Holy cow, check it out, the video team at Motor Trend made a terrific show out of our impish hooliganism! What fun to make, and I really enjoyed even watching. And I have never in my life laughed harder than when we were shooting the scene where I'm hanging out the window shouting "I'M TALKIN' DOUGHNUTS!" It's, really, really hard to drift and NOT look where you want to go, hahaha.
+Randy Pobst we have a great montage of the shots we took. You were fantastic, Randy! Best shoot to date!
+Liz De Guzzi BrendaLiz, this is a very impressive production, even by MT's high standards. I feel so very lucky to be a part of it.
Fantastic show! Can't wait for the next episode. One question: is it possible to drift without LSD?
I'm so looking forward to this show! You're the man Randy ✌👌
+Randy Pobst This first episode was awesome, looking forward to seeing more!
I had no idea Randy has such a great sense of humor. I will be looking forward to this show
+Lolman240 Whaddaya mean, no idea? I had lots of help from the MT team and producer/writer Mike Wilson, thanks!
+Randy Pobst - Great Vid !! and I'm look forward to seeing more of these vids in the future. Hope to see you at Willow.
+Randy Pobst Why is the hood open at the end of the vid? Cooling the engine off after a hard day of driving?lol Great video tho. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
+Eyston Austin We had planned to do a little more with that ending, and it necessitated opening the hood. Let's do say it was for cooling the turbos.
+Randy Pobst, BMW has just now publicly fired the force-induction specialists at M-division for making what the industry calls a Non-Pobst Compatible Part (or NPCP). Some might say that they lack humor.
Oversteer scares bad drivers. Understeer scares better drivers.
I always heard it as "Oversteer scares passengers. Understeer scares drivers."
I love them both 🤣
Oversteer is awesome and ALWAYS puts a smile on my face! Understeer is terrifying and frustrating! ;d
If you guys actually want to reduce understeer just get stickier, wider front tyres and/or skinnier rear tyres, stiffer rear shocks and rear sway bar, softer front shocks and front sway bar
Understeer is terrifying.
Randy Pobst reminds me of Bill Nye, that's a compliment.
+Nicolas Cage YOU DON'T SAY! HAHAHA
+Nicolas Cage Haha I was going to say that!
TRUE
bill nye the racing guy!
Mack Dabbie in present day that is not lol
next do one about racing lines or difference in driving styles of FWD/RWD/AWD
+jhowe427 that would be awesome :)
+jhowe427 Great ideas, jhowe427, we will! Thanks. Stay onlined w MT
+Randy Pobst As if you didn't think of that, it's the name of the show! lol
+lolz larkin that didn't even occur to me until you pointed it out.
+Randy Pobst That's awesome, looking forward to it.Any chance car setups for track use will feature? I mean basic stuff, alignment, tyre pressure etc.
Already, one of the best Auto shows on UA-cam. Sense of humor, not dry, informative, demos, overall good production value.
Randy's presentation and personality really made this video worth watching, even though it was on a topic I know quite well. Given how many racecar drivers seem awkward in front of the camera, it's surprising that you seem so calm and natural. Kudos Mr Pobst!
Yes, thats very true because Randy has a great sense of humor
I love how when Randy refers to crashing the video cuts to David Freiberger............
it does?
+acerdavidii instead of when randy himself went off at pikes peak not very long ago.. LOL but this was beautifully done, huge fan of randys, between this and road kill.. speaking of which needs to hurry up an come out.. motor trend is bout the only visual entertainment i care for
+acerdavidii Ahhhhhh mayzing!!!
+Jay Hagan When you're going that fast, a single small mistake will end you. That's exactly what happened. The fastest lap times are the ones that push the car *right* to the line without crossing it, and that requires nothing short of perfection. Driving is easy; driving very very fast is insanely difficult. The precision involved is mind-blowing. AWD cars like the GTR in particular are very unforgiving.
Pobst is a legend, but he's still only human, ya know?
Ik right
Randy is such a cool guy. Love this show!
10/10
Liked the editing, and the host.
Absolutely engaging
Pobst is media gold Motor Trend. Keep this guy in front on the camera and behind the wheel. I'll watch every episode.
only presenter on motortrend who deserves the thumbs up
The Pobst has a new show!! AH YISSSSSS!!!
