Go back ten years or so and you’ll find only a handful of people uploading car reviews on YouTube, like Chris Harris for example.
Nowadays though, it seems as though anybody with a good enough camera can label themselves an influencer, although to be fair, those who do so and are successful, often (but certainly not always) put up quality content. Some of these YouTubers also tend to have a few fast cars of their own, and recently, Captain Slow himself was tasked with roasting a few of them.
Without telling you what he thought of the cars, or their owners, we will run you through the list real quick: Jason Fenske’s Tesla Model 3, TJ Hunt’s Ferrari 458 GT3, Adam LZ’s Nissan 370Z, Seen Through Glass’ Ferrari 360, Supercars of London’s Murcielago, Jimmy Broadbent’s Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, Stradman’s Ferrari F430 Challenge, Mr JWW’s Ferrari F12 TDF, Doug DeMuro’s Ford GT and even Harry Metcalfe’s Jaguar XE SV Project 8.

As you can see, there are a lot of stunning cars on that list, from modern classics to actual classics. Of course, you can only imagine what May had to say about DeMuro’s Ford GT, given the fact that Jeremy Clarkson used to own one.
What struck us as really interesting though is that May actually knew who everyone on that list was, and admitted to following several of them. The fact that he “loves Doug” (DeMuro) may or may not come as no surprise, given the latter’s detailed approach to touring around cars.
Still, there were a few big view names absent from this list, like Shmee, Salomondrin, Parker from Vehicle Virgins and Carwow’s Mat Watson, who owns an older Porsche 996.
