Chris Harris - Pilgrimage to Le Mans
Another orphaned episode of Drive. It's not available anywhere else and it has Porsche content so I posted it on Streamable. It's divided up into 8 segments.
This one-hour, Season 5, Episode 7 finale is a scenic road trip to Le Mans through Europe. Chris Harris picks up a Ferrari 488 GTB Spider in Italy, Mike Spinelli in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS starts from Germany, and Zack Klapman travels from England in an Aston Martin Vantage.
Segment 1: Mike Spinelli picks up his GT3 RS in Stuttgart and begins his journey on the Autobahn. Harris is in Maranello to collect his Spider and have a bit of lunch.

Segment 2: Zack Klapman is at the Aston Martin factory in Gaydon to pick up his Vantage. Mike gets up to speed on the Autobahn. Chris stops for coffee.

NBC Universal doesn't know what to do with the property. Everyone wanted a Top Gear clone but didn't really know what made it work or how to market. NBC bought the rights from the BBC and created a pilot for 'Gear' with Adam Carolla as host. After NBC's disastrous reboot of Knight Rider they got cold feet on 'another car show' and ended the deal. Then Disney bought the rights to create Top Gear America. They changed the host to Adam Ferrara but instead of airing on ABC they buried it on the History Channel. NBC had another rethink and teamed up with YouTube to create original content. They got Mike Spinelli from Jalopnik, Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire, and Chris Harris (the only smart move). They launched Drive on YouTube with a companion TV show except instead of putting it on NBC they relegated it to NBCSN. Then the put up a paywall on the YouTube channel and created Drive Plus (the first Drive Plus video was of two Sharkwerks GT3s). Viewership dried up, Chris Harris left the YouTube Drive but was still under contract with the NBC Drive. Eventually new content to Drive Plus stopped and NBC ended it's collaboration with YouTube. They pulled a lot of videos (which is why I didn't post on YouTube) and made them for sale on Amazon. I think they wanted to build a subscription model for the channel on Amazon but they haven't added any content since it launched. So now Drive is a zombie show. It seems no executive wants to kill it and no executive knows how to promote it.
TL;DR: Monkeys fu**ing a football.

GOD BLESS YOU! I've been trying to find these episodes for months with no success until now. I have no idea why you can't find them anywhere. I'm curious on how you got a hold of them? Also, do you have any more episodes from the later seasons? Anyway thanks again!

Not really. I just saved some Porsche related content. The first four seasons are for sale on Amazon Prime. They still made some new episodes last year. They were on season six and a few episodes popped up on my DVR. I'll PM you a link to Pilgrimage.