This is probably the best overall video you guys have ever posted in terms of script, editing, production, and talent. With the bonus of being educational!
I love roadkill like everyone else, but this was everything all in one. Good job MT, Randy and behind the scenes staff.
Very smart of Tire Rack to sponsor this. They did their responsible 30 seconds, but all the rest of the time Randy made us want oversteer more than breathing. Tons of smoky, cool oversteer = big sales for Tire Rack. Be cool, oversteer, be a hero.
This is great! Randy has always been great on Motor Trend and finally he has his own show.
It was about time we saw Randy on his own series...just like Ignition I am going to watch this religiously.
Finally! Mr. Randy Pobst makes your videos amazing - no offense journalists. I'm a road racer, and I love that Randy can explain things in a way that any driver at any level can benefit from. More Randy, please.
So awesome that they gave Randy his own show. Can't wait to see more.
Randy Is the real deal!
Randy and Road Kill..... My Favorites!
This show is just awesome! Funny, entertaining, has an awesome host who is knowledgeable and skillful. Easily one of the best shows on Motor Trend and does so without making it appear as though it is an advertisement appeasing to specific brands/companies. Keep up the good work Randy!
Finally a show where a racing driver takes the script. Very nice Motor Trend
From an Autocrosser to pro racing driver to his own show! Makes me smile!!
Awesome new show! Thanks MT!
Nothing better than snow drifting with a truck. :)
+FutureMarinecuv902 Sand's better, ;)
+MEno Gusta but when they get in your intake and mess up your brakes and body, you fked up
Tommy Le In a truck? Never. My familiy has put maybe 5k sand miles on the family truck, with NO maintenance (I know.), and she drives like new(ish). Only problem is that the frame's a little surface rusty, but that's from dipping into the ocean and such and we're getting a new truck next year anyway...
+FutureMarinecuv902 concrete pump truck lol
+FutureMarinecuv902 Asphalt is better. More smoke.
This is one of my favourite episode from Motor Trend, please keep this series going
I was really sad to see Carlos leave the channel, but Randy is a legend and excellent in front of the camera. While no one can replace the handsome entertainer that Mr.Lago is, giving Randy his own show is definitely a great move by Motortrend. FAITH RESTORED
Randy Pobst is so cool :D I wanna be like him when I'm older LOL
Randy is cool+ he knows his shit. = Good show
What I wouldn't give for a day on the track with Randy. It wouldn't even have to be something with cars, you know Randy is just awesome to hang out with.
More Randy Pobst please.
I've always enjoyed it when he pops up on the MT channel, but he really shines with his own platform.
Getting my first rwd car tomorrow, timely video.
+Cornwall1888 if I may ask. What car will you be getting???
Yeah, whatcha getting?
good luck wrapping it around that tree
Z4 3.0i, I'll leave the drifting to the experts.
Two two one two . How doom hold heat and preach non violence
So useful!and funny too..!great vid!
I just watched an episode where Randy was like a guest driver and told myself this guy needs his own show. Awesome
As soon as I saw the words "The racing line part 1", I knew this was Randy's new segment. It's fantastic.
Great show, Schneider National (Trucking Company) used to have a skid pad to teach truck (semi) drivers how to recover from a skid, exact same no brakes no gas and steer to where you want to go, the fist time they induced the skid it scared the crap out of me, but after a few try's it actually felt comfortable. Had to use it one time and it worked.
Randy Pobst as a host?! Oh man, I'm not missing a single episode!!
@motortrend @randypobst YAAAAS! more of Randy on his own web show. I like how its super entertaining, and doesn't give you that "stop talking to me like a noob" feeling on subjects you may already be informed about. This one is a keeper, super stoked for more episodes.
I'm glad Randy has his own show now, and it is educational while being entertaining like an older Mythbuster episode.
Who need Top Gear when this show is on?
Keep making new episodes MT (and Randy); you're doing a excellent job!
Scary: understeer > oversteer
I agree. I hate when understeer is described as inherently safer.
Bc for sure face first into a forest is safer then ass end first... What with that cushy whiplash
I agree that understeer is scarier, but I'd rather be hit in the front than the sides
Understeer scares the driver. Oversteer scares the passenger.
