We're back for 2025!

Chris and Marty return with another slice of cars-on-screen nerdery, with the new F1 movie trailer, DtS, Formula E tedium plus the top 3 Batmobiles all getting the Automovie treatment. It's good to be back.

In the news, the F1 movie has had a full-length trailer released and while Marty is optimistic, Chris has issues with their use of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain'. Meanwhile, F1TV's Will Buxton has made a surprising move Stateside to commentate on IndyCar, FE still exists somehow and Chris explains why you should watch it, and we talk a bit about why motorsports watching is about to get REALLY annoying with Warner Bros Discovery's axing of Eurosport.

For our feature discussion, we travel back in time a few months to bring you an unreleased deep dive into our top 3 Batmobiles! Spoiler alert: the first-place car is black...

Henry Catchpole has been driving the wildest 911s with a video on the F1-engined Lanzante 930 and 700bhp Ruf CTR.

For our YouTube picks, we highlight Hammond and May's easygoing chemistry when Richard Hammond drinks all of James May's gin and then follow it up with The Abandoned Hammond Family Car That Nobody Knows About featuring Izzy Hammond and Tati Reed.

Finally, the Algorithm served up a strange treat in the form of an Unreal Engine-powered heist movie short - check out Rally | An Unreal Engine Action Thriller Short Film and let us know what you think!
