**Petrolhead Preferences**

I've always been drawn to diesel cars, with two particular models that ignited my passion - the Volkswagen Passat KN and the Audi SQ7. Both boasted brilliant engines, but for me, they fell short of perfection due to their limited revving capabilities and the mess they left on my hands when I filled up at a petrol station.

**Top Gear Presenters**

The latest announcement about new presenters joining Chris Harris on Top Gear has generated much excitement among petrolheads. For myself, Chris Harris would remain a mainstay as he is superb in his role. However, I believe that Henry Catchpole and Harry Metcalfe would complement the show perfectly. Catchpole's content creation skills are exceptional, and Metcalfe's knowledge of cars makes him an ideal fit for the program.

**Formula One**

The recent Formula One race from Austin, Texas, was undoubtedly one of the best so far this season. The strategy involved in pitting at the right time added an extra layer of complexity to the event, making it thrilling to watch from start to finish. Lewis Hamilton's narrow miss on securing his fifth driver's championship has sparked excitement for the next round in Mexico.

**Audi R8 Facelift**

The newly facelifted Audi R8 has been unveiled, and its design is undeniably cool. The rear view of the car, particularly the exhaust system, has garnered significant attention. My personal favorite feature is the updated look, which seems to have improved upon the original model.

**Upcoming Events**

This week's events are filled with exciting opportunities for petrolheads. Firstly, I'm thrilled to be invited by Fiat to join them in Milan, Italy, for the launch of the 500 Colette. Although there won't be any driving involved, this press trip promises to be an interesting experience. Next Tuesday, I'll be heading to Rolls-Royce in Bristol to finally get behind the wheel of the highly anticipated Cullinan.

**Bull Road Test**

This Friday's video will feature my bull road test of the 695 Ravalli. The new "Premieres" feature on YouTube allows viewers to participate in live chat and comment before the video is even launched. I'm eager to see how this feature works and whether it can create a sense of community among petrolheads.

**Midweek 180**

My midweek 180s have been met with enthusiasm from my dedicated followers, although they've never achieved massive views like some other popular automotive content creators. However, I appreciate the engagement that these videos spark, especially among my hardcore peddlers. If you're one of them, please don't hesitate to give me a thumbs up and leave your comments below. Don't forget to subscribe to Petrol Pet for more exciting content in the coming weeks.

I think the best race of the year so far really interesting from start to finish there's lots of strategy stuff were people pitting at the right time and then we ended up you know could Lewis catch
