So was that clutch really from the noble?
It looked surprisingly 'not hardcore' for something with 650bhp.

No way. Clarkson will want the Viper. He fell in love with the ZR1 in the previous American special. The Viper is a car synonymous with simple, brute force power. Clarkson laps that stuff up.

He has the Lexus.

Good ep imo. I really like that ginger fella.
Also the last segment seemed like it was written for Will Ferrel and Jeremy just did his best :newlol:

Yeah the voice over saying "Jeremy has insulted Duncan Bannatyne and now he too is out." was the only funny part of that segment. In fact the funniest part of the whole show. I wasn't too impressed with the whole show really, it wasn't that great. The Pagani segment bored me, only the Bentley rally was decent.

I've always been curious when they do the car sports thing and beat the poo poo out of a bunch of brand new cars; who pays for them? Does the BBC buy them all then fix them? Rent them and fix them afterwards? Sell for parts? Aside from the body damage I'm sure the drivetrains take a beating too.

Kia give them all the cars they want because its a 20 minute advertisement on one of the most popular shows in the world for free ????

Did no one watch it? I enjoyed this episode, it was quite hilarious. It's also probably the only time this season I'll watch SIARPC.

I hated it if I'm honest. Dull and boring cars. Pretty crap and reused jokes from a few series ago. Really disappointing. Even the cinematography didn't seem on point really.

I love the 4C but I have a soft spot for Alphas. I'm most looking forward to the P1 though. Should be interesting to see it shred it's tires. I can't imagine why they didn't go AWD with it - to save weight, I guess?

Because 4wd cars are boring and fail. Essentially the opposite of what an alfa should be. Argh.

The P1 isn't an Alfa Romeo, it's a McLaren (which also shouldn't be AWD).

I read the first and last sentences somehow haha.
Also McLaren care about building quick cars and 4wd really isn't the way to go. Pagani and McLaren know wassup.

Oh my god the p1.
Looked sketchy as gently caress going round spa like. I've done that circuit in the wet in something with a third of the power and it was bad enough.
Lame they didn't do a lap however. Dammit.

AWD isn't the way to go because of coolness or speed? If it's latter, Porsche, Lamborghini and Nissan would like a word with you.

The McLaren will be faster than the porsche. What's the torque split on that anyway?
Lambos are a bad example imo, they aren't good around a track. Their quickest cars are RWD.

I'm assuming that the manufacturers give new cars to the show to use. What happens to them afterward?

They are usually press cars and the older rare stuff is usually private owners lending it to them.

Fairly solid special so far, but I do have some beef:

I was mildly annoyed by their antics in the narrow street. It just seemed unnecessary and over the top.
Scratching up people's cars, knocking over their merchandise and fondling their powerlines. I was expecting them (JC in particular) to be dragged from their cabs and beaten up at any second (or at the very least get zapped by the powerlines). Then again I suppose a lot of abuse is permitted when you are trailed by a large crew with endless stacks of cash in a largely Buddhist country.

And then the petulant teenager dumped a ton of bricks on the only road through the hills. Nice work.
Maybe a lovely Vespa suits JC better for traveling through this part of the world.

Hahahaha.
