@@KyleFerguson1724hrs away before 2024 24hrs of LeMans bro. Which team you gonna root with? For me always Porsche.
@@purwantiallan5089 going for toyota for sure, i have a Tacoma so i need to root for them and i like Kobayashi anyway
@@purwantiallan5089ferrari all the way all the time forza ferrari sempre🎉
this is a nice positive twist in the replies
There's a good reason Gary Brabham was disowned by his entire family.
Just a TLDR refresher for the brabham siblings:
Geoff Brabham: 4-time IMSA Sportscar champion, and 24 hours of Le-Mans and Bathurst 1000 winner.
David Brabham: Japan Super GT Champion, Bathurst 1000 winner, 4-time sebring 12 hour (class) winner, 5 time Le-Mans winner including one overall win.
Gary Brabham: one sebring 12 hour win by virtue of being carried by his brother Geoff, did dirty stuff involving younglings and was disowned by his entire family.
What's Matty brabham up to ever since he left formula e?
@@Reiver-93last I've heard of him he was racing in the stadium supertrucks series and he also occasionally makes cameo appearances in IMSA so I'd say he's doing fine for himself as a racer.
@@gavalant366 Hell yeah! The Brabham name going strong.
A funny side story: during the Mexican Grand Prix of 1990 a dog run onto the track in one of the practice sessions and it took the hapless marshals a lot of time to catch it. Eccelstone commented with amusement: "The dog was very disciplined and stuck to his line. And it was fast, faster then the Life"
4:42 I googled and expected him to just be a pretty shitty driver
IT'S SO MUCH WORSE THAN THAT
"Life Sucks"
In other news, water is wet.
In other words, the sky is blue.
And in other, other news, the sky is blue and the clouds are white.
🤓☝️ Water is *actually* not wet, it just makes things wet
@@LotsOfToubleUsuallySeriousyeah take of your clothes buddy
@@ohmawgawdVEVO wait did i get that wrong? I wasn't really being serious.
Anyway, no
The Life had less power than a Cossie DFV from the 1970's.
That mades put on value the old cossie DFV ❤ old as hell, good 'till today❤
Oh, the DFV would have absolutley smoked it, I have no doubt about that.
Even the max quote they gave themselves was only 480 hp, which is about the same as a late 70s DFV.
Gary Brabham - The Prince Andrew of F1
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Welcome to Epstein Island, Mr Brabham."
Here's a hot take, i believe the 1998 Prost AP01 to be the worst car package in F1 history. They had names like Jenkins and Barnard on the design team even if dudot was technical director for frenchie political reasons. They had a promising 1997 season thanks to being a knockoff Benetton with Bridgestone and a mugen, two solid drivers in Trulli and Panis and Alain Prost running it with the promise of support from Jacques Chirac. Peugeot spent 7 years building hand grenades that occasionally made decent power levels and drove Jordan's technical department to distraction and spent more time causing arguments than committing to a development plan and by the time Alain got them to do business with him they'd given up on being good at anything. Life had no weight of expectation on them, an ex Ferrari engine designer from duldrum era Ferrari and a chassis disowned by it's creator so their WOAT title was just handed to them. Prost had to fight like a fucking champion to wind up with the disappointing shitstorm that he got
there is somewhere a really great comment (in which some describes) about how the team just couldnt work together and were just working against each other.
@@GWFires it seems to happen at every french super team. Renault, Ligier, Larousse, Prost, Renault/alpine and matra all went down the pan in a political maelstrom
@@michaelmaclean6965calling yourself "French team" is like setting yourself for failure, no joke.
1. French work hour was too short compared to UK and Italy, which while good for the workers, it also means much less time to develop the cars (particularly Prost which only had 40 hours/week compared to UK's 68 hours)
2. Guaranteed support from government and state-owned companies made them complacent - why spent extra efforts to be good if you can finish the season pointless AND still got paid the same?
