SHAKEDOWN - Racing and Motorsport News - 3/5/10

[cmak4265]

leo is officially my hero he called danica a bitchy toddler, this guy should have his own show on the speed channel and have it featured here.

[supercatzo]

i love shakedown leo's the best! & @ the end LMAO

[IsicanA7X]

hahahaha thats epic funny at the end

"My balls hit about here. See the crack in the paint?"

LMAO hahaha

[trav1sbickle]

Love the coverage of motorbikes this time. I thought Leo was annoying at first but his segment is growing on me fast. VALENTINO ROSSI!

[thedarkminister1]

see the crack on the paint? and the camera guy looks lmao XD

[nagasako7]

Leo seemed to piss off the USF1 and Danica fanboys.

lol watch out Leo, that is the most intimidating fanbase in motorsports.

/sarcasm

[drkangravewing]

Love this segment with Leo. Not to cut on Alen or DD, love them too.

[viper90987]

and the award for worlds biggest dick goes to......... i like derrick d better, this guy is a dick.

[aqeel3344]

Derek D is a good presenter, even ppl with no love for cars enjoy watching fast lane daily. This guy has nothing special in his presenting style

[me2ontube]

he has knowledge

[hutchingjc]

Leo getting some hate on... Love it! Danica who? She was DTM years ago when she couldn't keep her Indy cars going in a straight line! Totally agree with the USF1 fail. How did three other teams manage to get brand new teams/cars to testing and looking good for a grid start next weekend but USF1 f***ed up so badly? Makes 0 sense to me...?

[ibzumn34]

My balls hit right about here!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

Now that's FUNNY!!!!

[stripetuffy]

Yes Dana K is an empty bitch

finally it has been told

go Leo

I'm just saying

[boilerdowd]

Seriously- this guy is killing FLD. Derrick D is funny and enjoyable...this guy is neither fun, nor entertaining...and his massive opinions that he states as if they were facts are painful.

[batra10]

dude you are mad fucking annoying

[BlackTransAmdude]

LMAo the ending was funny "My balls hit right on the paint. You see the crack right here?"

[PaulLOVESChristoph]

having to wait from thursday to monday to hear auto news sucks. Shakedown should remain as a segment, and the Road Testament should be posted on garage 419, if that show is aiming for "G419 style discussion shows" anyway.

[mayinss]

Leo ROCKS!

[piwright42]

"My balls hit right about here. See the crack in the paint?" That's one way to say you have steel 'nads. LOL

[KuroTsun]

The combination of screaming inline motors and roaring v-twins is music to my ears. Love the bike racing.

[sergh8605]

parente you really need yo own show and get ridd of the royal purple guys they are cutting your time in have.

[angelthrust]

LEO

danica is an idiot. but who gives a shit about nascar anyways. more info on ALMS, good job but always want more and deeper news! (team corvette esp)

get a new backround,

[mediteranian213]

danica just hang it up

[MrLoose26]

u can get banned on youtube?

[KingUw]

FLD can't ban you. it has to be one of the youtube moderators that banned you

[nagasako7]

Leo called it about

Block v. Kimi

[juicypencil]

I think is Haslam over Fabrizio, not Haga.

[LeoParente]

Yes. Earlier comment caught me and I owned up to error. Was even watching the race and blew it!

[elliotbradley]

Seth Enslow is the man.

[IntonoIntus]

loving those SHAKEDOWN episods

[Exoticsoflondon]

HAHAHAHA at the last guy in the video

[boarderboi7]

great show leo...glad to see some moto GP and SBK action on there!

[DrJCCC20]

hahah dont just go daddy go away lol great

[StevenJeNova]

Spot on, Leo!

[YUBU8]

leo did you watch the nationwide race?

and how that incident between danica and mcdowell happened?

[LeoParente]

Yes, I did.

Any even though McDowell was wanking around early in race [and Danica used his already crunched rear fender as evidence that HE was bad and HE caused the accident....] HER CLAIM that her closing rate was soooo superior that he should have let her through is BS.

And weren't they racing for that all critical P22 spot @ lap 78 of a 200 lap race?  !!

And wasn't she NOT even beside the guy trying to make the pass [He had every right to turn]. All THAT is why she is DTM!

