Callum learned what snap oversteer was real quick

Mind you Scott must be the first person who have Heel toe shifted in that car's entire life span

Those racing stickers added an extra 10 horsepower all by themselves

Suggestion: Make the cars quicker! Give eachother a budget of €500 to upgrade them. Also drop weight by removing seats etc! I love this series already

callum's logic for choosing the ka was genuinely spot on

These challenges are at Top Gear level, these will become iconic

My favorite sub 1000 bucks track car i ever owned was a beaten and battered Peugeot 206 GTI. Thing was destined for the scrapper but i saved and used it for the summer. Most fun i had in ages.

KA's are providing some decent racing entertainment atm, and showing up a few big name drivers in the process 👌👌

snack and a drink at the ready, it's time to watch some overdrive 💯

These are the challenges we love and cherish 👍 High quality content indeed😁

These challenges are honestly so entertaining, love it. I'd like to next see you each spend the value of the car (another grand) to make them more track focussed, and THEN do some track tours - Brands, Nurburgring, etc. Would be very cool to see what actual performance mods you can do for £1K!

Nice!!! This is the type of stuff that we love to see! You guys are turning into the modern Top Gear and I love it

YT Top Gear is back! :)

Its kinda suprising to see 3 adults being soo childish... so wholesome ❤❤❤

"They could give consent" 🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant stuff. Car challenges are a staple, and we won't ever get enough of them.

16:45 “i stay off the rubber and watch bomb hole, seems like a saturday night to me” This had me dead🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The new era of Top Gear has arrived!

Less than a minute in and I feel like I'm watching classic Top Gear, simply wonderful stuff :)

The 1.7l engine from the Puma will fit right into that Ka, as will the front brakes and suspension. A little fettling will bring that engine to about 160bhp without affecting reliability. A mate bought a Ka with a blown engine and a water soluble Puma and combined the 2 for a track car. If you can find them, do it.

For your Anusol sponsorship, a tag line suggestion: "Let the racing keep you on the edge of your seat, not your piles."

Great video! However, I'll have to defend the Astra's styling a bit, just because it was used for one of my favourite race cars, the Opel Astra V8 Coupé. Sadly the street legal Astra OPC X-treme (name's a bit silly) never made it to the originally planned small series production

Great to see something at Rockingham, shame that there’s no racing there anymore

This channel absolutely has the vibe of older Top Gear series, where it was just a lot of good fun. Really hope you can keep that feel going as the channel gets more popular.

This channel is an absolute gem. love it

The Ford Ka is a tremendous little ball of fun - the example I drove at launch was fantastic - in fact I nearly bought one. Seriously underrated, fun cars!

So I woke up at 3am and found this channel today, it's now 7.30am and I have completed it. Once it started in the subaru series and then the skinny tyres Caterham, mixed with the 3 presenters, it's a solid new top gear and I'm all in. Subbed

This channel has the exact same energy as top gear but does things normal people can afford. 10/10

I LOVE this series. Thank you, guys

this is honestly the nearest thing we can get to a modern Top Gear and I love you guys for it

The Ka was my first Fast Ford. What a fabulous little fun box. Any rust in the fuel filler cap per chance?

You could use the mid engined MG and explore how weight distribution affects a cars over-/under-steer tendencies. Put some additional weight in the front, rear or evenly distributed and see how it does.

you guys make so much funny content, and you all have great natural chemistry between yous

Will, do you know how excellent the astra is for track use? It's forgiving and teaches you a lot about steering wheel feedback. Well, at least the opel version, you know, the one where the steeringwheel is on the correct side? :D the suspension is superb, and increasing back tyre pressure to 3 bar and front tyre to 2.1 bar helped me back in the days to get his understeering behavior under control. Set the apex as late as possible, so you may get in the corner slowly but can accelerate earlier, because it understeers a lot under throttle and the lack of a lsd would just lead to wasted cornering potential. If you ever put hands on it, make sure reducing chamber in the rear an optionally increase it int the front, depends on the tyres you wanna use.

