  • Paul and Tiff get behind the wheel of possibly the most unique road cars ever built; the BAC Mono from Briggs Automotive Company. With race car looks and hyper car performance, this single-seater supercar certainly ticks all the right boxes on paper. Driving a duo of Monos into the hills of Wales, before really seeing what they can do on track at the incredible Anglesey circuit.
    Thanks to the whole team at BAC and for more check them out here: www.bac-mono.com/

      You've found your niche with unusual and different content, and the credibility Tiff brings - there are a gazzillion channels for AMG, RS, M Sport, Lambo's, McLaren's, Pagani's, Bugatti's et al. Whilst there is no dispute that they are all fabulous cars, it's content like this that I absolutely love.

  • @GranDaddo

      I've not heard from Tiff in quite a while. This bit is really well done!! Is he a regular on this channel? He has always (with a bit a entertaining theatrics occasionally) presented an accurate, informative road test, regardless of who he was reporting for. Tiff is always worth watching... even if the car might be questionable. ;^)

    I kept thinking, what if a car in front sends a huge rock right in the BAC's face. I would hesitate to drive it on motorways however short of distance.

    • @lovecarsTV
      @lovecarsTV  Před 5 lety +16

      You’re right. Think anything other than around town should be with a helmet 👍

    • @20spray1
      @20spray1 Před 5 lety +6

      Its kind of like riding a motorcycle without a helmet

    • @MrGaryGG48
      @MrGaryGG48 Před 4 lety +1

      Much like a motorcycle, never drive it without some sort of effective eye protection! Not to say that a helmet isn't an excellent idea; much more comfortable and much easier to pay attention to your driving. As fast as that little bugger is, I'd want to pay attention!!

  • @nearlyagoodlaugh
    @nearlyagoodlaugh Před 5 lety +1

    I've been a huge fan of the Mono since I first saw it, watched and read everything I could find about the company and development of the car. It's also one of the absolute best cars to drive in various driving sims, which I guess is a pretty accurate representation. Clicked immediately when I saw this video go up because I knew your channel would do it justice with great quality content as usual.

    • @lovecarsTV
      @lovecarsTV  Před 5 lety

    • @fraserwright9482
      @fraserwright9482 Před 5 lety

      The ownership isn't quite as pleasurable. They shake themselves to bits, not a problem for a race car you strip between races, but it evolves into a Morgan. Bare carbon undertray looks good but damages easily, go for a wrap or painted. There is no warranty and spare parts are embargoed by BAC so even though you could buy them directly from the supplier such as joints, springs, brake rotors etc as you would for any Formula Ford/Audi or single seater they won't sell them, not because they are bespoke, but BAC forbids the suppliers selling to owners. So basically they charge Ferrari prices for Ford parts and you have to get them from Liverpool rather than your countries supplier.

    I think they should have a retractable windscreen that you can push down (to where it is at 8:41) and can pull up so it's sticking up enough to provide realistic protection from wind/bugs without needing a helmet.

    This and the LaFerrari are not exactly competing with one another

      Hi, thanks for the comment. For sure but they’re both about driving pleasure. It was a very basic example. Do you need to spend 10x the money to get a less exciting experience. It’s all very subjective of course 👍

      You're right... the Mono beat the P1 by 4.9 seconds around this same track and the P1 beat the LaFerrari in a shootout (in which Tiff drove). In other words, they aren't competing with one another because the BAC Mono out-performs the LaFerrari by a long shot.

    Doesn't the p1 have dry power to weight of 647 and 593 kerb weight bhp per tonne
