1/6, series 17

Jeremy Clarkson celebrates the 50th birthday of the Jaguar E-type by driving a modern-day interpretation of this sports classic, and throwing a typically low-key party involving live music, classic fighter planes and the Royal Marines. Richard Hammond is in South Africa, where he tests a bigger, more rugged alternative to the Hummer, and James May enlists the help of Olympic athlete Amy Williams to try out the latest Mini rally car. Plus, the Stig takes the BMW 1-series M around the test track and another celebrity gets behind the wheel of the Reasonably Priced Car

Looking forward to it, however im not looking forward to the inevitable 'oooh top gear is crap now, its too far up its own arse, jeremy is crap, richards hair is all wrong bla bla bla.

A mate of mine went. Get there as early as you can. They turn away a lot of people

if you have genuine passes/tickets and your name is down, you will not be turned away

Calling bks on Vettel's time later as well, he'll inevitably be fastest because he's the current world champion.

Just a quick thought here for the doubters or myself.

Tell me, WHY would TG fabricate or not referee fairly the Mcl laptime?
I don't understand why they would bullst it.

There is something not quite gelling - in this month's EVO, times around Bedford's West circuit (which is fast and technical)

458 Italia 1:19.3
MP4 12-c 1:20.6


Fitting Corsa rubber to the 12-C gives it an extra second, but it is still then 0.3 second slower - not 3 seconds faster!

to be blunt, I would not pay any attention to that.

I seem to remember descriptions of the MP4-12c having hydraulic problems so not working optimally...

plus, its EVO magazine, it doesnt mean jack.

ooooh i like that jag.

[Castrol Craig]

transformers soundtrack..??

[Castrol Craig]

1200!!!
