  • ALMS!

    i prefer the racing, prototypes, tracks, drivers, and cars.

    /2 cents

  • LOEB FTW!

    Anyway, just found this channel. Glad you cover some rally. It is underrated for Americans.

  • hey leo, is chevy making an official camaro gt3 spec to compete internationally or is it just going to be individual companies doing it themselves and selling it, if not does or will chevy give any engineering support? btw is there anything special at the houston auto show; i am going sunday.

  • @greeber18  Saw that car last year. Was / is private team doing the development. Do not think Chevy involve. Feels like Matech / Doran Ford GT programs. Done on own vs factory.

  • are you guys going to be going to the wrc in mexico? its probably the closest its going to get to the america. i wanted to take i road trip to it with my friend but relised its 3600miles and a 60 hour round trip from florida.

  • Sick football still. in the beginning there.

  • Loser has to go with Alex Roy on his next road trip

  • GA vs AMLS: AMLS has lost it's entertainment value for me. Weak car fields, the euro teams don't really come visit any more. I think the series is stale. What does it's technology provide for the average race fan? not entertainment. Grand Am has huge fields, lots of close racing action and besides the DP cars, most of the cars "LOOK" like something you can can buy from a dealer, lots of different brands so I can root for my team. and some of the winning drivers are AMERICAN.

  • @LeoParente Hey if you set your DVR.. WRC coverage is on Velocity (was Discovery HD Theater). It's on Sat or Sun morning when it is on. It's a few weeks late, but at least you get to see more of what happened in the Rally (and name pronunciation, LOL) .. Before that I got coverage on bit-torrent because it wasn't even available in the US.

  • As usual Derek D. will be on the losing end of the Super Bowl. GO PATRIOTS !!!!. The Rolex series seems to be full of rich boy drivers who figure they have to win the race in the 1st hour, not 24 hours later. Some slow GT car allays takes out a leading Rolex Protoye car. Hope it's different this yeat.

  • I love Prius tshirt every show for 1 hour of show time. Al'so, why isn't FLD on drive. Your sets are so close, Derek grabbed his hat of of his desk on FLD while in Shakedown.

  • Your scripting is noticeable, when your TelePrompter changes pages. You need a continuous scrolling setup.

  • LMAO @ LEO and DEREK!!!

    LEO will be wearing an "I love the Prius" t-shirt on the Shakedown episode that follows the Superbowl because the GIANTS are going to WHOOP DAT ASS!!

    BIG BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEE!!!!!!

  • The loser has to drive and electric car for a week! haha lolz!

  • Yeah Leo go pats great show. Where are you from in mass? Also I think that the looser should have to wear some form of the other teams merchandise on every show for a month that is visible to the audience.

  • @cdc9906 Born in Milford [Italian, right?] a bit in Springfield, grew up in Natick, went to BC, so last stop was Boston......

  • Good job Leo. Nice video.

  • Grand-Am vs AMLS/FIA vs ACO. The world of sports car racing would better if there was just one set of rules for the manufactures to build to. Different sanctioning bodies is cool but one set of rules to put FIA, ACO, Grand-Am, AMLS, SuperGT and V8 Supercar would be a huge step forward for all parties.

  • I miss the old Shakedown music from FLD

  • The winner (while wearing a FULL uniform, pads, helmet, etc.) gets to full-speed, open field tackle the loser during one of their respective broadcasts.

    I enjoy watching ALMS so much more than Grand-Am Rolex races. Like others have said, the cars just seem to be "real cars". Being an M3 owner, I also like to follow the factory BMW Motorsports team slightly more than Turner. Turner's driver lineup for the 24 looks pretty good though, watch out for Boris!!

  • Sponsorship is cash flowing into motorsport. Better to have the money at Le Mans than some irrelevent publicity stunt.

  • Grand am is the more "start up" style racing where it does seem a bit more grassroots and all while the ALMS is much more "grown up" and more competitive I think. And I take the entire day(s) off to watch the 2 biggest races of the ALMS, Sebring and LeMans. And I stay up through the entire thing, last year's 24, best one in over 10 years!!!

  • You guys should put your hair on the line for the bet, it'd be funny seeing either one bald. Half of head bald (including any facial hair)???

  • brady is not the best quarterback.

  • atta way leo reppin the patriots!!

