I actually find this video that @harrismonkey just uploaded on a review of the Pirelli's Trofeo R to see how much better it is than the standard rubber on the GT3 a bit more interesting.

(FWIW, it's a sponsored video, but then what in life isn't these days?)

I like him better than any other youtube reviewer, but I really wish he would stop drifting every car. There are more important things about a car than doing something no one should ever attempt on a public road.

Drifting gets views. More views means more $. Continue to drift.

It's amazing that a car like the GT3 doesn't even get third place in this rarified crowd. Good stuff. Chris Harris is quite awkward in person as good as he is solo in front of a camera isolated in a car.

I find his formula getting a bit tepid.

Not a complaint, but how many times is he going to review the same cars?

His formula is to just drift the car. I still like watching it, but it's tough to judge if his opinion is qualified. The upside with people like Randy Pobst for Motor Trend is that he'd a very good, well respected professional driver. His observations go beyond saying "this is mega" and "outrageous."
