Did any body else pick up in the teaser clip for the season that there will be a TG:UK vs TG:USA race/challenge? That should be Fun

You know.. it airs on BBC America the day after (aka tonight) it airs live in Britain. No need to find a link online if you have cable tv.

And first run seems to be the full 1.5 hour broadcast. Though possibly a little language edited.
Re-runs are cut to 1hr.

^ Nope. Tonight's episode on BBCA was 1.5 hours (with commercials).

Overall, good episode. Funny when Jeremy was giving a 'bs' look to the camera after 'Jeremy's' time.

^ Right, that's what I meant. When last night's (new) episode gets to re-run, it'll be an hour w/ commercials. At least, that's what they did with the Patagonia episodes.

Great episode - The Bentley continued to surprise me throughout the entire special. Hell of a car, reminds me of their Rally Stage segment

That was my first thought. They already knew the Victorian castle can survive the ruggedness of the drive.

What surprised me was that my wife liked the GTR most of the 3. Tough call between the GTR or the M6GC for me.

I'd love to break my neck from launching a GTR!

As much as I like the GT-R, I would take the M6.

Is it me or has this stretch of TG episodes had by far the fewest car reviews ever?

I guess you can sort of count the Australian episode, but the only real new car they've reviewed in the past 4 episodes (5 if you count the Patagonia special as separate episodes) has been the Huracan.

Gotta have 4 doors to get to 5
But if it has to be 4 doors, I'd be ok with an E63 AMG-S sedan.

Hiiiilarious episode this week. TG is on a roll this season...

Their patient drop-off systems...Jezza's attempt at performing medical procedures with the Stig at the wheel...What a riot!


Thumbs up to Daniel Ricciardo's lap, too.

Watching today's episode now.



Yay Corvette!

And WTF at Ferrari and McLaren's stance at taking the cars around the Top Gear track. Watch to see the "controversy" caused by the manufacturers.

Not sure what to make of that. Those are some restrictions/terms.

Thought it was a good episode.

I didn't know you could get paddle shifters though, in a manual C7.

Pretty sure that would be for the auto only. I don't remember that part of the show?

Anyone else think the editing seemed a little off for the Corvette/Cayman piece?

Both Ferrari and McLaren are scared to lose, yet they are competing head to head in other races...

Porsche is probably saying: "fking pussies, let's get this shit over with"

The Peugeot bit got silly and dumb, but I guess they had to find a way to fill an hour and a half.

McLaren is poking some fun at Ferrari by wanting a production car to do the laps; Ferrari has been in the press for years as showing up with factory cars set up differently from client cars.

Ferrari threatening to ban an owner is also fairly heard of; they used to threaten F50 owners in the 90's if they dared lend their cars to magazines.

Well McLaren also said the TG track is more favorable to the 4WD Porsche and ironically that same track is where they developed P1.

If you already admit defeat at your home court before the actual race, then well they can STFU.

To me they are just bunch of excuses to avoid losing face when both of them lose to the Porsche, even though i personally want the RWD cars to beat 4WD cars.

At the end of the whole argument, McLaren said they are at least willing to do it in some form or another. It really has nothing to do with either fearing Porsche.

This is Ferrari not wanting to lose to either & McLaren calling them out on it by demanding customer cars to do the laps, knowing full well Ferrari only supplies "factory prepped" vehicles. Right now, the track doesn't even matter as long as Ferrari maintains its stance.

If they waited long enough, they can use the next best thing to replace the LaFerrari to do the race. 918 vs. P1 vs. NSX
