Love seeing top end stuff and the incredulity at the size of things from overseas visitors
The episode was kind of lulzy over all but the ring campfire would have been insanely stupid to do there so assuming it was quickly put out, and fuck sleeping out in a sleeping bag like that without being in a tent to keep snakes and spiders out. Also seeing James showing only 200km range left in his tank when showing the gtr dash at the start just was insane

It was enjoyable because it was fucking hilarious. Had me flat out cackling like a retard more than is probably healthy. Jesus that was funny. And really illustrates the difference between the show and the foreign versions. So much is obviously scripted and set up and it doesn't matter even a little bit because they're so damn good.
Also it was almost lost in the audio, but when they went to James and Hammond they mentioned that he did the 1:42.2 lap time exactly 3 different times.

If they wanted to do it right they'd have 5-6 of the top drivers over at once, same day, same car, baseline the alignment and throw on a new set of tires for each driver, given them each 10 laps and have at it.
The drivers wouldn't do it though because ego.

I caught that too.
I think they just had good segments every single time. They actually did a real "the news" for the first time in what feels like forever, the challenge was really good and hilarious, and I enjoy the F1 drivers more than random celebrities.
I was about to complain about how I hadn't seen the cool wall in like 5 years, but then...the cool wall kind of sucked.

That was probably the funniest episode of Top Gear ever, so I can't complain too much, but are they even going to test cars anymore? Are they just ceding that whole thing to Chris Harris? Seeing how well various cars do when under the Stig's care on the Top Gear track is a huge thing to me. They have tons of new stuff that needs to be put around the track, and they just don't seem to be doing them. Are they putting those cars around and then publishing those times on the web or something?
I could see where maybe some people find that stuff boring or whatever, but I love it, and the show just isn't the same without it.

Very impressed by the Dan Ricciardo drive . . . that he had done 3 laps of the same time shows it was no 'one off fluke'
