Today we’re letting a professional racing driver have a go in one of our terrible cars and we’re gonna drive his fully prepped race car. If we don’t beat it, our car gets CRUSHED. Charlie is a pro racing driver who’s competed in Le Mans twice, so he knows what he’s doing. The car we’ve chosen for him is our £1500, 140mph and usually broken Vauxhall Zafira. Meanwhile, we are complete amateurs, and we’ll be driving a £100,000 fully prepped Ginetta racecar. We’ll each get a few laps to get used to the car and then we’ll have one final timed lap.
A huge thank you to Ginetta for sorting the track for us! Check out Ginetta's channel @ginettatv

Car Vertical - "IF it's been Crashed, Clocked, Stolen etc... WALK AWAY!!!"... UNLESS your name is Alex when buying a certain yellow Ferrari ! 😏😉🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧
Isn’t it spelt Centre not the Americanised version of Center?
Only watched 30 seconds and I’m already preparing to say goodbye to the Zafira
Spoiler alert
It lives on
Same
Same
Consider they show it being crushed in those 30 secs lol

Zafira still doesn’t have enough hood vents tbh
It needs random fake vents on every body part imo
@@AdminAbuse Vent in the boot spoiler for no reason is my nomination
@@TheGregcellent what do you mean "for no reason" ?
It obviously is to releave pressure in the back.
@@TheGregcellent well known fact that every hood vent is an extra 5hp
It needs a hood delete
Thanks for bringing the car and Charlie back in one piece! We'll be ready to take on the the Zafira, double, triple or quadruple the horsepower!
Keep it up guys, making great cars, participating and hosting great races, and helping TDC stay up. One of the greatest car companies we have.
Thanks for letting TDC uses one of your cars! It was a very entertaining episode! Looking forward to more in the future
Great sport guys
@@mclarenf1lm374 Thanks to you guys for being an awesome audience!
@@jordan95budd It was a pleasure (although Charlie may feel slightly different!) Looking forward to the next one
Whenever Edwin is trying to get into a small car or a tight seat it looks like someone is trying to fold a wolf into a stroller
That'll be what I picture from now on! Spot on! 😂
Had to look up what a "stroller" was. It's what Americans call a pram.
@@C.I... we call em prams to
"Dad, do you want a Stella"
lmfao
Yes please
They should do Car Vertical reports on politicians instead
you'd never find a Vertical politician they are all bent in one way or another
@@ggj666shout 😂😂😂
It already exists, its called Ask Jeeves😂
"This politician has yellow warnings for mileage and damage ....that means if you see this person walk away"
@@grey_werewolf864 Can't say anyone has asked me to do a report on politicians but I can do a quick one for you... They're all cunts.
If you want to mod the Zafira, and want to get a little crazy with it - it shares an engine platform with the Chevy Cobalt SS and the Saab 9-3. Which means you can be the only people on earth with the 2.8L Holden turbo V6 out of a Saab 903/Cadillax BLS/Vectra VXR. Tell me this thing wouldn't rip with 400 horsepower being pushed out of it.
No room whatsoever in the Zafira engine bay for a Z28NET.
The Z20LET it has that's already forged by the previous owner would be trivial to take to 400hp. It would do 500+ if they changed the pistons but I suspect it's just a rod job.
It's not the same platform, the Z20LET / LEH in this is an older iron block design, but that means with a proper engine build and a big turbo it will make 400hp anyway.
4:45 Will's knowledge of Top Gear references is amazing. IYKYK ;)
I noticed that 🤣
he's got nothing on me
ahh shackletons
Came to the coment section to see if anyone else noticed 😂
lol he ghost clutched AND tapped the brake. Muscle memory meets survival instinct.
It is so satisfying to see this channel succeed. This channel is 3 months old with 200k subscribers and after 3 hours this video has 60k views, whereas car throttle with their 3 million subscribers has managed too scrape 16k views on their latest video in 4 days lmaooo
Well it clearly where Car Throttle are going wrong. You have to speculate to accumulate and that is buying cars to do projects with to make great content.
It's a shame that CT has gone the way it's gone but I am so fortunate that Auto Alex has invested in the AA Multiverse with TDC and All the Gear.
The content across the three channels is fantastic.
not gonna lie, would love a proper Zafira build, the GSI is pretty cool
😂😂😂😂
@@snoopydogg1 dont know why you're laughing. Porsche designed the car and its in their museum
@@asifnoaman8978 it's still a shit box ...... 🤣😂
@@snoopydogg1 sadly i'm struggling to give a bit of a fuck about your opinion 😥
@@snoopydogg1 so, the channel that started with a fire damaged egg-fried 911, a dodgy range rover and the smaller roadster known to man isn't exactly going to be rebuilding P1s anytime soon. We dont see enough GSIs (or STs for that matter) on mainstream youtube, and this would be an awesome build
Goal = Get the Zafira to match your times in that Ginetta (Charlie doing the laps).
We'll be ready
Loved the top gear old lady “you know” reference 😂😂
Glad I wasn't the only one to spot that.
