  • i want that mental shirt!

  • Can I get a shirt, for tell everybody the true of LEO homosexuality for real she sooo GAY

  • should've just kept it about the racers and made a diff video for the bmw

  • To say that Dan Wheldon's accident was avoidable and this should have never happened is ridiculous. The speeds that they were running were much slower than when the Cart PPG ran here in the 90's Ayrie qualified at 236 mph. These 2 idiots may voice their opinions but they have no clue, It's racing and if the element of death was not there then where the challenge. They all know that the next race could be their last. God Bless Dan's family and pray for them.

  • R.I.P This is death month

  • @slavadr1 yeah

  • We build ricks drive lines for his trucks I just saw him last friday its crazy and a sad loss rip

  • Hideous new 3 series.

  • put on your seat belt, wear a helmet, eat your vitamins, hug your mom, respect the road, and always, eat lots of vegetables

  • is it just me or Bmw is getting uglier and uglier? just me probably

  • Seems like you guys were the only ones to give any news on Rick Huseman. RIP Dan and Rick, Two great champions that were taken from us too soon.

  • Formula 1 is faster, and safer. Yes?

  • I think they've hit the limit with the 3 series, because the latest 3 series is sooooooo nice you just can't better it! My opinion anyway

  • 3 series looks like "Grandpa's EVO X"

    is that a good thing or a bad thing?

  • Same goes to driving on public roads.

  • Derek. I must say. Your hair looks amazing. So, anyways, my friend mentioned how cool it would be if there was a Lamborghini mixed with a Ferrari. I said that he was crazy, and it would look terrible. The aerodynamics would be all wrong. Could you imagine a 458 front end with a Gallardo rear? Disaster.

  • 3 new BMW trim levels:

    Sport line

    Luxury line and

    Cheap line, Sorry. Modern line

  • Can somebody get Leo out of this damn production??

  • @FastLaneDaily where are you getting this money from to afford these higher level cars Derek? i remember you saying that FLD was your job. is there something else you do?

  • To skip Leo go to 2:10

  • @ennova18 So, you hate me so much you'll diss words about the Dan Wheldon tragedy? Unbeliveable! Next time try being smarter and pick your times to take your shots at me better. Wanker!

  • @LeoParente lol I would say the "shot" was well placed apparently. However unintentionally. I don't see how me offering a way to get right to the car news is Dissing on you or Hating you. There are just some of us who don't care about racing or its drivers... Take a pill an relax "Wanker"...

  • RIP Mr Wheldon and Mr Huseman. Our prayers go out to your families.

  • Speaking of wearing your seat belt, and wearing a helmet, has anyone ever worn a helmet while driving on normal city streets? I did yesterday, felt very weird. I also put the wipers on fast for good measure, because you always feel like you're going faster with them on. People looked at me funny because it wasn't even raining. But, I was persistent and arrived at my destination without removing my helmet. Needless to say, I was coppin some mad stayles.

    GO DEREK D!

  • is Leo wearing his dad's suit?

  • 3.0 litre engine not 2 litre?

  • classy move to shelf the commenter of the week

  • 3 series is sexy! dunno wht ur on about!!!

  • It was a nice salute to Dan Wheldon.

    It was a nice gesture of FLD to that, I've only seen FLD do something nice like this, the other car shows I subscribe to has not said anything about this horrible accident.

    Lots of respect FLD.

  • now one who really likes any kind of racing goes to see accidents.we wanna see a good race and healthy competitions..really the last 5 laps.we wanna see the end of the events with all the field....

  • Very Nice tribute..class act for sure..thanks guys for the great show..always...DW...we'll miss you...

  • drive full throttle guys. RIP

  • 5:24 Ian's face

    

  • This is the most depressing FLD ever... damn.

  • leo said it perfectly...

  • HELLO FLD!!!

  • RIP Dan Wheldon. A great racing driver, great sportsman, great person. U died doing what u loved. RIP.

  • I think it's great that FLD pays tribute to excellent racers, you guys know how to be funny and how to be serious, god bless the dead and god bless FLD, thanks.

  • working at FLD can get you the money for a beeems?

  • I love to see a show that understands how to handle the passing of two greats. This episode was a perfect sending off of two guys who shouldn't have passed on yet. Thanks Derek and all the FLD guys for taking these events seriously instead of undermining them in a quick mention. Hats off to you guys

  • Ugly 3 series...i miss Bangle :(

  • I don't understand when Leo says he didn't need to die... It was a tragic accident and accidents happen!

  • Comment removed

  • New BMW.... lets fix the front end and make it slightly better, but leave the rear end looking like crap.

  • nice shirt!

  • that why i tell people if u love cars dont become a racer become a car reviewer

  • This is properly M3NTAL.

