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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
