We sometimes forget amidst all of the fun and shenanigans that not only do Clarkson, Hammond and May know a lot about cars, but all 3 of these guys are really, really good drivers. They were racing in cars they had just purchased against race drivers who presumably were very experienced in rallycross, and they all did more than hold their own against them. And that includes May, who frankly had some rotten luck in his first two races.

It's a little bit of an exaggeration. I haven't been golfing since I was in Junior High, but when I did, you could rent a bucket of balls and a golf set for probably $50 with a small 18 hole course. Probably cheaper. The kind of prices they're quoting in this video (1,800 pounds/aprox. $2,500 USD for Jeremy's car) will get you a decent starter golf set with a membership to a decent golf course with a stocked Clubhouse, drinks, and a small shop. But you will need to pay FAR more than that for a GOOD top-of-the-line golf set (hand-made sets by Honma Golf of Japan go for $4,000-$7,000 USD, however, I found some perfectly decent sets from other brands on Ebay using a quick Google search for about $500 USD) and a posh golf course. So if you pick a premium, top-of-the-line set of clubs, expect to pay probably upwards of $6,000-$10,000 USD total for both the clubs and the membership, depending on the membership package you choose and the golf set you want. And if you want a membership to a world-class golf course, like one of the PGA Tournament stops, you'd better be VERY rich and have good connections. And be a damned good golfer. Otherwise, forget it.

@ARocketTaco

8 жыл бұрын

+Schizoman Yep, the MR2 just gets a bad rap for it because it's the only sample of mid-engine handling a lot of people have ever driven. All cars suffer from lift-off oversteer to a degree, as the car pivots forward and lifts weight off the rear wheels, but because mid-engine cars derive so much grip from the engine being over the rear axle they see a much larger loss from that shift. They also have a low polar moment of inertia (resistance to rotation) due to the weight being concentrated nearer the center (which is a big reason for mid-engined cars being so responsive), and because they're ass-end-heavy, when you decelerate and the engine mass wants to come forward, the back being out of line turns it into a lever pulling the car around. On a side note, one experienced autocrosser told me he used those properties to his advantage; he would tap the brakes into understeer-prone corners to force the car to turn in. Apparently the 93+ models which used revised suspension geometry to tame lift-off oversteer are harder to throw around.

@AGD_27

+Rocket Taco Yeah they use a slide for better entry in motorcycle racing they call it backing it in. They hit the brakes take the wieght off the back, bang down a couple gears, drop the clutch and the rear slides out then tip in and you have started the corner a 20 degrees. Look up Sam Lowes corner entry to get a master class in this technique.

Ok, that was just plain fun to watch. I was rooting for the hamster in the finals, he won but damn did the ape give him a run for his money.

As far as entertainment goes you just can't beat this. 3 blokes genuinely producing thrilling tv just because if there love of something. Nothing will ever beat classic Topgear

so happy for you guys, you both got the share the fun experience of racing each other, LOVE TOP GEAR LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

Jeremy's Winning Face FTW :D

aww man that was so exciting to watch again for the twentieth time

They're having so much fun. This is genuinely exciting

This was genuinely exciting, the Top Gear editing team was awesome.

"Jeremy improved massively: I am not last, not last I am second last!" Hahahaha 😀😀

"That was brilliant and I was last!!" Famous words by Garry C.

I love the fact they used the old Top Gear Rally theme in this.

One of my two favourite Richard Hammond scenes. *_"COME ON LITTLE CITROEN!!! EVERYTHING YA HAVE!!!"_* 😂😂😂 love it!

01:30 Wait is that the top gear rally report theme?

that was some pretty intence racing, i thouroughly enjoyed it. sure wish we had that sort of thing around here but its all paved short ovals, no fun to be had there.

Watched a rerun of this at a hotel not that long ago, one of the better hotel experiences ive had.

the final race was epic. best of top gear hands down

That looks genuinely fun!!!

Wining FACE lol priceless

"that was brilliant and I was laAAAAAst" 1:09 LOL that high pitch

Just an incredible race! Love it to bits!
