1
00:00:22,340 --> 00:00:25,620
Hello and welcome to Top Gear.
2
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:28,660
On tonight's show,
Rory and I spend six hours
3
00:00:28,660 --> 00:00:31,740
in the Silverstone pits
with Chris Harris.
4
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:34,700
They don't call it endurance
racing for nothing.
5
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,020
But we start with this,
the Dacia Sandero,
6
00:00:38,020 --> 00:00:39,580
the cheapest car in Britain.
7
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:44,300
It costs �6,000 and it is
without a doubt...a car.
8
00:00:45,380 --> 00:00:48,420
And the producers reckon
that at that price the Sandero
9
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:49,740
is impossible to beat.
10
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:53,500
But we disagree, because for six
grand we think you can get something
11
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,180
with so much more pedigree,
presence, character.
12
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:01,020
That's right, so the producers
gave us each �6,000 and said,
13
00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:02,580
"OK, prove it."
14
00:01:03,900 --> 00:01:07,940
MUSIC: Layla
by Derek and the Dominos
15
00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:12,020
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...
16
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:16,460
..the 1988 Bentley Turbo R.
17
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:23,420
New, in today's money, �270,000.
18
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:26,900
Now, it's yours for just six grand.
19
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:31,420
And not to criticise it as a car,
but you buy a Sandero,
20
00:01:31,420 --> 00:01:34,340
you're basically admitting
that your life is over.
21
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:38,220
But you buy a Turbo R
and you're buying into history.
22
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:40,780
Hell...
23
00:01:40,780 --> 00:01:41,820
HORN BEEPS
24
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:44,700
..with a 6.75-litre Turbo V8,
25
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:47,540
you are buying into
the British establishment.
26
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:53,740
Mr Reid, wow.
27
00:01:53,740 --> 00:01:55,140
Splendid choice.
28
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:57,460
Mr LeBlanc, splendid choice, also.
29
00:01:57,460 --> 00:02:01,060
- I see you went Bentley. - Yep.
And I see you've gone Roller.
30
00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:02,300
Silver Shadow.
31
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:08,140
Back in 1975, this would have cost
you the equivalent of �130,000.
32
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:10,380
Today, six grand.
33
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,420
- You know who used
to drive these, right? - Who?
34
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:16,300
John Lennon, George Best,
Vidal Sassoon.
35
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:19,780
- All the greats. - Yeah.
36
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:21,140
Well, I think we've chosen well.
37
00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:22,220
CAR BLEEPS
38
00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:23,260
Yeah, excuse me.
39
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:28,380
Mr Harris on the other hand...
40
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:31,740
No, no, what are you doing?
41
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:35,580
The Mercedes-Benz 600 SEL,
the last of the truly
42
00:02:35,580 --> 00:02:37,180
over-engineered Mercs.
43
00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:40,460
They spent over 1 billion
on the R&D of this thing.
44
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:42,780
Where's the nobility?
Where's the majesty?
45
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:45,460
- Where's the heritage? - Heritage?
46
00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:47,100
You can't get more
heritage than this.
47
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,220
They invented the first car.
48
00:02:49,220 --> 00:02:52,020
In its day, this was the most
powerful Mercedes-Benz
49
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:54,020
- you could buy, OK?
- How much was it new?
50
00:02:54,020 --> 00:02:56,820
�180,000 accounting for inflation.
51
00:02:56,820 --> 00:02:59,380
I paid four grand for her.
52
00:02:59,380 --> 00:03:02,140
That means I could have bought one
of these and another half of one
53
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:05,460
of these for the price
of a Sandero. Look at it.
54
00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:08,900
It's actually more boring
than a Sandero.
55
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:10,980
Boring?
So what have you bought then?
56
00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:13,100
- A Bentley Turbo R. - Mm. - OK?
57
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:15,620
This has been used for
one of three things, Matthew.