[YUBU8]

well no they were not racing for the same spot. he was a couple laps down when she pulled up on him. because of the crash in previous laps and he had just come out of the garage with damage trying to get some more points(thats why he was so slow).

[YUBU8]

he should have and was trying to get out of her way since she was on the lead lap and he was a couple of laps down. problem was the 3rd person in the equation(spotter) was late in telling him she was going low and he thought shed go high so they met at the apex into the corner at over 170 miles an hour.

[YUBU8]

he apologized but in reality it should have been his spotter not communicating with danicas spotter half a lap back at the least. and someone (if Danica didn't know that he had damage) should have warned her as-well)

you can atleast realize the fustration in knowing that you were on the lead lap about to do something as simple as passing a damaged car then next thing you know your flying into the wall at 160 MPH because of a collision that never should have happened.

[LeoParente]

But, here's a very important rule of race driving. * Don't let yourself get taken out by other drivers [especially IF you think they are worse than you as she claimed with McD].

But, she always does. Seems like she drives [won't call her a racer yet] with a sense of entitlement.

Everone should be given the chance for success. Even DP. I think she is her own worst enemy. If I was coaching her, Step1 would be - Get the "danica" out of her head. Then, let's watch her race!

[YUBU8]

lol well, i guess that's Danica.

[OMGItsWeasel]

my favorite FLD off-shoot, and my favorite shakedown ep, this episode was great. im glad SOMEONE on autostreams payroll has some actual motorsports passion.

[Nickpatient]

Thanks god for Leo bringing bikes to FLD, I'd love to see the whole show including some bikes to be honest.

[GoCougs2006]

The Shakedown is a great segment. Moto GP and World Supers are where it's at.

[Rafagafanhotobra]

I swear I tought the Royal Purple thing was a video joke

[RichardEllisxyz]

Leo, Leo Leo.... How about bringing to light the "good" things of racing? Is it not the rule making 'commissions' that are stifling true innovation in racing? I really am truly hating NASCAR with their ad festooned cars & drivers......the ad "count" on the guys leathers is quite obscene.  Did anyone determine the flammability of these ads all over their firesuits?

[LeoParente]

Will make sure to do.

Try to show all sides. The bike stuff, for example, was good news, right? Covering the F1 cars, was good news coverage [I thought]. And more.

Will never do info-mercial PR reblathers.

Will never do 'fair and balanced' / 'here are 2 sides' shows.

And I am just working off the facts, right?

I didn't invent this stuff. But....yes, there are good things and we try to get them, too.

[youlance29]

Very good job with shakedown leo. didn't mean to call you any names cuz i didn't think you'll see it! lol. anyhow, don't diss hot chicks esp those racing fast cars is all i'm saying. take it easy!

[brianz28lpe]

Great show! Love the ending! LOL

[biglipsjim]

leo takes the racing world and skull fucks it to death

[stripetuffy]

at least Parente knows his stuff and he is passionate about it

poor sap

[LOLHICRONO]

shakedown is more interesting now :>

[thegreatmonster]

nice one, but what happened to Derek, did he get run over by a truck?

[youlance29]

Corvette ALMS FTW!!!!!

[JKProductionsXD]

lol meh balls hit rite about here

[LGSAUSAGE]

Great show Leo!!!

[bigbag70]

derrick D is still a d-bag i like this guy better,,,,,,,,

[youlance29]

for leo to shit on danica patrick means he's a FAG!!! danica is to auto racing as tera patrick is to porn.

[youlance29]

Leo, straight men never shit on danika or tera patrick ever!!!

[spydr78]

Wow I like how he caps on the ALMS about not allowing the spec GT3 series to have AUDI, BMW and Porsche together. If he actually looked at one of the last posts on the ALMS site of the 2009 season from Scott Atherton, he would have heard that it is already in the works for 2011. One major factor is that audi doesn't have a US program ready for the R8 LMGT, it is due to be ready in 2011 spoken from Dr. Wolfgang himself.

[youlance29]

why wouldn't they? ALMS rule changes have squeezed everyone into GT2. either way, corvette racing's C6R is going to be champions in GT2 from 2010 on just like they did in GT1 for almost a decade.

CORVETTE FTW!!!!

[illidan1982]

I think he was saying, "my balls hit it right about here, see the crack in the paint?". What were his balls made of?!

