Gave the the chills when i saw the #95 car, after the horrific accident at Le Mans last year. Nice video P1!

[@JeffBeresford]

This one has spikes! Oh dear ...

[@admiralfloofz658]

I would pay money to work at a place like that

[@iliqfiliq2226]

i will work without mounth payment

[@Nich_Pavelow]

Kristoffer Lilja rite!!!!! Dammit man, what a job to have!!!

[@arronjones6985]

I did. 😏 Was there for about 4 years building gt3's! It was quite honestly the best job iv ever had. When I look back now I wish I was still there. I. Even n ths video for a brief second🤣

[@TorontoDrivingVideos]

She did a great job, and is a perfect host. A host should talk little and let the person being interviewed do the talking...which is exactly what she did.

[@allanmacbadger5692]

+crxtech1 Absolutely agree. There as some dim £uckers commenting about her lack on knowledge but if they had 2 brain cells to rub together they would then realise the film has been produced from a novices point of view and there would be little benefit of the host being Ross Brawn and asking in depth technical questions.

[@lewistaylor8262]

No, she isn't. She has barely any knowledge of the subject matter, presses for the wrong questions, doesn't explain the information she's given (Because she hasn't done any research) and doesn't push the interviewee for any further information. She's a clueless amateur

[@TorontoDrivingVideos]

Sorry Lewis you are the one who is clueless as she doesn't have to have any knowledge because she has such a knowledgeable person representing their product. She asks a simple question and he goes in depth on his own. Just look at the video titled "Ludicrous Race Car Tesla Model S P90D takes on the Pikes Peak Hill Climb" this is a great video showing again the journalist does not have to have any knowledge when the person they are interviewing is willing to talk and go into detail. Why should she explain the information she is given? Everything he said was perfectly clear and easy to understand.

[@mj68874]

crxtech1 no she's terrible. She's asking stupid questions. She obviously doesn't know a lot about racing or cars. She tires hard but she wastes time by asking stupid unnecessary questions we know the answer to or don't want to know.

[@vijaystan936]

the amount of expertise applied is insane

[@explosivehotdogs]

8:56 now that's a proper way of doing things

[@Devil2k81]

RIP Allan Simonsen

[@harezy]

7:50 I made those front hub assemblies I did all the Turning !!

[@MikeSnow9]

£550,000?...I think I've got £1.30 in loose change here...Well, it's a start :-)

[@stephenrome8295]

still need pay tax to lol

[@michaelwindsurfer54]

r.i.p allan simonsen

[@ranimartinez1375]

Very patient man, thank you I enjoyed that.

[@andreasjager1969]

Guys, the spikes thing was a joke so calm down you butthurts ;D

[@captainsoftheazulcarrib7491]

Outstanding!👍🏻

[@danielhcdeath-eater258]

I came here to find out whats the difference between the Vantage GTE and Vantage GT3, all they said was the former is more complicated (We wont' get in to that, that gets very complicated) less power and more expensive. He refused to explain further because the host is too clueless to understand... Our loss really

[@after_midnight9592]

+L HC It's mostly down to bureaucracy and specific rules for GTE class, which is more restrictive than GT3. So you have different engine restrictors, aerodynamics, power, weight, maybe some electronic,...

[@MadJDMTurboBoost]

Dude it was clearly explained. GTE engine has spikes.

[@77oxf]

GTE has a lot more body aero (particularly front and rear diffusers)

[@metronemy]

Why don't they use a host that actually know a fucking thing about cars.

[@bradlee14181]

Excellent job. Keep 'em coming

[@signorpippistrello]

Goodness me is that the Simonsen car? The video was uploaded in 2014 almost a year after the crash.... I‘m confused.

[@tominauh]

Great video Guys! Keep it up.

[@timetrialist]

i love aston martins

[@MsRom95]

Aston Martin

[@HakiZ748]

Hold together by GLUE??? O_o ... well, ok if it works. :P

[@angus3963]

+MrHaagiz Lotus Elise/Evora and most fighter jets/commercial airliners use the same technique.

