Apparently WTF1 did an Internet's Best Reactions of the Bahrain GP. I didn't know they did it, and after 88k views they've canned IBR.



P1 did a Funny Tweets video after the race, 265k views.

If I had the means to afford a PS then I think I'd also be able to afford a second parking space, so no need for a One Car Solution.
I would be surprised if buyers have less than 3 cars

I like watching the American youtubers to get a different take on things.

But most of them seem to take pride in driving manuals really unsmoothly as if banging gears hard and stepping off the clutch is the 'proper' 'enthusiast's' way of driving. I also find it annoying when they knock manuals into neutral and aggressively shake the stick back and forth way before they come to a stop.
Yeah, that really grates my gears!!

You realise it's all scripted and they are playing pastiche caricatures of themselves, right?

He would probably say he's the expert at being that also

That irritates me to no end. No idea why they do it. Zero.

What's funny is these type of people are the same lecturing others that ''you're shifting wrong'' on any manual video on the internet.

I think it's just the way they're taught to drive manuals over there, using only the brakes to slow to a stop without any engine braking. And they're wrong.

I suspect the issue that they aren't taught to drive manual, so just make it up as they go along or pick up bad habits from others who haven't been taught certain 'rules' like we do when we're 17.

Whistlin' Diesel is 'doing numbers' with his latest vid, 1.4M views in 9 hours is pretty good going by any standard. The Tesla/EV fan boys won't like it.

And Cleetus has his new engine shoe horned into his El Camino, that thing looks tasty.

Doesn’t usual fall into the vlogger category but the latest Hoonigan video is a 1 hour vlog of Brian picking up an old Audi. Very low key but I loved it!

I was watching that, but it cut off halfway through. Annoyingly.

The tree house he stayed at was cool.

Does huge numbers, but I can't get my head around wrecking perfectly decent cars for the sake of views, whether that's a Tesla or a Ferrari.

If you own a car, you can do what you want with it. The world will still turn.

A staggering revelation, thank you.

Turning world or not, it just seems silly and wasteful.