58
00:03:15,620 --> 00:03:20,140
I'd say either filming an adult
movie, murder or people trafficking,
59
00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:21,580
possibly all three.
60
00:03:21,580 --> 00:03:24,700
- Rory, you?
- Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
61
00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:27,140
Two words, wedding car.
62
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:29,380
Now that was a low blow.
63
00:03:29,380 --> 00:03:30,860
CHRIS LAUGHS
64
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:37,300
So to start settling a few scores
we decided to head to the track.
65
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:42,100
Boring is just another way of saying
consistently brilliant.
66
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:43,140
We all know that.
67
00:03:43,140 --> 00:03:44,980
Because if you say a car
has got personality,
68
00:03:44,980 --> 00:03:48,420
what you actually mean
is it's probably going to break.
69
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:54,940
This was unquestionably the best car
in the world in 1992.
70
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:57,260
Neither of those things
were the best car in the world
71
00:03:57,260 --> 00:03:59,260
when they were made
and they're not now.
72
00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:06,380
This thing is as smooth as the day
it rolled out of the factory.
73
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:09,580
It is mint, apart from the window
wipers,
74
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:12,020
which I cannot turn off at all.
75
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:15,740
They still go regardless of what
position you put the switch in.
76
00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:19,100
So what? Who cares?
77
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:20,540
Look at that view.
78
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:25,380
The sweeping prow of the bonnet, the
Spirit of Ecstasy standing proud.
79
00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:27,260
Tell me that's not worth six grand.
80
00:04:29,860 --> 00:04:33,900
I mean, this car is three decades
old and everything still works.
81
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:37,900
The electric wing mirrors work,
the electric seats work,
82
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:39,740
the air conditioner works.
83
00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:44,820
And it's got that faint turbo
whistle which just lets you know
84
00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:49,460
you've got a little something
special under there...
85
00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:50,780
Hello, guvnor.
86
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:54,860
But just how special?
87
00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:59,740
Well, arriving at Dunsfold,
the only sensible thing to do
88
00:04:59,740 --> 00:05:03,140
was line up for a
top-speed drag race.
89
00:05:03,140 --> 00:05:04,940
OK, you guys ready?
90
00:05:04,940 --> 00:05:06,740
I'm ready.
91
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:08,380
If we must.
92
00:05:08,380 --> 00:05:14,260
Three, two, one, go.
93
00:05:14,260 --> 00:05:15,540
What's he doing?
94
00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:19,580
I cheated, it's my only hope.
95
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:20,900
Come on, old girl.
96
00:05:22,380 --> 00:05:24,180
That's one Rolls-Royce handled.
97
00:05:26,180 --> 00:05:28,340
Bye-bye, Mr LeBlanc.
98
00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:29,940
Look at that Merc go.
99
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:37,140
OK, that's utterly hopeless,
that is utterly hopeless.
100
00:05:37,140 --> 00:05:38,620
That's 100.
101
00:05:40,460 --> 00:05:41,700
90.
102
00:05:43,620 --> 00:05:48,140
60, 62.
103
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:50,380
Yeah, by the end of the runway...
104
00:05:50,380 --> 00:05:51,780
MATT LAUGHS
105
00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:54,860
- Yes, winner! - Act like we've been
here for a while.
106
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:58,540
..the result was, um, decisive.
107
00:05:58,540 --> 00:06:00,140
I can't wait for this.
108
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:04,260
Can't wait for this.
109
00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:08,740
- There you are. - Hi.
110
00:06:08,740 --> 00:06:12,380
- What happened to you?
- I was a bit slow.
111
00:06:12,380 --> 00:06:14,500
Yeah, what did you get?
112
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:15,540
70.
113
00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:16,660
CHRIS LAUGHS
114
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:18,620
70? Are you serious?
115
00:06:18,620 --> 00:06:21,780
It's a safety feature, you can't go
quicker than 70 in the UK.
116
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:25,860
- You'll never lose your licence.
