Exclusive Hypercar Rally Experience in Italy

I've been invited to the world's most exclusive hypercar rally but I have a problem I don't know if my Zenvo is going to make it in time we're 1,500 M away from home in the south of Italy to join Supercar owners Circle an Invitational Gathering of the finest cars on the planet everything begins tomorrow but firstly all of the cars must arrive and be ready in the grid for the launch event tonight having set off from the UK yesterday morning toad in the new Brian James rt7 with an msrt Ranger the boys have been cracking on but time is running tight for them to get the shme mobile here on time Meanwhile we're going to be heading over in my AMG GT Black Series and once we've arrived I want to see set myself a challenge if I can find a ride in a hypercar that's already there today at S so hi guys I'm shme hello and welcome back to the channel let's do this let's head over to Supercar owner Circle later today we're going to be surrounded by kig eggs Bugattis Pagan every single incredible car that you can think of will be taking part Inc the lineup is phenomenal it's now my fourth time attending the Supercar owner Circle weekend the first was with my McLaren CNA racing down the runway in Switzerland as we were surrounded by the mountains then after taking delivery of my Zeno tsrs we joined the weekend in Croatia in Zagreb I was chasing the Bugatti laaa Noir and some of the other amazing hyper cars last year we took my Ford GT with its crazy WAP design and equipped with a ski box on the top for a Voyage to the south of Spain this time around though we're here in the puya region in Italy we're going to be heading over shortly to the grid having driven all the way with the AMG GT Black Series very much the shile that we use for the longdistance tracks and we have a few other things planned as well but the Zenvo is being trans reported there have been some holdups and delays some nasty weather along the way a diversion across the mountains and the guys are perhaps going to be pushed for time but let's see if they can make it we'll need to catch up with them shortly because I'm a little bit anxious I'm not going to lie and the car really needs to get here come and check this out you won't believe the mileage of this car the AMG GT Black Series that has traveled around the world is now touching 55,000 km this thing is used as intended as it should be and it sounds amazing I am excited for this one it's about the cars it's about the places it's about the people and later on we're going to be joined by a former Formula 1 driver as well there's a lot to go and see it's not too far from where we've stopped on our way down first little challenge is to escape through this Narrow Path out here always moments that make you winse when you're in a low wide Supercar like this but the Journey Begins as we make our way to the S so grid don't ask where we are right now the tiniest of Roads crawling through somewhere in the puya region of Italy with a car that it's safe to say is a little bit dirty bug Splats are plenty all over the wind screen which we thankfully are going to have somebody on hand to help tidy up a little bit later on the question is are we all going to be there on time let's give Brad a call then while we're driving down towards the Sea The View here is stunning breathtaking Brad can you hear me how's it going hey Tim how's things it's all good our end but the big question fingers cross is how your journey is looking so far pretty good OB started yesterday it was a very long day cross the Euro tunnel down through France got to Switzerland where we were greeted by a closed tunnel so we ended up doing a mountain pass with the truck and trailer in the fog which was very sketchy had a very short night sleep and we're now making sort of the long slog down through Italy we've had an ason Martin Valor fly past us which I assume is coming to so um and we're hopefully going to make it on time tonight well I mean it sounds eventful mountain passes in the dark is not a deal but uh Sunset is the deadline we've got the launch event do you think you'll be there it looks promising the ETA is looking pretty good at the moment but because we're Towing we're going slower than everyone else so we have to add on like an extra hour or two bit of leway so it might be tight but we're going to try our best our fingers and toes across that hopefully we make it for Sunset well keep us updated it sounds like it should be good we're nearly there and uh I'll share some pictures of what it looks like we'll see you later amazing see you in a bit it sounds good from the call so yeah everything crossed but let's get to the hotel and check out this grid you can tell you're arriving in the right place when you have a lot of people waiting unsurprisingly because this is one of the best Gatherings of these kinds of cars that you can ever see so it draws people from far and wide to come and check it all out this is going to be the entrance and I actually came here 6 years or so ago for a Ferrari media event but it's good to be back we'll go straight on in and figure out what we're doing I'm just waiting because I know when we go kind of around one of the corners maybe it's to the left here we're going to have crazy cars everywhere wait for this we'll go through I don't remember the layout at all but we're going to go in there and it's going to be nuts now we're talking I see Valor Spiker I see the arz S1 some 911s singer Carrera GT oh okay okay okay oh the nuran we're going to check that out as well right oh yeah t50 Z yeah we'll get inside wow wow look at that on the left Carrera GT 918 confiden only P pilatti F40 K XS of Plenty we go past on my right the ason Martin Valor the