Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-14

[00:00:00]Well, we'll see when when I come back in 2 hours time and go like nobody's going close to the cutoff time. Then we'll start unbolting stuff off the car.

[00:00:07]>> [laughter] >> Seat.

[00:00:09]Dashboard. Back bumper off.

[00:00:13]The drag coefficient of this motor vehicle. I swear it will go faster if the back bumper falls off by close to a second. Pull it off.

[00:00:22]No, but I don't know how you can clip it. Don't pull it off.

[00:00:26]I can clip it off. Okay.

[00:00:29]I am I am positive. I'm taking the filler cap off because it doesn't open wide enough for the the filler plug to go in. You know what I'm talking about.

[00:00:39]Let's go.

[00:00:40]>> [laughter] >> Weight reduction.

[00:00:43]>> [music] [music] >> As I'm seeing all these cars here, I'm so wanting to ride myself. So, normally what happens is some of the out of town guys or the newbies hit the magnet coming out of turn three.

[00:01:03]Um so, that's going to happen. It's imminent. It's it's must happen. It will happen.

[00:01:08]Um somebody is bound to blow a head gasket or put it in the wrong gear. And then it will all settle down. And about 1:00, I think these guys do qualifying. It's literally for like 3 hours everybody tries to get on that cutoff, which is silly because it's an endurance race, but it's part of the fun.

[00:01:24]And tomorrow these guys are going to go run around for 9 hours and it's supposed to rain tomorrow night, which is going to again put all the newbies in trouble.

[00:01:33]And also what I what I think is always very funny, but that's like a new team thing is that they don't have enough headlights. They always got like covered downlights as headlights. So, yeah, we'll see when it gets dark, you'll see the guys start getting lost.

[00:01:47]So, yeah, that's what's going to happen.

[00:01:49]When I'm walking around here, I'm like I wonder if I tell Caleb to put another fuel tank, how long it will take.

[00:01:55]No, I don't know. Aluminum tank? Yeah, the big one. It's there on the top.

[00:01:59]It's on top. You fits onto the chassis rails. We just put it on.

[00:02:03]40 Well, they think so fast you just coming in the water.

[00:02:08]Are you putting a tank in that white beam or what?

[00:02:11]I don't know.

[00:02:12]Let's see what that tall man says. I'll do it.

[00:02:15]I'm sure you will. I'll never say no.

[00:02:18]I like a challenge.

[00:02:20]Hello lemons, and now if you need to install a fuel tank into a car.

[00:02:24]I'm burning.

[00:02:26]Just to be honest, and I know obviously I like this lemons event, but I was hoping to do it on my own like the whole 9 hours.

[00:02:34]And it's 20 grand to enter. They all I'm don't have it on record, but it's like 20 grand to enter. It's probably 20 grand worth of fuel. I have to go buy tires. So, it turns into like a 60 grand weekend. So, obviously if you're sharing the drive with four other people it's 15 grand, and then it could be a big laugh and a lot of fun. But, the reality is I'll rather at this point spend 60 grand putting the blue beam going.

[00:02:54]And you know, my factory dirt bike team.

[00:03:00]Look, it doesn't seem like he he wants to, but I mean if you scratch hard enough he might just. No, it's probably a better better idea to be an adult at the moment. It's so bad being an adult.

[00:03:10]So, [ __ ] boring, but you have to act.

[00:03:12]I mean I do have a overdraft in my business for a reason.

[00:03:14]>> LET'S DO IT. NOW, GO. [laughter] They bought different size tires back and No, not back and front. They bought different size tires by accident, and we didn't know that. So, we just randomly fitted it on and now there's old decision being made around 10 mil of tire wear.

[00:03:39]How's it guys? Matt here again.

[00:03:42]Um Yeah, I'm here with the the green E36.

[00:03:47]We're here at the lemons event for the 9 hours. It's my father, my brother, and I, my father's friend competing.

[00:03:57]And yeah, it's just to have a chilled fun time with some family and some friends.

[00:04:04]Yeah, looking forward to >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Okay, so the day is over for the Le Mans practice and qualifying. All our customers are very happy.

[00:05:14]Um they all did very well.

[00:05:16]The nature of Le Mans is that everybody gets 2 hours to qualifying and lap times and it's the best lap time for qualifying is very close.

[00:05:23]It doesn't really matter as long as you're in the top 10. Both our cars are in the top 10. We're just doing final little bolts and nuts check. Andrew is just changing out the rubber coupling on the prop shaft here.

[00:05:33]As we saw it, probably you know, you can see the cracks in it and stuff. It's just We're just touching everything, feeling everything, everything that can break off or vibrate off, put a cable tie around it, little rubber gasket, whatever, just to make sure it's going to run for 9 hours as best as we can obviously.

[00:05:50]The Polo also did really well. The Polo actually did 205 in the back straight which shows you it's quite probably overpowered. But yeah, they're having a great time. The customers are also very happy. They say the car's completely transformed in the 2 weeks it was with us. So yeah, it's great to hear that and tomorrow everybody's going to have a lot of fun and obviously also run around helping a lot of the guys just getting cars running and out of town guys needing help and doing our best to make the sport as good as we can make it. So yeah.
