TL;DR – A Nissan NV200 and a Maserati GranTurismo S were caught on camera racing one another along the KJE. However, the race did not go as one would have expected.

The Maserati GranTurismo S is a beautiful car.

It’s a 4.7L car housing a V8 engine that pushes 400+ horsepower.

We’re talking 0 to 100km/hr in about 4 seconds!

But yet, in this 47-second video, you can see how it loses to a Nissan NV200 (a van).

What happened?

The first thing that comes to mind after watching the video is a quote from Vin Diesel in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise.

The video starts as how you would expect it to go.

The GranTurismo speeds ahead of the NV200.

But the forward thinking NV200 driver takes advantage of an empty pocket of space on the first lane and barrels forward.

Meanwhile, the GranTurismo got stuck behind slower vehicles on the left.

I think it's taken out of context. There's traffic or cars all around. How to drive fast? Did the van get a trophy? Does it make the van driver a cham? Then it is all about a moment of ego satisfaction. Song meh?

More importantly is usually not how fast you can drive but how fast you take to stop!…

I think otherwise though...me think the maser was planning to exit in any case...conventionally sedan cars would always intuitively chiong rightmost lane but he didnt...

Come on...the driver of the maser had absolutely no need to prove himself in front of this van driver..

    Manchester United have once again signalled a restart with the sacking of Ten Hag, and just days later, announced the appointment of Ruben Amorim, who will join midway through the first half of the current season from Sporting Lisbon.

    Hard Enduro: The ultimate motorsport?

    I enjoy motorsports of all kinds - four wheels good, two wheels better. And while watching them on TV (okay let's be honest Youtube, who even watches TV nowadays) is fun, getting to partake in anything even remotely resembling it, even in a highly truncated, totally superficial manner, is even more exciting.  Earlier this year, I did a short 2.5 day off-road riding 'tour', and it was easily the hardest, most physically demanding 2.5 days I've ever spent on a motorbike. It really gives you a

    Building a racing-themed watch!

    This. This watch dial is the reason I started on this particular watch build... It all began when I came across someone's build that utilised the same dial - prior to this, I did not even know of the existence of a Walter Wolf Racing branded watch or dial. If you don't have any idea who or what Walter Wolf Racing is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia: "Walter Wolf Racing was a Formula One constructor active from 1977 to 1979, which won the first race the team entered.
