Of all the things Richard could do, of all the things he has done, providing this gift of motorsport passion and then being able to share in it will probably be his personal crowning achievement. I can't imagine the sense of pride he has beaming from his face watching his daughter evolve into this. And we get to be front row to such a wonder. Well done, Richard. Well done.

[@buzzinalong7163]

Izzy is growing into a terrific presenter. She is funny and likeable with clear grit and a competitive streak in her. Very entertaining and I cannot wait to see more.

[@Trespas]

Izzy is the best thing that happened to Drivetribe. These videos are really fun

[@alfiewoodlow7574]

Totally disagree bring back old times

[@Trespas]

​@@alfiewoodlow7574 For me, the old times equal to less content. Progress and more Drivetribe is better. With Izzy and some other people being brought in front of camera, we can have more fun content. This is not directly related to your comment, so I don't assume you have an issue with anything I'm saying below. Just came to mind. I think it's refreshing to see a new generation of people take on motoring. Also, in a way, there's a new perspective - not just coming from "outside the car world", but to paraphrase what Izzy said in this video: Car stuff isn't just for guys. So yea, have more Izzy, Abbie, Tati and others. Heck, try to get someone like @EmeliaHartford to do a collab with Izzy. That would be fun. Background: I do some work in the motorsport world, especially in different Rally series and offroad stuff. Not the hobby leagues, with official series. Every time I see the womens category (if there is a separate one) participant list only having something like 2 teams, it bums me out.

[@jhsigmund]

this screams of old top gear nostalgia, with the addition of a really cool parent-child relationship. fricken legends.

[@Dangeresque14]

As a parent, I love the look of pride in Richard's face!

[@shortmonk95]

Imma say it... Izzy is literally the female version of richard with a pinch of Jeremy Clarkson. I know there's no relation but that much influence around her family over the years it seems there's a little pinch of something on the "Powerrrr" side. Also... its fucking brilliant to see her absolutely schooling her dad on how to drive on a track. Keep it up Izzy.. absolute asset to the drivetribe channel

As a 22 year old girl who also only recently discovered her love for cars myself, I totally understand Izzy. Deep down, that love has always been there. With society's standards pressing on you it just takes a little longer before you finally figure that out.

[@79messias]

Yeah… society and stuff …. Girl power right? Only you stop yourself, not anyone else. Glad you found your passion, but as a man, I am getting pretty fed up with this tale of everyone else being the issue for women not succeeding or following certain paths. You literally have all the opportunities to do what you want, and even have quotas in certain areas. So can we please move on from this “society” bs.

[@michaelbeahn5977]

As a father of two daughters this makes me so so happy. I can totally get that you’ve always had that love. And I’m a 50 year old male who…..just can’t figure out why you shouldn’t have and embrace that passion. All the best to you !

[@redtailpunk]

there's always a massive joy in watching someone improve but watching it happen with someone who wasn't sure of herself in this space do all this with her father and friends is special. absolutely loving this. watch Izzy go!

[@mtevilone]

The Helmet Tap at 9:45 was very reminiscent of when Hammond beat the German presenter in Top Gear England vs Germany episode.

[@Dakiraun]

Izzy's transformation from _slight_ interest to full on racer and enthusiast has been amazing (and _fast_ ). Won't be very long before she's slapping her Dad's helmet instead and doing a victory dance. Also, gotta _love_ at the end there where just after Richard makes the comment about Izzy's happy smiling face, he passes her to the sight of her giving him the bird. XD haha! Fantastic.

[@PortuguesePirate99]

As someone who had watched the Hamster literally since i was bout 4 ish😂 Never ever expected him to get a driving lesson from Izzy on how to take corners and not to change gears early etc haha

[@unique.handle]

He probably didn't want to use high revs and stress the engine given she told him not to break it so many times. He still broke the throttle though 😂

[@KevWilOG]

As a father, same age as Richard, with a son the same age as Izzy, I'm LOVING this. It's so wonderful watching the next generation come alive. I can't put into words the joy this brings. Get Tati on board, monthly training sessions with Abby, and start planning Top Gear 2.0!

[@zzapel22]

11:34 YES girl!! This speaks to me so much. It's not expected, it's not encouraged, society doesn't pitch it to you as an option growing up; you don't see other women doing it, which tells your young, impressionable self that it's just not an accessible thing for women to do. The desire is never considered because you can never see yourself in their shoes, because they don't look like you, and you can't identify with them. I see you girly. Since I've been seeing more of you driving and in my KZbin feed, I've pictured myself being able to do that. You're bubbly, genuine, enthusiastic, and willing to learn and ask questions, which I identify with. I've always loved driving fast, but racing was never something girls were "allowed" to do. In 2 weeks, I'll be starting with an established amateur endurance race team, and I'm so incredibly excited about it. Thank you for being inspiring, and your relatable self!! Seriously cannot wait for more content from you 🏎💙💙💛🤍

[@JohnHanson-r1z]

Like your comments. It’s the same in motorcycle racing. But at long last there’s Cloe Jones who has been up front in the 600 class and now going to the world championships so there is at last a chance all women in any racing are taken seriously rather than being making up the numbers

[@suckieduckie]

@@JohnHanson-r1z I can imagine motorcycles are even more physically demanding than high end race cars. Wouldn't it be a significant disadvantage for women at MotoGP level?

[@Thisath100]

It has been so great to see more and more women taking their place in the culture. Always thought it was so silly that women didn't feel like they could express a love for cars. I remember over the years I've had conversations with female friends who unfortunately (albeit passively) see being into cars as a boy thing. It's been nice to have people to point to show that's just not the case!

[@c0mpl3x91]

It's also connected to risk, we guys tend to go more towards risk and that's biology and brianwired nothing related to society though (the point I just made) the rest you said is also right