- Do you smell that? - Yeah.
117
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:27,460
That's bull BLEEP.
118
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:29,940
That's what that is. 70.
119
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:34,460
- I got 110. - 135mph. - Yeah.
120
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:37,820
You poke fun at my boring car
and it's still smoking along,
121
00:06:37,820 --> 00:06:39,300
it was pulling as well.
122
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,620
- Definitely 155 with a bit more room.
- Yeah?
123
00:06:41,620 --> 00:06:43,620
What would you do
with a bit more room?
124
00:06:43,620 --> 00:06:45,260
70.
125
00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:49,620
Now you know why the bride
is always late to the wedding.
126
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:52,180
Thank you, appreciate it.
127
00:06:52,180 --> 00:06:56,380
OK, "Congratulations
on making it this far.
128
00:06:56,380 --> 00:06:59,540
"Time to test how good your cars
are at being cars.
129
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:01,860
"You will now compete in a series
130
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:04,740
"of challenges
against the Sandero..."
131
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:09,300
- Easy. - "..driven by the Stig." Ooh.
132
00:07:10,380 --> 00:07:14,580
So, the producers wanted
to pit our six grand bargains
133
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:16,460
against Dacia's finest.
134
00:07:16,460 --> 00:07:18,380
And clearly they meant business.
135
00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:22,460
First up, it would be a run through
the state of the art
136
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:27,060
Top Gear real-world urban
driving simulator thing.
137
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:30,020
Oh, look at this, they have really
pushed the boat out.
138
00:07:30,020 --> 00:07:32,580
All the bells and whistles.
139
00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:35,260
You know, I don't understand
80% of what you say.
140
00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:38,500
Ooh.
141
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:41,300
OK, when the light
turns green, you go.
142
00:07:42,820 --> 00:07:45,900
He's not... I don't think he likes
the car. OK, he's got it.
143
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:54,660
Now, as a detailed recreation
of a typical British town,
144
00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:58,180
the simulator comprises
three distinct zones.
145
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:00,740
First, the roadworks.
146
00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:03,460
I cannot believe that our cars
will be slower than that, apart
147
00:08:03,460 --> 00:08:06,780
from Rory's, which I think
will be slower than that.
148
00:08:06,780 --> 00:08:09,740
Then the speed bump-strewn
alleyways of the market square.
149
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:13,380
Have you noticed that it looks quite
tight in a small hatchback.
150
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:16,940
What's it going to be like
in a 17-foot long luxo-barge?
151
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:22,020
And finally the slalom street
of parked cars,
152
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:25,820
topped with an unreasonably
tight U-turn.
153
00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:27,860
Are we going to get round there
or not?
154
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:29,580
No is the short answer.
155
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:37,260
Ooh, OK, 55 seconds.
156
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:39,340
- 55.28 actually. - Not bad.
157
00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:41,340
- All right, who is first? - Me.
158
00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:42,540
OK.
159
00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:45,660
- I'm removing my jumper for extra
lightness and speed. - OK.
160
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:48,620
Such a sad man.
161
00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:54,860
Yeah, don't worry.
Sorry, just wait there.
162
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:56,580
Are you on your phone?
163
00:08:56,580 --> 00:08:58,620
I'm on other cool features
of my car.
164
00:08:58,620 --> 00:09:00,220
The coolest is this. Look at this.
165
00:09:00,220 --> 00:09:03,420
When I engage reverse gear,
two little poles come out of
166
00:09:03,420 --> 00:09:06,660
my rear wings just to show me
the extremities of the car.
167
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:07,900
How amazing is that?
168
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:10,980
That's what 1 billion
of engineering gets you.
169
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:12,620
No-one asked you, wedding driver.
170
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:15,340
All right, come on,
enough fooling around. Window up.
171
00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:22,660
Cor, that's narrow.
172
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:30,020
Ha-ha, stylish.
173
00:09:31,420 --> 00:09:33,780
Oh, God, those bumps are quite high.
