DRIVE CENTRAL - JAN 24 2012 with Chris Harris!

[nHeroGo]

great road trip

[DeadNightLife]

Really loving the Drive channel guys its getting better all the time. Sometimes I forget this isx on youtube and not on Speed.

[boy638]

so Chris Harris owns a GT3 RS 4.0?

[MCSparki1]

V8 Supercars PLEASE

[anacondaeight]

Leo, stop by the GRM tent and get in touch with your roots (Grassroots Motorsports). Get some exposure for Drive, and pick up a future story or two. See you at the Mitty?

[stuartclarke1974]

Hey Mike, what were you doing in Dubai? Will be great to see my town on screen.

[GhostCell07]

Hey Leo why do you think Toyota decided to go do a petrol hybrid vs a diesel hybrid? I mean Peugeot and Audi have proven that diesel cars are already faster in WEC. So wouldn't it make sense to have created a diesel hybrid vs a petrol hybrid.

[FerrarisRock]

@GhostCell07 Toyota is well known for their gas-hybrid systems... in the end racing is just a marketing extension, so if they used a diesel or a diesel hybrid it would somewhat be false advertising... You can't even buy a diesel toyota in north america :P

[F1addict09]

Just wondering what do DRIVE have planned for the start of the european motorsport season in March :D

[xerox123321]

Chris is simply a legend.

[jasonfocus07]

YESSSSSS they turned down the porno music, now i can watch this show without shame of my roommate wondering what im doing!

[TheLifePerfect]

@Drive A live chat would be cool. Just make sure everyones okay with all the amazingly stupid things people will post for attention or to troll. As a professional troll, let me warn you. Expect the worst.

But... if you can get past "the internet" and feel like doing one, it'd be a cool idea.

And Drive is shaping up nicely, you're bothering to tighten up the format and still listening to advice and reccomendations. Keep it up!

[emilen2]

Hey. I dissed you guys a bit in my recommendations last time. Since I'm still here, you are doing things way more right now! :)

Music down a note? : Yes.

Microphones? : Yes.

On the right track? : Yes.

[MVdesign]

@emilen2 Yes, about 10 teams will use the MP4-12C GT3 this year. In different championships. Check mclarengt (dot) com

[pete0560]

Hey guys can you tell me if anyone in the world is really racing the MP4-12C in GT3 racing? Because in Australia in late Feb there is going to be Bathurst 12 hour race but no Maclaren in the GT3 Class. From what I can see there is going to be Lamborghini, Ferrari, Audi, Mercedes Benz, and Mosler but no Maclaren. Because I would of loved to seen a GT3 MP4-12C going around the Mountain,

[Sameh90]

spinelle facial expressions remind me of sheldon cooper

[EatmyDust1311]

Idea for F1 rule changes

1. Deregulate engine displacement and cylinder count

2. Regulate fuel cell size, but not fuel type.

3. Allow more than one tire company in F1

Ideas for SHAKEDOWN

1. Start covering Supercross (please?)

2. Send Leo to a WRC event

3. Send Leo to the 24 houres des LeMons in a crapcan car to race

[1JAMROCK1]

Yeah! What happened to the drive video with the Mclaren F1? Lol

[MikeZ32TT]

Spinelle kinda sucks. Leo your great. Alex makes me laugh.

[Jakearrr]

Loving this channel!

[ryanturner103]

Great job guys! Things are really coming together. I love the idea of breaking down the new F1 cars vs last year and vs team to team. with all of the drive guys there to give their 2 cents. I'm not so worried about it being a LIVE cast, I usually watch sometime after 10pm.

[c3vzn]

Why is the Mclaren F1 GTR Chris Harris video gone?!?!?!?!?!?

[TopGear1Stig]

Guy in red shirt is a bad presenter. Sorry but it's true and no personal offence, but fire him.

[Bezor101]

Great, great episode. Sharing it. :)

[chrisdraper2007]

Mike needs to work on his on camera talking a bit.  He sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about. Maybe study some lines before going on camera.

[snakesinmypants]

Sportscar racing will be bigger than nascar because it is more relevant. the cot in nascar is wtf 2 me.

[singleblankscreen]

Alex cracks me the hell up

[snakesinmypants]

GT2 is the future... Win on Sunday Sell on Monday.

[benmastaw00t]

It's as if the McLaren F1 GT video Chris Harris was in, never existed. What happened to it, Drive?

[bordenwesley]

@benmastaw00t I should've downloaded it when I had my chance.

[aethrus]

@benmastaw00t I think that it was too obvious that they were driving recklessly on open roads. Also, him not even having a seat in the car seems pretty illegal :)

on the other hand, there was some police at the end of that video and I would think that they got a fine. I don't know how it is in England, but in Germany you can't be fined twice for the same "crime". So... i don't know... maybe Youtube doesn't like hoonage ;)

[boy638]

@benmastaw00t when it was uploaded weeks ago, the video was private so nobody could watch it :(

[drelovecenyrocks]

My bad, auto correct

[cameronk7]

where part 3 of alex roys show??