  • NEVER DRINK AND FUCKING DRIVE.

  • I love Derek d. Lmfao

  • New 3 series sexy? Not at all IMHO. That car reminds me of the 80's. Squared front end and just no flow in the design at all.

  • crashes are not cool in racing or not, unless its in a demolition derby.

  • good advice at the end d

  • wrong .. !!

    that bmw looks like a mistake

    thumbs up

  • Comment removed

  • Indy car is a American event so like all American cars it lacks the safety on lets say a F1 or a Le mans car.. i know American fan boys think different but Indy cars are not made by car companies that spend billion dollars on safety that's why there are 3x more cars on Indy races.. also the competition safety rules are less strict so that teams with less money can compete... so this + oval tracks with huge speeds = danger. nice scripts Derek keep up the good job

  • I'm downloading porn while watching this

  • RIP Brothers....and other thing...Dont Drink and Drive Dudes "DDDD" like 5 innocent people in my town died over the weekend because of drunk drivers...we all love cars here....lets be safe and not trash them or people.

  • RIP Dan Wheldon

  • This show was legit! I love when you guys goof around and have fun, but I am so appreciative of the fact that you guys can handle such unfortunate events such as the recent ones with such maturity. Fast lane daily is the real deal when it comes to automotive news. I watch every episode and urge others to do the same! Keep up the good work

  • The new BMWs look awful.

  • 16 people dont eat there vegetables

  • i keep hearing, "he didnt have to die" and stuff of the sort, about dan wheldon. I am wondering if there was something wrong with the track or car that officials ignored?? Or was it that there were too many cars on the track or some other reason??

  • sadest fld ever :(

  • Why use the language "He didn't NEED to die" As Oppose to "Have To Die"

    Need to die implies that that his death was something someone may have wanted for a reason.

    /Or am I reading to much into this...

  • To be honest I don't think that the 3 series should've been mentioned in this video, rather'd have made a separate video for it, great job staying upbeat though Derek D.

  • I know steve jobs better than dan wheldon, but im way sadder then when dan died.

    RIP dan 

  • The twin turbo version of the 3 series is a 3.0 liter and not a 2.0 btw

  • I can't believe the shitty things some people are writing. The track was too fast. There were too many cars. It was a cluster phuck waiting to take a life. But money is always more important than a life.

  • Nice shirt Derek

  • F1 worst death was the guy getting run over by the F1 and the driver himself. It actually bothered me for month

  • well said, shitty day

  • when a track isnt safe, and the drivers and teams know it, it shouldnt be held... USA F1 2005 anyone?

  • FLD quit slacking with your fucking statistics. its not that difficult to read jalopnik

  • Ok guys i guess i will now make suezy my girlfriend cause she is rich now. all Dan Wheldon money is hers now . so if u want to win a lottery go mac on suezy!

  • Who dislikes this video? 15 people (so far) have no class.

  • @Frdmstang people who who comment on the like or dislikes, assuming we are blind and can't see it....

  • Is it me or has Indy Car been plagued with more accidents this year than last. It is a shame someone died, clearly Indy needs to get their _____ together.

  • "And eat your vegetables"

  • The new M3 is gonna be AWESOME

  • ooo the m3 is gonna look SWEET!

  • IMO Indy car racing is simply just not as safe as Formula 1, they said it's been 5 years since the last death in Indy, I'm sure F1 hasn't had one for a LOT longer. I think Indy has to take a serious look at it's methods and practices, review it's entire safety strategy, redesign the cars even like F1. And why do racing drivers die in aircraft crashes? Thinking of McRae for one.

  • @marksapollo Also, look at the speed. 220mph average vs 200max. And the distance between the cars, F1 are usually doing time trials compared to the distance here. Its not that F1 hasn't had a death because its safer, but the chances of it happening are just so much greater in Indy

  • @marksapollo To be fair, F1 is as safe as it is as a result of Ayrton Senna's death, and the massive shakeup that happened subsequent to it.

  • What about the other drivers who had died? I am sorry for the families of Dan Wheldon and Rick Huseman. We need to pay our respects to all the people in the 15 car collision.

  • @escritora08 as far as I know others who got in that crash were released from the hospital even before the sad news about Dan arrived.

  • Is your Assistant Camera really named Otto Mann and comon your Gaffer is actually called Ralph Wiggum? Or you guys just messing with us with som Simpson names?

  • Love the show keep up the good Fld!Any ideas on the next generation of safety in all racing action sports as in car improvements new style of car or a all around better safety system also track improvements if any?

  • can you still tell what the person who was going to be commenter of the week said

  • look at those kids. that's rough. PRAYERS go out to his family. be strong. tearing up.

  • Another reason to hate oval tracks, sigh.

