      😁 this is awesome! Your favourite bit was definitely the visit to the jacket potatoes at the paddock. Your smile at that moment is unmistakable, followed very closely by the relief grinning after visiting the toilets for the tenth time 😂 let’s race! 🙌

    Cannot believe your channel hasn't hit 500k subs already - the diversity of your content outweighs so many others Mark! Pretty sure it will happen soon, especially when we pair up and show everyone what 2 petrol heads of (around) 50yrs of age can do against the youngsters on the track. Keep it going - I'm in! Best of luck :)

    I like that you're trying new types of content (like last week), but i truly love your usual videos where you're destroying something or doing something fun and i also love racing ones! It's amazing to be able to join you on your adventures and attempts in something new! Would love to join you in endurance race, but sadly it's impossible for me due to the fact i am not in the UK nor EU. Thanks for your videos one more time, wish you luck and waiting for more! Cheers to your family and friends too, it's great to see them supporting you :)

    Always creating meaningful and engaging content! I saw this series at the Ford power live event and these cars are no joke- sound cool too. I’ve never been on track unless you count Forza 6 experience. Would be amazing. You screaming into the mic at the end of the race is great!!

    Love seeing this sort of content, and would not turn down the chance of joining you in an actual endurance race, never been able to drive on a track and I have always wanted to take part in some sort of motorsport so I cant see a better opportunity than this.
    And you know that jacket potato is the best part, sounds just as good as the actual racing so that's another opportunity I cant miss that