Bugattis are up here this is insane on the left here that rira Loki next to it is viman the yesco another yesco kig eggs everywhere on my right is a Chiron casual this is absolutely crazy we've got Green Goblin here the agira S cool to see that here couple of others up here like the GT TS and a mercy SV as well this is my kind of event already and not everything is here yet it goes on look up here on the left is that a GT2 I think it's a gt12 next to a DBS GT3 touring por sangu wow these are cool the guys have brought them over from Kuwait the event is literally going global makes coming from the UK seem relatively easy in comparison Switzerland for each of the astons that's a DBS 770 ultimate as well which in some ways is kind of right at home with the GT2 what a paint color as well this changes as you walk around it that's lovely not only that paint color but the beige Alcantara and Green Tinted carbon that is a very unusual configuration quick one that's actually a 911 St to quote Jeremy Clarkson they do all kind of look the same this is with the Heritage style Livery on the new St we've been in to get registered get the wristbands come back outside and there's already another kig zag you'd be forgiven for thinking this was something like a KAG owner tour because there are literally currently nine of them and there might even be more to come and then on the opposite side all of these gaps later on are going to be filled with cars there's a delara tucked in right here more Bugattis to come more Pagan to come loads more other supercars to come it's not a bad start really is it I definitely want to take a better look at this a little bit later on the nuran just heard a Stato pulling up behind us here very suitable for the kind of location we are actually right at the second as you can see up here a lot of cars are getting ready in a moment to head out for a drive but we're here also with air how are you good it's good to be out here in the sunshine yeah I'm looking forward to going on a drive it's been a while since I've driven the car it's an absolute monster I saw this car when you were out in well the Ghost Squadron tour yeah and the dolomites that's the last time I drove the car and you're ready to enjoy the week ahead yeah I am we're actually going on a drive night if you'd like to join us I'm not going to say no my my challenge today was to jump into a hyper car you take that box straight away perfect jump in not just anything yes go attack have you done some good miles with this already uh I've driven it twice before on the ghost tour and a super car owner Circle event in London so not much so still kind of learning it the green carbon with the metallic orange is it orange is it bronze uh Mandarin orange is what they call it mandarin orange looks beautiful and um yeah sounds the part as well and because you can hey you can never say no to how that works absolutely beautiful the auto skin on the car X oh the interior is nice well speced did you work on this for a long time um no went out for the day and I I knew what I what I wanted in my head and was pretty quick to visualize it yeah and it all just came together the start up is Mega does it still make you jump when you started I've got quite used to it it's such a sharp quick like I don't know how to describe it feels more like a super bike engine than a car engine but we'll get some AC running and in a minute or two I think we'll be going I almost didn't see it an sp3 pulled in that's actually quite a red view right now sp3 Z t50 F40 408 Pista competiion I love daytoner sp3 absolutely love it it's got to be said as well that paintwork in the sunshine here that is glorious multi-layer red presumably Roso magma over the blue electric Alcantara of the Interior launch specification colors but so totally suiting the car I actually think the cgt might even be leading the charge um everybody's pretty much geared up oh that sounds good Next Level cars yep I heard an egg start over there right let's go hop in with them here right round we come let's clamber into here jump into the yesco this is the cool moment where you just press the magic button I love that it's too cool for school right we're in looks like it's time to go what do we have the agira at the front ccxr we've got AC blasting I apologize for that but it is 30 something degrees uh what else do we have another ccxr cgt I think the chiron's joining as well yeah this is what it's about hey hypercars in the sun getting everybody together going out for a drive I'm hoping at the moment that at some point after we get back my car's going to be here as well at the moment it's that kind of is it going to make it yours obviously pulled in last night day before last night oh loads of Time Around Midnight you planned that one lots of time to spare well my sunglasses went flying off my head my sunglasses have gone flying somewhere I've recovered them the acceleration is brutal absolutely brutal what on Earth this is a mad machine I know and this is on2 octane pump cats no 100 octane pump cats just reg not even ethanol not even the fully 85 go crazy mode and it's already like that oh my days what on Earth is this this is absolutely absurd the bangs and cracks as well when you lift off sounds amazing i' I've never driven anything that rivs this hard I've got a career GT which rivs very Loosely as well for sure you drove that a couple of years ago on S so I remember and just a casual view up ahead of a bunch of insane cars that wasn't a bad first half to our Drive no hyper cars Galore oh what a day incredible absolutely incredible now we just press the button again too cool too cool right let's hop out and go take a look at all of this the craziness of this drive and then to close