  • You can tell Leo hasn't watched WRC at least in a few years by the way he pronounces Jari-Matti Latvala. He completely butchered the guy's name.

  • @bdub232 lat-vala Said it too 'mericun.  Follow, but don't have access to watch. Sorry on name calling.

  • I love both ALMS and Grand Am series,the only important ALMS races I wouldnt want to miss are the 12hrs of Sebring and lemans 24,but I watch all Grand Am races. While ALMS is about fancy cars and pseudo recycled techlonogies; Grand AM is about real racing. Carbon fibre chassis, Diesel powerplant, turbocharged engines etc are as old as motor racing itself, and you find them in some road going cars;so what technologies are we talking about when referring to ALMS ,it's all marketing BS.

  • Actually Leo, the Mini WRC took 3rd in WRC Germany last year. Also VW enters the WRC in 2013 not 2014.

  • @DZoneMotorsportTV Yes, but sentence tried to say 1st Monte Carlo podium since..... Been getting the years wrong all week. I blame Spinelli from his last week's show when the 2013 /14 mess up began!

  • Regarding Grand AM and ALMS, as a fan, I don't really see much of a difference... I just want to see the two series consolidated so we can see more different types of cars racing one another!

  • It is very frustrating when the brands completely miss the point like lotus is doing by putting their logo on a car that they didn't build, because it seems like the manufacturers that we look up to so much are completely out of touch with what is actually cool. The lotus brand is cool right now, yes, but unless they continue to 'walk the walk' by racing their own creations, it won't be for very long.

  • ALMS has way better racing and race cars. Grand am is all Chip Ganassi racing wins again. however I still like it and am going to be in Daytona and Sebring this year.

  • Haha leo, such a legend

  • Comment removed

  • ALMS for sure...

  • The great debat: Grand Am vs ALMS. If you like racing, Grand Am all day. If you worship technology; than the ALMS is your ticket. I prefer Grand Am, but enjoy thd ALMS as well. See you in Daytona Leo!

  • Leo.for president

  • There is a Pussy energy drink. I think that would be suited for the Busch bros.

  • ALMS>Grand-Am. ALMS=real cars, Grand-Am=tube frame with body shells. GTO.R=Camaro.R Ugh...DPs are slow. ALMS GT pole sitters would be mid field in DP. The Corvette DP is not a Corvette at all, just a body kit that will fit any existing DP chassis. Tech transfer? I think not.

  • Loser has to go to every New York Yankees home game.

  • Leo, you talked about re-branding In my opinion there is nothing wrong with this. You do realize that Ford's winning GT40 at Le Mans was just a re-branded Lola, don't you?

  • family guy, brian's costume with he sings peanut butter jelly time.

  • loser goes bald

  • Hey Leo, thanks for showing some NASCAR news. I know it gets a bazillion hater comments, even from you, but you can't ignore the second most popular motorsport series in the world. I love all forms of motorsport and Shakedown is an awesome way for me to catch up on anything I missed. Thanks for the hard work, it doesn't go unnoticed!!

  • The looser should shave his head bald and wear a pink dress, sorry Leo.

  • Leo - Great stuff! I really love getting this type of insider racing news. Could you also follow the leaderboard for SCCA this year? Either way this is an excellent episode of Shakedown!

  • i wish ALMS was all season, imagine the sports cars on the snow

  • i wish NASCAR would actually be what they sold on Monday

  • derek if you loose you should be on the blue screen, and vice versa?

  • Whoever lose should do the road trip show in a bad car such as the old Kia Rio.

  • Not much of a WRC fan Leo? It's Petter Solberg, not Peter...

  • @jumpy9 Yeah, and it gets MORE ugly. I actually typed it correctly. Then, when ripping through spell check, let it get 'fixed'....But, am NOT enough of a WRC follower to remember [under pressure] that Peter should be Petter. But know Solberg wasn't Solsburg! Ugh and sorry.

  • @LeoParente Happens to the best of us. Great work btw, long time fld viewer, and love the new channel!

  • Bet a car mod. If one wins. The loser was to pay a mod to the winners car.

  • GO GIANTS

  • 0:56 DAT ASS

  • How about if Derek wins, he runs over Alex Roy. If Leo wins, he runs over Alex Roy in a supercar... Either way, we win!!