[ricepaddy69]

@ illidan1982

My best guess is that his balls are made of titanium.

[mohsin19999995]

he a red neck dat why

[grgmys]

Hate Danica, she allows herself to be shamelessly exploited which wouldn't be so bad is she were attractive and talented. If she wasn't mildly famous no one would look twice, and she's got a GED and 1 win ffs! And the 1 win she has shouldn't really even count because the whole field was split between the Japan Indy 300 and the Long Beach GP, she only had to go through half the pack. I'm tired of her coasting along on the "first woman raceer" thing, b/c at some point you actually have to win!

[andr00123]

the last 5-6 shakedowns= amazing

todays = so-so

[LeoParente]

Wait till you see the disaster I have planned for this week.

Seriously, just trying diff limits of things and what the subjects of the week give me. But, keep watching, right?

[andr00123]

LMAO okay! Don't worry Leo, the only videos of FLD i skip through are Andy and JF's vids.

[teamlaguna]

Another Great Show LEO ! Just 6 days to go

until the real Racing starts......

[che996]

so thats it for danika?

[darkangelmak]

ROYAL PURPLE 25/28 wowowowowo

BUT WAIT WHAT WAS 1ST 2ND 3RD PLACE WINNER USING... LOL

[J4AProductions]

castrol gtx

[ae8686]

LMFAO, "my balls hit right about here, see the paint."

[brittonray]

Hmmmmmm. Leo's show is actually pretty good. I'm actually looking forward to the shakedown more so now than plane fast lane daily. Good job leo.

[torxMonster]

totally Agree Leo!!

Danica go away!

Z4GT3 ! all the way!!

[racekidishere]

I like shakedown, more road racing, less oval racing.

[YUBU8]

AMA RACING AT DAYTONA IS AWESOME

why da fuck arent my posts posting????

[YUBU8]

AMA RACING BABYYYYY

[KittycatWrangler]

Great show, Leo. Thanks for the Balls-O-Steel bit at the end.

[xdsk0x]

hmm Leo on top gear? ... shit thats a good idea lol

[PSTPolamalu43]

hell yes!

[johnyqtx]

You sir, rock!

[amigodemoose]

Agreed Leo for top gear USA

[DPerjar]

Leo for Top Gear USA host.

[lphs2010]

leo is the shit

[billaslinger]

You are getting better each time you do one of these or maybe I'm getting used to your humor. And the balls should have made dents not a scratch. I'm jus' sayin'.

[wudi911]

the last one was funnyyyy.......

[zmansporscheboxster]

See the crack in the paint.

[otmlb1128]

Leo was dynamite today. always love that he speaks his mind. keep it up.

[STiRunner90]

thanks you leo for speaking out against Danica.

[rxforlife05]

LMAO@"My wife calls it her friend. Either way you bitchy tardlette. Dont just go daddy, go away." That was brillant!!

[Curufin42]

Another good shakedown thanks Leo!

[PTKilowatt]

Leo I want to take a bet with you regarding Rally Mexico. I want to bet on which stages Ken Block and Kimi crash out on, as well as who wins the rally. Winner gets 50 bucks towards the choicest umbrella girls at the US Moto GP in Indy. Deal?

[LeoParente]

Bet OVER! Kimi already crashed.

Plus, wife thought bet was a bad idea!.

Rilza Girls, for me anyway.

[PTKilowatt]

Yup, caught that (suddenly paying for those extra channels doesn't seem like such a waste lol). Oh and bet NOT over, KB may have crashed out but he is forecasted to return sunday.

And since your wife doesn't think thats such a bet, how about it gets amended to an open tab at either Bourbon St. Grill or Slippery Noodle in Indy. I mean come on, any self-respecting US Moto GP fan has GOT to attend the GP in Indy right?

[jadou88]

hahahah talk about balls of steal his balls scrip-et the paint of his bike

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[rickki1]

Great show!!! Awesome finish!!! Out of the park Leo!!!

[keyfob]

The Suit!!!!

[rsxcbr]

Hey Leo, leon Haslam beat Michel fabrizio on the photo finish.. Not Haga

[LeoParente]

And I watched the race! Sorry.

[LeoParente]

Jeez, it gets worse. No one caught me yet on the other error.

Of Moto2, I should have said - "40 riders / 25 teams" not the mathematically impossible other way around.

