Well, in his Renault days all he got was a Megane hatchback to take journalists around the Nords...

ho... ly... crap !

I liked the BAC Mono segment, also the Ferrari, even if they were a bit... shallow?

Better watch out if you happened to be on that exact road in about 12 years time...

I read your comment before watching the episode and I sort of thought: "he's mad"

you're right, I forgot about that one ! I was thinking that the last one that came on the track was the Corsa Nurburgring like 2 series ago...

Loved the hot hatches battle. Been a while since they featured one, but we got THREE !

balls to go with that sort of car, on that sort of track... which didn't have tarmac back then, and having to take cover from the sun, with the hand that should be operating the shifter... which current cars do not have...

James' nowadays grey hair is alright compared to Hammond's enormous belly...

Not saying it doesn't has it merits (I think he's completely overrated but he must be at least good in some way or another, I admit that), but Danica isn't the Ken Block of NASCAR or motorsports...

Ogier would disagree...

Hardly... Ken Block will never win a WRC race. Danica won at IRL, and rightfully so.

If by "the only bet is F1 if you really want to get media coverage" he means "we got media coverage because no one understood how much money we spend and how rubbish we were", then he's right. F1's the right place for them.

They are getting reasonably good cars. With the Liana and the Lacetti, it was ridiculous to see them going around. The Cee'd always looked well sorted, and I guess this Astra is on the same trend.

It's the other way round with the Senna-Prost crashes.

But, Richard, it isn't a hatchback

Don't worry, I've got an ace up my sleeve.

Scoring a full gold S License in GT2 is still the best achievement in gaming ever in my life. I still remember that 1:12.833 at Laguna with the Oreca Viper, 6 tenths faster than Gold laptime... god that was difficult !