  • Please leave Fast Lane Daily out of Drive

  • If only Trans-Am and Can-Am were still around we could maybe see some good racing on TV

  • Rebadged racecar makes no sense, works only with non enthusiasts, but non enthusiasts don't care about lotus, and don't even know about morgan. About alms - grand am, i followed alms in the recent past, but.... is all a car rules\categories matter, and we just need unified world categories. A lot of different ones so we can actually have different championships for real, not slightly different copies of the same thing. batteries would have made worst cars like 917K or 512S ? i don't think so.

  • If the Giants win, Leo has to wear that hat... sideways!

  • lets get serious now, alms all the way!

  • Leo is just so brilliant with everything!

  • gahhhhhhhhhh I cant wait till Grand am, nascar, and F1 to get started back up Ive been having withdraws

  • ALMS is a brand unto itself. Anything in ALMS is immediately 20% better. Grand-Am is barely known or understood even among fans and race nerds, even then the cars in that series are the same cars in ALMS, except the DPs, which only helps the more popular.

    Trans-Am was the "common man's" racing series, the cars didn't cost a fortune and you didn't have to be hyper-rich do to it, before it became nothing but rolling museum pieces.

  • REALLY glad you mentioned that rally channel, they deserve it, great stuff

  • Thanks for the WRC coverage.

  • zomg hes a pats fan... i love you

  • ALMS vs Grand Am = ALMS Unquestionably

    Patriots vs Giants = Close but I reckon Giants will come out on top

  • Why ALMS doesn't work is that they combine politics and sport, which alienates the fans.

    I believe politics should stay out of music and sports.

  • @LW9960 Politics should stay out of, music, sports, and politics. Back to racing, Definitely politics needs to stay out of racing. Plus the sport of racing has been boiled so far down into a business, it is not nearly as much fun or progressive as it used to be.

  • The way you say Latvala makes me laugh.

  • Leo should get a tattoo of Derek D's face. and Derek D should get a tattoo of Mitt Romney.

  • Who ever loses both of you should switch hosting shows for a day.

  • Fuck the Giants!! 

  • HEEEEEYABBOUTTIT!!!!

  • HAIR MATCH LOSER SHAVES HIS HEAD (maybe not bald) BUT SHAVES LOSER SHAVES LOSER SHAVES

    

  • I don't watch Football, I prefer the World Rally.

  • Is that really how you're suppose to pronounce Jari Matti Latvala? All the WRC british announcers say it in a much different way.

  • I think because ALMS is all about technology and has gone green, that I prefer that series, as to me that makes them relevant. As more and more wars are fought over oil, there needs to be a shift in how we think, and ALMS can help there. 

  • GO PATRIOTS YEAH!!

  • I hear a shaved head coming on.

  • Thanks for mentioning the bestofrallylive channel, looks like it'll be the latest addition to my list of subscriptions, there's also one called 24lemanslive that looks worth checking out

  • we may not have dick energy drink but we have pussy energy drink

  • WHAT DOES JF HAVE TO DO WITH THE BET ?!

  • Lotus puts more effort into making people think that they are doing big things than actually doing stuff..

  • I concur. JF should shave his head!

  • i very much enjoy this show but the fluidity isn't there.

  • I just wish Touring Cars were more popular. The high-tech cars are interesting, but they're the furthest thing from what I'll EVER drive, where TCs are more realistic to the everyday driver. Also, every brand looks too alike in high-tech cars (F1, Super V8, NASCAR) where TCs are able to be identified by frame alone. Touring Cars are more fun to watch too! More contact aggressive driving; it's exciting to watch! I hope more people will come to love TCs! Go Chevy and ford in WTCC 2012!

  • @Jeredin13 It's a good point. The vehicles are immediately identifiable based on chassis. Harder for the viewer to relate to F1/NASCAR. But both those respective brands have their mass appeal and glamour-factor.

  • Priceless episode as usual Leo.

    The typical bet is to make the loser wear the winning team's jersey. Your twist could be to make the loser shoot an episode wearing it.

  • is it me or is this video dark ? no light ?

  • lose sits in the middle of the winners home end at the next home game in the losers shirt next season go Pats!

  • If leo wins, Derek needs to present FLD for a week in a suit. Id Derek wins, leo needs to present all his segments dressed as a guido.

