MIKE SPINELLI: Hey.
Welcome to something called "Dri-vay Cen-trawl." Here's
where you're going to find out what's happening
on DRIVE this week.
Don't forget, /drive.tv, @drive on Twitter,
facebook.com/drivetv is where you'll find us outside of
YouTube, where you probably are right now.
Anyway, "Tuned" is off this week.
But don't forget, there is a "Driven" episode this week.
You've heard of Laguna Seca.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.
You're going to find out how Drive shoots videos of Porsche
IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge by Yokohama races.
Let's take a look at a clip.
-It takes a lot for us to get here, in
terms of our equipment.
All told, we travel with about 300 pounds of gear to every
event that we go to, especially races.
-There's the other one.
-Oh, yeah.
Everything's perfectly where it should be.
TV: It's a low grip racetrack here at Mazda
Raceway Laguna Seca.
Never has--
-Watch.
This traffic is going to cause that pass.
TV: It is never too late--
-Whoa.
Wipe them up.
TV: --now he's going to try that.
-Whoa.
TV: It's very, very impressive.
MIKE SPINELLI: That's "Driven" this week.
Tuesday on "Drive." And it's the Jaguar F-Type.
That's right.
I said "Jag-u-are," because Chris Harris on "Cars." Chris
is driving the Jag and a couple of other convertibles
there at his complex near Wales, wherever
the hell that is.
Let's take a look at the clip.

MIKE SPINELLI: That's Chris Harris on
"Cars" every Wednesday.
And this week, a second "Driven." We went to China to
find out what the billionaires there are driving, and where
the very secret government tuning complex is.
Yes, we found out.
Let's take a look at that.
There's just a million
contradictions going on at once.
We're driving a $300,000 car in a country
of expanding wealth.
And yet, there are 1.3 billion people here, that
most of them are poor.
And so what am I trying to say?
[BLEEP]
But you can't deny the contradiction of driving a
$300,000 limousine through these little villages, in
which people are moving sticks around by a three-wheel
motorcycle.
I mean, it just feels off.
That's a "Driven" special this week on Thursday.
And also on Thursday, we'll have another question for you
guys to answer and for us to yammer on about on
"After/Drive." And then on Friday, it's "ShakeDown" for
the best motor sports news, analysis, and attitude you'll
find anywhere at any price.
That's "ShakeDown" with Leo Parente Friday on "Drive."
And that's it for "Drive Central." Don't forget,
driveshirts.com if you're in the US.
slashdrive.tv.
Also, Ian, European ordering yet?
Or no?
Not yet.
Working on that.
Sorry about that guys.
We're going to have European ordering for your shirts
pretty soon.
Also, @drive on Twitter, and facebook.com/drive too.
See you guys next week.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MIKE SPINELLI: Yeah.
-Maybe there's two?
MIKE SPINELLI: Maybe there's two clips.
Maybe there are three clips.
I don't care how many clips there are.
As long as there are clips, I will be sitting in this chair,
in front of the boomerang of insanity.