N
Randy remains the only reason why I sub to this channel after Carlos left. Glad he has his own show.
“Keep you’re eyes on where you want to go, not at what your afraid you might hit”
Wise word
I LOVED THIS
It's about time Randy had his own show. Happy Dancin'!
Randy has his own show?!?!?This is something I never knew I wanted! Awesome!
Randy is a class act. Looking forward to more shows.
Don't spare the nerdy details Randy. For example in this episodes you can talk about the springs, bounce back, shifting weight. You have a ton a knowledge and we'd love to learn from you.
4:23 I wanted a wine bottle when this part played. Loved it
Randy Pobst is the fucking man!
The down votes on this video must be from Fail Wheel Drive enthusiast.
This show is the best Motor Trend has so far!
Why do I like this new show? It's Randy!
Another perfect hit - and Randy is a fantastic host. Roadkill and Racing Line for the win!
Not sure about the title, but great job on your first episode, Randy's a nice guy and the shots are very good. Keep it up!
Give this guy more exposure, he's genuine and likeable!
I had the pleasure of meeting Randy at Caffeine and Octane in Atlanta back in early Spring. He's a kind and considerate person, and I look forward to seeing more of his insightful and interesting perspectives on MT's channel.
Woooow more Randy, I love motortrend..... PS I see you got a proper drifter.
This guy is the Bill Nye or Alton Brown of the car world. I love watching him, very informative, easy to watch, great guy.
Finally! Was looking forward to seeing Randy have his own part in the Motor Trend Channel! Seeing him in Roadkill and Ignition is always great! Can't wait for the next one!
This was such a well produced video! Perfect balance of comedy, quality and information. Very cool
Congrats Randy, well done and well deserved. 'Bout time.
Hey Hey! Mr. Post, thank you. A perfect role, I'd say.
Damn autocorrect...
+ChrisHallett83 Thanks, Chris
Terribly sorry Mr. Pobst! Autocorrect got me twice!
If Randy is going to host this show i will be happy to watch it over and over again!
Was smiling the whole time watching. Never been more excited for more web episodes!!!
YEA HE HAS HIS SHOW DOE THAT'S SICK
I know this dude from Roadkill
I'm glad you gave Randy a show of his own. Congrats !
This show has massive potential. Please don't dumb it down for the standard viewer. I want as much racing geeky details, as possible, to improve my lap times with milliseconds! :)
why is his hood open at the ebd
+Julian Johanson letting the turbos cool down i assume
+Julian Johanson Oops. Nice catch, Julian. We shot a longer scene and cut it down.
+Dino Matic Thats really not necessary, the car is designed to manage itself.
+Randy Pobst Haha, I thought it was intentional! I just assumed it was supposed to visually represent taking too much of your "party drug" and needing to cool off!
+Bairdogg there's no technology that can keep a car cooled after a session of high performance driving. There is no downside to opening the hood anyways
This is amazing. Randy all day every day.
Stoked for this series!
Motor Trend,
Thank you for giving one of the best, brightest, most thoughtful personalities in this industry the platform he deserves and more importantly the content the community desperately needs.
The production quality was excellent, and the writing on point with nice quick beats. It is like an automotive version of Alton Brown's "Good Eats". Pobst even looks a little like Alton.
Here is to hoping this show lives up to its potential. You guys are doing arguably the best mainstream automotive content right now and the fact that this got made is a clear indicator that someone with half a brain is in control. I can't wait to see what's next.
---------
Pobst,
You are awesome.
From kicking cones with a golf in a parking lot to whipping an M5 up up pikes peak in one of the greatest (and unfortunately least remembered) race series in history, you have had one of the coolest careers I can think of. The kind of career with a transparent narrative an amateur like me can look at and think, if even for a second, that I could play ball too if only I put my mind to it. The fact is, I probably can't, but the only way I'll ever find out is if I get to the track and try. Forget those F1 divas and 1%er gentleman drivers, that makes you a true inspiration.
It has been awesome watching your presenting chops/on screen personality develop over the past few years with MT. I am incredibly happy that you now have a platform to yourself. I can only imagine it having a net positive impact on the industry and community.
Thanks and I can't wait to see the next episode.
what happened to clutch kicking and power shifting??
