I noticed the BMW's all struggled many taking shrubbery with them but the VW beetles weren't phased one bit and made it look like a stroll in the park! 😎👍😯
@@code_sculptor straight up. It’s like when the snow flies and people spin wheels at full speed from stop signs. Is that how you walk on ice? Just a full out sprint from standing?
Beetles are rear engine, which means the driving wheels always have weight on them to keep them grounded, AND they dont need to push opposing weight uphill.
Don't miss that Devonshire mud, apart from driving in it of course. But now found out what true off roading is after moving out to Australia. But that was with a ton of spray rig on the back chasing invasive species around in the Snowie Mountains.
The best way to describe it is ...bit like Green lanening...although GL is done on RUPPs...this is more a combination of road and private property... But oh, what great fun..even just as a spectator.. You can find information about simply by asking through videos...l did.. 👍👍👍👍
No matter what, it's great to see people get off their arses and have mad and healthy fun like this. No doubt the EU would disapprove...and have it banned.. What a load of bllks😳 This is quite harmless...and if anything, brings people together...and that is a good thing. So please keep posting excellent videos like this....please..most enjoyable I'm in Spain...they can't do anything like that...really..twits they have more free space than the UK...heyho that's life..😄👍👍👍
Used to be able to use them, maybe even into the '80s (someone correct me on the date if I am wrong), but they were banned by the governing body due to sections being ripped up too much. Everyone is in the same boat so it doesn't really matter, the event holders would only have to make the hills more difficult to climb anyway if people were finding it too easy.
Jiri, you are only allowed road summer tyres to compete, a rule introduced into the sport decades ago to stop the sections being ripped up. An extra few inches clearance can often make the difference between a fail and a clear.
Just wait 6 more years and this will be in the recommended of millions more people, I swear
2 years later i'm here
Its already happening
bro, im an american, and this aint shiz, look up rock crawling, thats what me and my family do
@@cfoofsecks5188 damn bro i wish i could be you bro you are sooo cool bro damn
@@lorsdoboordor9215 thx
Tho old bugs are always cool under pressure. Made for a bit of terrain.
That rear engine traction👌🏼

Rear engine
those bmws are quite annoying!
Wonder if the ASC+T of the Bimmers (traction control) was required to be switched off? 🤔
@@norbiesison9257 must be yea
Beetles are perfect for this due to the weight of the engine and two spare wheels over the driven wheels
All the cars struggling to go up the hill at redline. Meanwhile beetles glide up with no problem at 2000 rpm.
Paraphrasing IT support's words spoken about some of their customers, problem lies between the wheel and the seat.

