New Top Gear (2011) BBC 2 8PM!

Awesome lap but thought he would be quicker given his experience. Certainly makes Bishops lap look even better.

It would be great if the Stig did a reference lap for the SIARPC.

Just think of it like this its far safer to do 100+ in a GTR than say a Ford Focus.

A GTR can get there very easily without even realising, it can also come back from crazy speeds again so easily, then factor in the way it can corner and the more or less seamless gear changes it is very easy to get upto some serious speeds in one.

Been a passenger in such car and even driving myself I was never worried, infact that was its downfall it made going so fast way to easy, its a master piece but there are more involving cars which are fair enough slower but more fun.

Sounds rather sportbike-esque, doing 30mph short shifting out of first

it might just be me but this railway item is a waste of time

It is, but wouldn't you want to do it? I would love to!

Well of course, the GTR's ability is never in doubt. Its just everyone else on the road who are in a Ford Focus. Thats my only issue with a car like this,it almost wants people to do silly speed in it. Which is great and all that, just an issue for everyone else on the road.

not really. i'd rather have seen the gtr doing nurburgring or just generally eating other super cars

 

[GarethSouthgate]

It is dragging on a bit. :\

Why an issue for anyone else on the road?

The GTR is not equipped with missiles and guns looking to destroy any other road users.

 

[.:MBK:.]

cue fire i guess...

 

[SideWinder]

Last time was cars cars cars...they did say normal service would resume this episode. Good balance to be honest.

 

[Souleh]

Guaranteed and scum class at minimum isn't going to survive. But being caravan it's all going to end badly.

What would ya know!

it's almost like i'm psychic

Nobody else will be doing double the speed limit though.

 

[.:MBK:.]

and there goes scum class

 

[Irish_Tom]

I really enjoyed that episode, even the SITRPC was good.

 

[Skillmister]

Really really really really wish they hadnt done the fire. Was so predictable, done before and ruined the train bit imo. Was an interesting idea though. Great guest also.

 

[Maccapacca]

Very good and wow the GTR launch

 

[grudas]

found it a bit boring tbh... specially the train part

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Half of that episode was awesome the other half was garbage. The BBC should cut it to 30 minutes and use the other 30 minutes for reruns of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em.
