Good read.

Which is exactly what TGUSA seems to have done, and why the TGUK model doesn’t work on traditional US commercial television.

Thank you for the clarification, though it doesn’t disprove my point. The Grand Tour does not critique package delivery services or review tires, so the odds of there being a creative conflict between those two is slim. Bigger picture, Amazon Prime Video does not rely on selling advertising to make money like…

That fastest lap appears to have surprised Fernando as much as it did the rest of us.

yea, but the brand suffers as it doesn’t create an identity or create any stars

but it’s not like they announce the reasoning, or discuss what the new brand means to them. they just show up in a different show and viewers just sort of accept it? i guess what’s surprising to me is I don’t see this happening in any other medium.. athletes, journalists, tv anchors, even weathermen for god’s sake..…

The Oscars care more about ratings. Expect Harry Styles to get the nom.

Just the look of resignation and terror on his face when he was standing on the pier right before Hardy shot down the plane was amazing. He did great in this movie.

Motorweek is the best. I grew up watching it Saturday mornings on PBS. No fluff, just the facts and that soothing voice. Love it.

The difference between women race car drivers and race car drivers who are women:

That specifically, yes, but all your comparisons with the Top Gear are pointless.

It seems like I am the only one who found bemusement out of the CBC bit. The initial one was a hilarious gag, then it fell a bit flat in the couple following episodes, but once you knew it was coming, it became the new “Oh my god, they killed Kenny!”. I looked forward to seeing what novel gag they’d use to off their…

I’m looking forward to Silverstone. Hopefully the VF27 can keep the pace, and both drivers score points.

That’s rather unfortunate.

I’m not sure I agree with your evaluation. Trying to make a Reliant Robin into a spaceship was pretty stupid, but also pretty entertaining.

Dang stephen, that pretty much made sense. You’re slipping.

There are still people on DriveTribe?

The video is an interesting watch, but I’m fascinated now by the Rimac.
