What I liked about the airport race, and all the BTCC races on TG, is that you see vehicles that were never, ever intended to be raced or even to go over 10mph, being thrashed about. It's an absurd visual that makes my inner-child giggle. I could never get enough of the bendy-bus sideways action. You do it in a race format to give the film a basic premise to form around, but the film is really about watching vehicles do absurd things they were never made for, and on that I think the film worked. And I would not be against seeing the BTCC drivers back for a future film.
I love seeing the Touring Car guys on the show thrashing cars and other vehicles around. Meanwhile, I think you nailed why I like all the racing segments they've done (this one included). I still say the F1 board ought to be expanded to include all racing drivers. Then they can get the Touring Car guys to have a go in the Liana!
Jimmy was supposed to test the Insignia VXR this episode.
James tested it for this series. Wilman didn't say it would be in this episode. It will be in either the next episode or in the season finale.
