I can't help but notice that the car time in this run is STILL slower than the original bobsled time of 59.68s

Just realised that! At least the Mini closed the gap a little with this time of 59.73, bringing the difference to .05 of a second difference.

Part of me wishes that James had been driving the car, just so he could have showed up at the line about 25 minutes late like for the beginning of most Top Gear challenges.

@@adamdickinson2894 the grand tour is great. The specials are better than when on top gear, the cars are unbelievable and the humour is still typical for them. What I preferred on the old top gear, it was the British feel ( the grand tour is too international) , the top gear track, the stig and the news segments were just better.

@@oldskoolraver1079 fair enough if you do think that. To me watching the GT, it just doesn't feel the same. You can see 95% of the jokes coming a mile off and it just doesn't feel original at all. Idk whether that's because they did more improv on the BBC or they scripted it better, but on the GT then May or Hammond will just say something clearly to tee up Jeremy and it's painful. Hammond's character seems to have completely changed to one that's just angry all the time, and it's become more of Jeremy Clarkson + two sidekicks than the Clarkson May Hammond trio you had on TG. Clarkson always seems to get them back in the end or find some way to win the challenge when that kinda stuff was much more evenly divided on TG. And they do segments or rant about topics they'd already covered on top gear, or things they hadn't done on TG because they knew they wouldn't work (fire engines are a good example).

@@adamdickinson2894 True, you can notice they exaggerate their characters where in the old top gear it felt more natural. I also think they are running out of fresh ideas as most things they have already done before. Just be happy we have over 22 seasons of the old top gear and also lots of grand tour content and still new content to come. Most successful series see only have a couple of seasons, if not just one.
That is the most beautiful sound that a rally made in a long time.

oh man that mini sounds awesome
Should have shown the slow mo part where she takes her helmet off....melted me in my seat!!
She's such a sweetheart.
That was intense! I have never watched a skeleton race before. I did't know it could be this exhilarating! And the rally car! Good job to both of them!
Love that hans zimmmer in the background
3:34 Good old tron daft punk music.
not a hint of nerves from either of them. They are both incredible human beings.
imagine hitting a brick wall going at 70 miles an hour on those ski sliding things
Good god Amy is a hottie! She's a world class athlete and seems like a good person on other interviews... man what a woman

HaloToday What an ass on her!
I enjoyed this race more than the last one. A Mini rally car, Britain's best hope in rallying, and the fact that skeleton bobsleighing to me looks more spectacular than the team bobsleigh :o
"Our faces arn't going to scrape on the road are they in the car..." "Hopefully not thats only if we're going upside down which er... we don't plan to do."
Don't care for a car or May, because SHE IS GORGEOUS and I see only her!

I forgot about this!!! Series 17 was great!!
At least she's not a sore loser about it 😀
The editing in this video is almost as perfect as Amy. Such a great challenge.
Just to tackle such a challenge is an amazing testament to the courage of these athletes. They are all winners in my book.
The music at 3:35 gave me goosebumps.

A sequential gear box and to go with that sound track. I've never loved rally racing, that mini does make me want to
OK. Now all we need is car vs Luge for the decider

anybody knows the soundtrack at the end of this video when the car slides mud across the camera?
Why is it called James May Vs British Gold Medalist, he isn't the one driving, he's just sitting there
This guy knows how to drive O.o
What song is playing as she takes off her helmet. I can't find it anywhere. And no it's not off the Tron soundtrack. If it is, tell me what track because I haven't found it.
I'm so attracted to James May... Come back to Lillehammer! Haha
anyone have a link for full ep's that works in the USA?

They edited in the tying up at 3:59 look closely to notice she doesn't pop out of the railing till the mini is near
WHO is the driver of that Mini ?? He's fuckin' EPIC!!!
MINI the best!
Lol, James at 2:10
Was that Chris Meek driving the Mini?
planking is a sport now! amazing :D
This is the second time they used the theme music from Tron. Y’all good?
It must have cost quite a bit to buy the rights for the Tron: Legacy music.
Sequential, it's standard for rally cars.
Lillehammer(or lillyhammer as he says) means "small hammer" in norwegian
Yep, from the Tron Legacy soundtrack.
For a second I thought the Rally boys were gonna lose. 😯 I'm happy they didn't. 😋😜
It's being challenged by a tea tray LMFAO.
i just did this challenge in dirt 3 but it was a bobsled team and it won't let me select a mitsubishi
That’s one beautiful missile.
@thnk4urself but he drooled over her too so...
The lady on the tea tray was really fast tho
What song starts @ 3:35
so much for captain slow that is one fast mini
i swear james always wears that hat when hes in the snow
and all to music from TRON... fuck yes!
what sort of gear leaver is that??
Awww I was hoping to see the part where James was driving it :(. Why'd they leave that part off?
Amy Williams!! I LOOOVVEEE YOU!!
@MrSidewaysUK Perhaps not. But I quite like him. I mean you must admit, driving a rally car ain't an easy task. Must give credit when credit is due. I liked the way he handled the car in such tricky conditions, etc.
lol now im not surprised
@Fierag She probably take the inside before she take the middle. Maybe.
3:44-3:45 and 4:26-4:29 Best moments

music is fall by daft punk