3. Chauvinism - ask Tyrrell why Matra bailed on him, why Prost decided to ditch decent engine for a grenade, and why Alpine is still headquartering in Paris despite having their facilities in Enstone?
@@michaelskoomamacher5652 they're all great points, 2 is basically Ligier post 81 given the period they spent in pre qualifying with the same engines as Williams. I'd say that Larousse might be the exception since they actually had to fight, punched above their weight and didn't get free everything just for turning up. I believe Prost said that his wage bills were the same as McLaren's with half the staff when he was shutting it all down in 2001, I don't know if anyone ever ran the numbers but it sounds about right.
8:08 U.S.S.R Be like: hello! Didn’t see that one coming huh!?!
*Wonders why Josh has such a downer on Gary Brabham?*
*looks up Gary Brabham*
*Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh....*
A few other fun Life facts:
- Its recorded top speed was ~140mph.
- Its designer washed his hands of it because the carbon moulding had been done so poorly it visibly twisted and warped at speed.
- its only timed lap around Imola was so slow it is feasibly possible someone could beat it on a bicycle.
- One of its many breakdowns was due to the team not putting oil in it.
A motorized pencil sharpener... 😂
(Josh is in a class of his own when it comes to putting my spill-proof keyboard to the test.)
03:20, the year i was brought to *life* LOL
I just adore it, Josh. Specially, when myself lived that time.
BTW, here's a sugestion: do the life of Ginther Schmid, the man behind ATS and Rial, the only one that build two Formula 1 teams, and with a (very) short-fused temper.
Interesting! This topic definitely should get a video of its own! 😁
(*Googles Gary Brabham*)
Oh NO!
Well 2014 happened decades later….. with that green thing
It's still good enough to qualify on its own.
Sure, slower than GP2 car but it's not an accident waiting to happen.
@@emdotrod if we could refer it to being the ugliest car ever made 🤷♂️
The Caterham snow shovel could at least qualify within 107% and finished more than half of the races it entered. They look like a bunch of proper grown-ups compared to Life F1!
- Mom, can I have a Ferrari ?
- We already have a Ferrari at home
The Ferrari at home:
i think we've beaten this dead horse to the same bloody pulp we did to the lola mastercard team....
i've been waiting for a Josh Revell vid, like I searched his channel like 2 hours ago!
Life is essentially the "We have Ferrari at home" F1 team.
Haas 😂
Life is literally what happens when Soviets try to build their own Ferrari team.
5:05 - lol !!!! the actual speed of it! and yes thanks for the caption because it looks like a practice lap.
*Googles Gary Brabham*
.....Oh...so that's where that meme came from *Removes eyeballs with a spoon*
This car was something else. I'm currently watching the 1990 F1 season and I'm surprised whenever I see footage of the car moving at all during the pre-qualifying sessions instead of being parked.
Good pun for the video title! In comparision to LIFE Minardi also struggled in their first season but much less...
Honestly, I thought that there was no team worse than Andrea Moda, then Life came through literally and figuratively and said "hold my Peroni."
Mastercard Lola
Gary Brabham, remembered for the same reasons as Gary Glitter, and drove almost as fast...
Incredible video yet again! Josh never stops giving us works of art on RUclips. PS. What is the outro music for the video? It sounds amazing
For a motorized pencil sharpener??????
Josh, who hurt you? Normal people don't dish out this kind of savagery.
Life sucks, everything is f*cked up
Life is strange. The founder thinks he wants to Alive a Life only to find out that Life gave him lemons that Life is unalived.
oh no what have I done
I don't remember where I got the quote from, but I remember Giacomelli roasted the Life in a legandary way even when he was still driving for them.
He told a journalist he'd been hearing strange, unusual sounds from the engine. He suspected for once all the cylinders were actually firing.
Aaah different era of F1. Meanwhile racing outfits like Andretti is stonewalled now
VW also had a "W" engine (actually a VR) in its Pheaton. It leakes oil that murica would start to invade it. It needs 12 l of fresh oil every 15k km or 12 months. Internal recommandation is half the time for a longer life since this engine has terrible heat and load distribution. (Wich is also why its not a real W but a VR type.)
