For all of you who thought Matt from Carwow ran out of cars to drag race

I know everyone loves to talk about how Matt from Carwow just races random cars because he's got nothing better to do....


This one's for you

His YouTube videos are great actually. Very thorough reviews and of course the needless but fun drag races! The stick of truth and his hatred of parcel shelves makes me chuckle. Worth a watch if you haven't seen him before.

If you do ANYTHING on youtube performance car related, especially BMW's, the algorithm has put one of his videos in your feed at some point.

Yep. Matt and Carwow are a digital only business. That's the only thing they do.

I don't mind his vids but I normally skip to about the halfway point where he's done talking rubbish and the racing starts.

Leaving the street racing aspect out of this, I wish more youtubers would follow this guy's format, a quick intro of both cars and straight to racing, no bs:




Hoonigan is also notorious for this, 10 minutes of blah blah blah and 3 minutes of racing.

I use to like him and really enjoy his content but honestly he's become very stale in creativity. But then again, drag races = views, so I guess he's going to where the money's at. I will say though, the wackier drag races, such as this one, are far more interesting and/or entertaining.

I'm still waiting for his Top Gear moment.... Rimac Nevera vs. an SR-71 Blackbird
