I hope at the end of the series they have a special episode for the support crew all about how the Rivians performed.

AppleTV has free trials, just like everything else.

Are the first two series free with the service too, or a separate purchase?

I first watched Long Way Round because I was a Ewan fan. That first series is what inspired me to get my motorcycle license and start riding too.

This is not meant to be Top Gear!

I have been waiting for someone on the site to write about Long Way Up since Friday. First off- I love the sound the live wires make. They sound like a freaking spaceship under heavy acceleration. Also- how awesome is it that these are literally Rivian VINs 1 and 2?

This was actually filmed Sep-Dec 2019.

Yeah, it would have been awesome even if they could have used the pedestrian bridge instead, then turn north on 1st and back the same way.

This is going to be an EPIC weekend for race fans in Nashville. The track should be great for passing. Nashville really can party too. It really is music city. It’s not just country music. There’s awesome live bands everywhere. Also a win- this event is 100% privately funded. The setup, security, police/fire/ems…

I think the actual layout is pretty good. Maybe the location is on the wrong side of the river...

Yeah- I wonder what Exxon will do that weekend? Stock up on beers and snacks to sell to everyone within the circuit.

You win 

Does anyone ever respond to Jalopnik’s requests for comment?

LOL- yours is the top comment and I haven’t read the other 200+, so correct me if I’m wrong, but was there any “backlash” to his shirt?

No, you did not hold onto your notion too long. His team radio from Monza when he had to serve his penalty made him sound like my 11 year old daughter whining about doing her chores. The best driver in the best car for the last 6 years? Absolutely. Mature? Hell no.

Yeah, sounds like the demonstrations are “working.”

I instantly read that to the tune of the jingle.

My state, TN, has not seen an increase. Active cases have gone down slightly.

Thanks for this well written and measured response! There will be many cases from Sturgis, no doubt. The numbers in the study are laughable though. I work for the largest healthcare company in the country, nearly every one of their predictions and models were off. This one study... give me a break.

That was the year I started watching F1. It’s a shame what happened to Grosjean’s career.