Gary Brabham? Probably related to Jack Brabham, one of the sports beloved drivers. Let’s look him up and see what he got up to.
…
Could you make a video on Top 10 Ugliest F1 cars ever?
He sure could;
There's the March 711-2, 1979 Ensign N179, Ensign N173, Ferrari F14T, Ferrari F2005, 2014 Caterham CT05, Lotus E22, Arrows A2, 1976 Ligier JS5, and Eifelland Type 21.
An intressting flowerpot is brilliant!
"Worst F1 car of all time"
huh, funny looking "EVERY SINGLE HAAS"
Those at least work :P
literally THE best time for formula one. life showing up at a race, giving up on the W12 engine and slapping in a standard 10, finding out the cowling now didnt fit because of the new engine, so driving around for half a lap without an engine cover, until it grenaded itself. thaaaaaaaaaaanks for the mammarieeeeeeeeeeees.....
oh and Andrea Moda basically trying to kill poor old Roberto Moreno and Perry McCarthy repeatedly because they couldnt afford to one run car let alone two, and therefore had to concentrate all the money they DIDNT have into the driver bringing in the most money.... which wasnt much to begin with.... because Andrea Moda. Very very sexy cars tho from them and Fondmetal.
Something funny with the l190 is that apparently the weight of the w12 engine was skewed to one side and caused the car to oversteer going one way and understeer the other
*googles Gary Brabham*
Oh. Oh no.
it's like an alternate timeline for brawn gp... only it's not an alternate, it actually happened.
"im going to search gary brabham, surely it cant be that bad"
*_searches_*
"oh...."
Regulations and standards were very relaxed back then. I like some aspects of this, but the Life car was pretty much like a different weaker category car.
Make a video on the collapse of Top Gear
Is the translation in € there just to help us understand the amount of money it would be now? Because the € didn't exist back then? 🤔Otherwise great video as always
I noticed the human animations look the same style as your fellow aussie "Feature History". I hope hes doing better now. I definitely miss his content.
You could talk about the worst LOOKING Formula One cars;
There's the March 711-2, 1979 Ensign N179, Ensign N173, Ferrari F14T, Ferrari F2005, 2014 Caterham CT05, Lotus E22, Arrows A2, 1976 Ligier JS5, and Eifelland Type 21.
Hey Josh can you make a video about 1992 Ferrari
The worst F1 car would be the BRM P83 aka Lotus 43. As cool as the H16 engine was, it kept blowing up. And unlike the Renault RS-01, they never made it stop blowing up.
I LOVE this story. Thanks for this video
Ah yes i was waiting for josh to discuss this particular oddity😂
Did Giacamelli finish that Imola lap? I got in touch with Virt Stat Man and he said that it was likely a timing error and the lap wasn't completed. Any sources on what that was like to drive, and why did he finish it and go round again to then pit!
You know that someone from Maranello had something to do from it.
So now I see why no one mentions Gary whenever they talk about the Brabham's, yikes
Ferrari 355's 3.5-litre V8 makes same power as Life's W12. There are hot hatches today with more power than Life's W12. Humdrum BMW M340i (NOT M3) made the same amount of power and A LOT more torque.
Well, Google definitely taught me something…
Oh, wow, I knew this car was poop but I didn’t realize the guy that designed it Alan Smithee’d it.
Life, uh... didn't find a way
Was literally talking about this with my 6 year old yesterday. He presumed it would have been fast with rubbish handling, I informed him of the terrible truth…
The W engine is so unbalanced it needs to be turbo charged low Rpm like in the Bugatti
The Bugatti isn't a true three bank W engine, it's two VR8s stuck together. Very different.
@@dylansmit3883I refer to it as a V16 with staggard piston configuration.
@@magnatarbeing8749 That's essentialy what the double VR concept is, yes.
