DTM might be worldwide soon.
If BMW do indeed enter the series and Japan adopts a common rules set you may see Nissan,Cadillac and Lexus coming in 2012.
Leo, AMA HAD a great program going untill the sold their soul to DMG and let ASSCAR run the racing. Not to mention SPEED TV, which is owned by FOX, that has totally forgotten about covering any of the AMA Superbike or Supersport races for we the fans to watch. It's VERY obvious FOX wants to push ASSCAR down everyones throat untill it kills us. Give us some DAMN VARIETY!! Like when they used to cover WRC, DTM, and other forms of racing, car or otherwise, outside of ASSCAR or it's subsidiaries.
Thank GOOOOD they broadcast MOTO GP & WSBK and let the British commentators call the races. The American guys just screw it up when they call Indy & Laguna. just my 2.
PS. Keep up the great work Leo.
!!! How can there be racing, if the U.S turns into a third world country!!! The economy Is crumbling around us and the everyday citizen is paying the bill !!! And Not standing up!!! THAT'S the problem with Americans... Give us cheep gas and food and we're complacent! Look at your auto insurance, the Biggest! scam Right in front of our faces! Yes! We have it good, but it Should Be Better! For the people By the people! Not! special interests and corporate funded lobbying! I may sound ignorant, but it Is Definitely time to come together for Our future! I DARE Anyone to go toe to toe with Leo! I Seriously doubt Your clear cut racing stands up! (Not that Leo would Even need to "step up")
I Can't believe the range of info covered in under 10 minutes IRC looks VERY interesting, will definitely look over their series :-) Amazing show Leo, closed minded people Are Always the last to see what's Right in front of them... But don't let them mar you! If anything people should have risen to the call and jumped on the track to show what American's are Really made of !!! All of a sudden people can't take an "incorrect" joke! Which wasn't really all that bad??? (foreigners wining American races??? hmmm gosh... that's insulting.... Fox news being manipulative??? Hmm that's Tooo far! Afraid of Arabians," Betowens?".... Gatta! wach out for them!!!
GROW UP PEOPLE AND WAKE UP!!! B4 it's to late!
How dare you Leo. That was unpatriotic and unAmerican. Almost as unpatriotic as speaking out against the president during a time of war. Well, the previous president. Speaking out against the current president is the MOST patriotic thing you can do.
How dare you! Do you actually listen to yourself and hear what YOU SAY? You are an amazing American.

Are you being sarcastic or are you serious? Perhaps you should look up the definition for the word "patriot"

Wow, really?
"Well, the previous president. Speaking out against the current president is the MOST patriotic thing you can do."
No one saw this as a tad TOO ridiculous? I guess with the state of political discourse in this country today, some people may misinterpret what I thought was a clear joke.
"I apologize RIGHT NOW 4 underestimating how literal you are."
"WAS making fun of how toxic / perverted the logic of political discussion has become."
See Leo, it happens to everybody.
p.s. for the record, I love Leo, love shake down, and loved the joke at the beginning of the show.

As I wrote on YouTube,
TO ALL WHO TAKE the opening humor too seriously, I apologize RIGHT NOW 4 underestimating how literal you are. For the record, I do NOT hate Arabs, Muslims, Republicans, Tea Party'ers, or even Fox News. WAS making fun of how toxic / perverted the logic of political discussion has become. And sadly, IMO, a good number of you have proved my point.
At the end of this episode's comment-fest, I will reassess what YOU think I can write. I take FULL responsiblity for the content, not FLD.
....and for the record, I gave NO viewpoint. Some of you interpreted one for me, based on your thoughts.

Leo, you may feel you did not give a viewpoint, but by writing the intro and going headlong after patriotism and conservatism with acerbic sarcasm you very much did give a viewpoint.
Get back to great racing commentary, leave the political sarcasm to John Stewart an Dennis Miller I say. Maybe next week cover religion, gun control and abortion, they are always fun ;-)

Boy that intro was witty and entertaining - not.
Leo stick to racing, not trying to push your viewpoint.
There is no upside to adding politics to this show. You wont get any new viewers but you will piss off half the ppl who already watch. You just lost one viewer
I enjoy politics mixed in with my auto news about as much as I enjoy hemorrhoids while actually driving.
Tone it down Leo. We don't care about your editorial agenda. We care about what's happening in racing, so keep it simple.