174
00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:35,500
Don't want to hit anything here.
175
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,140
I think he picked up
some debris there.
176
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:44,020
You know, technically,
it is very good.
177
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:49,700
I just think it's completely
lacking in panache.
178
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:52,220
Oh, that is a good word.
179
00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:56,100
Now, those little poles
will be quite handy
180
00:09:56,100 --> 00:09:58,220
so I don't hit anything
behind me.

CAR ALARM WAILS
182
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:03,740
Come on, Mercedes.
183
00:10:06,140 --> 00:10:07,260
And he's done.
184
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:11,580
- My...goodness. - Was that necessary?
185
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:14,140
Oh, it's got to be a winner.
186
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:16,740
- Not yet it wasn't. - Go.
187
00:10:19,340 --> 00:10:21,820
Time for a lesson.
188
00:10:21,820 --> 00:10:22,980
In panache.
189

CHRIS LAUGHS
190
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:28,580
All right, all right.
191
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:32,580
This car was never really designed
for anything like this.
192
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:37,580
Oh, she's mean.
193
00:10:41,020 --> 00:10:43,940
- It's magnificent. - It does look good,
but it is a car designed not to go
194
00:10:43,940 --> 00:10:45,980
around corners going round corners.
195
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:49,260
This is going to take
a little while.
196
00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:54,940
- And she died on me.
- I think we have an issue.
197
00:10:54,940 --> 00:10:55,980
Is that broken?
198
00:10:55,980 --> 00:10:58,780
Now, I would never want to delight
in someone else's misfortune,
199
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:00,340
but, yes!
200
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:03,380
Come on.

Come on, come on, come on.
203
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:14,020
- Oh, that's trouble, that's trouble.
- Whoa!
204
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:16,020
I think we've blown something.
205
00:11:16,020 --> 00:11:18,740
- There he goes. - Yeah. - There he goes.
206
00:11:18,740 --> 00:11:21,020
Oh, look, it's a total lose.
207
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:25,060
There we go.
208
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:26,780
We find that massive coolant leaks
209
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:29,340
always help with the braking
performance of the Bentley.
210
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:31,260
Oh, yeah.
211
00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:32,580
What a hopeless BLEEP box.

00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:35,820

CAR ALARM WAILS
215
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:39,700
Oh, there we go, the final insult!
216
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:44,020
Just move from one finger
to two fingers...
217
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:45,540
That, my friend, is panache.
218

CAR BLEEPS
219
00:11:50,780 --> 00:11:53,980
And with most of the Bentley's
panache now soaking
220
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:55,300
into the tarmac...
221
00:11:56,620 --> 00:11:59,460
..there was still the small matter
of the Rolls.
222
00:11:59,460 --> 00:12:01,540
Oh, he's off.
223
00:12:01,540 --> 00:12:03,820
Launch her into
the first right-hander.
224
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,660
OK, what kind of turning
does she have?
225
00:12:10,660 --> 00:12:13,140
Yeah, look at him go.
226
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:16,020
She is a boat.
227
00:12:18,220 --> 00:12:21,700
Get wide, get wide.
228
00:12:23,180 --> 00:12:25,220
OK, sorry.
229
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:30,700
OK, this bit is important,
this bit is important.
230
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:32,180
Reverse gear.
231
00:12:33,180 --> 00:12:34,500
OK.
232
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,220
Drive, drive, drive, drive.
233
00:12:36,220 --> 00:12:39,060
Come on! Come on!
234
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:43,020
That felt good.
235
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:44,180
That felt good.
236
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:47,780
It's quite tough, isn't it?
237
00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:51,660
- What is it? - It's a music thing.
238
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:53,900
Oh, it's a little xylophone.
239
00:12:53,900 --> 00:12:56,300
- Here, did you pay for that?
- A bonus prize.
