Top Gear in Berlin

^ I might agree with you, but there must be some other factor as they have three camera tracking cars, not just one, teling us that the three presenters have no real intention of sticking in a group. I may be wrong, and I don't know how many tracking cars they had in the trip to Val Thorens.
 
Berlin could be the key. Different routes followed by different groups of Allied forces in 1945? That would explain 3 chase cars.
 
Anyone want to take bets on them taking the cars to the Nordschleife at some point?

Gawd, I hope so! They've not been there for a loooong time, and I'd love to see them go back there for a challenge at some point. :nod: + :woot:
 
Well... he mentioned Colditz. I bet it has more to do with British POWs than with allied troops, then. The place in Poland would be Zagan.
 
Sweet, I would guess that there's going to be a lot of UK vs Germany stuff, which I always found funny. Bring on the new series!

Damn, no Volvo 740 Turbo :(

(I would've said 850R but that's FWD...)
 
looks great and the cars look even better :)
old 190e 2.3 very cool car!
 
Sierra Cosworth! :) However unless the Sierra is souped up (entirely possible if it's JC's car), the BMW will be the fastest hands down. 300<hp against the 204 of the Sierra and <200 of the Mercedes. Don't care though,all I want is a LOT of sideways action! :)
 
I know this is the spoilers thread so hope you don't mind me posting some more info (with BIG spoilers) on this particular challenge...


I went to TG filmiing yesterday and one of the challenges that the guys did for this film was to record their lap time and then they posted the vids on youtube to see who got most hits in the past week. I've managed to find the Sierra Cosworth film on there today - recognise the voice?

I'm looking for the other 2 films of the Merc and the BMW - Unfortunately I couldn't really see the exact title of the youtube films on the screens in the hanger but I would recognise the films if I saw them so I'm still looking... James' Merc video is a lot like Jezza's one above but Richard's is not a proper video, it's just a blank screen with coloured stripes and Richard doing a commentary over it. If anyone has a bit of free time they may want to do a search for them. If I do find them I'll post them up.

Not found the M3, I think it may have broken down!

Also confirmation that it's a Merc Cosworth and it belongs to Mr. May :D

I think I found another one: [video=youtube;YbUgAI-VTZw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbUgAI-VTZw[/video]
 
That's fab - thanks so much.. Yeah the M3 - Riich didn't actually film a lap (cos the car had problems) so he posted a vid of a blank screen with him making the engine noises lol - I think it just had BMW M3 as the title of the vid but there are thousands come up when you search just by that.
 
I couldn't find Richard's M3, as the other two videos were uploaded on the same day (June 16th) and couldn't find anything on it. Unless it's under another title. And hajj, if you look at the above post you can see that it has already been posted. :)
 
Yeah I noticed that I was a bit slow ;)

edit: I will just claim that WillDAQ edited his post to include the videos:D
