Default Tonights Top Gear

Did anybody watch tonight's episode?

That just proves how much skill Lewis Hamilton has as a driver!
For a 23 year old who has grown up in race cars with traction control, semi-automatic gear boxes, all the computer assistance and the aerodynamics and downforce, to jump into an old 1200 BHP Turbo charged Man eater of a racing car, with manual transmission, no driving aids, and very little downforce and being able to drive it as easy and as well as he did

That a side, i think top gear did a brilliant job in honouring 'THE' best racing driver of all time!
Great ending i think.

yep, I bet it was great fun for him to drive that car, although I doubt they would have let him push it too hard.

the Senna thing was pretty sweet though.

The one thing I love the most in life is watching old video clips of f1 from that time. Just so sad I was only 3 yrs old when Senna crashed..

The Senna part on this episode of topgear really moved me.

I liked the Senna film, I didn't like him as a driver but appreciated his skill!!

Tom Cruise is a cock, but drove well!

Tom Cruise a whole second faster than Cameron Diaz after missing a gear, running wide and then 2-wheeling it?
Yeah right, my arse

Default Senna.

I'm very lucky to have worked at Williams F1 for the last 20 years and spent some time with Senna. I can comfirm he was in a different league to any other F1 driver. Brilliant episode of Top Gear and think they did him proud.

Lets see if the 2013 regulations can bring back that wheel to wheel racing again. Fingers crossed.

James.
