Supposedly it was Harris who pushed /Drive to go YouTube+, then bailed on everyone when it wasn't bringing in the $ he (and probably everyone else) had envisioned.

Just rumors, but who knows. /Drive is no longer YouTube+ as far as I know.

He's got a good relationship with Porsche and it looks like he's restored a relationship with Ferrari.

As for others talking about the drifting, he seems to do a real lap first, then he'll blow out the tires from the videos I've seen.

Maybe he should get together with Carlos Lagos and someone else and partnership up for Top Gear challenger here in the US. Or, maybe he's better off solo seeing what happened with Drive. Whatever, his videos are entertaining and I hope to see more of it.
I find Carlos Lagos boring.

He reminds me of Ben Affleck who I agree is boring. At least CL is a GT3 fan.

Dan (thinks he'll make for a horrible Batman like he was as Dare Devil, and Adam West rocked )

He really is great to watch.. I really like his videos.
To all current GT3 owners: Is it as easy to drift this car as he makes it seem in the video?
