The Grand Tour

I think a lot of bench racers underestimate the amount of skill required to be a good NASCAR driver by a fair amount.

With out a doubt. Going 200 mph into corners with inches between the cars and the walls. If you have ever noticed the drivers that come into nascar with a f1/ indy or other road racing back ground they are flops. They can make laps but they never run consistently or be competitive most end up going back to where they came from like Juan Pablo Montoya and Marcos Ambros, Danica Patrick while still competing isn't really competitive either more of a pretty face for the sport.

I thought Mike Skinner was a weird choice at first, but the character he is playing grew on me fast when I realized he hates foreign cars in the same way that the guys on top gear usually talk shit about Americans. I got a kick out of his "opinions" of the M2

"Couldn't pull a greasy string out of a dogs ass"

I got a chuckle out of that one

I just hope they call him Jennifer and bulldoze his house

They definitely didn't bulldoze his house ;D

thought it was solid - I'm stoked they're all back together. James May's continuation of the The Ferrari The Ferrari joke gets me every time.

The audience part looked too forced and overly scripted.

The joke about the Royal Air Force being the best, they didn't need to add so many cuts. A simple before, then after them looking beat up would have worked. Adding so many cuts seemed like filler and trying to force for laughs. That's really my only complaint, but it wasn't really something to complain about.

Rest of it was very good, I can't wait for long challenges and specials like on TG. The specials like Africa, South America, Arctic, etc were always my favs. Really looking forward to the rest of the season. The tripod is back!

No the times I referenced were on the tires The Grand Tour ran. The P1 went like 1.5 seconds faster on the Trofeo R's

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Yeah, I'm alright with Mike Skinner being the stig, he's definitely faster than any of us.



I thought the lap times were a little odd, I've never seen the P1 end up slowest in any test between those three cars. Also, Chris Harris filmed his P1/LaFerrari/918 video around the same time @ Portimao and went half a second faster in the Ferrari and Porsche, and 2 seconds faster in the P1

Remember the end where Clarkson said the p1 was a half second faster BEFORE they switched tires to a neutral compound. I bet they didn't do that in other test.

The Eboladrone looked like a workout.

And yes, the "driver"...he just seamed out of place.



But everything else was like it use to be. The visual was amazing.

Well they had mike skinner... Anyone familiar with nascar knows that mike skinner is a hard ass.... He's one of those guys where if your pissing him off. He'll punt you and your car into the grand stands for a cold beer with the fans.

I hated the new "Stig" I feel there are a lot better choices out there. Ben Collins is the obvious choice, but if it had to be an American Driver theres a lot of good names out there. I'm actually very interested in how Skinner got the job.
