Hello and welcome to
Signal 2 Signal presented by Acko Insurance where we race cars & motorcycles head to head
in a drag race I don't know if that makes sense, but yeah.
I am not going to try that for sure because that would be extremely funny.
But you know what, this episode, this episode is different, which is probably why he's being
different or whatever.
In this episode, we've done things or the cars rather slightly different to what we
normally race.
Not just the car but the motorcycle as well because these aren't commuter vehicles, these
are production ready rockets.
Let's race. Meet me at the signal. Pull a wheelie.
Let's talk about the GTR, I mean, where should we start?
In India it's the most powerful car in the AMG GT lineup that you can buy considering
the Black isn't here yet.
It's extremely hardcore, you know, it's track focused.
So honestly, the only reason why we picked the Busa against the GTR was because those
were the two fastest vehicles...
no, you just want to ride the Busa more that's, that's the reason.
Okay, fair, I wanted to ride the Busa more, but everybody knows how legendary the Busa
is and... add IBW.
No.
But you know what, everybody has Busa memories because obviously at least us in India have
seen as horrible as it is, the Dhoom, and...ey, don't talk anything about Dhoom okay, very close to my heart.
I'll slap you.
You dare not say anything about Ali, I'm telling you.
But, you know, nonetheless, it is a legendary motorcycle, I'm not taking anything away from it.
Yeah, so I remember lining it up for the very first race and I, I honestly had butterflies
in my stomach because up until that moment, we were racing with small vehicles, I mean,
they're the fast yes, but at the end of the day a Busa is a Busa so...
well I think you should just watch the race.
Yeah, we should, ideally yeah.
First race.
Halfway through the race, I looked in the mirror and I saw the GTR quite some distance
back in the past rather.
What happened?
You slowed down.
Oh you were coming?
Yeah!
I thought you had a launch problem.
I mean, look, you won by a margin, but you didn't pull off the throttle.
You know what happened?
He saw you so far behind in the mirror that he thought that that maybe we don't have a launch.
I know, I had full race start and everything.
So I let go, I let Cyrus come close to me and as soon as he was coming close to me,
I got in, thottle again, finish the, did the 400 metre run.
But you know with machine's doing such unholy things.
You're probably better off with good insurance, you know where to get going with this right?
Now in the case of an accident, the consumer has to answer multiple questions to the insurance
provider to claim a settlement.
And that's why Acko Insurance insist that you call them directly so that they can handle
everything end to end and just make everything hassle free like a hassle free experience.
As hassle free as a Hayabusa beating a GTR.
Seriously?
You know what, just give them a call and they'll actually come and pick up your car and get
it repaired and deliver it back within three working days.
That's how cool they are, that's how fast they are and that's why they are presenting
this season of Signal 2 Signal.
In race two I decided to be a little more brave and launch the Hayabusa at level two
of launch control and here's how it went.
The Hayabusa
Ladies and gentlemen, is fast as ****. Ladies and gentlemen, I've never said it ever before
neither did I ever think that I will ever say it but here we it on PowerDrift first,
when it comes to the trails, I think it doesn't get any better than riding and when it comes to
riding on a Busa, it doesn't get any better than Mr. Varun Painter.
See that, you see that on my face?
I'm trying to say a particular phrase but I'm, I can't say that phrase on the internet.
No, you can say it, the editor will edit it.
I can't say it because, had my b*** in my mouth, is not something I can say on the internet.
Actually b*** are not in the mouth, they were here somewhere and I know there're a lot of
beeps in this, but trust me, I was genuinely scared because not only was it really wet
out there, and it was scary launching that car hard, this time, by the way didn't launch
it in, in like race car, I manually launched it and was faster getting off the line in manual.
Yeah, honestly, I had the same feeling but I was not as as scared as Cyrus Dhabar, I
knew launch control, traction control all of that was taking care of me, so I just went
full gas but who won, Cyrus?
The Busa won, there's no way.
That's it episode ends.
Thank you so much for watching, bye.
Nonetheless, that Busa is fast, there is no way a GTR even in the dry can actually keep
up with that because at the end of the day, it is much much faster.
This time I did not roll off the throttle, I just wanted to set like a really nice time
and what you see on the screens.
And that then is the end of an iconic race and now I shall do my best Paul Walker impersonation.
Dude, I almost had you.
That's Bald Walker not Paul Walker, but anyway, thank you so much for watching this episode
of Acko Insurance presents, Signal 2 Signal and we'll be back, we shall be back right?
Yeah, family.
With family?
Family.