Plus, know the Lizards Porsche is a GT2, not 3-car. But, the change got caught in yesterday's late-to-mkt upload issues.

Confession over.

[gerfall]

Who is this douche!

[sjbdeebo2]

Probably your daddy.

[LeoParente]

NO!

But, let's focus your insults here.

Not sure who's gettinjg dissed.

Him? me? Both.

Either way - 'Douche' is so overplayed. So, anyone using 'douche' as a slam is a.......

See you both next week.

[Kbeckpizza]

I dunno Leo.....

.......I agree that the term "douche" HAS been overplayed... but even through all the playing out, the term still hits hard for me; that alone is a testament to how awesome "douche" truly is as a funny insult. :D

I think "douche" is one of the all time great funny insults. And its fun to say!

and gerfall is a great example of a doucher

[outlawsonic]

Danica should go away for ever, any male driver with her driving record would never make the highlight reel on the after the race show, and probably would still be racing shifter karts some where in the south.

Now i am not against women racing, but they have to at least be able to drive.

[cobachaamplia]

I only watch Speed for F1 - there nothing else I care for... I used to be all over BTCC, DTM, WRC, etc... Now is Nascar Tech (huge oxymoron) and other moronic Nascar related shows and reality crap, mostly fitted for drunken rednecks... BTW, HD Theater has much better coverage of WRC, Motorcycle racing and other good car/bike enthusiast shows.... Why dont we just replace Nascar with the Australian Super V8 cars?

[AWDfreak]

If Nascra-er, Nascar, does get replaced by the Australian V8 SuperCars, I would be extremely happy. I'm sick and tired of switching the channel to SPEED to find out it's yet another Nascar show, *sigh*

Australian V8 SuperCars FTW

[lonewolf74]

@AWDfreak glad you yanks love our V8 racing !

[arminask]

don't like to know your opinion

[ColinPurvis]

with balls that large, they're bound to hit something...

[stephenopoly]

Great Show Leo! I totally agree with your Danica remarks... she's a total tard.

[arminask]

Leo Parente is the BOSS. He makes shakedown the best part of FLD!!!

[machinegunmana]

lol

[ShipMonster]

Lol "And heres the cactus they'll be hitting" More shakedown! WHAT ABOUT F1!!!! Mclaren's new wing is under threat and the 40 year old sturgeon is at the other Mclaren! Side note I used to run in the racing scene a while ago and I remember meeting Danica "no right hand turns please" Patrick when she was portraying a Toyota Atlantic driver in Cleveland. She had a horribly cocky and appalling persona then and this was from the BACK of the grid. It's like a b-movie actor shooting for Oscars.

[ShipMonster]

@ShipMonster  sorry I meant Mercedes.

[LeoParente]

F1 preview this week.

[Jptakeri]

Don't pick on Peter Windsor. It's not nice.

[LeoParente]

Don't lie to fans and screw with the hopes / support of those who care about F1 and the US!

[DvDPlaya]

Go away Danica. You look like my ex-gf.

[genius7000]

get a new commercial, im fed up of royal purple

[Bezor101]

Leo is a winner.

Another good show in the bag!

[DoggysStyle]

that porsche cup car class in alms is boring.

[steveo7220phx]

i love the show but you should be a little more positive about stuff

[robm425]

I still would have perfered if Moto2 stayed with the 2stroke 250cc. Those bikes could carry loads of speed through corners

[jet79637]

3:21!!! holy cow that sound is great!

[bigM10231]

@jet79637 and thats from a 4 banger

[supersayin1]

Great show!

[PIVbsw]

balls of steel xD

[byronjrperez]

shae, shae, shae, shake,DOWN......

[stigger91]

I would love to see that Z4 GT3 race w/ the Porsches. I also love the last clip LOL

[XSaenen]

25 riders ad 40 teams in the Moto2 class? Could you explain that please Leo?

[touge242]

Good question..is that 25 new riders, or are people racing under more than one banner?

[LeoParente]

Yeah......

See a comment above where I confessed to the error [after watching my own vid -not vanity, just analysing the flaws - and saying WTF did I say and write?].

Should have said it the other way around. Mathematicvally impossible, ain't it?

And I have an Accounting / Finance college degree, just no logic! Sorry.

[XSaenen]

no worries Leo, to err is human. Thanks for setting it straight.