240
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:58,580
MATT AND RORY LAUGH
241
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:05,140
So after three eventful runs
through the simulator thing,
242
00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:07,220
it was time to find out the results.
243
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:14,740
OK, now, the Sandero,
if you remember, did it in 55.28.
244
00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:20,020
In third place, the Bentley Turbo R
driven by yours truly
245
00:13:20,020 --> 00:13:23,780
with 01:35.37. Oof.
246
00:13:23,780 --> 00:13:25,940
All right, second place...
247
00:13:26,940 --> 00:13:30,860
The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow,
one minute, eight seconds.
248
00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:32,100
Not bad.
249
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:36,420
First place, Mercedes 600 SEL,
57 seconds. Not bad.
250
00:13:36,420 --> 00:13:40,060
- Slower than the...? - Sandero.
- Slower than the Sandero. - Really?
251
00:13:40,060 --> 00:13:42,020
Yeah, yeah, by two seconds.
252
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:46,340
Bad start for our luxury bargains
then.
253
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:49,140
And the producers weren't done yet,
254
00:13:49,140 --> 00:13:52,860
because next to test whether they
drive as straight and true
255
00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:54,300
as their new car rival,
256
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:58,460
they wanted another drag race,
a no-hands drag race.
257
00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:03,940
Some ideas just sound bad
from the outset, don't they?
258
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:08,620
The no-hands drag race must sit
at the top of the list of bad ideas.
259
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:17,460
Hey, Rory, how are you feeling
about yourself over there?
260
00:14:17,460 --> 00:14:20,620
I'm feeling good, the Rolls-Royce
was built for comfort.
261
00:14:20,620 --> 00:14:24,780
This is going to be the most
comfortable crash in history.
262
00:14:28,820 --> 00:14:31,340
So, here we go, then.

00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:42,580
Oh, boy! Oh, no, I'm heading
straight for Matt! Aaah!
265
00:14:42,580 --> 00:14:44,340
Oh, BLEEP!
266
00:14:44,340 --> 00:14:48,620
It's tracking left,
it's tracking left.
267
00:14:48,620 --> 00:14:50,060
Tyre wall!
268
00:14:50,060 --> 00:14:53,860
This doesn't look good,
I'm heading on the grass.
269
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:57,180
This is not great.
Chris has lost control!

TYRES SCREECH
271
00:15:00,940 --> 00:15:02,980
That was quite close.
272
00:15:02,980 --> 00:15:04,300
Jeez!
273
00:15:05,940 --> 00:15:07,660
Well, that was close!
274
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:11,220
What's Rory doing?
275
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:16,020
Oh, what a great off-roader!
276
00:15:17,140 --> 00:15:20,340
Unfortunately, though,
that wasn't the test,
277
00:15:20,340 --> 00:15:23,140
and by simply driving
in a straight line,
278
00:15:23,140 --> 00:15:26,580
the Sandero chalked up
yet another win.
279
00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:30,260
That was total insanity.
280
00:15:30,260 --> 00:15:33,700
So what we've determined
is that all three of our cars
281
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,660
basically do not steer correctly.
282
00:15:37,940 --> 00:15:40,740
Still, we'd escaped
relatively unscathed,
283
00:15:40,740 --> 00:15:44,740
and there was still one challenge
left to prove our cars' worth.
284
00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:46,140
That guy gets around, huh?
285
00:15:46,140 --> 00:15:47,180
Stay safe.
286
00:15:48,260 --> 00:15:49,780
"Time for a pursuit race.
287
00:15:49,780 --> 00:15:52,540
"You will now attempt to catch
the Sandero on a single lap
288
00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:53,860
"of the Top Gear track.
289
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:57,020
"For every horsepower your cars

290
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:59,300
"you will start a metre

291
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:02,980
"So first it's time to find
out how much horsepower
292
00:16:02,980 --> 00:16:04,820
"your cars actually have."
293
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:07,060
- Which means... - Dyno run.
