I don't get to see enough of it! I really love the series. I've even gotten to where I enjoy Leo Parente's coverage. It was hard for me to get adjusted to his style during the original episodes, but I like having his point of view on the series and he knows some serious guys in the racing community.

I never thought much of Leo until I first worked with him. Now?

Well, let me just say this. He doesn't just know some serious guys in the racing community, he IS a serious guy in the racing community. Guy's amazing.

I really enjoyed him running Lime Rock in the Lotus. I don't get to actually partake in real life motorsports around road courses because they're too far away and costs me too much bloody money as a college student. That will hopefully be taken care of after I finish my mechanical engineering degree this next year...

But I use to run hundreds of laps around LRP in momentum and also brute power cars against friends from all of the US. The most fun we had was with the momentum cars, you knew you were doing the corners perfectly if you were getting a little air after hitting the crest!

Makes me think of this, full of shenanigans in the postie bike challenge at the Top Gear Festival in Sydney:

I've gotten to the point where I am absolutely obsessed with Drive. I got to meet Leo last week at JFF Day one and he seemed like a very nice guy. The only series on Drive I'm not a huge fan of is Big Muscle. Not because of how that program is operated, but more because I don't have much interest in what is discussed, unfortunately.

I also wish they would bring back Alex Roy, and give Mike and JF more airtime.