[drelovecenyrocks]

Drive sentral is the worst from 'drive'

[ellis987654321]

@drelovecenyrocks its "central"

[thedawg666]

Spinelli is not a good presenter , needs to work on his delivery and presence

[heyedmond]

spinelli should work on his presenting. he's very awkward to watch and listen to.

fantastic show otherwise.

[seroyer2]

JF is such a PUSS!!!!!!!

[MultiWhatthefuckman]

i don't like the closed widow, looks more like a bedroom than anything, keep it open if possible

[ingeniousJay]

Wow some of you guys are really spoiled I mean there is plenty of driving so far and they're not just pulling out race cars everytime they're appealing to all different types of car drivers hence the blastolene and secondly they're not rich...you act like they're gonna be taking flights to a different event every week shut da fuck up and enjoy what you have

[sford01]

Wow, Chris bought an RS 4.0! What a dream. Congrats, Chris!

[ktonlai]

how can chris harris afford a 185k gt3rs?!?!?!

[xxzeroxx125]

@ktonlai He has something called money.

[ellis987654321]

where is the next live and let drive episode?

[TheSoap1946]

Hahah you guys should keep Alex on every road testament

[barrinout]

i would love to drive that Quattro

[veteran011]

leo you say out like a canadian. haha. i like it.

[Diablo99V]

Chris is the man, looks like fun to be a passenger on a road trip whith

[rahi93]

omg that bass. *eargasm*

[pokinacha]

I love that a show called 'drive' has minimal driving in it apart from the actual driving surely this show should be called 'Drivel'...

[jsingleton17]

An episode on F1 and the rule changes for this season would be great.

[esoterik45]

@jsingleton17 Yes!!!!



[touge242]

I'm starting to really dislike Alex Roy.

[ChickenCritters]

I hate just talking love matts video and i loved leos visit at the nur

[PardonMyZinger]

Really enjoyed the call with Chris!

[Krazyleggz742]

Where is the Motorcycle coverage you guys were talking about before Drive launched?

[ruigoncalves2]

I want an explanation on why was the Mclaren F1 GTR video "removed"!

[MirageFB]

@ruigoncalves2 probably because they obviously weren't doing the speed limit and Harris wasn't sitting in a real seat?

[ruigoncalves2]

@MirageFB but still it's really weird that they didn't give any explanation...

[bottomlayer]

Don't ever bleep out the curse words

[JustDriveThere]

How come you guys don't mention why the Mclaren video was removed? Would be good to get some explanation

[julingy]

Ive been watching for a while and YOUR DOING GREAT. but. how about instead of what seems like 24 different drive sections. just do ONE weekly 50 minute show. turn it into a top gear esque (but still more for just car people). BUT still keep fast lane DAILY

[bottomlayer]

@julingy That would never load. YT suxxxxxxxxx

[BearachMT]

Did anyone else watch Alex and think.. fall! fall! fall!!

[adamwoody]

why does drive central exist. one paragraph explaining what the shows are will do just fine.

[baloonia1]

I love Alex and JF being together hahaha, although they hate each other they make a perfect couple, Chris doing fantastic vids and also Leo and Spinelli doing a great job. Ohh and Matt, well he's Matt. Love Drive channel.

[maxilos1987]

cant wait to see the shakedown coverage of the daytona 24

[AlumarsX]

Loving this channel.

[kmica2008]

the show is way too long. you can cut it in half or at least by 5 minutes.

[chevymaster08]

The guy on the left in the red shirt is like awkward toward the camera.

[82zkartracer]

Having been to a grand am race i can see how they are really trying much harder than ALMS to make it more interactive for the fans. Also Grand am feels like a modern day recreation of the CAN AM series of many years ago with the big engines and brute cars.

[NONo443]

lol, I have never seen Alex's head so red before.

[mrdragancelan]

Chris Harris...what a character! Love the guy! On another note, I'm looking forward to a new season of racing. Love the fact that Kimi is back in F1. I was so upset when he left.

[MADGEEKSPANIARD]

@mrdragancelan I hope Lotus gives him a good car, I would not like to see him not being able to compete like Schumacher....

[mrdragancelan]

@MADGEEKSPANIARD I agree. I'd like to assume their terrible finish to the 2011 season was due to their early start on the 2012 car, in turn giving me hope for the new car and Kimi...and maybe Romain. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[xxgg]

you guys look so awkward doing a video conferencing.... from face expression of not knowing what to do to both of them eyes looking else where, very awkward.

But i still like the video :D

[kickstartini]

Group B ..!!! Too Fast to Race.....need a lancia s4 vid plzzz

[YggdrasilMalware]

epic road trip nice JF is to serious and a party pooper

[kastrishis]

ALEX DIDNT FIND A UFO BECAUSE HE FORGOT TO LOOK IN A MIRROR

[Carrera911Fan]

bring harris to NY and make him be on the show for a week !

[bb3xhrhj]

It have allways been my dream to own a Porsche, do a porsche video :)

[theastronautdj]

Im seeing a new side of Alex Roy that we didn't get from him in road testament. He's very quickly becoming the funniest/legally Insane host on here. After his trip, PLEASE have him do more with JF. Their friendship really add a lot of personality to that series.