Totally LOVED this video. Top gear style that we're craving for... So many things to do with those cars. I would like to see a NC500 with the proper guests 😉 (autoalex and the car throttle guys)

im sure you 3 are in the uk same as me and we dont use the dollar we use the good old English pound so you got 3 cars for 808.50

This very much reminds me of 3 middle aged men doing the same thing some years ago, keep it up lads! Have you considered doing a video with Alex Kersten? That would be a blast!

That ford Ka when built actually makes it a really fun track car. Very popular choice here in Brazil. I drive a Ka myself but it's a recent model and it has nothing to do with the original one (it's basically a Fiesta ST without the turbo). The original one is pretty iconic. I also remember it in Gran Turismo.

The Ka is more fun than most cars. Raw as hell 👀

13:40 “just go easy, build up, let me win” 😂😂

I absolutely had a blast watching this.. my cheeks hurt from laughing so much 😂 awesome content lads love these videos! It almost gives me old school top gear vibes with you three having a dig at each other! 😉

Brilliant stuff guys! Such a good show! It would be cool to see if you could spend another 500 and beat the times you set in the other cars at knockhill. The goal to be seeing what the best way is to go as fast as possible as cheap as possible!

I really loved this top gear style videos, keep it up guys!!!

The best part is when Jeremy and Richard tinkered with James' car when he was inside the store 🤣

I was marshalling at the final corner, i thought the ka was going to roll most laps 😂😂 he liked the sausage kerb

Excellent video,the "Special"livery is absolutely funny!!!🤣🤣

Love this channel, always a pleasant surprise when I see an upload

pure Top Gear content...lov u guys...this is amazing

You know what would be nice for this type of challenges? People getting along well and respecting each other, not trying to copy Top Gear.

✨that was a twitchy bum moment✨ - Will's truly angelic voice

I love a banter and cheekiness of all 3 of these hosts. Really, they’d be great if they took the place for new Top Gear.

You are really making some good quality videos congrats

Absolutely hilarious. So well planned and written. Fab!

Little did Scott know how much that car would prove them all wrong, what a machine.

Such great content this. To take the idea further, I'd say put in another grand in parts to upgrade the car to be even faster, then go racing again, and see who improved the most.

Just the car show I've been craving

Won't be allowed now you have 'painted' them but would be great to see you guys do a targa rally in boggo standard 1000£ cars in the same categories. Could be a whole little serise! Car prep, practice, how tos and see who can win! Would be good to see targas get some coverage

"Where are the lads? Come on boys" said in utter silence had me dying

I think you guys should turn these cars into track beasts and see who can build the fastest car

Do tires, brake pads/fluid, dampers, routine maintenance and head out for round 2. I bet they would actually be fun then.

And so, the epic of the legendary Ford KA begins

I love the Ka as racing car! Had some of my funniest drives in it! Just get it on a very small, curvy track with bumps and jumps! That´s the most fun, you can have in a car! It is so agile! Has the (not so bad) running gear of a Fiesta, but is even smaller and lighter. Just get it on the right track and freak out!

I loved my KA. Really fun car to drive, and it's so cheap that you don't really worry if you scrape it. Really did punish that engine and it lasted through 2 solid years of hard driving without proper warming up. And with no traction control, it was super fun in the wet. Easily spins the fronts up to 40 in first. The KA hasn't got any power, but it has just the right balance for fast cornering on tight back roads. Also really stuck to the road when I had my mate with me. Kept up with a fiesta on one of our decent driving roads. He pulled on the straights, but I caught him in the corners. Handbrake turns are also fairly easy as there is virtually no weight in the back. Can't fault that car one bit. The only issue we had was a dead battery. Before the accident, I could probably have put that car up for sale for £2000. No advisories other than a dodgy garage that failed her for rust that was magically gone when we went to another garage. Really was in great condition. Unfortunately she got written off on the 8th of Jan 2023 as an 86 year old woman tried to turn into a carpark infront of me whilst I was doing 50mph on a 60mph road which was straight and flat, with nothing obstructing her view of my car. Not much you can do in any car in that situation. I'll miss my little yeg, And I won't ever forget her. Onwards and upwards though. Next car is going to be a 2015 to 2018 focus, preferably the 1.5. More power and wider tires, so hopefully I won't have fiestas pulling away from me on the straights anymore.

