    I love how this channel has cars as 'one of the subjects' to also keep it in tone with the Autoalex 'universe', but Jack and Ethan mostly let their adventurous side shine through. Makes it unique!

      It's the greatest thing they could've done for their channel and I'm all for it. The dynamic between these two is just hilarious, and I'll be blunt and say we don't need ANOTHER car channel that buys cars and puts BC Racing coil overs on them.
      Having said that, I'd love to see the odd car video as Jack does actually know how to work on cars and Ethan can continue to be the butt of the joke as he's a non car guy!

      The content has been absolutely amazing so far too, it's almost like it's the missing part of the AutoAlex road trip videos in a way too if that makes sense
      I'm with George too on the not needing another channel that just buys cars and puts BCs and wheels on them, TDC are already killing it with the toasty porsche too which is more competition, but we do need someone doing the simpler nuggety stuff, like the CT Golf and the scarlet steed, but I think this sort of video should be the bread and butter

    This channel is really turning into something special. It has the cars and the banter, but it’s also a little deeper. In the old days of Top Gear, I could imagine a similar program with a section from Auto Alex, a section from All the Gear and a section from Top Dead Centre filling an hour just perfectly. Well done!

    the "rumble strips" on the south loop were suspension tests. the Ring was originally built from 1922 to 1927 to do vehicle testing, NOT racing. it was around for many years before it became popular as a racing facility. that hillclimb area, the tight bends, the high speed areas, and this bumpy bit, those were all meant to test different parts of the car. similar to VWs Erha-Lesseim facility, where the Bugattis do their top speed runs.
