What's up, everyone?
Welcome! It's Sunday once again. And that means: It's time for a drag race. The good news is that we have two very,
very sick cars here, guys. And the optimal weather to have perfect
conditions for the drag race. In today's duel there is the new Audi S3 and its direct rival, I'd pretty much say, the new Golf 8 R. I think that we can get ready for a sick duel. And we'll now show you the cars. Enjoy! You can look forward to a sick duel today, guys. And, of course, I need a genuine opponent on the steering wheel of the Golf R. Thus, back in full force,
well-trained and cheerful, my homie Tobias Aberle.
What's up? What's up? Ready? Yeah, man. I'm hyped for today. You're hyped? I believe that it will be a very
exciting and tight duel. You'll drive the Golf R. Yes. What's under the hood?
Explain to the audience what you have with you. I brought the blue, my very favorite color, Golf 8 R with 320 hp from a 2.0L engine. 4 cylinders. It's quite capable. It is. The funny thing about this duel is
that we both have the same engine. Atypically, the VW now has the upper hand
when it comes to power. It has 10 hp more. And it's a good car as well.
I've driven it before in a video myself. I believe that it'll be tough for me today. And I obviously know that you're on fire. What about the weight? I'm at 1551 kg. That means again that I'm heavier. Yes, heavier. I'm at 1575. At the moment, the facts are in favor
of Tobias with the VW. But that doesn't mean a thing. Yes. You never know. The race is long, right. As always, guys. 800 meters down that runway. 800 meters is our measurement. We'll record all measurements. To get a better understanding of both cars, here you go with a short overview
of the specs of today's cars.
There's not much left to say now, I believe. What do you think about the looks?
Just by standing here. What's your favorite one? Doesn't matter at all for the drag race,
but why not compare when you already have them here. I have to separate the front from the rear
on both cars because I don't like the front of the Golf as much. I prefer the Audi here
even though it could look more aggressive. But I choose the rear of the Golf all the way. The S3 is by far too dull to my taste. I have to say that I like the Golf more
the longer I look at it. The S3 is cool but the looks
aren't too exciting in general. The Golf is somehow… I don't know. I like it. The longer I look at it… I mean you had a Golf back in the day. A GTI. You've always been interested in Golfs. I had one or two Audis too. Yeah, one or two… Sick! This means for us: Let's get in, fasten our seatbelts,
do the preparations, sound check And then, it's all about the win.
To a fair duel. Good luck. We'll start up the engine, guys. I know both cars. One thing you have to say: The Audi's interior still looks
more coherent and more classy than the Golf one. I like the interior quite a lot. I didn't like the predecessors as much.
Especially the steering wheel. Super nice. As I said, it has 320 hp. I'm excited to see how I'll compete with Daniel,
him having 310 hp. Let's get the set-up over with. A good seating position: check.
Then, the settings have to be suitable. Vehicle. We'll choose Drive Select. We'll put it in Dynamic. That's correct. That's where we want to be. However, we'll now turn off the ESC completely. The engine is warmed-up. Everything's ready in here actually. Toby, how are you doing over there? I'm doing fine over here! I'm feeling good. The car is great. I believe you won't stand a chance today. I'll honestly say… My feeling is telling me
that it'll set off pretty well. It's super fun. I'll try to use as much of my talent to do the best possible launch, of course, in order to win this. Have you pushed all the buttons?
The ESC is switched off? No, I'll do that now. I just internally got in the mood
to have a great reaction time. As it is my strength. My reaction time was on point again. It was by far quicker, right? I need to demonstrate my strengths again today. This should be my biggest advantage over you.
Yeah, today's the day. He's going crazy. "Today's the day." Well, let's see. Let's do the sound check. Well. You can hear it
better than me from the outside. There's not much happening in here. That's not very sick. Do you want to go ahead
with the sound check for your car? I just did, but you apparently did not hear it. It's not looking good for you at the moment.
Let me do it now. Wait. A lot sicker. Okay, guys. Today's the day. Today, I'll destroy him. I really don't want to loose today. How do we win this? I don't know.
I can't really judge it. The facts are not in the favor of the Audi. You'll start in 5 seconds. Okay, we're ready to go. The lights are coming on. [D]: Who has the better reaction time now?
[T]: What the fuck was that? [T]: It didn't set off quickly at all! Come oooon! Come on. Pull on through! Toby has no chance. He's not coming back. Not coming back. [T]: Come on!
[D]: Or is he? [D]: It's pretty even.
[T]: It's not enough. Not enough! [D]: There's the win. There is the win
in the technically inferior car.
Not technically. That are facts! Toby, where was the good reaction time? I'm so stupid. Oh my god. The handbrake was still engaged… [D]: Nooo! The handbrake was engaged. Are you serious? Yes. It didn't want to set off. But it was on hold still… So stupid! I swear, same with me.
I realized last minute that it was still engaged. Let's do it again, then. We just had some practice. I can still show you my times. 0-100 in 4.46. Our reference measurement, 800 meters, in 19.83. I just won with this,
but we clearly need a second try. What do we have here? 0-100 in 4.38. 100-200 in 12.07. The quarter mile in 12.5
and the 800 meters time is 19.8. Something which is positive with this car is that the time to set off after letting go
of the brake isn't too long in this car. It benefits from that. You don't have the feeling that there's a gap.
A lag. This thing sets off really clean. The way it should be. Okay, second try. Another try.
The handbrake is not engaged this time.
It'll work this time. We'll start in 5 seconds. Yeees. Yes. [D]: We're even now. [T]: Come on, yes!
[D]: No! [D]: No! This is going to be my first loss on the AirBase.
[T]: Yeah! [T]: There it is! [D]: Shit, it accelerates quicker. There it is! [T]: Oh, yes!
[D]: It actually accelerates quicker. Look at that! [T]: Yes! Respect. Respect. The start felt like we were pretty even, I'd say.
But then the Golf overtakes
and runs away step by step. Good job, VW. That thing's quick. Toby, congratulations
to your very first AirBase win. How do you feel? I'm unbelievably happy. The whole team did a great job. The car was amazing. The set-up was sick. I want to thank my team,
my sponsors, my family, my girlfriend. And thanks to my fans for the years of support. I can almost not find words for it. Sick, dude! What was the time? 0-100 was sick. 4.31. I have a 4.43. And 800 meters, the AirBase time? 19.61. It's pretty close. That's only a tenth less. I have a 19.74. It was a tight race, but the Golf was better. It was tight but super sick. It surprised me how much it pressed me into my seat. It's a sick car. We'll now do a cruising, no a rolling start. Why am I always thinking of a cruising start? A rolling start.
We'll do that now. I'm also ready. We'll accelerate up to 70
and then we'll start on my signal. 3… 2… 1… Go! Come on. When you floor it,
it takes long for it to accelerate. Sooooo? I'll give that win to you. Thank you, thank you! But it was sick. Both cars were pretty even. You might blame it on the reaction time as well because I knew when I'd say go and you didn't. Thank you, Tobias. Thank you. Tobias and VW won today. Yes. Solid. Very, very sick. It was definitely at eye level. Both cars set off very well, I think. But the Golf is a little… A little more crisp. More crisp. It sounds better too. It sounds faster. It sounds faster, so it has to be faster. We definitely had two very, very nice races. One with the handbrake engaged,
one without. So dumb. Let's take a look at the scoreboard together, guys.
It'll now fill step by step. But there is of course still a lot to come, guys. A drag race every Sunday. Thanks a lot for watching. It was great fun again. Toby, see you next Sunday as lively as ever. Full attack and… See you soon. See you soon, bye. See you tomorrow..
