LIAM LAWSON Races the Gunther Werks F-26 FLAT OUT!

Hey Liam, how are you? Good to see you, I'm very good. All good? We're just having a bit of a tour around the car. Are you coming with me? I am coming with you. Oh, yeah. Am I your victim? Apparently you know this guy, right? Are you excited? I am, I am. Can I click this on you? Is that cool? Yeah, yeah. I'll just put it up here if that's alright. We're all learning right now. Right. So, Liam's driven this car actually. Okay. Yeah, a couple of months ago. Through the streets of Newport Beach. Yeah. But this is a four liter twin turbo flat fan. We were the first company to productionize flat fan on a road car. And because of the flex fuel system it has. If you have access to E85, it goes from 900 something horsepower to 1067 horsepower. And there's actually more left there that we haven't pushed. But we wanted to maintain the engine longevity because we have five year 100,000 mile warranty on these cars. It's crazy that you offer that. 100,000 mile warranty on it. On something with this much power. Better than a Toyota. Yeah, yeah. That's bonkers. And I don't know if the camera got close enough to this. It's a work of art. The engine bay is a work of art. So, these are the charge pipes. The carbon fabric charge pipes that we had. And we had so much pressure going through it. We actually exploded six different versions until we got the correct lamination. Yeah. So, everything is made in house with the exception of the engine. The cooling system is also done and designed by us. So, we do about 33% of the engine. But the entire car, steering wheel, exhaust, headlights, carbon fiber. All of that is produced in house at our Huntington Beach factory. Have you seen where the turbos are? They're like. Somewhere down here. It's in the middle now. Oh, yeah. You might have to zoom in the camera in here. But turbos are literally hiding down in the bumper. So, when you're up on it and they're glowing red. You can see it from behind. So, you've driven one. But you've driven it on the street? On the street, yeah. I'm going to jump in. Well, he's getting comfortable. I just asked the question if he's done a hill climb run here before. I've done it. I've done it in a Formula 1 car. Oh, that's easy then. That's it. No pressure at all. Caleb sent me the video yesterday of him driving. Yeah. He was pushing hard. He almost clipped my mirror. I know. So, you've got the decision to make. Do you really go for it? Or do you risk anything going wrong on video? Oh, we go for it. Yeah, we go for it. He's an F1 driver. What do you expect? No, I know. Oh, goodness me. And this is our first car with full carbon fibre doors. As you can see right here. Right. Squeeze in here. It's time to go line up. Catching the V-Box. Thank you. Sounds good. I love that you're fully suited and booted. And I'm just in shorts. No, it's good. It's good. But you've driven this exact car before, haven't you? This one. Yeah, yeah. On the streets. Although, I feel like it's so tight up this stage that I probably had more of an experience on the street. Like, I got fifth gear. Okay. I don't think we'll get fifth gear today. Wow, we'd be really moving if we got fifth gear today. They just told us we've got 18 bikes and 41 cars in front of us. Yeah, we've got a long time. So we've got a long way. But here we are. In this monster. I find it funny that you've got time. Like, they just told you it's a timed run. You've got all this pressure. I have no idea what I'm doing. I hope you know that. I know that you're obviously with me and you're putting your faith in my hands. I appreciate that a lot. I drove this on the streets of Newport Beach like six months ago. I have no idea what it's going to be like. Yeah. Well, I feel completely out of place because I'm a bit aware that they're timing you and doing media stuff with you. And I'm like, why am I sitting here? There's so many instructions. But it's super cool that the marshals help because you're running straight from this to drive your current car? Or what's next? No, RB8. Oh, whack heads. 