I love how this channel has cars as 'one of the subjects' to also keep it in tone with the Autoalex 'universe', but Jack and Ethan mostly let their adventurous side shine through. Makes it unique!
It's the greatest thing they could've done for their channel and I'm all for it. The dynamic between these two is just hilarious, and I'll be blunt and say we don't need ANOTHER car channel that buys cars and puts BC Racing coil overs on them. Having said that, I'd love to see the odd car video as Jack does actually know how to work on cars and Ethan can continue to be the butt of the joke as he's a non car guy!
@@xGeorge1337x We definitely need to see the old Porsche get worked on, and I would love to see them turn the Scarlet Steed into their 'expedition vehicle.'
@@iwanevans607 I'm honestly in love with TDC as well right now. Huge fan of Edwin, he's just this kid who has uncontained interest in cars and everything. And the contrast with Will who (tries) to contain him is just brilliant
The content has been absolutely amazing so far too, it's almost like it's the missing part of the AutoAlex road trip videos in a way too if that makes sense I'm with George too on the not needing another channel that just buys cars and puts BCs and wheels on them, TDC are already killing it with the toasty porsche too which is more competition, but we do need someone doing the simpler nuggety stuff, like the CT Golf and the scarlet steed, but I think this sort of video should be the bread and butter
MASSIVE props to Ethan who evidently had done tons of research prior to this video, so many interesting bits of knowledge and facts. Got to appreciate that sort of effort put into the videos. Well done mate x
the "rumble strips" on the south loop were suspension tests. the Ring was originally built from 1922 to 1927 to do vehicle testing, NOT racing. it was around for many years before it became popular as a racing facility. that hillclimb area, the tight bends, the high speed areas, and this bumpy bit, those were all meant to test different parts of the car. similar to VWs Erha-Lesseim facility, where the Bugattis do their top speed runs.
It was actually used for racing almost immediately. In June 1927, in the year the track was opened, they already hosted races for motorcycles and cars (the Eifelrennen). They kept doing that race every year until WW2, and continued afterwards.
I can genuinely say this is the first time in a long time I’ve seen a video about the Nürburgring that showed me something new that I had no idea about. The Nurburgring has been bled to death but you managed to do something new. Usually I have to see the name “Nurburgring” but this was great.
@@Chaln123 It's private property. If it were a public toll road, the Straßenverkehrsordnung (German traffic laws) would apply, including the 100 kph speed limit outside of towns.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo you are not entirely right. Bundesstraßen, Autobahnähnliche straßen, "Straßen mit Baulicher Trennung" for example are also not having any speed limits. The definition of autobahnähnlich is vague enough that having the whole track enclosed by guard-rails (bauliche trennung), having no crossings with other streets and having the correct street signs already counts.
The small "concrete loop" was known as the Batonshleife and it was used to warm the tyres before races and the combination of both the Sudshleife and Nordshleife was called the Gasemtstrecke which stands for total distance. And i'd love more of this. 👌🏻
This channel is really turning into something special. It has the cars and the banter, but it’s also a little deeper. In the old days of Top Gear, I could imagine a similar program with a section from Auto Alex, a section from All the Gear and a section from Top Dead Centre filling an hour just perfectly. Well done!
Ethan and Jack are great presenters. Nice to see a fresh channel with various ideas. How about a tour of UK visiting some of the magnificent bridges we have. As a bonus a budget car, go on then you can sleep in it on the trip
I can see this channel surpassing the others in the autoalex universe. Not only do they already have all of Alex's viewers, they also offer something for non car people. Great work lads. Loving it.
This is what I was doing prior to an injury, walking old forgotten tracks and finding hidden gems. Love the energy guys, if you ever make it to Australia keep the explorers hats on.
Yes, more themed history and locations. I love how this channels developing, all the auto alex channels are pretty entertaining but you both are smashing it.
This is exactly the content I love to see from your part of the autoalex extended universe, this was a genuinely interesting and enjoyable video to watch guys and I hope you keep it up 😁👍
I love the concept of this channel. Take us on adventures! I personally love the idea of interesting locations with history and facts about them! Castles, Race tracks, abandoned locations would be super cool!
These travelogues are really good. Most enjoyable. I wonder if those granite blocks set somewhat unequally (10:40) are for manufacturers to test their cars’ suspension?
i think you're right, good shout mate, perhaps a testing ground after its racing days and before it shut.i have tested a few military vehicles at millbrook proving groups in a previous life and they had the same thing, but more of them
You should do the Targa Florio someday. Not all of the track is accessible from what I've heard, but still - cool place with a lot of motoring history. And sunshine.