[@AceSeptre]

I'll be honest.......the whole "Aston Martins are held together by glue" is not a great sales pitch. I'm sure it's strong stuff, but I guarantee that 9/10 people would hear that and imagine a bunch of technicians with Elmer's Glue just sticking a car together like an arts and crafts project.

[@hockey161616]

An Aston Martin* Not A.

[@foxwuj]

i work in a garage mainly serve super car and iconic classic car,,,, most people will never see a actual 1 in their life.... but i still got so sick of it even surround by all those beautiful cars. i wonder would i get sick working in prodrive i doubt it....

[@heatmakerairsoft]

Plot Twist!! They glue the cars will Flex Seal..

[@amitdabhi066]

Aston

[@FooFahFoeFum]

IMO the new 2019 Vantage road car is 300 pounds too heavy. Aston Martin should consider using some or more Magnesium in their chassis. Mag is 30% less heavy than Aluminium. ... A.M. should swallow their ego & pride and hire more Lotus engineers. as they are the experts in weight reduction.

[@77oxf]

I think that's because the regulations say it must be heavier

[@Nich_Pavelow]

Take note america!! The English don't call them MOTORS! they're engines! Lol funny how they can't say GTE lol gteeeee gtttttt gteeeee gttte 😂😂😂😂

[@ayamvr4258]

What happen to this channel? Its has potential...and now it dead

[@paulovalentim6854]

A great motorsport shop, and a reporter that dont know the diference between a car and a donkey...Shame... Ohh that one got spikes...Come on...

[@elijahm6006]

why would u use glue!!!!!!!??????

[@thehollowbox]

+Elijah Mills welding can add some unwanted weight and aluminium doesn't weld all that nicely. The aluminum oxide rust gives some problems. So many places use a chemically engineered glue to either provide a mechanical bond between the plates (basically the stickiness of the glue) or the paste can be engineered to bond the plates on a molecular level (tares electrons away from the aluminium forcing them to fuse together) Mind you. i am no expert at this but that's how the reasoning was explained to me. Hopefully i helped?

[@dons1932]

Because glue doesn't crack like welds can. It's aviation / aerospace technology. You can get incredibly high temp glues which hold stronger than steel welds and still have a certain degree of give.

[@MysticalRubix]

'fundamentally the same' over 1000 times.

[@ListlessSpectre]

looks like an angry catfish

[@KimchiPancake52]

Oh dear god... she doesn't even know that there's a difference between gt3, gt4 and gte... if she's hosting this then maybe my 82 year old granny can too

[@Nutguy95]

I'm not saying she is stupid or anything, but she knows almost nothing about cars...

[@calvindekoter2128]

She is clearly playing that up for the interview, which makes for better content for us! No one would be able to follow a conversation between two experts anyways.

[@jeremyhansen8186]

She obviously is not a gear head or petrol head, none the less there is no reason to be so ignorant when referencing her interview. That is someone's daughter, someone's wife or sister. It reveals how disgraceful ppl really are. When guys at work hoot and holler at women as they walk by I cringe bc I imagine it being my daughter or my wife, but when I have said as much I am ridiculed so I don't say anything anymore. I just watch as they reveal how repulsive they really are.

[@lucasdouble-u4010]

im sorry but 550.000£ for that much aluminium is verry overprised.

[@TheDuke245]

what the fuck is aliminum?? do you know what aliminum is??

[@americanpatriot3667]

It's aluminum but they say it differently

[@juanpedroza2216]

Why couldn’t they get someone that has some knowledge of cars so we wouldn’t cringe when she said oh this motor is different for it has spikes coming out of it 🙄🙄🙄 she gives blondes a bad name

[@GavrielRomero]

Nice blond girl, I could marry her anytime :D

[@brucekirk5386]

What's a SHASSHI OR ALUOMINUM? LOL

[@generivera28]

STOP INTERRUPTING HIM YOU DOMN BLONDY

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Diversity obsession vs experience and knowledge. Another ignorant presenter. Well done. Next time, don't pick someone who scores woke points and looks good for your publicity posters, pick the RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB.
