I honestly teared up. Partly because of the great career he had, and partly because I wasnt alive to see all of it.

One of the best episodes from top gear, esp. the senna tribute

Clarkson tends to half ass some things, but it looks like he really did put his passion into it.

I never watched the senna drive, but I wish I did. Thing is, I would have been 4 years old before he passed away and at that age I wouldn't really know whats going on.

This episode was really good

I watched Senna from early 80's right up to when he died. Every channel that day had a tribute to Senna, even the American ones. I remember the Nascar guys had a tribute day.

The Senna/Prost rivalry at McLaren will go down in history as the greatest racing feud of all time....

Not a bad show at all. This season, they've done quite a bit on old Brit cars.

Jeff Goldblum FTW! Truly the geek's movie geek.....

I think the F430 looks better too, but that drag race was ridiculous. The 458 made the F430 look downright slow.

This was one of my favorite episodes of the season. The first episode is likely the best of the short series.

Was decent. But last week's was definitely the best of the series, hands down.

End of season already!?

Totally disagree with you. This episode was vintage TG. I loved every segment and already can't wait until the fall series!

Well let me rephrase. I enjoyed the 458 bit and checking out the old factories, the TVR one was almost spooky. The rest of it was meh.

Pretty good episode. I will say I have new found respect for the 458 after that video. But I still as of now like the 430 more
