Yep. And now he's anointed by mclaren. Lots of the manufacturers are latching on to online celebs. Mclaren recently took jww to the snow on a "road trip"

They give the youtuber "celebs" the road sections but keep them off the track I've noticed. I guess that they don't rate their driving skills at a high enough level to show off the cars properly.

I noticed that McLaren must have given them all stock footage of the cars drifting and other "spectacular" stuff on the circuit as all reviews had the same footage. Didn't see any non stock drifting footage as far as I can recall.

All done by Chris Goodwin from what I can gather, so yes, even the proper journos didn't get much of a chance to show off their "skills" to camera.

Not possible on the 720 as the doors hinge from the centre spine that runs right where the scoop would go.

The general public is a terrible barometer of taste. Trust your own sensibilities.

This should have been the new NSX in my opinion.
