I was very much looking forward to this episode, and I must say that I quite enjoyed it! Loved the Corvette vs Cayman review and even James testing the LaFerrari. News cracked me up a couple of times and even though I have never heard of Olly Murs, I actually liked the guy. Had a few laughs in there as well and his lap was quite blistering. I laughed like an idiot (mind you, I am an idiot) in the Peugeot film! Despite knowing fully well that it was all scripted and thought out and very silly, I still couldn't help myself but laugh at their mocking about. For all that, I give it an 8/10.
The highlight for me, surprisingly was the bit where they got the three hypercars in the studio and had their discussion. I knew 100% that Porsche would just throw them the keys to the car as it was while the other two companies would start fighting and picking excuses like little children. One wants to have customer cars and one doesn't. What the hell? Why can't they just send whatever available cars they have, do the lap and be on their way? Why does it have to be as complicated and stupid as F1? My hatred for Ferrari is growing day-by-day and McLaren isn't much behind. The simple fact that they aren't releasing their respective Nurgburgring times and neither letting Top Gear test them on their track suggests that they failed to beat the Porsche and they're scared that their much more expensive, powerful and lighter, 'track focused' cars lost to a 1.6 ton Porsche with less horse power and more weight than either of them.
