For those of you who missed it, get on Iplayer now. It was the best episode I have ever seen.

For those who did see it, discuss!

I was just about to make a topic aswell. One of the greatest Top Gear episodes for so many reasons. Only downside was who they chose to drive Sennas car. Think Barrichello would have been a better choice, Senna looked at him as his Protege. I sat in silence for the whole Senna bit, a really really good piece.

Senna. Diaz. Cruise. Veyron.


And a seven foot twat with spakky teeth and excessive ear hair.


Excellent show.

When I saw that Cruise and Diaz were on I assumed it'd be another excruciating fawning mess from Clarkson interspersed with the odd caravan blowing up. So that was a very pleasant surprise.

The Senna piece was superb, I can't remember watching a TG film even half as good for a very long time. Hopefully it'll get a good reaction and they'll do more proper motorsport stuff in the future. Clearly Clarkson is passionate about it, even if the other two aren't, and a bit of proper passion is always going to make for some decent telly. Hamilton came across really well too.

Anything Dakar related's always good and that Bugatti wasn't half bad either.

I guess there's life in the old dog yet.

Shame the Veyron film couldn't have been done differently to the last time they did it. Carbon copy but without the *something* that it had the first time.

I'm sure it was more down to VW rather than TG, but it was total deja vu.

Soon to be seen on Daveja vu

To be honest I don't think it was that good apart from the Veyron!

I prefered the old episodes where they destroy stuff
E.g toyota pickups lol

I wish they did something on 17 year old cars and definately bikes!

I can't be fucked with the races anymore. All the camera angles are already set up and filmed from multiple angles. So either they take 50+ cameras there, or the race is filmed in parts and adjusted to make it look close and fix the result. It's all predictable and stupid. I'm also 99% sure it's mostly not them actually driving the car, more likely one of their team of stunt drivers who occasionally dresses up as the stig.

The veyron was impressive, but also stupid. No one could ever buy one as probably only 1 was ever made and that will only be used to demo things and possibly 'sold' to a VW executive just so that it all counts. Cruise and Diaz were okay, both a bit too spoilt and Hollywood. The senna bit was quite well done i thought. One of the better episodes, but also one of the more fake feeling ones.

I don't like the look of that Vyrus thing.... Looks to... In your face?

[bikertomm]

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

I think the star in a car is probably the most 'real' thing in it.

The circuit isn't exactly large so i'd guesstimate under 10 cameras with some remote controlled.

It's also a figure of 8 meaning it only needs 5-6 cameras to cover it.

Seemed a bit sporadic to me, like they had loads of 10 minute features going spare as fillers and just cobbled them together.

Not bad though, the bit about Senna was good, nice to see some of that footage again.