2011. Whack heads. Okay. RB8. Really cool. So you basically have to get, we get to the top of the hill, we get like, boom, off you go. You've got to run to the next thing. I don't even know, honestly. I'm assuming so. On days like these, because it's nothing like, if it was my race weekend, I'd be probably quite stressed and everything. Yeah. It makes no difference to me. Yeah. You just let people tell you what to do. Exactly, yeah. That makes sense. I'm chilled. I'm all chilled. Otherwise, you're just going to live stressed. Every time I'm at a race track, I'm stressed. This is the one time I'm at a race track and I'm not stressed. The fact that we're in a Guntherwerks right now, does that mean you're getting a Guntherwerks? Oh. Can I ask that? No, not right now. But one day. One day. One day, I'm sure. One day I will. I would. It's funny because, you know, for me, coming here to Goodwood, this is where you have all the new supercars, all the cool cars, and obviously that's what I normally love doing. You can run around and basically do a bit of supercar shopping. Yeah. And go, like, pick out... Literally, like, all the latest and greatest, everything that you could, like, want to see is here. But I think you don't really get the opportunity to walk around like that anymore, right? I know. That's the only thing. I don't want to sound... I'm not complaining at all. No, no. It's amazing. It is incredible. It's what we have. But, yeah. I like... I will try and look around a bit today. I'll see how it goes. Yeah. I've got these bad boys. Okay. I don't know how well it does, how well it works, but it's cool. There's a lot of support here. Obviously, a lot of people that are at Silverstone are here. What an incredible weekend that was. Yeah. 600,000 people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The numbers are absolutely nuts. We're getting around towards the start. In a minute, we're going to be going, I hope. Okay, okay. I've got my lid on. We don't have Liam, though. Oh, no. Not yet. He's coming. He'll be back in a second. I'm his Asian brother. So, straight into the deep end. I know. I have absolutely no idea. So, apparently, I can do a burnout here. So, what do we do? Driving modes? We're going track mode, and then it's got some TC, I think. I'm going to keep out of your way. I mean, I have not done this in quite a bit, so I don't really know where I'm going or what I'm doing. Well, you go straight, and then there's a right. That's my hand there, isn't it? This thing is fast. So fast. It's so fast. Like, the in-gear pull is mad. I know. Once it comes on boost... We can get the AC on now, can't we? Yes, we can. It's so hot. Yeah, once it comes on boost, it's so fast. I find the pressure so intense that you just get in a car that you're not overly familiar with, and it's like, go, send it. That was incredible. It was sick. It was good. Now we have to sit here for quite a long time. Golden. So the question is if you're going to have to put this back on. No. No? Certainly talking about it. So we've got Luca in the Camaro. This is so good. I know I just asked you off-camera. I should ask you again about the pressure of something like this. Yeah, I don't know. Also, the thing that I have is, every single time I get in the race car at the moment, Which is good. Just having fun with it. I love this. You're a car guy at heart here. The whistles and the pops and the crackles. This is us in California all day just driving around. Synthelux F26 coming to Liam's garage soon. I've been honestly talking to Peter about it so much. I want one so bad. It's so good. He let me take the turbo, the orange turbo, he let me take it home for a couple of days. Oh, okay. I had it in the garage, at the house, in the garage. Yeah. When we were coming up, I was looking at it like, alright. Yeah, I know. So you just drove in? Yeah, I drove down this morning. You have an M2 still? I have a Supra. Oh, you have a Supra? Yeah, I have a Supra. I was using my mate's M2 maybe the day that I saw you, but I have a Supra. Oh yeah, I remember. We were talking about it, we were talking about it. I would have definitely talked about it, yeah. Under the famous Goodwood gantry. I'm trying to decide whether I do a donut or not. No, you don't. You get points on your race license, don't you? No, but I mean, not at Goodwood are you going to do a donut. It's just a lot of pressure. Look how many people are here. So you're hopping straight out of this and straight into RB8? Yep. That's mad. I know. It's going to be very different. What a run. Well, I recommend if you get an opportunity to go have a peruse of the supercars that are around, it's well worth the shopping. Yeah, I really want to look around. Pick some stuff out. Alright. We're in. That was mega. Thank you, Liam. No worries, mate. No worries at all. That was really awesome. Have a good time. If you don't mind, we're going to mic you just to get a quick sound bite. And then Alice is waiting for you over there. Perfect. Is there anything you want me to take over? Thanks, bro.
