Daniel Abt Does First English Vlog Ahead of Formula E

Daniel Abt, of ABT Sportsline and Formula E fame, spends a lot of his time off the track making videos with some pretty, outrageous, and deeply desirable cars. Not being a German-speaker, I find these videos very frustrating.

The good news, though, is that for the first time ever, Abt decided to record a vlog in English so that the English speaking woportrld could finally follow his adventures. And right off the bat there’s a profoundly shocking revelation: Abt says that his German videos are funny, which I wasn’t aware was possible.

Regardless, Abt filmed this vlog during his walkaround of the Formula E track in Buenos Aires ahead of the Argentinian e-Prix last weekend, a race that he would eventually finish in seventh place.

In the video, Abt, goes through what he and other drivers are looking for during the track walk. Corner four, for instance, has a crosswalk ahead of it, which Abt explains could become slippery in the rain. He also shows us where he crashed two years ago.

Later on, Abt introduces us to the Team ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport support crew and his teammate Lucas Di Grasi. In all it’s a pretty interesting look at the day in the life of a Formula E driver, but I’m still waiting on an English video from the cockpit of an ABT Golf 7 GTD.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
