Possible... but don't they see the car in enough advance... not unlike cat and driver here.. so that they can release the video once lifted. They all seem to drop at the same time

sometimes but looks like everyone is driving it during the Austin F1 race so its only a week till embargo lifts. Looks like Motortrend and C&D got the cars beforehand.

Nine times out of 10, the videos are ready when the embargo drops. Anytime there’s a new car launch, my YouTube feed is populated with identical videos from Evo, Top Gear, Autocar, Auto Express, etc., etc. If it’s a car that I like, I usually have to set aside a good hour to get through them all. Haha

Black just looks so good

That it does! At this point, it’s almost equal to Champ White for me.

I’m assuming this means we will be seeing “first impressions” videos as opposed to full, detailed reviews.
Nonetheless, great signs for us!

Pretty much they're only gonna be on driving feel. I'm waiting on SavageGeese review since he goes the most in-depth with his reviews

I like him but he's super bias and doesn't like fwd performance cars. His review of FK8 was luke warm at best.

It was but he did like the Mugen FK8, I appreciate the technical aspects and the interviews with the engineers.

I hope Jason Cammisa gets a hold of one and an FK8 for an ICONS video. He's doing the highest quality content at the moment.

Confirmation of the embargo by Car and Driver. Less than 7 days to go! ??

Someone help me here… Is this the “embargo” keeping cars at the port?

They raved about the 11th gen so far.

Its the release of information/ opinion about the car. The release of the reviews.

I might be able to meet up. We could race karts at K1 Speed.

dang didnt know those take so long.
ugh

For the Type R there's no way that they will hesitate the videos will be posted day 1 of the embargo lift. Even on the first impression videos both put them out ASAP on for the big. No way in hell would they delay the Type R video.
