Fearing the special edition Pista will be outperformed by a 2 year old standard series production competitor?

I suspect, it is probably indeed the don't post your own video rule given that it then becomes a "where do you draw the line" discussion if people use the forums to direct viewers to their channels to make money (he probably does not, but as said where is the line then). I am quite happy that people don't constantly post up new threads along the lines of watch my new video about xyz

People will buy a Pista (or any other Ferrari) over a McLaren for many reasons, straight line performance if likely not the deciding factor

no allowing of commercial videos without being a sponsor, banned without warning.

it's a contentious point as other people haven't been banned for doing very similar things as it wasn't deemed to be commercial.

I think given the amount of views dragtimes has (114 million in total), a few hundred from ferrarichat would make no difference and his intention of posting it had nothing to do with money.

there's been a lot of arguing about it on fchat.

at least their general posting policy there allows people to name and shame unlike the backwards ph policy that has had real life consequences for people being ripped off by dealers which ended up going to court.

Couldn’t agree more. Sadder still are the fools that have time to sit and watch this tripe.