it you just press the button under here door closes back down what can I [Music] say so starting in style I don't actually even know where that plate is from I think it's a dealer in Dubai well it is a dealer in Dubai but I don't know where the place is registered cars coming in from around the world couple from Germany spider RS that's schar 150 business manager sh 15's new car which is very cool that's also very cool love the wrap on the cgt look at this okay going to come back through here sound of the ccxr another ccxr that's C okay then all right yeah and we get this is where I just cling on for dear life something like that but the good news is I have an update on my car more on that surely for the moment though we are still very much enjoying this experience convoying with the eggs ridiculous and we roll it's hot it's sunny but that was epic that was really really good fun Got to Now navigate through this hotel maze back to the car park in everything rolls I'm kind of wondering if there's anything new since we left right now but certainly quite a few more cars still to arrive here fill in the missing spaces this must be the Aston Martin Valor that Brad mentioned earlier having freshly arrived after it's drive down from Switzerland very nice these guys have been out as well 918's back for sangu is back this is just Madness basically everyone enjoying the moments before it all gets even crazier confet I love that these cars have come from so far away to be part of this here then we have the naron arriving there's a lot to find out about this going to part the two together and then take a look around them obviously we've got the yesco right there and this tucking in the Gold Leaf painted details that you can see all around it sounds pretty good I know very little at this stage there's a lot I want to ask about this car what I can tell you right now is there definitely a V8 in there sounds good batti Chiron Super Sport rolling through look at that with the distinct Livery I'm not sure I've ever seen it in that combination very very nice e600 on the plate being delivered to the grid here cars everywhere let's take a look at this then you have literally built your dream car it really is my dream car so it's the Narin it's it's a GT3 race car that we've made that's road legal um but a 2 plus two so four seater is quite unique it's actually quite unique as what I'm going to call a hyper GT right cuz you think of hyper cars you think of Mid Engine stuff but I know I can speak for myself but I think also you as well something about the engine up front yeah so it's front mid engine so still should handle like a mid engine car but aesthetically I think a long front end looks better it's my personal preference and um yeah I I also prefer the driving dynamics of front engine rear wheel drive cars so you you do currently race a GT3 car I'm racing the Mercedes AMG GT in the international GT open okay so I can imagine that's been a little kind of factor or or the other way around almost the reason you drive that car right yeah the reason I drive that car is because it's front engine I planned on driving McLaren drove drove it for One race and then switched back to front engine car so talk a little bit about this the design of it it's completely bespoke completely bespoke the exterior styling is done by wind design who did the poo iie and the damazo mhm um the chassis development was ey3 because they developed GT2 race cars and also um when we started the project they had the the lap record around the nurburg ring which is a testament to good handling so him's using them I mean the nober ring is the the definitive place when it comes to that the design of it is is strong like it's a muscular looking thing big wing on the back probably the world's largest exhaust tail pip most probably and you have these very large clams as well this whole rear is is one piece effectively the rear is one piece and so is the front end okay can we take a look inside as well pop around and have a quick nosy at the interior of this because it's literally four- seater I'll let you open the uh it has four independent bucket seats all with four point harnesses oh literally your passengers in the back have effectively full carbon buckets like up front well they're getting taken along in a proper race car so should be secure so that's the idea it everything again completely your own right yeah everything's our own um and no screens or anything to detract from the Driving Experience it's all very focused just digital dashboard the squirkle which again is clearly racing inspired for the steering wheel yes and what's the story with all the designs and detailing um well every car is very very customized but this this particular one um the interior was hand embroidered by the London School of Fashion and those are all feathers um Bas because of our um our emblem the Zimbabwean and Fish Eagle okay cool how incredible is this the almost Village that we have this is where the entertainment is going to be this evening but the reason we have come out is that the transporter is about to arrive the zenver is here so let's go and get it unloaded what's coming around the corner here oh yeah casual Carrera GT love it it's funny timing because right now all of the cars seem to be going out for photo shoots enjoying the time of day getting those Sunset shots this is quite an unusual design first time I've really spent time around it to be honest look away for a second and look what pulls in a Pagani Utopia Utopia beautiful I think this is the very car that I have driven must be from the factory very nice well look who's here welcome Gentlemen We Made It Before Sunset by quite a bit of time we've done well you've had a very very