The F1 used to be terrible but I understand they have improved things considerably in recent years

It's at least the third in as many days.

Zero to do with me!

That’s worrying. Is this a new user trying to trick folk into thinking it’s you?

It needs to be reported. Impersonating another user is against the forum rules.

I have been to a couple of shows in the past where the exact same thing happened - complete breakdown of organisation and planning.

The overall impression I got was that Mallory Park simply isn't suitable for this kind of event - I don't think I would go back to one there.

retro rides hosts a event at mallory park its always well organised so it can be done

You do get the impression with this Alex chap that he's in a big rush to take the world over. Setting up on his own and then setting up this production house arrangement with other creators then a show on top of it. All with no experience of running a business. These guys need to chill out and just make sure you're doing one bit properly first then move onto the next thing. Having the ability to do YouTube doesn't necessarily translate into being good at business outside YouTube.

Unfortunately what happens is that you just make a hash of everything by spreading yourself too thinly and in the case of this show it ends up hurting your brand. Looks to be a bit of a Fyre festival scenario where they just expected the thing to happen without meticulously planning for it. There's widespread demands for refunds. It could wipe him out the from this.

The comments on this latest IG post suggest they really messed up

Petrolheadism are claiming there was an accident that clogged things up.

Perhaps it was just too many people for the stewards to get parked quickly.

The comments make grim reading. Would be an absolute nightmare with kids in tow.

I got bored scrolling trying to find anyone saying anything positive. Even those that got in were pretty damning. The only positive comments are from other "influencers", it seems.

I'm surprised Alex hasn't mentioned anything about it, he's always been very good and down to earth with talking to his fans and audience so surprised it's not even been acknowledged.

Allegedly 11k tickets for Shedfest sold at £17.50. What does Mallory Park cost to hire, £25k? So despite being a fk up it's still £££££

I have reported the one, I don't know if there are anymore.

Who’s going to Shedfest on Saturday? It was great last year, really looking forward to it. Need to sort a drip tray for the punto though.

I’ve got a ticket(bought it when they first went live) however I’m now torn as to whether to bother or not. Not sure what I was expecting when it was announced…. It looks a bit lacking tbh. :/

It looks fking awful, TBH.

Mark McCann talking about "making it on youtube"? Easy - start with a couple of million of daddy's money, buy a load of cars, and then the rest is easy.

AdamC: "Stand outside a car show and film a load of chavs leaving."

As for "sheds" - half of the "stars" don't know the meaning of the word. Alex running around in a 993, McCann in some Lamborghini, etc.

I'll subscribe to TDC etc and enhance Alex's wallet that way, but I would rather shoot myself in the balls than go to that event.

I didn't go.
I Spent the day enjoying my wife's company while seeing some of the south's finest driving roads in my little car

It Sounds like those who did go had fun.

A brilliant watch for a Sunday evening!

I've enjoyed this mini-series. Will watch this before the F1 kicks off.

Honestly, I'm staggered at the type of person who makes a 4+ hour journey just for the chance of seeing someone off youtube in the flesh. Who are these people?

Episode 1 kept referring to a brand new car but this is clearly 3 years old. Wonder what that's all about? Ex demo, or pre-reg'd and unsold?

Seems to be punting it off to Petrol Hedonism. I assume they were the underlying organizers?

No doubt or they’ll then blame Mallory or someone else.

He explained it several times. It's a pre-production car which can never be sold, and must be scrapped. It's 'brand new' insofar as it's barely been used since registration.

All vehicles used for R&D have to be destroyed so their cost can be written off under tax. I spent a couple of days with Landrover in 2000 and they showed me a large car park full of everything they made waiting to be destroyed. Brand new RangeRover that were used to test windscreen wipers. Scrap.

I’m guessing this car park is where they keep them today. It was many times bigger when I was there.

Tavarish has posted a video on his second channel about his pimp my ride mini van. I think it’s interesting when Freddie posts videos with Jarred in.

On YouTube, they parted ways amicably. In reality Jarred said he could no longer work with Freddie due to not being aligned with his morality off camera. This was because Jarred disagreed with one person Freddie dated post divorce as she was engaged to another man. It’s also why there is a divide between YouTubers.