294
00:16:07,060 --> 00:16:08,620
A dynamometer run.
295
00:16:08,620 --> 00:16:10,540
- Bring it. - Bring it?
296
00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:11,940
That's what I said.
297
00:16:11,940 --> 00:16:13,980
If only you could put those wipers
on the dyno.
298
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:16,820
- Do they ever shut off?
- That's character.
299
00:16:16,820 --> 00:16:18,180
It certainly is.
300
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:20,980
- Really, how much horsepower do
you think that still has? - 189.
301
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,060
- You think that has 189?
- All day long.
302
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:25,540
You'd have 190 if you
could get those wipers off.
303
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:30,260
He couldn't.
304
00:16:32,020 --> 00:16:37,340
On the rolling road, the Rolls
produced a paltry 161.9 horsepower.
305
00:16:37,340 --> 00:16:42,980
The Bentley conjured a slightly more
respectable 262.1 horsepower.
306
00:16:42,980 --> 00:16:48,500
And the Mercedes frankly embarrassed
them both with near enough 380.
307
00:16:50,780 --> 00:16:54,980
However, what that all meant was
Rory would start just 87 metres
308
00:16:54,980 --> 00:16:59,820
behind the Sandero,
Matt another 100 metres behind him,
309
00:16:59,820 --> 00:17:03,300
while the Merc and I had it all
to do with
310
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:05,900
a massive 305 metres to make up.
311
00:17:08,980 --> 00:17:10,380
All right.
312
00:17:10,380 --> 00:17:13,300
I guess this is Germany
versus Britain...
313
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:15,180
versus...Romania.
314
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:20,980
Time, then, for one last shot
at the Sandero.

Matt's got a problem,
he's not moving.
322
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:37,340
Oh, oh, no! Oh!
323
00:17:37,340 --> 00:17:40,380
The Bentley had given up
the fight immediately.
324
00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:42,100
Ah...
325
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:44,580
It would be down
to just the two of us...
326
00:17:44,580 --> 00:17:46,820
Come on, Mr Mercedes!
327
00:17:46,820 --> 00:17:49,700
..to try to defeat the Sandero.
328
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:52,980
All right, braking in,
coming in hard!

00:17:57,740 --> 00:18:04,980
But approaching Chicago, Rory's
Rolls was clearly utterly useless.
332
00:18:04,980 --> 00:18:07,940
I'll tell you what,
the Stig's quick in that thing!
333
00:18:07,940 --> 00:18:09,540
Where's Chris? Where's Chris?
334
00:18:10,660 --> 00:18:11,740
Ah, he's on my tail!
335
00:18:12,740 --> 00:18:14,500
Come on, Merc!
336
00:18:15,580 --> 00:18:19,940
So, once again, it was up
to the Merc to take the initiative.
337
00:18:19,940 --> 00:18:21,180
No!
338
00:18:21,180 --> 00:18:24,180
That is not the racetrack,
that is cheating.
339
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:25,260
I'm cheating.
340
00:18:28,420 --> 00:18:30,100
Where the hell is Matt?!
341
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:32,340
CAR ALARM BEEPS
342
00:18:32,340 --> 00:18:34,460
BLEEP!
343
00:18:36,980 --> 00:18:39,180
With just three corners to go...
344
00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:41,780
Come on!
345
00:18:41,780 --> 00:18:44,380
..it was now just a two-horse race.
346
00:18:44,380 --> 00:18:47,420
Harris is on the Stig.
Stiggy's holding on!
347
00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:51,620
Let's catch him, let's catch him,
let's catch him.
348
00:18:56,900 --> 00:18:59,060
I'm not going to catch him,
I can't catch him,
349
00:18:59,060 --> 00:19:00,500
he's got too much grip!
350
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:11,820
HE COUGHS
351
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:16,860
Sadly, in what was very much
the theme of the day...
