I abandoned the whole thing after the first season. Started watching 3rd season month ago and I think I might be back. It’s no peak Top Gear of 1500 pound Porsche challenge or similar 15 years ago, but feel more like safe ok episodes of past Top Gear.

Ok. But again what’s the new idea here? They bought a used boring machine and dig a tunnel. So any new tech to dig tunnels clearly is not it. They said this thing costed 10 million, but excluded any land acquisitions or terrain entrance and have not really clarified what exactly that 10 million tag even is.

Not quite government run. 25% is owned by France and Germany, rest is public.

This just reminds me to make a visit to Camp Nou once again. Seems silly not to go see him more often considering Barcelona is 180 euro flight away.

I would imagine getting the license from the papa VW Group to do an overbuild car were VW Group is loosing (or was loosing with Veyron at least) money on every car build would be pretty amazing from engineers standpoint. Veyron was also all over the media for a decade.

Of course all of our situations are different, but travelling all around in Europe, Western and Southern Asia I haven’t needed cellular for a decade. Outside of business trips where I’ve used my work phone without a care.

Some even made it to production. Like RCZ concept introduced in 2009 Frankfurt auto show and went into production 1 year later with the curved glass and all.

There are pretty good guide videos that open as you go forward in the game that teach you the technique to example handle long steep hills etc. 

It really is amazing. I dappled with Grooveshark and Pandora paid versions, but Spotify was the first one to put it all together with a UI that is not perfect but still on a another league to what I tried before it.

They are not certainly making a comeback in west, but F1 is also a truly global sport. Be it Japan, let alone China and South America do have a more lenient view on the product. BAT and PM have been growing their revenue in Asia-Pacific past 4 years.

I do find the tobacco firms fuck you attitude and clearly the mountains of cash they need to burn in F1 fascinating. Marlboro has been a sponsor for Ferrari 40 years and since 1997 their title sponsor. With quite a bit of that time not being even able to have any logo on the car, not even anything resembling to a…

F1 is ubiquitous all around Western Europe, Brazil and Japan. In the Michael Schumacher era it had over 650 million global audience when it was available mostly in free channels across Europe. At the moment the official number is 390 million. It still regularly ranks in the top 5 most watched sport in the world

Actually that contract part is the reason why this might have some credibility to it.

Not a fan of Neymars embellishment at one bit, but Neymar has been on the receiving end of fouls for his whole career. He was leading fouls taken for his whole time in La Liga.

While US is their 4th largest market and they experienced 3% growthin US, the actual growth came from their largest (Asia-Pacific, Middle East) and second largest market (China) where they saw double digit growth.

It was the Japanese that ran the company to brink of a bankruptcy and was saved by Renault money and Ghosn appointment as CEO.

I don’t understand this weird obsession of reddit. Why do people care so much about it around here? 

There have been casters since Star Craft decade ago getting contracts with severance packages and such.

Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see Renault selling their 43% ownership and voting rights on Nissan away. Nissan’s influence ownership wise to Renault is minimal.