  • @touge242 better yet. Act like The Situation

  • loser has to do a full recap of the game on there show, imho.

  • If i hear another american complain about the gas prices.. just, DONT. gas is 55% more expensive in europe than in the US.

  • @bb3xhrhj Yeah but we have crap for public transport and have to commute large distances to work and shop and have to pay for our own health insurance.  You have access to a vast array of fuel efficient cars that we can not get also. It's all relative. Also any increase in our gas prices is a harder hit because it's a larger percentage of the overall cost. Our gas prices have doubled in last 6 years while Britain's has increased by more like 1/3

  • I liked how if you can't show footage, you can direct us sheep as to where to see it.

    On the football bet:Loser has to chauffeur the winner around the city on a filmed tour of all the sights to see in NYC.

  • Comment removed

  • The super bowl bet should be. If the Giants win JF should have to shave his head. And if the Patriots win JF should have to shave his head. Thanks for talking WRC!

  • my opinion on lotus and Morgan. its cheap and bad. they should use their own hardware or at least be honest on what they use.

  • ND Gel on the windows? Thank you haha!

  • I liked this one, WRC stuff is good. But we don't want sports, few people outside the US know what you're talking about and I didn't sign up for a sports show anyway.

  • More driving and less talk would be better.

  • Like the show. You guys need to go find a Paul King narrated WRC video and learn how to pronounce all the drivers names though. Also you need some kind of official office edict on how to pronounce Citroen. Either the Frenchy way or English way but everyone making up their own interplolation is a little maddening.

  • the looser has to drive a car in to the sea...or a pool or something.

  • @abdulelahqutub Lol retard. WRC isn't pure American.

  • @abdulelahqutub I'm guessing you're the only one who disliked the video. This is a car show and he did talk about cars. It was only after the show was over they talked about sports, SO YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WATCH THAT BIT. So can I get a thumps up people if you like american football!

  • @abdulelahqutub Americans do - mostly Americans watch this show

  • The rally was Jari Matti Latvala's rally to win. I know the French robot is almost unbeatable on sealed surfaces...But JML was showing amazing pace! Leo, love shakedown but the names of our beloved WRC drivers are getting shit on. PETTER? ----> PET-HER Solberg. I know its not a big deal but the Eurosport guys destroyed every drivers name! All is well. Solberg showed us what he can do with a proper backing team. This year will be the year that LOEB falls. Cheers!

  • @541oregon I know they didn't have much time to prepare but the Eurosport coverage really sucked. I gave up after the 3rd day because it was painfully boring. North One's coverage was a little stale creatively but at least it was competent. Last years live coverage of the power stages was great on ESPN UK and will sorely be missed this year.

  • @jeep6242 Agreed. But the coverage was set up on super short notice(day 1 didn't even have the real commentator). Its not even for sure yet Eurosport will get the job permanantly. So fingers crossed it will get much much better.

  • loser wears woman's style jersey.

    Go Giants.

    Brady can wear his uggs all the way back to foxborough.

  • Loser has to pay for the winner's gas for 1 month; let's make this beat hurt someone's wallet and pride since these gas prices are getting crazier by the day. Haha!!!

  • Nice Nice.. get Leo a monitor tho so he doesn't have to turn around and away from his mic

  • I hate both teams but I think if Pats win Derek should have to say "Go Pats, Giants suck" three times in one episode and if Giants win, Leo has to wear the hat for a full episode.

  • This. Channel. Is. Awesome.

  • the set is looking better and better! Great job guys!

    and the Cowboys or Texans aren't in the Super Bowl so... I'll be watching for commercials...

  • Go Giants, looser wears the opposing teams Jersey for a months worth of shooting for FLD/Drive.

  • Where did the Samsung tv go? ;)

  • Did not seem very scripted and you guys just threw stuff at Leo. Ether way, great episode.

  • Go pats

  • Loser needs to wear a jersey, full face paint and a hat of the other team for a full episode of their show.

  • Brown

  • who ever looses should have to kiss a cardboard cutout of the winner's quarterback. Pats all the way!!!!!

  • the loser has to wear face kitty cat face paint for the next week on all of their videos.

  • giants will win, that's for sure, but Leo, nice show again!

  • nice

    

  • =)

    

  • WHAT WAS THAT?

  • very good shakedown

  • I really like the new channel.
