Chris Harris lämnar /Drive

Startar egen kanal

I söndags meddelade motorjournalisten Chris Harris något rätt så oväntat - han hoppar av kanalen /Drive. Exakt varför han har tagit detta beslut är oklart men det är nog inte omöjligt att det har att göra med den massiva kritik kanalen har fått sedan de började ta betalt för sina videoklipp. Men dyk inte ner i gråt riktigt än, Chris kommer inte sluta testa bilar bara för att han lämnar /Drive. Den 12 november drar nämligen hans egna kanal, Chris Harris on Cars (CHOC), igång. Och där kommer innehållet att vara gratis.

Så här säger Chris själv om beslutet att gå vidare:
"January 2012 seems a long, long time ago. Back then I was told by people who didn't know much that a web car video should be less than three minutes long and that overtseer was unpopular. I think we proved them wrong and am grateful to YouTube for giving me the chance to destroy tyres that other people pay for.

I'm also excited to announce that I've started working on my next phase of tyre obliteration and will be launching something new very soon. I'll remain a close friend of the /DRIVE brand and involved in its future productions, but will be offering even more access to my content through the next phase of Chris Harris on Cars, which will launch its new YouTube channel, free to air, November 12.Special thanks go to Neil Carey, my sidekick in so many adventures and, if he can still handle the general mentalness, the man who will work with me on this next phase. Of course the biggest thanks go to all the viewers who have supported my little show. I look forward to welcoming you to the next phase very soon."

I've had the most wonderful time working on @drive. A great team, and some great shows. But It's time to try something new.
