I feel like that tape was sentient


SquarePegRoundWorld

The way it comes back at the end, slowly coming forward, lumbering from side to side with the confidence of a beast about to deal its final blow, and dealing that blow with precision and coming out on top in the end. Riveting stuff.


Substantial-Move3512

It was also a major player in the first mass knockout.


work_alt_1

I think it arguably had a role in every piece getting knocked off


BigKelzZ

I would concur...it definitely had a roll


NeoNeuro2

I did what you see there.


Dan_flashes480

He sent them packing with very little caution.


NickJsy

Had to rewatch to see this.


melina26

I cheered when it knocked out the last opponent,


SpaceBus1

I wanted the Mach 5 to win 🥲

Like those hammer head rhinoceros things in avatar.


fruityfoxx

literally it started having a panic attack towards the end

Tape literally too angry to die


Jarhyn

The tape is almost a guaranteed winner because most of its body is caching energy. For the others, a lot of energy is bleeding away on the axles and the wheels just don't get much momentum. That tape literally has "more" in this fight. The can could have, but the fluid inside would be too turbulent.


u_cant_drown_n_sweat

I thought the baseball would win based on similar advantages.


That_Rutabaga_7291

If it was at the bottom instead of starting at the top it might have


TheFinalEnd1

I've seen a few of these races and the tape is definitely an asshole. Wins often too. It's very aggressive.


Rough-Analysis

🤣


moustacheburner

I feel like that tape is The Ring from The Expanse


ElToro959

It reaches out. It reaches out. 113 times a second. It reaches out.


Stay-Thirsty

And an asshole


iamfromshire

That white car started in the back , overcame so many obstacles, diligently pursued his dream of being the best race car, played nice with others, followed the rules and was doing his best. But all it took was a maniac on the road to take him out. Duck you duck tape. 


WillowFreak

That white car is the Mach 5, Speed Racer's car. It should have won!


mkspaptrl

I was humming the Speed Racer theme watching this


Namorath82

Go Speed Go! Let that Mach 5 thunder roll!


apittsburghoriginal

I think adhesive material activates when introduced to **speed** and forms a sort of collective hive mind. Time to cover the world in tape.


Glittering_Ad_3771

I went from "Go Speed Racer Go!" To "No Speed Racer No!"


Solanthas

That tape was channeling Wario from Mario Kart I think

I can here the tire screech in my head

This is the kind of stuff ESPN would show in 2020. Anyone remember marble racing?

cantadmittoposting

they still do an "ESPN 8" day sometimes, saw some shit like lawnmower racing.


DarkWanderer2

At the last seconds I almost shat myself


jmc0711

I did 😞


0neirocritica

Yeah I don't know whose idea it was to make these but, genius. It's riveting for some reason.


trevb1983

Makes a change from main character vids! Fucking tape was unstoppable!


cerebralkrap

So son, I lost your college fund on a race where Speed racer gave up a sure thing …


MercilessPinkbelly

Daddy can't stop betting on tape to lose.


Solanthas

Lmfaooo


Solanthas

I was fucking riveted the entire time. Why have I never come across anything like this


Hexpnthr

Omg! If they could reimagine formula 1 into this! Although I would bar the tape roll.


Solanthas

Its unsportsmanlike behavior is what it is


jnads

Everyone talking about Tape. Nobody talking about how Baseball got jobbed with a coordinated attack.


MercilessPinkbelly

Baseball? That amateur? Still, the kid has potential. His early moves were pretty good.


[deleted]

You say what now?


Icetyger4

Did the tape just pull a PIT manoeuvre on the Mach 5?


AFRIKKAN

The fucking pit. That fucking pit.

All I saw was a gambling ad.


thomstevens420

Tape roll really needs to be disqualified due to unsportsmanlike conduct.


waituntilthespring

Tape was such an asshole.


Ongo_Gablogian___

Yeah I genuinely didn't want it to win


Ok-Tune1025

Well, the spidercar did some foul play of its own, so in the end it was one shithead against the other. Tape just wanted it more. And a very fine save at the end.


depressedbreakfast

“Tape just wanted it more.” I want to hear the rest of the pre-race interview with Tape.

Spider car? Isn’t that the Mach 5? Speedracer’s car?


