do you reckon you’re going to get on um on a roller I reckon the mar Eight’s Got it okay it’s uh it’s got a seven speed instead of a six speed so gbx a bit better got a little bit more power M so we

happily lose either way you happily lose no we’re just hanging out do you know what I mean I reckon roll rollers I’ve got it launch maybe the Mark 7 okay cool all right Connie how do You reckon you’re going to get on it’s going to be interesting okay I think this is going to be really I hope it’s going to be close Okay um I do think launch Ed no no yeah no you agree with what you’re saying oh sorry lach I do think rolling you re to Have him didn’t you I’d like to think so but I don’t know no you got hope wa just have confident you’re going to beat your brother today right I’d like to okay she said she’s going to win everything basically she just going to win everything today all right guys with That said uh nice clean race no biting yeah man no pinching Let’s Race just a little bit first up it’s the roll races but before we get cracking let’s get a few sound Checks and once again both car today are running extremely close power to weight ratios so the races should be close let’s get it and annoyingly Ed’s POV Camp decided to give up on life just before the roll races started perfect can’t wait to get gapped by my sister you can Just Let’s go oh my God I think my soul just left my body definitely mar8 I’m saying definitely mar8 I don’t know if the Mark 7 took a little while to kick down or what happened but that Mark 8 just got off like a rocket let’s find out how Much he won by finish line finish line uh I’m assuming that was the Mark 8 that one if so how much car lengths buy you are correct it was the mark that one and it one by two car close it was close it was close one by two car lengths oh I’m never going to hear the end of this and Ed takes the first roll race Victory beating his sister by around two car lengths pretty damn close though let’s line him back up and go again I think we’re Min so high up in the rivs By the time we get going there’s like no lag at All Yeah oh she’s got me this time she’s got me you wait where wait sick so sick I’m saying that was a close race that was a close race I’m swaying towards the Mark 7 there if the Mark 7 didn’t win it was extremely close finish line finish line who won That this time the mark 71 by about half a car ohoo it’s tight no way did I get him that much that I didn’t even say that was1 about half a car L half a car length more than that one It let’s go dude good job and yep Connie you’re correct you beat the mark eight by more than that it was two car lengths in a complete roll race reversal Connie’s car grips and dips that time and pulls one back for the Mark 7 gang It’s one0 Let’s Line them back up for a decide side [Applause] On oh we’s going to get it He’s going to get It oh my God stop slow down steady dude that was as close as it could possibly be what the hell that was so sick all this is very very close and from where I’m standing it looks like Connie was ahead but it looks like the mark Might have run her down let’s find out finish line finish line who won that it’s extremely close we’re just watching a replay two seconds cut to instant replay the Finish has just watched the replay and the Mark 7 W by a bumper just as the aerplane goes over so If you didn’t hear that the Mark 7 one by a bumper looks like it’s a one to the G power the Finish Line has just watched the replay and the mark1 bumper she got it really really close she got it and in one of the closest finishes We’ve seen in a long time here at the B B the pair hit the Finish Line near on the exact same time however watching the replay back many times we’re going to say the Mark 7 just took the win by the tiniest of margins Madness so with race results that close Let’s see what the v-box 100 to 200 data says and true to the results the Mark 7 actually just proves to be marginally the faster car going 100 to 200 kph in just 7.7 9 seconds the Mark 8 under a 10th slower runs a best time of 7.87 Seconds seriously well matched right but unfortunately no car quite fast enough to chart amongst the elite 15 that’s data to back up the results and round one goes to Connie and the Mark 7 lovers next up is the drag races and with two high-powered front-wheel drive cars Traction will be sure to leave the chat let’s get it right full launch control we’re just going to see what happens ready ready ready set Go pleas pleas by not bad although uh smells a bit hot you know what right so the I feel like the Mark 8 went into a launch control spun up its Wheels Connie’s car in the mark Connie and the Mark 7 seemed to get off a lot slower but then I’m not Sure if she looked like she was running him down I might be completely wrong where I’m standing that’s that look but let’s find out finish line finish line who won that the mark won that by half a car length oh man that was closer than I thought Jeez I am going to have no tires left by the end of this and I’m so that dude is so sick man so sick and it was actually more like a car length victory for the Mark 8 there he drives round Connie and makes it to the line First Let’s Line him back up and go again ready ready ready set Go Oh she’s got me I reckon I don’t know what’s going on here I think I’ve got him that is scary in the best of ways that was close that was close con definitely got me though seemed to it seemed to almost bog down for a Second but uh I don’t feel it would have made much of a difference Connie had that one I’m saying Connie in a Mark 7 W that I think she yeah I I I feel like she got a better start but then uh Ed started to Read her in in a mark eight but then it looked to me like she finished first let f up finish line finish line who won thaton oh that’s line him back up for de side On and once again Connie and the Mark 7 lovers are back in the game taking a win by around a car’s length strangely it looked like the Mark 8 was coming back strong in the top half but not strong enough once again it’s boiled down to a Decid race place your bets and let’s go Ready Ready Set Go We’ve got we’ve got it that was a pretty decent launch taking the big old home corn we’ve got let’s go two out three she do ah it was all or nothing Cody went in too strong she chose violence and just done a 40 foot burnout and then it Sounded like her car bogged um it seemed like eding the mark eight was also doing a bit of a willy whe spin halfway down the track but it seemed like he’s gripped and stayed in the right gear and it looked to me like he won but let’s Find out finish finish line finish line who won that1 and that was all she Wrote I messed up a gear I did not mess up a gear the number 11s that she’s left on the road man and they both smoke the tires off the line but the mark eight finds grip first and makes it to the line first by a few car lengths Madness you took it for the mar very solid rip at the end there that was a good one oh man that was can’t believe the number 11 I know yes sent it messed up a gear didn’t I it was all good but it looks SI so Let’s just take a look at the fastest qu Mile and 0 to 60 times achieved by the siblings during the runs using a v-buck PBT and unsurprisingly the Mark 8 proves to be the faster car covering the quar mile in just 12.88 seconds at a speed of 122 mph and drops into a joint eighth position on the front-wheel drive leaderboard the Mark 7 runs a best time of 13.22 seconds at a speed of 116 mph and drops into a joint 13th position on the leaderboard then taking a look over at the fastest 0 to 60 times achieved Once again the Mark 8 shows us small Edge over the Mark 7 hitting 60 in just 5.20 seconds and drops into 10th position on the leaderboard the Mark 7 not too far off Pace hits 60 in 5.31 seconds and drops into 15th position on the 0 to 60 frontwheel drive Leaderboard and round two goes to Ed and the mark eight Fanboys so today ends in a draw with the siblings taking one round each and Just sh in how evenly matched the two different generations of the same model turn out to be both run strong times throughout the day with Some extremely close finishes the slight weight advantage of the Mark 7 just seemed to be working in Connie’s favor on the roles helping her to take Victory and the traction control system of Ed’s Mark 8 helping him to grip sooner from a dig now we all know club sports are bred For the track and not just straight lines so today’s races are obviously only a small part of the car’s actual strengths but 90% of people who buy them will never track them anyway so now you know a massive shout out to Ed and Connie for stepping up and laying rubber for the Culture so with all things considered today let me know in the comments which one of the two cars you’d prefer to own and why and if you have enjoyed today’s races if you haven’t already make sure to hit that subscribe button