I think Car Vertical needs an extra setting to tell us if a car has ever been owned by TDC, AutoAlex, or Matt Armstrong :)
Time to turn the Zafira into a race car. Cut out the fenders so you can drop it real low, make a wooden bodykit, create molds with the wood, and then create the actual bodykit. Would be a super fun project! And then stripping the interior, adding a roll cage and whatnot... What to do with the engine though? :)
Make it mid engined!
I think the Zafira is going to have to be transformed into the ultimate track weapon now.
The missing piece was D&B and a bucket hat. You guys are fucking hilarious
Seeing Will crawl out of that Ginetta has been the highlight of my day. Edwin’s arse crack was also up there.
The front of that ginetta looks so much like the Vauxhall vx220
Nah mate, it looks like that Ascari car they made in the 2000s
i clicked on the video because i thought it WAS a vx220 lol
@@Chubby_Lemon honestly, same lol
@@ZetaFuzzMachine you sure you got the right brand there? looks nothing like the 5 different models Ascari have produced since the mid 90’s you sure you’re not thinking of Lotus? 😂
Can we have a 90's touring car rep challenge? Like peak 90s bttc, Mondeo, A4, laguna, primera, 850r , vectra. Go round donnington and use the theme music from the TOCA racing games.
the zafira is brilliant but where’s the honda beat content 😢
Love the sillyness 😂 "dad,would you like a stella?" "oh good, we're going to arrive at school 10 mins early" 😂😂😂😂 brilliant
"wireless steering wheel" only thing attached was a wire 🤣 hilarious
Some advice Get it a intercooler and a tame less steal boost pipe and that is alr 250bhp
Go on tx autosport or Courtney sport that’s the z20let place
On Edwins lap Charlie looks terrified 😂😂😂😂
'Charlie told Edwin to push on'
Charlie's face told a different story
You guys should turn the crossfire into a Ginetta.
‘Wireless steering wheel’ 😂
Some electric cars do have that
@@jesukxd8494 it was funny because it still had an obvious wired attached
Le Mans twice is definitely either Les Mans or Deux Mans 😆
Love it when Will does some accents, it's hilarious 😂👌
I love Ginettas, looking forward to seeing the Zafari vs the V8 one in the future :P
We love them too!
@@ginettatv :D
Really glad to see you guys spreading a bit on RUclips and seeing more people become aware of your models :)
Hoping to see some stuff on your channel for the G10 at some point, looks like a such a little beast of a car and gorgeous too :)
@@kspectre21 Thanks! Really appreciate that, we're planning to do more!
It's on the list, still one of the best looking cars we've ever made!
Well done on the channel chaps. Some feedback though - please, please, please spend a minute or so at the start explaining why you are doing what you are doing (eg some sort of bet or "we wanted to see if the zafira was worth saving") and intro us to who else is going to be in the vid (eg this is my mate/bloke we met in the pub called Charlie and give us some of his credentials). Was a bit random that you were "going to crush the zafira" for no reason and Charlie seemed like he should/could have said a bit more. Good content though!
I second this, they should pretend the video is an ad for CV seeing as that bit is obviously perfect🤔
The Z20LEH is an extremely tunable engine, as is the Zafira OPC a tunable car.
You can get:
- full kit of Wössner forged pistons and rods right now for from Nevlock Performance
- upgraded gearbox with an added limited slip diff from Gear Lab for (or just the limited slip diff itself if you don't care about larger bearings and such)
- short shifter kit from BAF Motorsport
- boost silicone hoses kit from Roose Motorsport
- coolant silicon hoses from Speedcool
- H&R coilover kit from WinParts
- all UltraRacing chassis braces from VoorwindenParts and GT2i (there are more than 15 braces for the underbody, under the hood, inside the car, etc. and they make it race-car-like rigid)
a mini build series for the zafira would be legendary, will would have the time of his life.
Huge courage out of Charlie.
Super fun episode boys
13:21 "Right...I've forgotten everything" 😄
It's more common than you think!
We all want a full Zafira build. It would be an absolute weapon
I think the Zafira has to become part of the show now, occasionally upgrading it. Channel mascot at this point 🤣
The on screen chemistry you guys have in amazing, absolutely love the channel lads, superb content! Keep up the good work!
I don’t know which is funnier, Edwin lifting his left leg with his hands to get into the cockpit of a race car or Will getting out the race car ungracefully.
What an awesome idea, still a few seconds in but can tell it's going to be great.
the best video I've seen in ages. Howling with laughter at the "kids in the back"
One of the best videos I’ve seen - nice one lads - got a right chub on
"Is it easy to get in and out you know" that's some good reference
4:45
Great bit of content and happy that you are going to mod the crap out of that Zafira! A bit of D&B to accompany the lap was the perfect choice. 🙂
I went to Palmer sport and drove something very similar to this Ginetta. It was a Ginetta but without some of the bells and whistles which this thing has. Awesome car and would definitely recommend
That would be exactly the same car but with more bells and whistles like TC! Glad you had a great time
Absolutely brilliant episode guys 🎉
Love what you’re doing. Can’t wait to see the Zaf fully stripped and modded
So glade the zaf is staying!
Really feels like a old friend!!!
Kill the crossfire as thats just 5hittttt.
