    The fact the both Audi and Toyota have achieved so much success in Rally and WEC just shows the ability of both manufacturers to consistently innovate and optimize new ideas and technology

    toyota never did well at le mans against real competition, if they kept winning the race in hypercar after everyone started joining I'd agree, but that hasn't happened

    ​@@houseking9211 That is not very true, although no win at Le Mans to show for it they were at the same pace as the Porsche's and the Audi's, on less budget. Even lost the race once in the last 6 minutes(part of racing though). They did won the WEC btw. And many people forget that many of Audi's win are against non-competition too, much like Toyota's. Peugeot was also on a much lesser budget and made the Audi's work very hard for it, and even beat them once.

    Fantastic story yet again! The factual basis of the Audi success at Le Mans with the *diesel, and then the hybrid, is like a dream in itself, but then with the brilliant narration, from Marty's DeLorean all the way to Socrates (chickens before they hatch), makes it all well worth the watching. If I might risk being too personal as an Australian who raced minibikes in the '70s as a kid and went surfing in the '80s as a teenager, there is a reminiscent similarity between your accent and the narrations of On Any Sunday and Endless Summer. It's a US kind of thing, but more west coast like The Beach Boys than east coast. Combined with the subtle humour, it just makes the whole show more fun to watch. Thanks again. * previous episode which was also a fantastic story.

    The names of the people? Or cars or places, what in particular? The way this is narrated gives me heavy TTS vibes. The cadence and rhythm of the narration is just too consistent to sound human. TTS often mispronounces names of people, not so much places.

    About 0:39 I'd argue that the "five blades razors" are actually a downgrade compared to classical double edge safety razor. 1. they clog easily if you shave a few days worth of stubble at a time. 2. They make you have a lot more ingrown hairs (speaking from experience) 3. if you use one cartridge more than 2-3 times they are very harsh on the skin. 4. they are much harder to clean 5. they are a lot more expensive (a cartridge of 4 is 10x the price of a 10 pack of traditional razors so 25x increase per razor blade) 6. plastic waste 7. they are proprietary 8. they are next to useless for stylizing While switching to the classical razor can be daunting, after adjustment period and unlearning to forcefully drag the razor across the skin, I can't recommend it enough.

    Great video production and great technical explanations. The one problem I've allways had with calling each of these cars a Audi, Peugeot or any other name, is they are nothing like the car manufacturers actually make, indeed the people who build them do not work on the cars sold to us public.
