Calling each other by surname isn’t the sole reserve of public schools

Noel Edmonds, Angela Rippon, Tom Coyne, Kate Humble, Brendan Coogan and even Hammond were not motoring journalists (although Hammond did a bit about cars on his radio show). The vast majority of the presenters were simply that, presenters.

For most of Top Gear’s life it has been a motoring show presented, mainly, by motor journalists the entertainment bit came later.

I am not unhappy about this. Left field decision for sure but the show needs to be different but familiar, the worst thing they could do would be to completely copy the last format.

I’ve actually seen one in the wild

A quick read of Tavarish’s article, here, would have reduced your level of astonishment

Kia built rebranded Fords that were rebranded Mazdas

Fair point

Why does the F22 try to shoot the ground crew?

To be fair he did win GP2 the season before he moved up to F1. There have been far worse pay drivers in F1.

Drugs

That one only won Le Mans once. The Mk1 won twice, so you are incorrect.

Not to mention the Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Indians, etc, etc.

My right what?

Agreed, but the title of the article claims all the glory for one side

Ok so let’s change the headline to ‘Massive Global Automaker Uses All their Resources to Defeat Small Italian Sportscar Racing Team’

It was a Lola before it was a Ford

Factually correct is not nitpicking. But no go ahead, the GT40 was purely American and you also won WWII single-handed.

3 of the 4 victories were by British designed and built GT40's, makes me proud. 2 of those 3 were British run teams as well.

Forza is the only game that makes me want am X Bone
