Vehicle Virgins Host Proves Why You Should Ignore InfluencersRecently, Parker Nirenstein from supercar You. Tube series Vehicle Virgins went to a Michelin press event where there was an autocross. You know, actual hard driving that requires skill and precision, the likes of which we dont see on supercar You. Tube very often. He is immediately called out by Alex Roy. It is hilarious. Parkers regurgitating a lot of tire jargon that Im not sure he quite understands, so The Drives Roy is doing the public service of calling him the influencer we got, not the influencer we need or deserve. Im not sure Nirenstein even knows what modulate between understeer and oversteer, is supposed to mean. Isnt there a word missing there, like throttle, maybe Mind you, Nirenstein just posted a video from a track day a couple months ago where he appears to be in one of the instructed groups for novice drivers, given the lead follow laps done to familiarize everyone with the line of the track at the start. Thats great More auto personalities should be going to the track for instruction so they can be better at what they do. Its one of Nirensteins best videos since its an honest look at what happens at the track and how fun it is. Latest environmental news, features and updates. Pictures, video and more.

You need to go down to Australia for the craziest a jump thats on the Mineshaft stage of the Canberra Rally. Although Minshaft really isnt a jump, its more. Recently, Parker Nirenstein from supercar YouTube series Vehicle Virgins went to a Michelin press event where there was an autocross. You know, actual hard driving. But theres the rubI dont expect a guy whos just starting to dabble in performance driving to be consistent enough to discern the difference between snap oversteer and ham footing the go fast pedal. Hes not exactly carrying much speed in the corners at the track, either. This is also why we dont do tire junkets here. Theyre dumb and badWhats the takeaway Whats the story Dunlop tires feel amazing at the limit I can really feel the car in these Dunlop tires Only buy Dunlop tires from now on It is press graft at its worst. You see, Nirensteins puzzling tire remarks are what the lovely people who sell tires want their message coming out of a pretty face who gets lots of attention. If your schtick is look at me shiny objects and not the art of driving said shiny objects fast, youre going to be more inclined to spit back out something that sounds way too close to the manufacturers marketing presentation as opposed to your own thoughts in your own voice. Especially when a tire manufacturer is footing the bill for the whole event. Heres a thought if youre looking for tire advice, seek out the people who are very good at flogging on tires, not a guy who got famous on You. Tube for spending a lot of money on cars. Grassroots Motorsports has a habit of putting national autocross champions behind the wheel for their head to head tire tests, and its an annual must read for performance street tires. Tire Rack also does absurdly thorough tests of even more normal fare, if youre able to read between the lines of this is a company trying to sell you tires. Alternately, ask any track day instructors you know, as they experience a little bit of everything thanks to the massive variety of tires that students show up with at the track. But dont listen to influencers, who are too easily influenced on press junkets. Full disclosure I am hot garbage at autocross, and I dont get to do anywhere near the number of track days Id like to do. Im surprised Jalopnik trusts me with cars at all, to be honest. Update On the other hand, if were talking about influencers Update 2 Alex called to say he wants you to know he used Michelin Pilot Sports for his Cannonball Run, and he swears by them. Everything is terrible, influence yourself, trust no one.