[videosps]

No JF u might lose some subs

[FakDomestics]

Leo, when do you arrive in Daytona? I am here for school and have been here for 4 years! I'd like to meet you in person! My school is at the airport which is right next to the race track.

[FakDomestics]

@FakDomestics Just send me a message if you want to do anything!

[cameronk7]

yes to any live streams with you guys

[zhbroder]

mike spinelli has the stage presence of a dead robot

[redforever91]

You guys are great, this channel is really good, just please don't feed Harris' ego as much as you guys have! Keep it up

[robm425]

Wow spoiler alert!!!!! next time air Alex Rpy's segment before you give it away!!!!

[Reso205]

Just wanted to say:

Thank you for turning the volume down

on that HORRIBLE/POINTLESS background music

Now we can actually hear what you guys are saying

Seriously thank you!

[dumkopf]

Looking forward very much to Chris's group b piece!

[F3stigio]

A live F1 broadcast would be awesome, but it would be a lot cooler and in-depth if there was a round table summary/discussion with all of the drive presenters there. I wouldn't mind waiting a couple of days after testing for that. There are plenty of other outlets for descriptive, boring, up to the minute F1 test blogging. I love the boring bits, but you can spend days on the boring details, you guys are more entertaining than that.

[Formula1875]

YES! F1 chat would be awesome! what are the complete details besides what you just spoke about? No NASCAR stuff please! I hate having to sit through that crap when you or anyone else does it. Awe crap, I watch it anyways, I love watching the crashes, not so much the race itself. None of you has ever done a show on how amazing the cars are or taken a trip out to a track to check out its complexity! Even the transformers movie made fun of it with the fat robot!

[C5R2]

I can't wait for the rolex 24 this weekend, this will be i think my 5th year in a row.

[InStyleDK]

All things are harder in the beginning, than later on, so guys, keep up the spirit, that will take Drive a long long way in the world of car nutters :)

[BeattySVT]

This needs to be longer, Im bored at work.

[BOSSANCHEROS31396]

Nascar hmm Europeans dont like it we are more into F1, GT1..

[jkand]

◎⃝ _◎⃝ ;

MOLE MOLE MOLE MOLE MOLE MOLE!!

watch?v=QEExYuRelbg

[waaahhooo]

mike spinelli doesnt have screen presence.

[SmartEnthusiast]

Why don't you guys just do a podcast?

[LaminatorSGL]

Do the F1 broadcast! Great to see a summary of all the tech, drivers and teams ahead of the opener in March.

[deadleg6]

Why is the Mclaren F1 GTR video private now?

[Spcialzd]

@deadleg6 Because he didn't have a seatbelt on or something and some boring people complained wasn't it?

[davidmac2007]

@Spcialzd My guess is that or the people that took him out in the F1 made them take it down because it looked like he was speeding on public roads, even the end shot showed them being pulled over. Harris claimed on his twitter they were not speeding, that's just how loud the F1 GTR is.

[shintsu01]

@deadleg6 i bet because they did something illegal :+) driving hard on a normal road + not wearing a seat belt :P

[Bilaltq]

They were once called spoilers, now they're coffee tables. haha can't wait to see Harris' piece.

[gingernator1]

What was the deal with him driving the F1 GTR? I was never able to watch it because it was "private". B.S., it had like 25,000 views or something like that!

[aemst]

The roadblock to daytona being international is that it will never be part of the new world championship like it was from '66-'81 because of the Grand-am rules.

[DanFrederiksen]

I used to drive group B cars but then I took an arrow to the knee! : )

fuck the past. nostalgia is death. shitty quattro is nothing compared to say a tesla roaster.

look forward, not back

[gingernator1]

@DanFrederiksen F1? F40? Peugeot 908 HDi FAP?

[DanFrederiksen]

@gingernator1 fukkem. ICE is dead

[LamboGallardo560]

@gingernator1

Don't bother with that moron, he's on Autoblog all the time talking smack about anything that runs on fossil fuels. Fact is he doesn't give a shit how awesome a car is in any way at all if it isn't electric. Everyone on AB knows to just ignore him.

[DanFrederiksen]

@LamboGallardo560 problem is that a car can't be awesome unless it's electric : )

some farmer might think that his ferguson is awesome but it just isn't. by same token a combustion engine car is just not cool anymore. ignorant people might think it is, but it isn't.

[edersiomoran]

@DanFrederiksen Claiming that thinking ICE's are cool is ignorant, itself is ignorant. The word ignorance is well applied on non-subjective matters.

[DanFrederiksen2]

@edersiomoran and your whole foundation for claiming so is because it differs from your opinion.

never mind little details like peak oil, global warming and that the world is transitioning to electric drive.. and that electric kicks butt.

[tom89ontario]

I can't wait to see that segment on the quattro...I LOVE that car...sadly I probably will never get to drive let alone own one...boooo. Nice segment guys!!

[JurmanKarSeen]

More GT3 RS 4.0 action from @harrismonkey please!

[peeps2142]

Good stuff guys, loving the content, looking forward to the year ahead =)

[Random415510]

open that window back up.
