While not directly Top Gear, James May's Toy Stories special with his Meccano Sidecar racer running the TT course is finally airing January 3rd. I can only imagine how drunk they had to get Oz Clarke to sit in the sidecar.

Don't forget that the Mclaren P1 with plate P100V is a test mule and not a production vehicle so those are most likely sensors measuring outflow gases or in top Gear's case the microphones that they wire up to get the exhaust note. The Aventador was burping flames in 18x01 as well. The blue flame is a result of an extremely short exhaust, so the overrun gases and fuel that escape are able to detonate due to the extreme heat from the engine and catalytic converters. Couple that to a shorter than average exhaust pipe they use to exit the vehicle and you get the light show. I think in the 918's case, there was some enhancement to exaggerate it. eggyolk posted:If memory serves me correctly, in some of the footage from the Clarkson/Harris reviews you can see two little nozzle-type injectors on the top of the exhaust tip.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:May needs to hand in his Man Card. How the gently caress do you forget about the greatest car ever made???? You all have to hand in your man cards. While the F40 is the greatest, the 208GTB was the first Turbo powered V8 Ferrari with a rabid 2 liter V8 from the Dino and a KKK turbo. Which then begat the 288 GTO, which then gave us the F40.

pik_d posted:Chris Harris is on Extra Gear with Rory Reid. Hopefully Evans stays away and lets Reid and Harris cultivate that chemistry that they started to show in the studio bits, but they tried to cram so much into those 24 minutes of crap no-one cares about. 1 minute of Chris hooning the Atom, 1 minute of awkward Guilia jokes and 20 minutes more of Ginger SHOUTING at everyone, the get to know your TG hosts and the look at the building of the new improved Rallycross track, cause RallyCross is the hot thing. Have we mentioned we have a Rallycross track now?

Bring back Pizatti and Cox. TG-Australia in the multiple attempts were just starting to gel and do their own thing before they nuked everything and brought in generic obnoxious Clarkson clone #32.

It was fun and really, just turn the brain off for the obviously scripted stuff. I do like the call backs throughout to OG Top Gear and don't forget to stock up on British Embassy Emergency Rations before watching
