    :30 These labels are backwards. The white car is an Escort and the blue car a Capri

      Exactly. Know your facts and check your editing.
      Otherwise, you'll be one of the many 'Murican' video creators, who make a valid point: they don't know, what their AI narrator is talking about!

      One-nine-O-E?!
      Crappy AI bs!

      The technical specifications were... What exactly? Approximately? Vaguely?
      That's what I call arbitrary AI story telling.
      Reader's digest has more input on that vehicle than you have!

      Random names and then:
      'Memes', 'social media', fancy dances? With Ford Racing?? In 1987????
      AI halluzinations!

    What a load of shit. There was No social media in the late 1980's. FFS

      It's AI slop. 😕 You can see in the thumbnail that the AI struggled to render things such as the wheels and text on the license plate.

    How can CarFlex hold their heads up? The Mercedes 190e 2.3, an historic and iconic car if there ever was one, CarFlex calls it a 19 OE 2.3. And they can't even be bothered to correct their error when it is so damn obvious?

    As an English man what you have done is sacralidge getting the Escort wrong for a Capri & a Capri an Escort. Majority of British families have owned both or 1 or the other. My family have owned 6 capris & 3 Escorts 1 been mine !!!

      As a kid brought up in England ford had everything. From the fiesta to the escort to the sierra and if you were looking for something really sporty looking the Capri. Something for all the family. Great times.

    08:30 "social media presence"? Dislike well deserved. Apparently the text writer for the narration of this steaming pile of manure was born the day before yesterday and thinks social media was a thing in the 80's - AI generated apparently AND narrated too.

    The info here is so lob-sided, lost in the right direction! I was hoping you mentioned South African homologation special Sierra XR8 with a 5.0L motor from that era's Mustang! Check it out!

    narration is abysmal, hope it's some auto narration thing as otherwise speech therapy is in order - parts of it are unintelligible. The normal speech is ok, some model numbers are sorta OK but other model numbers are so wrong it's gobbeldigook - since this is about cars it's kinda important to know which car is being spoken of at which moment, and that is what is mangled. Rover dsluhgbfdoliyhfsgebybd is not helpful.

    Fair enough. European Touring Car Racing is about parity, in vehicles based on homogenized real world machines. 5 litre v8 muscle cars weren't really a thing in Europe. Even a Sierra Cossie is under 2 litre. The old Escorts were likely 1600cc. The nimble Euro tourers may be good in the corners and have more agility, but you will always be over-powered by a 5 litre v8 on straight.
    If you're bringing 5 litre muscle cars to a touring car party then everyone else may as well start bringing Corvettes, Holden Commodores, Porsche 911 and Ferraris. It's not in the spirit of the competition.

      But the 5 litre wasn't banned, was it? Ford stuck with the RS500, which was a 2 litre. It was the turbocharging that was banned (purely to enable BMW or Mercedes to win, a disgusting move).