I'd love to see you take a wrench to these cars and do what you can to make them good without breaking the bank! Some decent tires, weight reduction, good brakes, etc.

Giving old top gear vibes

God why do i LOVE every video this channel uploads?

Please do more track day videos, this is epic!

Ka is an epic handling car, of which u can use all of the power. Fun like a Go-Cart, with a wheel planted right on the edge each corner. I used to love burning round in my Wife's old Ka!!

I had a Ford Ka. It went on all kinds of track days because I knew what I had - Ford's Fiesta IV platform which was always excellent. Yes, you can overtake Porsches because it's like driving a wee little roller skate.

Absolutely loved it! Maybe try to improve your cars within a fixed certain budget them a bit as per your test and go on a long ride also around a track.

You three need to do an EnduroKA Race to see how well you guys get on as a team, would love to see it.

Hands down the best KZfaq cars oriented Channel, every video gets me even convinced of this statement!!!

hahahah my mate grabbed a mk3 mr2 and i taught him about snap oversteer, first drive in the car he nearly snaps into the a wall he learnt his lessob real quick after that. i hooe callum enjoyed the mid layout platform great vid as always boys better then dount media on par with OG topgear

OMG I'm loving this episode already😂😂😂

You guys have nailed it again, brilliant video 👍

There's a "Lap of America" done by Hot Rod magazine every year, why not do your own version of "Lap of GB"? Take these 1000 pound cars, invite some other British youtubers to join in the fun like Alex and even Matt from Carwow and start from Dover then hit every massively known racetracks across Britain from the South to Wales then Scotland and then back towards the starting point. That would be a great adventure. Imagine hitting tracks like Silverstone, Knockhill, Brands Hatch, Thruxton, Donnington etc etc. Would be massive fun, chaos and banter across the journey where you test reliability, speed, power, agility and livability of the cars.

Love your stuff guys! I think you should upgrade all your cars with another £1000 and take them on track again

You are the guys we need in top gear😂

Please dont stop doing these. they give me old school top gear vibes

Love the KA, grandfarther owns one and used to race it! he did pretty decent and even got featured in a magazine in the early 2000's!

these challenges are top gear / car throttle level, hope to see more actions from these car

Love this episode. I drive my MGF on the racetrack a few times each year. Although mine doesn’t have a golden steering wheel, It’s actually a super fun car for track days! :)

Three British chaps in cheap broken-down cars, driving and testing them along with some banter. Damn they should make this into a TV-series, I reckon it'd be huge

“And here we are, through Bomb Hole - first time for everything” First time for everything indeed Callum! Happy for ya 👍🏾

This channel is absolutely incredible!

this channel is slowly becoming top gear and I love it

Them tires on the MG are as old as me!🤣

At 8:56 callum predicts what happens to him on track

The bumps through Bombhole have been dealt with by Will and his Anusol Astra.

I love this, it reminds me of top gear.

I love this trio

Amazing content lads ❤️

Take the drive to nurburg, throw a grand at mods for track day and 1st place gets 1st class transport back and others drive (if possible) back to blighty. Loving the work chaps.

The Ka livery reminds me to a Ford Ka which appeared in Cross Racing Championship (2005 game). It was almost identical. Great video, guys! From a Spanish fan of yours

Well I'm going to miss the old name "Driven Media" But at least with "OVERDRIVE" people won't confuse you all with DonutMedia, so in my mind this is an absolute step up!

OG Top Gear vibes. Even if this idea isn’t “original” I still love it.

I took the Nigel Mansell racing school at Snetterton back in the 1990's. I had a lot of fun. I spent a lot race days there.....a lot!

how bad are the sills on the MGF? also KA endurance racing?

Love these racing videos

such a fun video, i had the same mg here in portugal, loved it, almost killed me a couple of times, spins so easly. great car, just dont be scared to die
