    This is the President of K CAR GLOBAL. So proud and happy with your Team involvements. Wonderful movie indeed comprising leadership, endless hardship and a great result at the end. Great Team effort with a splendid achievement until the chequered flag. A True caring spirit is shown here when it was merely almost impossible and miracle happens where you find true friendship suddenly appearing out of no where assisting your Team and without any hesitation. This True Spirit can ONLY be found in every K CAR GLOBAL Event. It has been and always will remain as the pinnacle of true friendship. A Family outing being togetherness aiming for one goal. Gathering of Family and Friends around the world. Hope to see you again in November 2025.

      I noticed when they featured the individual shots for everyone at the end, his wasn't a shot of him smiling right in front of the camera, it was him at the center of a team huddle. I think that was done intentionally, and you could tell there were moments when he was spearheading the efforts and just so intentional about encouraging teammates. Dude was on it, more than we've ever seen him here. Before this i thought he was more just excitable about working on hondas because he was a honda fanboy. But he just always seems to be positive and pushing ahead.

    Every Christmas you guys hit it out of the park. But…. Most years it’s cinematic, artful, glossy. This year eclipsed that. It felt so personal, emotional, and a story we all wanted to be part of. Love your work. Also, if the team at RAB don’t get a DAC DAC care package from you guys, I’ll be disappointed! Merry Christmas everyone! Looking forward to the coming year.

    Well done!! This is an amazing accomplishment. Before my father’s passing due to brain cancer, doing something like this was always a shared dream. Watching this made me emotional at times and I’m still not sure why. But in the end - it really inspired me to finish our car, and get it on the track as a tribute to my late father. Thanks guys for always putting out quality content, and inspiring people more than you will ever know. Thanks. Love you guys.

    From the team lead of a Canadian 🇨🇦 endurance racing team with a Civic EP3 with a K20A3, I really enjoyed that fellas.
    First time I'm ever giving one of these CZcams paid comments but you have well and truly earned it.
    Most teams don't need to replace head gaskets AND gearboxes in the same race. You guys had a bad shake of luck and still brought it home. We really need to pool for an Isaac and a Scotty of our own on our team.
    I said it already in another comment though, but please always wear a HANS device. I'd be sad if anything happened to any of you guys. Our car isn't much faster than your car, maybe only 80-120 bhp or so, but no one drives that car without a HANS device because it's just too dangerous. Please take care of yourselves so you can win some endurance races. Eventually the luck just shakes out your way, but you've gotta take care of yourselves to get there.

    I know this was meant to be a story about a journey to do a race, but for me, this was a beautiful story about humanity working together, helping each other, coming together even when they're in competition with each other. Seeing all the other teams jump at the chance to help you finish, I needed this. I needed to see there's still compassion out there from complete strangers. This was beautiful. There was sadness. There was anxiety. There was relief. There was joy. There was love. This, is MightyCarMods. Thank you.

      That's endurance racing. Check 24h Nürburgring, in the middle of the night, a car comes in with damage, you can often see other mechanics help because their cars are already out or they're not worried about it at the moment. Love the endurance racing teams! It's all about "let's make it to the end, let's finnish at all."

    This movie “Racing Midnight” was solid gold. The teamwork, epic pit rebuilds and total commitment was so good.
    I’m an obstetrician / gynaecologist in Northern Sydney. I've always had an interest in cars. Because of your fantastic show, I have taken on many car projects myself.
    - full 1962 Morris Mini restoration
    - Full MR2 - SW20 rebuild and engine swap
    - 80 series landcruiser rebuild
    - 1968 Land-rover full nut and bolt rebuild.
    Thanks for being so inspirational.

    Two things I love about this. First, it's obvious you weren't there to win but just to participate in something so amazing, and to make sure you got across the finish line, so the whole team got to have a go, and no egos got in the way of enjoying the competition. Second, the spirit of the other teams coming to help without being asked or expecting anything in return. This is true sportsmanship and in a world of growing corporate greed and a win at all costs mentality, it's wonderful to see there ARE true sportsmen (and sportswomen) left in the world.
