It doesn't take long to learn a short track like that, maybe something like the original Nurburgring or Isle of Man TT course then yes
I wonder if Clarkson was being serious when he said they insisted the driver had to be an American? That would narrow the choices somewhat (being filmed in the U.K. etc.). |

Bloody hell, that second episode, what was it all about? Dragged on for days.
Maybe some of the problem is that they've been given carte blanche, they can just do what they want, but it's not remotely funny nor endearing. Mind you they had plenty of money to play with before, and that wasn't right funny in the end either.
I think if they were restricted in some way then they'd have to think of something fun to get round it. I've gone right off 'em I 'ave and that was the nail in the coffin for me. I remember an old TG episode where they souped up an old Lada by giving it to Lotus and the bloke that wrote the book on twin cam tuning, that seemed like fun (and the start of fun top gear), but that high budget anti terrorist thing they did, what the hell was that? Really, what the flying fuck are they doing? Trying their best to make that audi interesting? Well actually, I suppose they had their work cut out, maybe I'll give them another chance.
But back to the Lada, after they did that it left a kind of "What crazy antics are they gonna get up to next week?" feeling and it's gradually worn off. Now with all this money they have few ideas, and any ideas they do have get hammed up tae feck.
Oh and the anti-celeb thing, if they do another running joke about it (they will), it'll be almost as bad as them just interviewing the fuckers. They are sat at Chris Evans level of annoyance for me right now, well maybe not, but nearly. ____________________ '90 VFR750; '89 NC30; '95 DR650; '89 CD250U; ~'82 CG125; ~C90 |

The lada was boring, people widely considered it boring, and the result wasn't all that. Pistonheads had a meltdown about how boring that feature was. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F
