Hm, I hope there's some actual car reviews thrown in there; otherwise it sounds kind of slow.

I was thinking if the Veyron's speed is so high do you think they are trying to get James to go as fast as Richard was when he had the crash?

You can't go 288 MPH in a Veyron.

No it is limited to 249 but if you took the limiting off it might get close. Maybe he won't get as fast but he could get close enough for a few references about it.

I was a bit puzzled by Season 8's preview montage on the first episode. I thought the Brera was supposed to be in that season based on that clip. Ah well...
