Did it look like the viper held back to let the rivian win to anyone else?

No, I thought the Rivian won it in the first 10m by getting its power down instantly at both ends while the Viper was spinning up its rears.

That truck is mighty impressive. It goes across country like a rally car & beats Vipers over a standing quarter, it has an interior like anTesla and it will still haul your big trailer.

Anyone else spot the blue Diablo in the scrapyard. Just after the Roller

Yeah, towards the end though the viper looked like it was gaining really quickly and then kind of held back.

Kind of fits in with electric cars, fast up to a point.

I could be wrong though

Looking at the trap times they ran high tens which isn't very impressive tbh.

That’s motorcycle pace.

When was this filmed? They're all standing around in thick coats and woolly hats.

Must have been months ago. Assume they did the whole batch of links all in one evening.

Christmas lights visible in shot behind the audience at the end.

Best episode of the series so far, but it's a low bar.

I thought the same, gained quickly and then when it got half a car length behind seemed to just match the speed of the rivian

Enjoyed tonight's episode, not one I'd bother watching again but was fun hour's entertainment

[heisthegaffer]

With the Rivian, it says there is a motor for each wheel and then shows a driveshaft; are motors central/inboard?

Why aren't the motors part of the axle assembly, are they too heavy or complex?

No, Chas'n' Dave.

I love that Rivian, just wish it didn’t look so gormless.