And thanks for another nice episode.

[JohnMarineTube]

That SBK finish was awesome. Love that Aprilia bike! That MotoGP bike sounds wicked awesome, and I like the news ont that Moto 2 class. Best of luck to Audi this season in sportscar racing. The BMW GT3 car looks lovely. And AMEN, Leo Parente- I'd LOVE to see some of these FIA GT3 cars share the grid with Prototype and other GT cars. Amen! Good luck to Ken Block. Nice news on that Harley jump record. Also, pretty rough on some of the dead-to-me comments... but, I do respect your opinions.

[hothbase]

Brutal, but I'm glad someone is saying it. Those pin heads on Speed TV would never say the truth about the IRL, USf1 or their new cash cow Danica.

[cragmac1000]

Seriously they are to pussy to say what should be said. IRL is IR-relevant, NASCAR still sucks even with a bitchy dwarf, and USF1 is a non-starter, duh, I didn't see that coming!

[cragmac1000]

This is why speed channel sucks so much, well that and endless NASCAR coverage plus FOX based "reality" tv shows!

SPEED used to be awesome now though it's almost dead to me!

In fact Leo put Speed Channel in your DTM list!

[masterkdrifter]

thats soo true!!!! thats the first tv channel that i watched and it got me into cars! now i dont every watch tv anymore because of that stupid channel

[LeoParente]

There is a SD show in my head about - How TV Covers Racing.

I know some of the SpeedTV on-air and producer guys. They work hard, but....

On air comments ARE very controlled, unfortunately. And penalites are issued! Sad.

MY SpeedTV debut would be-

1] 10 seconds of intro,

2] A roundhouse swing at Kenny Wallace,

3] A real question to ALMS CEO Scott Atherton,

......Followed immediately by the TV test pattern / "eeeeee" sound!

[YUBU8]

lol a fight between kenny wallace and leoParente sounds like someone should set this up!

[Ghostca]

Another fantastic episode.. despite what people comment, dont slow down!! KEEP them coming. And if this episode makes no sense to you, it isnt for you!

[flybli]

Good stuff.

[VRTEGO75]

Leo, you're back to speaking at 100mph, man. Please slow back down so we can keep up. Lots of good info spoiled because of the pace.

[gearheadd318]

Im not a fan of SPEC racing, Im kinda disappointed that they did away with the 250cc's and replaced them with 600cc hondas. Its like replacing Spec Miata with Spec Viper, it should still be good but doing a lot with not much power is more interesting. Different is cool.

[supervetteC6]

Very good job FLD way to cover the moto GP. Very good coverage

[FerrarisRock]

That Yamaha sounds really nice ( 3:21 ) ... im no GP guy!! But is that just the race exhaust making the sound different from a street bike or is the engine modified cause compared to the Bikes i hear, the Yamaha GP sounds much throatier...(sounds like the old 5.5 from AMG) :P

[vicbel]

What happened to the "looking ahead" angle?

How about a word to the WTCC starting this week!

[LeoParente]

Point taken. Trying to group topics - Sedans coming.

But........I see the 'train-wreck' coming - How to look ahead vs all the in-season action.

Thinking......

PS- first race [no weight penalties to inlfuence performance] and even htough BMW pulled back to 1 team, they are fastest!

[eeeen321]

".... my balls hit right here...... see the crack in the paint.."

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! holy crap, that was insanely funny!

Good SD today..... bikes sounded so goooood...

BTW: Check out Australia's "World Time Attack Challenge"... THAT race is going to be un-freaking-real! 76 days!

[bkvintagecorp]

im not sure if Danica patrick fail in nas car is a good thing or bad thing.... she does have a good point, nas car is all about crashes, it does not take much talent to be a nas car driver.

[YUBU8]

are you even serious?

[bkvintagecorp]

about what?

[countach27]

I just like how Leo presents the racing news :D

[00corin00]

@fillabonga word.

[weed46]

Nice LEO

[drewpybeitzel]

great stuff as always.

[Inv4derxXx]

bitchy tardlick... i'm gonna add that to my collection

[LeoParente]

Tarlet.

[vipermoon64]

not interested =(

[anboyd]

Another stellar episode! All about it Leo, keep' um coming!

[Gurblash]

You stay classy Leo!!!
