Jus grab it laters from in HD from {insert filesharing app name here} .

well Ken Block filmed his go around the TG Test track the other week when he was over here i think and that will look awesome in HD.

Nice!

i mean in his Impreza not in the Chavvy La Shitti

Awesome

Oh this will be awesome.. Except my only source of Top Gear is filesharing, since TV here is 2 seasons behind (and HD TV is close to non-existant yet) :/ That means I will probably have to download files several times bigger

That guy's screams were awesome.

ive just seen that Ken Block is 41, i thought he was waaaay younger than that, and i also didnt know he was the co founder of DC Shoes

41? Shiiyaat..

Excellent news, there is a serious lack of HD content ATM, especially motorsport, neither F1 or BTCC is broadcast in HD, infact, the only series that is always in HD is WTCC, and sometimes WSBK and MotoGP in Eurosport HD

Wouldn't MotoGP be upscaled? F1 might be in HD next year (some people would want the word "will" in there but it's a believe it when I see it) and ITV wouldn't do BTCC as it's already on a shoestring budget.

Depends on the country it's in, sometimes it's broadcast in "Native HD" (which I am pretty sure means they are broadcasting it in 1080p), the times its not, it either upscaled, or not shown on Eurosport HD

i wanted to ask
when that dude block goes powersliding

how repeatable is it? can he just go in and out of that hangar (iirc) until his tires give up or is there some chance he will screw up?

just asking

i can correct minor to medium understeer in my lancia and minor oversteer (can't manage medium oversteer yet. maybe the steering is too slow for this to work)

Looking at the amount of skidmarks he leaves behind - he screws up. a lot.