Great. Ginetta FTW.
Are the Decals on the Ginetta's front wheels Purple on accident or because TDC's colors?
Looking forward to the Zafira's build series
Complete coincidence, but clearly meant to be!
@@ginettatv Thank You for answering. Love Ginetta
@@gafrers Love you too
Banger of a video again - awesome work to build links with actual motor racing too 🙌
Your chemistry is great to watch. You’re much more natural than when you were on the channels that birthed you.
Ngl I was clenching all video bc I wanted to see more content on this . Great video guys
I'm really digging all the new videos from everybody on the CarVertical Network
Zafira should be a super cheap mod car, like, how to make you car faster on a 16yr old virgin budget, rescued parts, shady adaptations, straight gross incompetence, just fits it really, like how to make your Zafira GSI quicker with 26.87£ and a pack of gum to impress your ricing friends
a track build on the zafira would be amazing
Will doing a quick lap on a damp track is impressive. Great content guys. I am glad the Zafira survived.
Great job guys - Next months prize the Ginetta? Yeh? ok - a drive in the Ginetta, target 1:16:02 and wins the Sufera? [sic]
Track prepping that Zafira is going to fantastic to watch - please do it justice, not least as it would be great way to showcase some of the UK's decent after-market suppliers!
And you're travelling in the footsteps of giants such as the Renault Espace F1 - Roll on the Vauxall Zafira F500
Great video ,you 2 are very attaining,
Blyton Park raceway in the video, great little track owned by ginetta
Attaining?😅you mean entertaining?
Hell yes! - I want to see a full cage in the Zafira and DTM-looks and performance 😁👌
6:23 that's what they call....foreshadowing
I really like your content, keep up the good work!
Another top job fellas great drive from both of you 💪
Hope when I see the end of this video that zafira isn't getting scrapped there only going up in value
That Zafira needs to live on . I have owned amk1 gsi and now own a mk2 vxr , & am loving it
Car Vertical - "IF it's been Crashed, Clocked, Stolen etc... WALK AWAY!!!"... UNLESS your name is Alex when buying a certain yellow Ferrari ! 😏😉🤣🤣🤣 😎🇬🇧
Hahaha love the way you both went mental about the Zafira at the end 😂
5:09 wireless steering wheel. 🤣🤣 with a huge wire attached
Insta click from the other side of pond. Great fucking content, guys. Honestly think you guys will be up there with the best of them on car youtube if you keep this up (not Doug, let's not be crazy). The constant flow of fresh content really awesome. And you guys are really fucking funny to top it off. AND, you managed to make content involving a fucking crossfire entertaining.
this episode feels like an overdrive episode back in the day
The wiggler is crazy in the wet. Im on a track day at Blyton park this weekend. Great track
Mark my words, that zafira is blowing up
Zafira dad's are going to be upset
i knew a guy,who was a dad to a litter of kids and drove a seat Alhambra 1.8 20v turbo.thought he was the dogs bollux 😂
Ginetta, a car that sounds like an ice cream brand
Cornetta
I'm fully down for a proper zafira track tool build!!!
Sound of the straight cut gears is magnificent!
Isn't it just!
Let's be honest, none of us would remember to be a presenter if we were behind the wheel of a race car on track.
Love the fact that there is a fast Vauxhall in the RUclips scene. More Vauxhall love plzzzzz
Well done lads, what a great episode, give us mooooooooooore please.
For reasons unknown to humanity this Zafira is a perfect fit for TDC. I believe that modifying a regular car like it will be what Phil was to Alwx
Poor Charlie. However, great job guys. Can’t wait to see the Zafira getting the mods it deserves. Bucket hat on, Stella in hand. Let’s go boys! The McDonald’s car park awaits. 👍 from 🇦🇺
He's recovering
What a brilliant video. Absolutely love it.
CarVertical really be paying the bills these days haha love the vids keep em coming
Those Ginettas (both versions) are awesome.
Now you need to mod the Zafira until it can match or beat 1 min 16 seconds!
Just want to say congrats guys this video was awesome
Get going in that ginetta love them
4:25 nice Top Gun: Maverick reference there Will👍
Love the reference to Top Gear (rover james episode) - "is it easy to get in and out of you know" aka shakletons chairs 😂
You need to go full max power on that car, bring back the early 2000s
I assume this was filmed at Blyton race track with it being Ginetta. Only down the road from there would've loved to have felt the full force of the school run dad wagon of love.
Surprised you didn't hear the stella mobile popping and banging as it went around!
Great channel! Really enjoying it!
Came for the racing, stayed for the Zafira stereotype jokes 😂
Edwin wearing the ATG hoodie - love this new community
Blyton is such a great little track 👍🏻
Looking forward to the Zafira build. Show that thing some real love. I wanna see some super sketchy mods
Can not wait for this mini build 👍🏻
The laugh at 5:28 made my day
Ginettas are one of my favourite cars, ever since I've seen them on the btcc list. The V8 sound specially is amazing, and they're so fast, I'm glad they've gone against the V6, otherwise the battering would be as big as Germany-Scotland
No replacement for displacement 💪
That was ACTUALLY great!
