      @bencollinsdrives what if we have just witnessed a new Form of TG? It bl**dy works, all these YTs are great and produce what is, modern content, content we want to watch in their own right, and are/becoming the new hero’s around cars, if I ever meet these guys I want an selfie, it’s celeb status in fact. But having a meet up from time to time to do this fun stuff, works so well, and has a great nostalgic feel to it at the same time, that we all know and love, well done mr Collins making it happen!

      No Ben Collins makes good interesting videos TH-cam could never kill off live schedule TV I can't believe people actually stupid enough to think that. Also one of the glaring problems with TH-cam videos even Ben Collins or drivetribe is there all too short this particular video was perfect the way it was. But it would never replace the level of interest that a program like top gear or grand tour producers. At the end of the day whilst kids nowadays like all these short tiktok videos they are short live and they won't live on end of story because people want programs that last more than 12 minutes

      ​@@BenCollinsDrivesyes TH-cam does rock. But please as well as these short videos for normal people that have a brain and concentration span can you make some actual programs that are longer than 12 15 minutes. And don't discount television television will never die it will always be more popular than the internet. And I'm sure you could get a TV series which is what you need and what we need. Because TH-cam videos whilst being amazing I generally not as well produced and way way too short. Because you make such interesting videos it's incredibly frustrating that they are too short

    Matt is up there above everyone on the standard board, and within a hair of many of the worlds best drivers for dry lap times.
    Considering he suffered in a few places from the faulty brakes, and never got that 2nd to last corner right, his time is seriously impressive. This kind of challenge levels the playing field, and Matt clearly has the mindset to compete at the top. Well done Matt.

      Did Matt go around the actual track though without cutting corners etc? It seems fairly evident that the way he was driving he was leaving seconds on the track suggesting that the old leader board isn't really comparable. In fact I'd be willing to bet at least 75% of the difference between this pairs laps were down to the self evidently "just about to die" engine the first car had. Ben kept telling him he was in 5th and he was saying the car had no power...then they swapped and it died completely.

    You got to admit for a person who hadn`t been on the track before to do a lap that was within a second of yours ben was awesome. Yeah Matt is mental, a very good video enjoyed all of it and seeing Tavarish`s lap also. a big thanks.

I dont know about legal stuff and funds but imagine getting the same camera shots as the show did, and a TH-camr's time board. Maybe get subscribers to win a place on the board as well.

    Can definitely see a series if that’s possible (and I don’t mean how many times can Mat break and fix the same car - great skills though Mat, rough diamond there).
    As well as names already mentioned - how about your mates Freddie, I’m sure Tyler and Ed would love it too.

    Amazing series potential Ben, would love to see the Auto Alex group on, (Alex, Taylor, Tom lenthal, TDC etc..) it’s strange, I never particularly liked the interview sections of the original show, but with you hosting it’s given me nostalgia for the track and angles, yet improved on the original format, Long live The Sitg, Dunsfold, and the Liana
