal cars that are not meant for racing, and i find that super fun.
What makes it even more funny is having the Thomas the Tank Engine theme music in your head while watching the last race
Thomas theme but deepfried
There’s just something about racing cars and dry British Humor that is the most relaxing thing ever
I love these kind of races. It's a more laid back setting while still taking skill to master.
Loving your videos in general though :)
Slow Car Fast is my favorite way to play. I 100% agree we need more low powered races
Very cool, glad to finally see Euro Truck Sim 2 showcased on the channel!
Underrated comment
Of all the sentences I thought I'd hear today, "The aerodynamics of Thomas the tank engine are second to none." was not on the list
That Thomas scared me as hell. This is the scariest episode of this channel
*DID YOU KNOW:*

The penalty did absolutely nothing 😂😂😂😂😂 that was funny
Bus was already too slow
Pens have you brake to a limited speed, but if youre already going that speed it does nothing. Hilarious oversight
It’s the funniest idea because with a van, you have more than 1 WHOLE canvas to write, draw, or decal over!
Thomas nightmare fuel aside (I’m not sleeping tonight), great job SAMBA-ing your way from the slow-motion chaos. 😅
This is why this channel is so good. You can tell a story with a race this mental.
Feel bad that Scott Speed never got his chance :(
He'd absolutely demolish all the opponents it wouldn't even be funny
Look at the minimap after the hill in the first lap, someone was REALLY struggling to get up😂😂
2:25
The longest climb of all time for 30sec xD
Ah man I wish superGT picked up on this 😂😂😂
"What's your 0-60 time?"
Sambabus: "YES"
I loved it, did quite a lot of laps in quali and managed to make the most of it with manual, races like this are so incredibly fun!
Yeah having an actual manual simulator gearbox irl is really op in these slow races since you nearly dont lose any speed while shifting up
They sure were smoking something strong before coming up with this combination.
My dad has owned one of these, before switching to a Beetle. Very good van/car/recreational vehicle!
"The Pole, in the pole" is a very simple statement and makes perfect sense in context, yet keeps making me chuckle.
@15:34 when you say “boom! We’ve moved up just like that” Boom! A vision from Initial d, of Takumi Fujiwara in his 86, dropping his inside wheels into the gutter. That was so satisfying to watch, cheers mate. 👍🏼
That moment when a car is so slow that the penalty line turns into a flatout section
SuperGT, the ending of that last race was honestly thrilling to watch. Congrats on that one
Steve you have no idea how many you are helping with your great driving. Upset, bad day, depressed, unwell, we all know you will give us a lift with your entertainment. Keep it up.
What a sight to see, kombis 5 wide into the first bend. Lovely stuff 😆
Lucky they had crash helmets!!! It was hairy!!
When he said Samba, lm going..it's a Kombi.. never heard of a Samba.
Are you South African? I'm a brit who grew up there. I haven't heard anyone else refer to them as kombi's!?
I live in NZ where we call them kombi vans but I guess in game it's called a samba bus

Yeah, sounds about right and I'd say that was pretty much translated to what i felt on the game.
Love how you can see out the rear view mirror but not the back window...

