OMG worst episode ever!
It was all so clearly set up!



Laughing

Kimi always seems such a miserable bastard at the races, yet he has a party boy reputation, so lets hope he's a bit more fun both on the show and in F1 this year.

He just has no expression at all Laughing

Did well for Ferrari though, who's he driving for this year?

I'd sell them for free.

Episode is fairly serious and sensible from the first half, not many moments of madness or stupidity. Had a very nice old school ferrari on it.

Some other dude.... It's slash ffs a much more interesting bloke than the guy who drives round in circles for a living and by far my favourite reasonably priced car section of this series. 8/10

Yup, it was just cars and stuff, which is ace if you're wanting to watch a programme about cars and stuff. Thumbs Up

I like Raikkonen, I think there's a very subtle <trollface.jpg> going on there.

That Rallycross looked properly fun, I genuinely enjoyed watching 15 minutes of that more than the last couple of seasons of Formula 1 .

a good about face compared to recent episodes, no heavily scripted scenes, just a very good show. the rally cross section was a great watch.
way better than some earlier ones that almost made you cringe.

9/10 for me, a pretty decent one for a change..
course they didn't mention the Bars course to get a race licence etc and the fireproof safety gear when they did the cost comparison to golf Rolling Eyes
Chris Evans has some very very nice motors lucky bugger

Raikkonen was actually quite funny Laughing

That Ferrari was awesome and the racing was good, no outrageously fake crashes or anything

Bit of a shame Kimi doesn't seem to know who he's driving for and the TG researchers did a bit of a duff job on F1 teams. There's only one Lotus on the grid, the one Kimi drives for. It's the chassis name, not just a sponsor and there is no Renault factory any more. They're just an engine supplier nowadays.

Other than that, great episode.

Might have to give this a watch if everyone's been impressed.

First episode this series was alright, most of the in-between stuff.. Meh.

This was TG doing what it did best.

Kimi seemed he didn't wanna be there.

Shame the Race Licence they didn't cover is ~£400 ontop of a car and car setup costs, but overall worth it.

9/10.

It's been much better this series.
Only spoiled last night with having Chris Evans in it, (however briefly).

I know, I wouldn't want anything that he's slid himself into, whether it's a Ferrari or Billie Piper.

I watched last nights episode and it was good. 9/10

Why do people hate Chris Evans so much. Yeh he is a bit of a gimp but I can't see what is wrong with him.