  • rip dan wheldon

    

  • Rubbing aint racing. What happened to the gentleman racer. Leave the Death Races to the Rednecks and Cavemen. WEEEELLLMAAA!!!!!!

  • if your wondering what in tarnation im talking about watch this the movie Fuel its a free documentary on youtube movies.

  • IndyCar + oval tracks = disaster. RIP Dan.

  • hey, fast lane you guys have any news about bio-diesel cars late lately?. . . .

    or engines that run off of peanut oil? just wondering cause im tired of taking my truck to the gas station every other day

  • R.I.P. Dan

  • group B =*( R.I.P.

  • DEREK!!!!!! Out of all the screw ups you could have made, not that one. And hey WTF with the shitty editing, no one else caught it either. OMG, just aweful. I will never watch this show again.....JK

  • Very well play fld.

  • OMG if the 2012 3 series looks this good....Imagine when the M3......uugghh....just wet myself

  • could anyone explain me why they hide Ians face??

    

  • why do i always find myself watchin this show when it has 303 views dam straight loe

  • @SkunKsmoKes LEO* typo

  • its sad, and there is noting i can say that hasn't already been said. Our prayers are out to the family and loved ones, and like double D said (everyone be safe and give thanks to your loved ones.

  • Smediummmm....

  • Fuckin depressing episode..

  • RIP to two great talents in their own right

  • One question: why?

  • the new bmws seem like a step back from spangle's designs. those looked more "futuristic" while bmw are now trying to hold back on that...just seems backwards and out of style.

  • You guys rock. Leo and D u guys did good here.

  • Open wheeled cars have no business in that type of track. I can go as far as thinking that the dicks at Indy where looking for an accident. I hope there's a real investigation that ends up with one of this soulless suits in jail.

  • Oh man ... even watching FLD makes you feel just sad these days =/

  • and yet again bear scat eaters are back Fuck u fld

  • WHAT ABOUT COMMENTER OF THE WEEK!!!

  • As a racing fan, Thank you Leo and FLD for that tribute.

  • nice tee shirt derek d.

  • I hate it now but for some stupid reason i think it will grow on me like the initial e46-e90 change

  • i know the fence in indycar is there for safety... but it seems like it makes these kind of accidents worse than they need to be.... R.I.P Daniel Wheldon & Rick Huseman

  • the new 3 series is uglier than before, however the back is ok, its a butterface

  • that 3 series is ugly!

  • Indy cars and nascars need to go faster on the track.

  • rest in peace daniel wheldon and rick huseman..sad day for motor world..the bmw back is sexy but the front, hmmmm, imo the headlights looks like an evo lancer...anyway, i would still buy it simply because its a BMW, and i love BMW..

  • The M3NTAL shirt was in poor taste considering the bad news that you had to talk about today.

  • i like your shirt with the german "D" on the numberplate..! ;D

    you are welcome here again anytime! :)

  • At least that guy died doing something he loved

  • That BMW is UGLY

  • You guys are all class acts. Because behind all the jokes, gags, gimmicks, test drives, (oh yeah) and actual car news, you guys really do care. Not doing CotW was a little disappointing but for a very good reason.

    It's sad that most autosport events are watched because of the wrecks. I, myself, am guilty of this at some level. However, you are right. Wheldon shouldn't have died and as Parente said, it shouldn't be in vain. Unfortunately, Huseman was a victim of wrong place, wrong time. Prayers.

  • Nothing can match the e90 m3 SEXYNESS

  • i want a bmw 399i

  • FLD, This is why I love your show. You show reverence and respect to those who need it, and class and dignity when you know it's right, but you can also put on a kick ass show about cars. Keep up the good work, make us all proud!

  • Great words by Leo

  • omg ean has an eye!!

  • That shirt > all your DC shirts.

    Leo looks like an older version of my friend Eric, they even talk the same except Leo knows cars and Eric knows anime. that is all.

  • A very sad day in Motoring - well done FLD for representing and respecting - we appreciate it.

  • Comment removed

  • I completely agree with Leo that race was a bad idea and should of never been run

  • @jojomonk67 The track is just thight and highspeed and Dan Wheldon death should have proved it.

  • @jojomonk67 texas isnt suited to open wheel racing. Is just too dangereus... not worth it. Dan was a great driver, way above the avg level of todays indycar grid. RIP Dan.

  • @surfboyrio It was Las Vegas not Texas but these cars don't belong on any 1.5 mile tracks

  • Amazing words from Leo. I can't wait till Shakedown.

