I think this has never been asked in the forums so, I thought it might be a good idea for us to share some of our favourite YouTube channels and maybe get to know new content creators who we might be missing out on.
My top 5 list is (without taking into account Killrob’s and the game’s official channel ):
Doug DeMuro (and More Doug DeMuro).
Hoovies Garage.
Engineering Explained.
VisioRacer.
AlfaGuy.
What is your top 5 list?
PS: If this kind of topic, somehow, isn’t allowed here and is categorized as spam, I’ll have no problem in deleting it as soon as you ask me to.
Other than the more popular guys like Doug DeMuro, RCR and what not. My favourites include Scotty Kilmer for his old-man rants, Rich Rebuilds for being a hands-on EV youtuber that exposes Musk’s/Tesla’s bad business practices on the regular while doing DIY repairs and, Fully Charged for giving good recaps on EV news and having videos on a bunch EV DIY stuff.
I subscribe and regularly watch only Engineering Explained, used to subscribe Visio too, but then got annoyed by misinformation, lack of ideas and stereotype thinking. Occasionally (quite rarely) I watch Petrolicious and Carfection videos when they appear in my recommendations. I definitely dislike Scotty Kilmer.
And that’s about it when it comes to English speaking channels - there are some Polish ones on the list though. I subscribe KickSter (I don’t think he has English subtitles) and Złomnik (possible here, especially since he made a video in English once or twice), pretty regularly watch Blogomotive (no idea about subtitles), sometimes AutoCentrum/Zachar OFF (same person; I think AC might have English subtitles, it’s a very professional channel and site, and AFAIR there were some videos in English) and occasionally MotoDoradca (less plausible than in AC’s case).
These are currently my most watched car-related YouTube channels:
Hoonigan
Hoonigan Bonus
Car Throttle
Mighty Car Mods
Misha Charoudin
Boosted Boris

BladedAngel
VehicleVirals (< a new channel that popped up recently)
Car Throttle
Donut (ofc)
Shifting Lanes (sometimes)

RegularCars (occasionally)
I’m probably the only person who doesn’t like RCR very much. Not sure about his content nowadays but a couple of years back he used to contradict himself and get stuff wrong many times.
VisioRacer, Alfa Guy, PowerArt (very good to be a Spanish motor channel), Petrolhead Garage, Coches.net, Option Video, Best Motoring, and of course, our channel: Rising TV (alert: spam ), ChainBear F1, and MCM.