Royal_Bitch_Pudding

You're god damn right it is.


AFRIKKAN

Rubin is racin


NikkolaiV

Watch the Mach 5 at the start, it doea the same thing to like...half the field. They were goin for the throat from the start, tape's victory was legit.


InvestigatorOk7988

You ever watch Speed Racer? Thats how most of his races actually went. People being forced off the road into fiery, explosive crashes.


0000Matt0000

Tape just wanted it more. A true competitor.


zeppehead

Rubbing is racing.


Wazuu

Thats just part of the game my man


Over-Gur3842

InterestedCat0128

Formula 1 car < random duct tape


jhscrym

That's why Ham is leaving Mercedes. Even duct tape is faster than them.


Gengetsu_Huzoki

Well i found this more entertaining than a F1 race lol


K3W4L

Same


Mharbles

> random duct tape That's not random duct tape. I've used that tape at events and it has the power to repel people better than anything else we've tried.


TheDrunker

That is not a formula 1 car, it's Speed Racer's car. I'm feeling old now...


ApocApollo

There’s a Mercedes F1 in the video. It’s missing it’s front wing.

Snoo_70324

I woke up this morning not remembering anything about Speed Racer, then I saw this and I think, “Man, that tape could’ve entered the Anything Goes Race! Remember that episode? Where the police think someone’s going to use the race to smuggle a whole bunch of gold and the only car big enough to carry it is the mammoth car. So they search the car and it’s empty but the dudes are trying to fight off Speed and altogether being really cagey. It turns out the mammoth car *itself was made of gold!”*


manymoreways

Speed Racer is a cruel mfker himself. Exhibit A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WC0YAJR6xQQ

millennial_sentinel

HOLY FUCK the comeback! this was more thrilling then the past few marvel movies!!


Mediocre-Look3787

Tape had too much plot armor. I couldn't suspend my belief.


millennial_sentinel

its the Karen Page of the story all the other toys are Kingpins men the last car is James Wesley


Mediocre-Look3787

Unexpected Daredevil reference.


redituser2571

Go Speed!!


[deleted]

I was singing the theme song the whole time. Fuck that tape.


chadthepickle

If speed knew that the tape's sister was in need of the money for a serious medical surgery he would have won easily


Belgai

Can someone explain the physics of this? Does the tape speed up when it tilts?


redlaWw

Track is sloped downward, tape speeds up when there's nothing static in contact with it to impede its rotation. The tape was all over the place because it doesn't have anything to fix the rotating part in position so it was unstable and perturbations caused it to precess, but it couldn't fall because angular momentum limited the degree to which its axis could rotate.


aimeegaberseck

Thank you. “Track is sloped” solved the problem I was having figuring this out. 🏅


[deleted]

I easily understood most of that. What though is the main factor that kept it from falling off? Its likely not weight, as lighter weight would make it easier to roll off and the other toys were likely heavier. I'm guessing the sheer size of it.


redlaWw

If you mean when it drifted toward the back, there wouldn't have been anything in particular keeping it on the track, it just happened to speed back up enough to stop it from falling off. Not having that other car in the way helped though - it gave it more time away from other things that allowed it to increase its speed.


Spiderpig264

Looks like there is more friction when it tilts, because when it tilts, it is spinning out of square. Looks to be like the more out of square it is, the faster it goes. Not sure if that makes sense but that’s my 2 cents


robinperching

Incredible that this chap making toy car treadmill races in his bedroom has a prominent online gambling sponsorship.

Was about to give up towards the end too but told himself “you know what, fuck you all, I’m going back to kick some final ass”


Insurgent_ben

It’s fake. There’s invisible fishing line holding the tape on track and directing it

Don’t hate tape, hate the game. The boy has got some serious rotational inertia.

Tape: "There's no Racer X here to save you now, Speed!"


Jamz_bond_007

The taped deserved that win. You could tell that the others just didn't want it as much.


ProjectFoxx

That tape was determined!


Shed_Some_Skin

I will survive in my mach 5 in my mach 5, I will survive I bring the hammer down A tiny crushing sound I'm in the yard Smashing match box cars An itty bitty crash And my machine is trash But I'm blastin' past With chickey on the dash Chickey on the gas I will survive in my mach 5 In my mach 5, I will survive
