Hard to see if it's Richard or not, it could be him but not sure. LoL at the Stig, just sitting there as the other two chat.

Awesome selection of cars.

Hmm, I wonder what exactly the subject is.

Especially with the older McLaren F1 there, I can't really think what type of segment they were filming.

Click on the video itself to go to youtube where you can view it in HD, it's definitely Hammond.

Veyron, McLaren F1, LP-670 Super Veloce AND a 722 SLR?

Holy Smoke, this should be great!

UA should be great, it was my personal favorite episode of JC's Motorworld. Well one of them, anyway. If youtube is any thing to go by as far as driving attitudes in that region, this segment should be great.

A member of Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts forum MBCLub was there, and has this to report:

Quote:
Hey all,

Well, at 5am this morning, Abu Dhabi Police closed the Corniche Road (the main arterial road through Abu Dhabi) so the Top Gear team could drag race the SLR 722 and Lambourghini Murcielago SV through the centre of town. It was great to see the 722 whip the Lambo time after time... at over 200 mph.

I was invited as technical support for SLR, and got to meet Hammond and THE STIG! It was really interesting to see how it's filmed.

I really really hope that they had done a 4-way drag race with all of them. I'd really like to see Clarkson's claims that "if Veyron sets off when McLaren reached 120, it'd still beat it to 200" put into test. Bring on the new series!

Hey vanderwater, did you notice in the middle picture, Hammond is wearing "sneakers" and not boots? I wonder if he switches out of the boots for the driving sequences, then puts them back on for talking to the camera.

Hamster does love a Bowler doesn't he? By my reckoning that'll be the fourth time he's used one on the show after the "Driving God" piece, racing the jet-propelled kayak and being a totally ungracious winner in "vs the Germans".

Reckon this could be a whole episode themed around something along the lines of "let's go somewhere that's never heard of the credit crunch to be really extravagant and even more self-indulgent than we normally are" although they'll probably come up with a snappier title than that.

Hammond's hair is just getting ridiculous. If he keeps growing it, it will turn into James's hair.
