James McKeone from Podspeed on GTChannel reviews the 2020 Volkswagen Passat 2L turbo SEL. The Podspeed crew is a tough crowd to please and the 2020 Volkswagen Passat has some serious competition in the midsize segment. Less than a new design and more of a refresh, is a new look enough to keep the Passat relevant?

James also reports on the new livery of the  Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team and gives us a heads up on the F1 2020  official video game developed by Codemasters.
