Because of the “authentic footage” my two-year-old really enjoyed this video...well done

That exclusive F1 footage was soooo damn real that i couldn't belive they let you use that! 😂😂😂

I feel like James' imagination makes life harder for the editors.

The RS500 had a second, deactivated, injector bank and you only had to change a switch in the ECU and it instantly made like 400hp

If schools had teachers like James, noone would ever miss the lectures. Love you James, you're the best.

Hi Donut Media I work for Cosworth in Northampton! Love the Episode and love the Up to Speed series! Keep it up 👌

someone get this guy on rick and morty for an interdimensional cable episode

That footage was so damn authentic... It really felt like I was there. I miss those days, everything is so fake now

James' energy level is so high, I can charge my phone just by watching him.... and maybe also my tesla. Damn! He broke my ramcharger too with all the LIGHTNING LIGHTNING LIGHTNING

Editing team when James was going over the authentic footage: “Damn it”

Everytime The RS200 comes up I remember that accident in Sintra (Portugal). A friend of mine went to see the rally with his friend and his friend's mom. The three of them were among the people hit by Joaquim Santos' Ford... My friend was the only one that survived.... Cheers from Portugal

The Cosworth Escorts and Sierras of the late '80s and early '90s were just incredible cars.

Gotta love James and his sheer intensity

"Buff Mother Fathers" *I SPIT MY COFFEE*

Probably one of the most successful engine builders in motorsports ever. Besides the DFV, its been in so many different cars and brought them success. And Cosworth is designing the V12 engine for the McLaren F1's child, the T50.

Missed the opportunity to refer to them as “Buff Ducklings”, Pumphrey

Donut isn’t Donut without James Btw: Where the hell is the guy that says “Mo powah babeh”

Should do an episode of up to speed on the Ford Falcon! Legendary series of utes and sedans to come out of Australia. Nothing better than the Ford vs Holden, an xr6 turbo is something to behold.

Every time i see the up to speed intro with the buff horse pulling James on thr drive in movie screen, i think of the song wild horses couldn't drag me away.

“What an amazing race, what authentic footage” 😂😂

"Buff, yet intelligent" horses. Best joke in this episode for me.

Finally my 190E is being mentioned in up to speed

Dude I absolutely loved this video, love the antics, loved the information, and impressed by how much you know about British fords, and of course COSWORTH, great job.👍

Last time I was this early, James' father was just walking out the door

Can we have an Up To Speed on Jim Clark? That man was a friggin' legend.

The 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth is such a beautiful car! It would be the only car I would trade in a Subaru for. It's just fantastic

Fun fact the Cosworth Vega was one of the first production cars to have electronic fuel injection very fascinating

I see a “Dole fresh vegetables hat” is that the new sponsor??? Making good choices James!!! #nomorenosenergyforjames

You know when “audience member” comes back, he’s gonna wanna tell us all about what he did. I can’t wait😁

The rs500 race version made almost 700hp in 1987 insane

When I was growing up, my friend's Dad was a Ford exec in Dearborn, MI and had a Merkur XR4Ti in the mid to late 80s. The thing was a SVO and GT Mustang killer!

The 60s look a bit different than I thought it did. Because this is genuine, authentic footage

“Quack quack quack” -James, 2020

Pretty crazy how much I love cosworth. The getaway from Stockholm video with the escort cosworth and the supra was one of my favorite videos of all time, sound track to my child hood and I fell in love with the rs cosworth. Now that I’m older the cosworth Mercedes are easily some of my favorite cars.

The Sierras (along with the Skylines) are almost single-handedly responsible for the modern day V8 supercar racing in Australia. The Sierras were so fast when they brought them over in the late 80's early 90's that the local built cars couldn't compete... so they created a new class only for V8's... and left the Australian touring cars for the imports. Of course, no-one in Australia gave a crap about those (from a marketing perspective) and the V8 Supercars became the biggest domestic racing competition.

I think we need up to speed on Opel Kadett. When your hot hatch is leaving factory with name "Superboss" on the trunk you know that it's getting serious...

“Audience member”? I always thought his name was Mo, last name Powabebeh

"Oh... it's MONEY you're after. Here's all the pounds you need!" was by far my favourite up to speed animated line lol

My dad and his mom shared a cosworth Vega. He liked it a lot. Didn't seem that bad considering the 120hp dual cam 4cyl escort was only 5 years prior. We went through the whole 80s with the anemic 3rd gen Camaro that didn't even match the numbers of the 2nd gen until the 1993 4th gen came out. So it really wasn't that bad, just disappointing that it was intended to be closer to 200hp. The interior of the cosworth Vega has to be the loudest 70s styling of any production car with that gold hammered style dash that probably has some fancy name.

They almost had me with the dutch f1 footage if it wasn't for the mountains in the background.

Everyone is all worried about the crowd "mo power" James, I am just happy that James is back and hopefully he will take care of himself and taking it easy!!

This was one of the first Donut episodes I ever watched and couldn't get the audience member reference.. At the time, it (and many other gags) seemed soooo weird. Fast-forward 3 months, I've now watched nearly entire Donut opus and I'm coming back to this one and I just now realized the genious behind it. No other creative made re-watching their videos such a new experience for me. :) Thank you James, your work is truly inspiring and your dedication is contagious. Just.. thank you.

The volvo S60 was tuned by cosworth. Just make sure you get one with the blue valve cover.

I sure hope James finds his audience member buddy guy, I miss his valuable input

People: There's no such thing as a luxury muscle car.?? CTS-V: Hold my Supercharger.

Man That footage was super tense, can’t believe it was filmed live.

