Gives you wings?
8/10.
No marks for dropping the news yet retaining SIARPC. The Britcar segment raises the score from what would've been a 5, because the rest of the episode was pretty dull. I've seen the Ascari review on Clarkson's DVD, and its just another supercar getting thrown around the track sideways accompanied with screams of 'POWER'. I'd like to see them actually test the thing on a typical road and see just how good it really is then.
James' Fiat review was quite good, but the race against the BMX guys was pretty 'meh'. We've seen it all before - staged shots of the bikes/parkour man/etc leaping his car and narrowly beating him across the line. Still looked good though, some of the BMX stunts they pulled were amazing, as well as them stacking it occasionally
I wonder what the crew of the Mosler thought of being hit and just about taken out of the race by a bunch of hackabouts who werent in contention for anything. I realised this race was serious business when I saw a shot of a car which had names such as Fabrizio Gollin, Gabriele Gardel, Marcel Fassler, Luca Cappellari. These are all top GT endurance racers, and not your weekend club drivers. I've done 24 hour endurance races. Admittedly not in a car but in one of these but it is still bloody hard work in preparations and making sure to keep concentration through-out the race. Well done to Top Gear though.
