With #F1,#MotoGP and all other motorsport action cancelled, it's a difficult time to be a petrolhead. I've compiled a list of car shows that you can watch while #socialdistancing:
F1: Drive to Survive: Season 2 of F1's behind-the-scenes docu-series is out and it's killer
Williams: It's a little old - from 2017. The documentary talks about Williams F1 team.
Shelby American: Life and times of legendary car designer Carroll Shelby
The 24Hour War: This 2016 documentary is the original Ford v Ferrari story before they made a movie about it in 2019.
The Gentleman Driver: Rich businessmen who love cars pay for their drives at Le Mans. Not many take them seriously but their love for racing is no joke
Apex: The Story of a Hypercar: A documentary of Christian Von Koenigsegg made a hypercar company from scratch & made a name against might of established names like Ferraris and Lamborghinis.
Rust Valley Restorers: They restore vintage cars. S1 out,S2 coming on Mar 27.
Smash: Motorized Mayhem: It's about a unique type of racing using school buses. Basically, demolition derby but with school buses.
Fastest Car: Drag racing series
Fast & Furious: Entire F&F franchise isn't on Netflix but some of them surely are.
Hyperdrive: A reality show where amateur racers customize their cars which then pass through an obstacle course. It's basically American Ninja Warriors but with cars. The production is quite amazing.
@thegrandtour: Amazon Prime has motor industry's three blue-eyed boys - Jezza, James & Hamster. Four seasons of petrol head nirvana.
The Gymkhana Files: Behind-the-scenes look at how Ken Block choreographs those kickass gymkhana videos.
Grand Prix Driver: Docuseries about the
@McLarenF1
Team. It's from their 2017 season when Alonso was still in F1.
@Petrolicious: Hands down they produce the best quality car videos on YT. Been subscribed to them since 4-5 years and they're brilliant.
@Carfection: These guys also produce some amazing videos.
Two must-subscribe accounts IMO.
@LenosGarage: Hosted by one of the most passionate car collectors @jayleno, Leno's Garage is a no-nonsense show with in-depth analysis and information about vehicles.

@DRIVETRIBE: Started by the original Top Gear trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May; Drivetribe is THE place for any old-TG fans.

And then there are YT channels of the top car magazines, follow whichever magazine you like the best.
The one I'd recommend are @BBC_TopGear and @evomagazine's YT channels.
And also channels of @fosgoodwood, @F1, @MotoGP, @OfficialWRC, @FIAWEC & @dakar.
If you call yourself car geek in proper sense and wish to learn more about engines, camshaft, dual clutch gearbox, turbo lag, intake manifold, etc. MUST SUBSCRIBE TO @jasonfenske13's channel Engineering Explained. youtube.com/user/Engineeri…