I'm going to miss audience member guy, but most importantly, did you guys see how authentic and real that footage was? I can't believe it.

I’m so glad he mentioned the Valkyrie’s N/A V12

Why am I so emotionally attached to "audience member"?

It's 5 in the morning here, and I am probably the only brony at this world that also owns a cossie; never, in my life, though both things could be merged together on a cars-oriented video channel for me to watch. You're awesome!

Watching this video workin on my audi made me feel a little better thanks James much love dude

James: minute long "authentic footage" with pirates Also James: minute long search for audience member Also also James: can't talk about the wins, not enough time.

Can we get a “MOE POWA BABY” for the missing Audience member

So James killed off "audience member" when he had his heart attack? Is that what happen?

love this coming from someone who rebuilds DFVs for a living

YES YES YES.. I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS!!! Now just do Prodrive and this channel is complete

“Wish we had Cossies” says every American ever

you forgot the early singer porsche. they also have a tuned costworth engine before they switch to ed pink as their engine rebuilder. amazing heritage. their rs1800 has a better hp to displacement ratio than a more modern dc2 type r. and it doesnt have vtec and was made in the 80's tech. WOW.

We need a video on the ep 82 Toyota GT starlet . Seems like everyone forgot about those

Ford: "we don care how much it costs. Cos worth it!"

That Aston at the end takes the cake. As if all Gearheads didn’t already love and respect cosworth.

I just want to thank you so much for these videos, the last few months have been really rough for me and the positivity you share in your videos gives me something too look forward too at the end of each and everyday. James you are a pinnacle in making learning about fast cars fun and comedic, also thank you too nolan and all the other guys and girls that create this awesome content! Youve inspired good energy everywhere

I love watching old BTCC videos. The Sierras were fire belching monsters. it was weird to see them racing on the same track as Vauxhall Astras.

Damn James I love you. Seeing you energetic gives me some of that hype. So thank you for your contribution and to all the donut media member and the Editors (they make it so good to watch)

I had a Ford Escort as my first car, absolutely loved it. I’d love to get a cosworth someday

You forgot to mention that the 2002-2004 SVT Focus's were powered by a Cosworth built Zetec aka the ST170 mated to a Getrag MT285 transmission 👍

I cant feel my legs I watched this sitting on the toilet I might be losing my job too

Kid: what's a cosworth? Me: BOYYYYYY

i have a 190e, can confirm its one of the best e-class mercs iv driven besides the 230e of 1983

"Dutch Grand Prix" -> shows the Paul Ricard French circuit in the background

Last time I was this early .. I still had a relationship with my father

"Real footage from Dutch GP" drives on Paul Ricard

1:15 i spit my coffee out of laughter when I saw the duck 🤣🤣🤣

i have a cosworth chevy vega, and its so great! horsepower is low, but its got a lot of torque. with the 4 speed transmission it take off from stop lights fast as F***. mine does not have the EFI anymore though, it has dual side draft carbs.

James know's the art of being funny and weird at the same time..

Love you guys.Im watching from Bosnia and i am 11 my dad always ask's me how i know so much about cars and i always show him this channel.

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, there were only two cars dominating the WRC: the Lancia Delta Integrale and the Ford Escort Cosworth RS.

And now these legends are building a V16 for Bugatti.

i miss that “audience member” too. Its not the same without him

I don't know if it is doable, but I would like to see an episode of "Up to speed" on Initial D to talk about the Japanese car culture in the 90's and all the Motorsport references that are in it.

That's some rich heritage. And they're still making awesome NA V12 engines for the T50 and T33

Hey i have something to say to james if he reads the comments congrats on outliving the heart attack man im 18. I have stress and heart problems that forced me to drop out of school at 16 when i was rushed to the er 5 days in a week before my classes even started because i was bullied for my height i had blood gushing from my nose and my mouth and soon followed by a seizure and i had a heart attack on the 5th day for 8hrs so ik how much it sucks. Keep the videos rollin my man and good luck to the recovering

I've had the pleasure of hearing those vintage F1 cars in person at a Masters race... Dear god headphones don't do it justice, Hearing a 3L v8 hit 11k rpm is surreal. If you're even remotely close to California, the Monterey Motorsport Reunion is worth whatever it costs you to get there.

FINALLY, the Cosworth episode. Thank you donut!!! what a way to start the year and the decade .

He said he was gonna cut it short in minute 10... then there was 13 more minutes lol. This dude is awesome

I looked away for a second and james was on the ground crying

I'm happy that james is back but I kinda miss the audience member :(

The Virgin Escort The CHAD 190E

And now 12k rpm Cosworth powered T50 by the legendary Gordon Murray, what an amazing company!

Can anyone put into words why we love listening to this dude say words? It's like, addictive.

21:07 The YBB engine & 4WD system that went in the Escort was from the Sierra and was on a shortened Sierra (RWD/4WD) platform. An Escort body was butchered and then welded on top of it... with little, if any, rust protection by Karmann.

All I need in my life to die happy is a Cosworth Sierra

Are they still making new episodes of Up To Speed? I haven’t seen a new one in awhile. By far my favorite Donut series.

My first car was a Sierra XR6 (South African modified from factory with a 3.0L Essex V6) my dad gave me when I turned 18. It wasn't a cossie, but man it was awesome.

Plz do one on the Offy. "Cozzah." - Adrian Millward

22:24 I think you mean GT86

I use to cast engine blocks,heads,bedplates,turbos etc ,best job I ever had

2020+ focus st/rs cosworth edition, that would be nice :D

6:51 petition to get this in the next season of Rick and Morty’s inter-dimensional cable

"so authentic FOOTAGE"
