to be fair it followed the same old tried and tested routine but it stopped being a proper motoring program a long time ago. now its just light entertainment based (sometimes loosely) around high end cars.

Was an ok episode. Didn't notice the stig doing that though! Might have to watch the repeat!

As said, it isn't a serious motoring program now, more of an entertainment show, and it pisses on most of the shite on TV to be honest. One of the few things worth watching.

Worth it totally to see the F1 versus Veyron. Doesn't it have launch control and a claimed 0-60 time of less than 3 seconds? FAIL

I have to totally agree here.Iknew the back window of the volvo was gonna get put out and i knew that he was gonna crash it into that green house thing.

I liked the bit at the end where the mc,claren was racing the bugatti.It nacked it from the start.It just goes to show that the old technology is sometimes better.

I'd still take a Ferrari over it. Mainly because its taken Lamborghini 3 Attempts to even get close to Ferrari times.

I love Lamborghini for Styling but for all right driving experience it'd have to be the Ferrari.

However, that said, Lamborghini have decided to make a Gallardo LP550-2. A RWD Lamborghini will be great competition for Ferrari and just recently Ferrari have developed software that Cancels out Understeer for the coming F450.

But as Aston Martin are entering F1 as prodrive next year and then will be Aston Martin in 2012, I hope Aston ups the game against Ferrari. Loads going on in the world of Supercars lol

Not really, its just the way the AWD is in the Bugatti. It launches the way it did on top gear all the time. Check out the video on youtube against M3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEL5ABddZ0k&feature=fvw

The AWD in the Bugatti needs the power reigned in. You can't just put your foot down cos it won't do anything.

If it launches like that pleb drove it, it would no way touch 0-62mph in 2.5 sec

The macca F1 is 3.5 and the veyron should have monstered it.

I know. I have a video on my facebook from when i was taken in a Veyron not a long video as my phone was shit back then but the car does not do anything when the throttle is floored to get it off the line. It just reigns in the power then takes off. Its the same with Lamborghinis. On Lamborghini's you need the car to start rolling before giving it the boot.

The beginning was really well done, with Stig in Photocopier, the whitening toothpaste at Hamsters phone and the picture of Will Young at Jeremys computer... brilliant start which led onto a great episode IMO.


Cheers,
Grant

Ah yes very true, but only with that original Press car, which was de-catted on cut slicks and with a racing driver behind the wheel...

All others do 3.5 and 0-100mph in 7 secs not 6 like the one i mention above.