@@EricLS funny analogy, +1

I am so confused!
The first BMW I saw supercharged and lifted 2 feet took me by surprise, then there where two more!
Only the z3 was sc
I'm wondering if that's the sound of a bmw power steering pump on its last leg.
@@apancher the z3 (e36/7) was supercharged, probably a downing atlanta. The others, def not
@@apancher actually, rewatching, the burgundy e30 is sc as well. I had a supercharged 318i m42. That sound is distinct
It’s kinda interesting how all the rear engined cars made it quite easily, like the bugs.
more weight in the back over the tires = more traction
Beemers be like: Speed and power!
Beetles be like: Get out of the way!
I had the exact same thought. jezza up front cpatian slow at the back
also JC: "speed and power doesn t work"
3:39 cameraman gets 120 damage.
Meanwhile, the guy in the beetle is wondering why he's never seen this many cars on his way to work before.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA
found this by accident. what series/class are these? so i know what key word to use when searching for more~
Car trials,look up Exeter and Lands End trials especially Simms hill
@@gurtsmunta1 thank you 😊
Not gonna lie, I love watching trials on youtube just to see the old Beetles schooling everyone 🤣
Came upon this vid totally randomly. Does this event still exist?
Sure does, the Torbay Trial has already been held this year, but there are plenty of other events, check out the ACTC website calendar
DUDE, Lmao!
Lifted nation over here. This is the first time I've seen BMW be so far from the ground. 😯
smoother is faster thats why that beetle embarrassed all of them,
Pinging off the rev limiter and rotatin them tires that fast will get you no where.
that and the fact that beetles are rear engined. That gives them much better traction due to weight distribution.
Спасибо, великолепное видео!
Ok now I really want a Baja bug.
No Citroën 2CV, that's curious, these cars are really good in off-road
Not enough power
@@williamaldridge1013 yeah, probably
yeah normally there are a few in trials
@@williamaldridge1013 Well who cares about power when that thing is light as it gets?
The early 2CVs were made similar to the Willy's MB suspension wise, some even had a hitch to plow fields
I think i just found my new favourite motorsport
Don't miss that Devonshire mud, apart from driving in it of course. But now found out what true off roading is after moving out to Australia. But that was with a ton of spray rig on the back chasing invasive species around in the Snowie Mountains.
The motorsport equivalent of throwing a toddler into a ball pit.
@@c33j4y6 yea!
Why are you so upset
@@-l-l3187 he’s not
@@DAZUNIVERSALINDUSTREIS then why does he have a problem with it
@@-l-l3187 he doesnt why do you think he has a problem with it?
Hello to people who got this recommended after 9 years
And somehow, people think that showing up to a Cars and Coffee in a $3MM garage queen is more interesting than this... 😂😂😂😂
That smart is so cool 😎😎😎
I am surprised at how well the old bugs do off road. I guess it's because they are so light weight
Ever heard of a Baja Bug? Those things are legendary off road racers from Baja to Dakar👍👍
Engine in the back makes all the difference.
Lightweight and all rear with plenty of torque.
Engine over the back and two spare wheels for traction
3:07 ＭＩＡＴＡ
Cute miata lol
Safari modeló 80s y el bochito 🚘 🇲🇽👍
Says something about the old VW. 👍🏻🇦🇺😁
They're shit
redmr2na for this type of event they do better than other bits of modern crap!
Vw rule
yeah, that they have a diffrent weight distribution due to being rear engine
It's kind of what happens when you have most of your weight over the rear tires on wet ground
These guys are true legends
Haha respect to all of those people trying to make a beemer do something it isn't supposed to do!
This is just so awesome, I swear 😂🔥
i think the beetle is the perfect car ever made
Old beetles acting like it’s a walk in the park. Love it.
3:04 here you go
Those home lift kits are fantastic.
No idead how I came to find this video, but super entertaining anyways! What kinda racing is this???
The best way to describe it is ...bit like Green lanening...although GL is done on RUPPs...this is more a combination of road and private property...
But oh, what great fun..even just as a spectator..
You can find information about simply by asking through videos...l did..
👍👍👍👍
It’s trialing
You can really see the kubbelwagen ness in the beetle
cool...
Kooky... Beetle proves itself yet again!
That lifted bmw is so weird
The lack of understanding throttle control here is amazing.
Much more fun to full throttle dirt burnout up a hill tho
Awesome looks really fun
Is having shitty street tires part of the challenge? You can lift your BMW all you want, not gonna give you better traction.
Yes. Only standard road tyres are allowed. No all terrains or even winter tyres.
What tires are these guys typically running? Highway tires, All Terrains?
They all appear to be running bald garbage tires and saving their traction tires for ballast!
@@veritasadamantinus They kind of look like vintage, bias ply tires.
@@veritasadamantinus may be due to the event rules, they maybe aren’t allowed to run knobby tires
@@reidthompson8979 i think theres a chance of it becoming "too" easy
The BMWs sound like Rc cars
Was this also in your recommended?
3:45 smooth af
So its part of the rule book to bring the wrong tires for the right situations?
Would Loved to see a samurai on the course
Vw beetle do it at idle in 2nd gear, bmws fail at 7000rpm in 1st gear.
Why are they all cars? Just the category or ?
I'm in the southern US and I daily a Mazda 6 that was built for this. Lift and mud tires
Lot's of supercharged 4 cyl BMWs?
Mantap bang .. salam dari depok..😁🙏👍
Bonjour je vue plusieurs video de se type je comprend pas ?
Si quelqu'un peut m'aider svp
What kind of tyres are used ? Regular all season ?
Why are they all stopping when they're up the hill? If I'm being honest this looks easier than what it is.
Where abouts in the bay is this? I need this in my life!
What's the category for this how does one race at these events
Nothing is impossible for the good old VW bug.
Is there a lift kit to get bmws that lifted?
that rear engine really helps the beetles
La première voiture est une smart roadster fabriqué à Hambach France , là où sera fabriqué le Grenadier ineos .
What part of torbay is this held
Looks like Marldon way to me Jamie
@@chucky2316 thanku didnt know this race existed i thought it was the king George area of torbay
@@jamiemacdonald9030 I don't know exactly where it is I'm Paignton could be king George area
what is this ?? the highest contest ??
i just want to know what the hell that suspension is on the BMW's.
The beetle has more traction due to the weight distribution on the back...
are the first 3 series and the z3 supercharged?
Anybody got a Hillman Imp with some off road tyres...?
The beetles just enjoying their life
what is this hole on the top ?
I live in Torbay
What do you want a fucking medal?
Wow! How super awesomely coolio dude!!
@@BananaGrundle chill out
@@pintoescort chill out
The rear engine rwd bugs ate it up
Fusca é Fusca Pai
Se comparta muy bien el vocho para esto
I like how the beetles clear this effortlessly
No matter what, it's great to see people get off their arses and have mad and healthy fun like this.

I don’t understand this. Were conventional, competent off road vehicles not allowed?
Probably not but the next few cars shaped like lotus 7s are beasts off-roading surprisingly
4wd isn’t aloud in most trialing events
Why the creepy tyres with no grip at all...
Is all of England just grass covered hills?
Yep. Every bit of it, it's luuuushhhh.
Speed and power doesn’t solve all!
Rear engines rule
Top
Damn i should go out with my dad more often
Anyone know what car that is at 2:01?
It's a Reliant Scimitar SS1, they can be picked up quite cheaply and made to be very competitive in their class.
@@pipinhispop thanks! I seem to recall a top gear gag about that car. I'm going to have to look into it a bit
T’arrive avec un Audi 4 roue motrice avec des bonne grosse roue à crampons tes le boss
What was the first car?
Smart Coupe Roadster
I bet a citroen 2cv would have no issues
Nossa meu Deus
is that a Top Gear or wth is going on?
They should try a Renault 4
x90s are so cool
exactly what i was thinking
Hi, what car is at 2:44???
Thanks
Porsche 944
Why they take theire dog to this event!?
literally i just click to see the video bc i saw a miata offroading lmao
Where in torbay
Offroad tires? Never heard of em'.

Lifted like 4 meters but on road summer tires... WhatTF point of this
Jiri, you are only allowed road summer tyres to compete, a rule introduced into the sport decades ago to stop the sections being ripped up. An extra few inches clearance can often make the difference between a fail and a clear.
@@pipinhispop Aaah, make sense now, sorry. I guess every modification is good in this when everyone have summer tires
Do the e36, e36/7 drivers not understand that those cars have maximum torque in 3rd?
i thought this said tomboy trial and i dont know why but i love this nonetheless
How the fuck are the bmws getting up the hill just fine but getting stuck on the only flat part there is?
