Weekend Watches January 3 2025
Well a happy new year to you all and if you're new here, welcome! Say hi in the comments.
We'll kick off the year with a video from a channel I nearly skipped because it looked a bit too cringey for my liking, an iconic V12 Italian supercar, a German car for agents of chaos, a short film featuring a digital Lancia Delta lookalike and a very cool tarmac rally.
Selected Car Investments sounded a bit like a giant ad for a used car to me, but I'm wrong. A dapper Danish fellow steps out of one of history's oddest supercars and tells us all about the very much-forgotten Bugatti EB110.
Derek Tam-Scott for YouTube channel OTS tells us about another very different supercar that we all remember, or at least we do if we're over 40. OTS is another channel I'd normally skip, but it seems like they got Derek to do the vid and do it well.
German broadcaster Deutsche Welle covers the Mercedes 600 so beloved of celebrities and psychopaths – often both at the same time. Weird to see a state-owed broadcaster being so honest, but Germans are often quite good at that.
This one is a bit different, a ten-minute short film called Rally. Made by filmmaker Santiago Menghini and built in Unreal Engine 5, I was drawn to this owing to my years as a video game review.
Anyway, it's spectacular.
Travel channel GoBeyond brings us the story of the 2024 Balkan Rally which looks amazing. The video is essentially an extended promo for the 2025 event but I'll take it. Also, if anyone needs a driver, I'm in.
And that's the first Weekend Watches for 2024. Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter so you don't miss a post and if you haven't already, head over to our channel to watch my Lotus Emira review.