Great video. Love the variety on this channel. And the 2 main presenters are highly watchable and come over as the sort of chaps I'd be happy to have as friends in real life.
What a fantastic concept! additional editing investment with footage from the period would take it to the next level. Now and then image comparisons etc.
Abandoned stuff in general would be great!! Most people sneak into places to explore but if you managed to get permitted access to places exactly like this would be cool!
Looking at more abandoned race tracks sounds like a neat idea But maybe next time bring a Motocompo or something, hahaha (no joke, Motocompo on abandoned track would be good content)
Thoroughly enjoying the adventure exploring you're doing, and at the level you're doing it (no need for jumping off cliffs etc). The car theme is just right too. How about a trevel around Jersey next - there's some pretty decent history there for sure, and the soft facts are perfect Sunday morning watching!
I enjoyed this quite a bit and I really appreciate the angle of your channel. I would love to see more videos like this showing the other parts of other tracks. I also enjoyed the Iceland trip. Good job fellas.
Fan of you guys doing hidden gems! To be honest, just keep doing what you're doing. It's just great watching you both have authentic fun; nice to see some life behind your eyes with the creative freedom you didn't get in the latter CT days.
Dudes seriously, that was such a good video, full of great stories and fantastic facts. I would never have known that scenery, heard those stories nor wanted to visit that path until I watched this. Cheers lads ,100% good content
Hell yeah guys! Doing more race track content is in keeping with where you guys came from, but adding the adventurous angle you're cutting out nicely. You could race the Sudschliefe in a rallycross car, perhaps? All the braps!
Just came back from the start of the US trip to see if i had missed anything. This was the only one. Top shelf stuff as usual lads. Don't mind a bit of very serious history story telling either. Keep it up.
i would love a series where you go to some race tracks in the UK and talk about their history etc. There are a lot of abandoned ones that have WW2 history
Really like these kind of videos. Please do more on historic car related places! Like the circuits, factories or landmarks. I'm sure there is a unique story too tell.
Superb video guys. I would love to see more of these history based videos at current and forgotten race tracks. Maybe even a collab with Auto Shenanagins?
I could watch hours of this kind of content. Nurburgring history is a real draw for me. I’m a massive petrolhead but a bit of a history nut so you’ve really hit the nail on the head. More of this please fellas!
Hey Ethan and Jack thanks for this video it was very interesting too hear about that man and his family living inside that tunnel for seven weeks during World War two and seeing the old race tracks.
Great video! I really like the idea of you guys exploring unknown things pertaining to motorsports, etc.. It was entertaining and informative to watch. I learned alot. God bless.
The old circuit at Spa is worth exploring and driving, as well as the circuit museum at Stavelot. Also try the coffee and cakes at Lily Delices in the old town square whilst there.
😊You should show AVUS, avus is an abandoned racetrack pre WW1 in Germany where some parts are now used as part of an autobahn, it had huge corners like NASCAR and long Straights for SPEED RECORDS ...love from Germany
Cool concept for the channel, more talking about all the things directly related to motorsports and motorsport tracks vs directly dealing with cars and racing!
This was actually very interesting to watch guys. I’ve been to the Ring before but had not seen those bits you just showed so I consider myself bombed with soft facts!! I hope you’ll continue taking interesting adventures like this in the future!

well, i guess it still serves as a huge testing facility for almost every performance car brand and shitbox owner
I thought they looked like suspension torture bumps..
It was actually used for racing almost immediately. In June 1927, in the year the track was opened, they already hosted races for motorcycles and cars (the Eifelrennen). They kept doing that race every year until WW2, and continued afterwards.
or millbrook which has a two-mile banked bowl, a mountain course etc etc

I didn’t know I’d like content that wasn’t purely about cars or bikes until these legends created All The Gear.
Calm down... Most is AI
I thought the channel was about drugs.
same my brother. loving it. im ashamed to say i was critical when they took so long to post their second video, but the wait was worth it.
Abandoned race tracks with history lessons would be pretty rad.
‘History circuit’ would make a good name for the series
Yep, that would be great to see!

You guys made the right decision to do your own channel! Massive props to you guys
Please do Reims for the next episode, the old pit garages are very famous! Would love to see you guys go there
That’s a great shout!
And it also has a tunnel underneath the track where people hid in WWII!
F_K yes!! So much heritage behind that track

i would love a series where you go to some race tracks in the UK and talk about their history etc. There are a lot of abandoned ones that have WW2 history
By a mile the best one you have done.. Loved it. Would love more like this with abandoned race tracks