  • I'm not sure I completely followed what Leo was getting at ? What happened that "didn't need to happen" ? I understand Dan lost his life but what was Leo implying caused the crash besides driver error ? Please don't troll this post, I just need a simple answer please...I don't follow Indycar too much

  • @sentrakidsr20 The track was renovated around 10 years ago to have higher banking. after it was renovated they were saying that open wheel cars shouldn't race on it because it was too fast. They didn't race on it for a while but they just started up again a few years ago I believe. The field was too crowded and the track was way faster than it ever should have been. A lot of drivers are also saying people were driving crazy and people need to start taking better care of each other.

  • Why was there music playing during your announcement of Rick Huseman's death?

  • Leo gave me goosebumps..

  • There is no need for knee jerk reactions like the canopy concept.

    This is a hard time for any motorsport fan... More sad to me that the new indycar chassis that Daniel Wheldon helped develop is designed to limit these types of accidents that cost him his life.. There is always a danger with racing of any type.. always will be.. all anyone can do is try to limit these types of accidents and learn . RIP Dan.

  • RIP Wheldon and Huseman.

    And Derek, where can i get that M3ntal shirt you're wearing??

    I have to disagree with you on the new line of BMW's. They dont look sexy at all... they look boring. They remind me of an office desk at some law firm. But the engine advancements they are making are superb, i just hope they put another V8 into the M3, so they can wipe LMS clean like they did back in 2001 ;)

  • very classy leo and thanks for saying what need to be said

  • Why do you guys record the show so early in the morning?

  • real appropriate shirt for today Derek

  • F1 is too dangerous of a form of racing, they need to do something to protect the drivers to continue the series. This is 2011, death shouldn't be a factor in racing. It's practically impossible to die in a NASCAR car these days. F1 needs a canopy and cover the wheels, possibly even restrict the speed

  • @Coy1750 Derek D was talking about the Indy Car series and not Formula 1. Besides Formula 1 cars are safer than Indy cars because the F1 teams are free to design their own cars whilst staying within the regulations, whereas all Indy cars are basically the same body & engine. Also, there is no way to take the potential of death completely out of the equation when it comes to racing.

  • @Coy1750 you know thats not f1 its the American equivalent indycar totally different cars and safety that comes with them

  • "...you realize how dangerous racing is, in any form." -- Derek D.

    Unfortunately some forms are far more dangerous than others. That's like saying,"movement is dangerous, because you can slip and fall while walking, you can tumble and roll while running, you can pancake yourself while driving, and you can incinerate yourself upon atmospheric reentry".

    Indycar and oval racing is currently the most dangerous auto-racing form. Schu refused to race there. We need to blame the driver a bit, sadly.

  • Derek d shaved!

  • The BMW F30 3 series M package will be available in the summer of 2012. NOT one year later as you guys said. Did you guys check your sources at all?!?

  • 335i is going to have 3 litre TT engine, NOT 2 litre :P

  • stay classy fld.

    rest in peace wheldon and huseman

  • FUCK BMW.

    seriously, i thought they didn't know what they're doing when bangle was chief, he's gone for years and they continue to do the same shape as he's still there.

    i'm saying it for the last 4-5 years, bmws and volkswagens look like kias from a few years ago. plus, the bmw does what audi did with it's whole range, copy the same car look throughout the whole range. it's pathetic, it's luxury for idiots. dered d, you have no style or class, so the car fits you perfectly, just like the passat

  • 3-Series now looks like a Ford. Blah...

  • Thank you for your words and insight, as much as it hurts and as great as the cost of the accident was we have to find meaning and purpose in Dan Wheldons death, otherwise more tragedy is surely to follow and you highlighted that point without beating everybody over the head about it.

  • didn't even mention rick ross' seizure 

  • @jimsoccer8 tomorrow my friend

    

  • @comedicd keep up the good work derek

  • Above all if your going to do something that would put your life at risk, have a safety net in place so to speak. These men and women that get behind the wheel and drive like that are professionals and know exactly what they are getting into. The Ferrari driver that got out of the car may have made a call that saved his life. When they crash its something to see as long as they walk away. Also to the people that street race take notes, don't be stupid stupid.

  • Stay classy FLD, I'll go and hug my mom right now.

  • *Insert troll here about Derek D. getting the engine size wrong*

  • Wow beautiful words Leo Bless your soul. And may Daniel Wheldon - a young and inspiring racer with family R.I.P. And Rick Huseman and his brother as well, you will be remembered R.I.P.

  • What's up with BMW releasing their cars in different styling lines?

    Loved the idea of it on the 1 series, it went with the cars character.

    The 3 series however is more of a 'affordable' premium car with both the ability of being driven in a sporty way and chewing up some highway (and city) miles.

    The 4 styling lines seen like they want to split up that character...

    I do like the overall look of that car though!

  • where can I get the M3NTAL t-shirt??

  • do you guys honestly get up at like 4 oclock to start working on the show EVERYDAY ???