FInally! Super GT uploading some long-overdue Euro Truck Simulator 2 gameplay 🎉🎉 the future shines bright, can't wait for more
11:55 Gorgeous double PIT maneuver
I love that these game creators keep good sense of humor 😂
There should deffo be a feature in the Sambabuss race that everyone can play their own jams out of their car, so would be a true SambaRace
He was so happy on the grid while in his Thomas car.
I had a nap in the middle of the race, woke refreshed and over joyed to see Super GT wining the event!!!
Wow these Sambabus liveries are next level lmao, Thomas, rusted Coca Cola, Suzuki, etc
Did my driving License on this bus and had to drive it during military duties for the Bundeswehr. Actually the Model 2 (T2)
It's not very often you get a racing series that manages to be within the speed limit
This was by far the most exiting race you ever have done, specially with Thomas the Locomotive..... Very well DONE!!! Great CONTENT
Now THIS is a race people. F1, take notes.
8:00 If F&F 2 taught me anything, it that's downshifting always makes your car faster and is therefore always a good idea.
But only when you have 16 gears like F&F.
I dare say that if you were going 67mph in one of this IRL you’d have some serious butt-pucker.
14:28 had me absolutely dying😂
Bro was so absorbed into the race that he didn't notice his 4th dimensional rear view mirrors that allowed him to see through his own window livery.
"0 to 60 in just minutes! What speed!"
Whoever made that Suzuki truck livery killed it
"which is absolutely astronomical" 😂😂😂 lmaooo i love your sense of humour
The Thomas the tank engine intimidation strategy is countered by the Suzuki no rear view strat
U know this video is unrealistic as all hell when the samba bus doesn't have holidays for slack in the steering wheel, or that drivers didn't needed a new pair of pants while taking any sharp corners above 50mp/h. 10/10 video, and props got GT devs for making this race up.
Thomas the demonic spawn as the thumbnail. Truly one of the trains of all time
The rear-view mirror on the Suzuki somehow works.
There's magic in Gran Turismo. Or alien technology.
Looks like a convoy of tour buses headed to the French Riviera in an exodus enmasse for spring break!
I love these super low hp races, I’d have a daily race d just for these combos
Your commentary makes this race a pearl. 😂
Would love to see you drive this in a livestream 200 laps of the Nurburgring
_Thomas was an absolute menace today._
This is what it's like trying to pull into a campsite in St Ives at the beginning of the season
You need to add the optional surfboard to the roof as it improves downforce in the corners. There is also a sex wax option in GT auto alongside the oil change.

8:33
Very reminiscent of the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans or the 1967 24 hours of Daytona except this was over third instead of first.
Funny that the back mirror stil shows the view even though you have a livery on the windows 😂
Very nice race, actually haha. Although it was slow, your narrative makes it exciting and very informative tbh. Love this channel. Tnx for the good time.
12:49 he's actually doing the same strat the F1 cars did at Zandvoort
What a gripping race. I was hooked as you all hurtled down towards turn 1. During the lap reaching such tremendous speeds of nearly 70mph.
Peak motorsport, ACC and iRacing could never

Whoever's idea this was, deserves a raise.
Or to be shot
"there's a timer - bottom left of the screen" - Steve casually ignoring the TIMER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS SCREEN.
You should do this race in VR!
I had a fit watching this 😂😂😂 Entertaining as always GOAT!!
I love that you can't look behind you yet your center rear view mirror works
That was not the old switcheroo, that was the switcheroo that makes you grow old. Great video as always!
this the type of race you watch having a picnic in the middle of the track
even for its time this thing is slow, they must have stole 4 lawnmowers and reverse engineered it to work in this toaster.

Anyone notice how Steve's pinned Euro Truck Simulator 2 as the game, not GT7? That's the mark of the GOAT. On ya Steve
Haha, The Pole who was on pole. Speedy snails. I loved that bit of merriment in what was after all, a serious race! LOL
When I think I'm doing ok getting into the low 1:23s🤣. Really interesting seeing your lines on this. I also find that as there's no DR/SR update, most races are proper dirty.
With how strong the livery was, nobody wanted to overtake you.
I lost it when @14:30 the camera focused on the kid toying R/L with the wheel hahahaha
That "OHH YESSS" from Martin Tyler after Martial's debut goal always takes me back.
Fun fact: the drag coefficient of the beetle is bigger than the kombi
That IS a fun fact! Never knew that
Massive smiles 😂 throughout the whole video. Felt like I was watching slo-mo racing.

That MOIS_KOEPENICK guy got spun around 3 times during these 3 races, everytime at the same spot lmao
Other people in the lobby were saying he was being dirty so I guess they were getting their revenge.
Love the videos as always!... But if Thomas's face does haunt me in a nightmare I'm blaming you Steve. Jesus! 😳