+zombiecheef DCT transmissions.
+Scott Moore dual clutch transmission transmissions?
+zombiecheef If you look at technique #4 there is a brief cutscene of him pulling the handbrake, and there is a manual shifter. they probably decided to leave out clutches for this video for simplicity.
But most importantly you need a locking rear diff... or snow or rain, otherwise on the dry drifting with an open diff is very hard
You need RWD car first. :(

I'm SO happy to see Randy has a show now!! Thanks Motor Trend!!
More of this show and Randy!!! More of this show and Randy!!! More of this show and Randy!!! More of this show and Randy!!! More of this show and Randy!!! More of this show and Randy!!! More of this show and Randy!!!
Randy is such a cool guy
The scariest thing that can happen in a car is trying to drift a FWD.
This show is making Randy a better driver. But do the same comparison on a loose surface with a driver who's familiar with the technique and see which is faster.
I think Grip racing is still faster
Randy is the man! Who knew he was so funny. Im looking forward to this series, I hope it continues.
New favorite show on Motor Trend. This guy is a boss. GREAT HOST

If I see Randy Pobst, I hit like.
hell yes, make as many racing line episodes as randy will do. will be the best show since roadkill.
Finally Randy got his own show! Awesome job! love his racing insight.
4:17 WATATATATAT LOL
LOL I bet this series gonna produce some quality YTP fuel :D
Yes, please do more! Randy, you are a fantastic host and kudos to the editors for the diagrams.
I love all these new shows, keep em coming
He forgot clutch kick for newbies and under powered cars
What's that?
@@xhsxspectre you would press the clutch for the engine to rev and then release it brutally
@@charbelalam2648 you mean a clutch dump 😂
Oversteer is something you see a lot of in the god Chris Harris' videos
Top notch, veteran driver Randy Pobst making tiresqueely noises while he plows a toy car across a chalkboard. Classic.
So much YES for this series.
3:25 He says to stay away from the pedals. So if you're driving and the car oversteers do you let off the pedals or just keep on them with the same pressure? Isn't there something called "lift off oversteer" when you lift off the gas and the weight moves towards the front? What about with a manual car? Should you do anything with the clutch?
Don't touch the clutch during an oversteer! That is suicide! It would be the same as shifting to neutral in an automatic.
What you're supposed to do is "neutral throttle". Which means to back of the throttle to the point where you hold the same speed(neither accelerating nor deceleratting A.K.A coasting). What you said is true, and coming off the throttle in certain cars will produce "lift-off oversteer".
The rear engine RWD Porsche is the best example of a car that will lift off oversteer *very* easily.
Incorrect use of the pedals like instantly getting off the gas in some cars will cause snap overseer. Some if not most slides you need to power through, preferably keeping around the same amount of gas as you had before. If you are on a loose surface soft application of the brake can settle the car back down and is a great way to regain control and reduce wheel spin, but still stay on the gas. Not so much on pavement though.
What about clutch kick
its an auto.
I can't believe how great a track makes out to be a classroom haha. The scenery is so fitting. 0:53
They finally did it! They finally gave Randy a show!!!!! YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
omg hes the automotive version of Bill Nye!
Now this is a channel I call a "Real men´s channel"! I just unsubscribed from CNET because it was too girly!....It was all about groupies crying and complaining just because a guy called "Cooley" wasn´t the presenter.
Love this type of shows!! Very educational and funny. Keep it up!!
Been a fan of motor trend for years now love the new addition to the channel
Why the GTR is a shit and boring car to drive. Can't have this amount of fun in that computer box. This video is its wet dream.
+MOPAR Or No Car / ABRAMS Or No Tank Have you ever driven one?
+MOPAR Or No Car / ABRAMS Or No Tank why would it be boring to drive? yes, it may have all the futuristic electronic wizzardy stuff but as i watched the gtr reviews, you really need to drive it to experience it, its not boring, but too much perfect, and it surely made a trend in doing so (the 918, la ferrari and the p1 for an example)
thats not true,im a muscle guy but those gtr's can do some cool shit and in some ways be more fun then my hot rod
Mike Hammond you follow carthrottle?
you can disengage the track control and adjust for a rear bias with the gtr