quick Journey what do you think of the setup the rig is cool it's so good now we're going to have to get this around the corner at the end so uh let's hope nothing comes and gets in the way in the meantime with the rt7 that was loaded up back at home obviously first time for me seeing this cuz I'd already left the country with the GT Black Series but we'll figure out how to take this round and uh go get it unloaded I've not seen this then rt7 I've got a remote FP where everything is basically electronic and hydraulic so you press another the button and it will start tilt oh and it tilts it just like that that's cool that's very easy it's quite szy isn't it it's quite fancy it's almost like the lazy way of doing it which is the best way and what then when it's tilted you can press another button opens tailgate that will open down and your car should hopefully be inside nice that's cool that's actually really cool big thank you to Brian James trailers who kindly provided the rt7 for this journey down here it is ready to be unloaded that's just too smooth simple as that and race ramps are straight up in here that is insanely smooth there's lighting all on which isn't on at the moment there's just it has everything you could want winch storage Tire Rack it's a good bit of kit do we need to get one I think I think we need get that's what you're telling me here unlock it and then magic I like this I feel like we spent our whole lives around the RT 6s the previous generation yeah and this is all new know how it works but there's just so much extra These are nice these side markers when you indicate yeah yeah side markers mounting points oh we've got the spare wheel and tire rack as well up front if it was needed this is looking good it's second s so well it's time to unload so let's hear it start up [Music] yeah the rumble I love it it's about to touchdown in Italy it's a long old way from home trying to Rack my brains if the car has been to Italy before but I don't actually think it has Denmark Germany Croatia Belgium England of course Scotland but I think it's the first time for coming here as it comes on out just before Sunset we couldn't have done that better cuz I'll come through and just pull the mirror so that Brad has the view of that and we have touchdown wonderful brilliant job I got to say Brad and Owen who joined him photographer extraordinaire have done a very nice job of that talk to us about the ranger then Brad this thing is honestly brilliant I love it and being msrt it obviously has the wide body package the wheels 40 mil lowering kit it's it's got like the full shebang pretty much every single part of this is new bumpers Wings rear Wings the spoilers on the rear the roof are quite fun and obviously a super nice interior too um bed cover all electronic fun little graphic here the M Ranger driving away from Offroad because this is the ultimate Street Truck not the ultimate off-road truck but yeah rolling bed Auto it's just so cool it's clean super cool lovely interior ridiculously comfortable the um the seats which are going to be the same seats as in the new Transit which at some point we should know more about What's happen with that it's just it's just incredible I can't really say much more other than you're a happy bunny side steps yeah automatic yeah I love this thing well the fun thing is that we're now here with the zembo with all of the other cars but we're going to go straight round and effectively out of here to go see everybody outside and to go do some photos with this because we are at a sweet spot of the time of day to grab some shots of this car this far away from home 1 and a half thousand miles it's made it that's the first step it's what comes next that's going to be even better I tell you what everybody who is here has braved a lot of heat and being very patient today and I suppose it's Justified to get some shots of the cars this is so cool we're also following the rt7 and the msrt ranger now basically to go somewhere where we can drop off the trailer during the event but this has all gone to plan I can't believe it's gone so much to plan I've managed to hop into the yesco With A Mir we've checked out the narn and now the demo arrived in time we're beside the sea the sun is yet to completely set it could not be better this is absolutely perfect right now over the moon what a day look who's arriving where we are right now Zeno Z 760 my very nice I don't think it's loud enough Mike okay I'll the make a new exhaust yes next time we'll do a full well it definitely flamed it definitely flamed this is it then we drive in to the Grid in time for darkness that oh there's an amg1 here hadn't even spotted that coming in so the amg1 has snuck on by it's now part next to the t50 this is that question of is there anything else that's crept in not at the moment but clearly there are more cars to come and we're going to park next to the very similar colored rera today has gone about as perfectly as it could have done we got to check out all of the cars here including the naron with air jumped in with him in the yes go attack there are hyper cars super cars incredible cars are plenty all around us of course we made it in the AMG GT Black Series and to top it off we also have the Zeno here the guys made it all the way in time as the tdf is parking up alongside us couldn't really have asked for it to go better and this is the start this was rals day of Supercar owners Circle weekend here in puya and you see the cars around this isn't all of them this isn't even everything it's going to get started in style so stay tuned that's it for now though big thanks to Amir for joining us earlier big thanks to you guys for watching as always I'll see you again very soon cheers