At the risk of being mistaken, the car apparently won the Italian Grand Prix.
Wasnt the Life Garage in which they built the cars rented ? Wasnt the engine design something drawn in the early 80´s ? Didnt Gary Brabham came initial with Judd Engines, but they declined as the wanted to use there own engines ??? Why are no mentions about the asymmetrical air intake, which rendered 1/3 of the engine useless (it overheated like hell).
Just think, if Life had been at least a little successful, you could have used as a tagline "Life...finds a way."
The L190 is so bad it makes the A524 look like the W11!
Me looking at the Thumbnail: "Relatable TBH"
I actually thought those was going to be about Jody Scheckters 1980 Ferrari which was so bad it made him quit the championship halfway through the season 😂
4:40 its wasnt for touching kids...was it?
I’m sure it took part at Goodwood a few years ago with a W12 in it and it was discovered that there was a design error in the crank case which meant that it would need produce enough HP.,,,don’t quote me on that as I’m badly remembering another video
I think this car runs at the Adelaide Motorsport festival every year. Its still slow
0. It's always zero. Doesn't matter what the question is. Especially considering the Judd, it is 0
The most lifeless team in Formula 1 history
Jesus. Who thought it'd be a good idea to put the air intakes in the wake of the front wing alone 😳
Franco Rocchi joined Ferrari in 1949 and was actually a pretty good engineer - Rocchi. Mauro Forghieri and Giancarlo Bussi reworked the Ferrari 312B3 to to become the 312T, which was the only successful non-Ford powered car in the 1970s. He left Ferrari as an employee in 1980 but remained as a consultant until 1982 - he left due to heart problems, not incompetence. You can't be employed for 31 years at Ferrari as an engineer working for Enzo himself and be an idiot.
If Life had instead concentrated on developing the engine for a year or two in some random test mule cars, getting reliability from the running time, they might have actually done something with some investment.
Imagine calling your sports team "Life". What's next, Soul? Heart?
There were teams called LEC Refrigeration Racing, Custom Made Harry Stiller Racing and in 1975, a Berta-Ford. Life is mundane compared to this shit.
Life should have been called Lifeless...
Dude’s name is pronounced Rocky no Rotshee.
Life died.
Yes, life does indeed suck
kinda sad for the team but i will never be sad of seeing something with the ussr's name and flag fail and colapse, wich is funny, considering both Life and the Ussr failed and colapsed, and both paid 0 to their workers lmao
Nothing is worse than the ‘96 Ferrari.
I miss those days
Still prettier than any other contemporary F1 car of the last 24 years 😆
Look, even Josh knows that Haas is an Italian team, not the USA... lol
This man is a manus for sure
Actually he is pronounced ROCKY and not ROCHEY 😂 but otherwise your analysis is correct 😂
Speaking of disappointing racing cars; there's the Ferrari F2005.
Especially compared to the F2002, F2004 (the most famous one), F2006 and F2008.
The death of Life was rather sad.
yep
When it comes to the WORST team in F1 there are only 3 real contenders
Life
Andrea moda
Mastercard Lola
Wow, thanks for ending the video on a high note.
Worse f1 cars made are any redbull cars as the team cheats
I wish teams would be as easily accepted today, as the 90s 😂
Wonder what happened to the car?
According to German Wikipedia, it was purchased in the early 2000s by an Italian collector named Lorenzo Prandina, re-fitted with the Rocchi engine and is now a showcar rarely appearing live on track.
1999 != 1989
excelent video
I'm pretty sure gary still didn't do anything wrong at the time
Was it even a formula one in the first place?
Barely..
What's with sketchy Russians ruining F1? The Shannon outfit that killed Forti (about a week before Forti would naturally have ended) owned sukhoi, Dmitri Mazepin somehow managed to be the worst sponsor Haas ever had and Kvyat made Vettel look like a melodramatic liar by not torpedoing him in China because there was plenty of room on the inside
brilliant!
