This was the best episode of the season for me.
The Lamborghini review that started the episode off was just a classic supercar review. It was great to se it out there, to hear about what made it different from the regular Huracan, and I'm glad it really did end up being quick around the track.
Conversation Street was really good in my book because the bit about the Bentayga special edition was honestly funny, and the crowd participation seemed organic and fun.
The fueling film was actually pretty good for one of the nonsense ones, and I was genuinely impressed by the airport vehicle contraption. Sure they didn't need to specify that the acrobats were Chinese, and that's a little annoying, but all in all, a pretty damn good goof-off film.
SIARPC or whatever it's called -- a good one in my book because both guests had fun, seemed like they were into it, had good car stories. I liked it and I usually don't find it all that great.
okay. now the real conversation. The Lancia Film. It was phenomenal. The combination of thrilling footage from the era and recreations that helped tell the story effectively made this film really special. The story is one of the most exciting in rally history, and it captures a sense of the charisma that I think is missing from car racing nowadays. The homologation anecdote.... incredible. Jeremy told it well, the production was stellar, and it closed out an episode that already had all the right ingredients.
This episode brought me back to what made me love Top Gear. I learned something, I laughed, and I got to look at cars that thrilled me.
9/10