352
00:19:16,860 --> 00:19:19,060
Chris, please tell me you won that.
353
00:19:19,060 --> 00:19:20,580
No, I didn't - I didn't!
354
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:23,100
It's too grippy, that thing.
355
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:26,220
..it was yet another win
for the Sandero.
356
00:19:31,780 --> 00:19:33,100
Shall we go and help him?
357
00:19:33,100 --> 00:19:35,180
- He's a very proud man.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
358
00:19:35,180 --> 00:19:37,340
And he likes to push
his Bentley on his own, OK?
359
00:19:37,340 --> 00:19:40,060
- Yeah. - Come on.
360
00:19:40,060 --> 00:19:42,140
- If nothing else, it's good exercise.
- It is, yeah.
361
00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:44,100
Put your back into it, Matt!
362
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:45,420
That's great work.
363
00:19:46,820 --> 00:19:47,860
Great work.
364
00:19:50,020 --> 00:19:51,700
Come join us.
365
00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:52,860
Why...
366
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:55,060
HE BREATHES HEAVILY
367
00:19:55,060 --> 00:19:58,140
Why did you have to park
all the way down here? Huh?
368
00:19:58,140 --> 00:19:59,380
What am I, an asshole?
369
00:19:59,380 --> 00:20:02,980
That's not the lightweight version
of that, I don't know if you guys
are aware of that.
370
00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:05,260
- I thought it was the R.
- That's the lead one.
371
00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:10,740
- It's not really a standard bearer
for British engineering, is it,
right now? - No.
372
00:20:10,740 --> 00:20:13,020
- It's not flying the flag, is it?
- It's not.
373
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:14,980
Hey, how are you?
374
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:17,020
Thank you.
375
00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:18,980
Careful, mind the Bentley.
376
00:20:18,980 --> 00:20:21,860
- Yeah, you might break it. - Yeah!
377
00:20:21,860 --> 00:20:23,660
"You will now drive 100 miles..."
378
00:20:23,660 --> 00:20:25,340
Are you kidding me?!
379
00:20:25,340 --> 00:20:27,380
Come on!
380
00:20:27,380 --> 00:20:29,140
Oh-ho-ho!
381
00:20:29,140 --> 00:20:31,940
"..to Silverstone, where
you and your cars will take part
382
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:35,660
"in a six-hour endurance
race tomorrow.
383
00:20:35,660 --> 00:20:37,140
"Don't be late!"
384
00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:40,460
- OK, who's got the rope?
You got rope? - Right! Right!
385
00:20:40,460 --> 00:20:42,740
It's that way, right?
386
00:20:42,740 --> 00:20:44,980
HE GROANS
387
00:20:47,820 --> 00:20:49,700
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
388
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:55,100
Yeah. Yeah.
It's a car and a work-out.
389
00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:57,540
And we'll pick that up later
in the show, but now it's time
390
00:20:57,540 --> 00:21:00,260
to put a star in our
Reasonably Fast Car.
391
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:03,700
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Matt Baker!
392
00:21:07,620 --> 00:21:10,700
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
393
00:21:13,060 --> 00:21:16,220
Hello, hello, hello. Oh, man!
394
00:21:16,220 --> 00:21:18,340
Oh, we are so excited
to have you down here,
395
00:21:18,340 --> 00:21:21,740
because, Matt Baker,
unlike Chris Harris,
396
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:24,660
you appreciate
the finer things in life.
397
00:21:24,660 --> 00:21:28,340
Your heavy plant equipment -
JCBs, diggers, dozers,
398
00:21:28,340 --> 00:21:30,460
- excavators, you like it all, right?
- Oh...
399
00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:31,820
Sorry, could you do that again?
400
00:21:31,820 --> 00:21:33,460
Digger, dozer, excavator.
401
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:34,740
Am I right or am I wrong?
402
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:38,380
Absolutely bang-on, yeah,
anything that can't go over 30mph
403
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:40,300
is my kind of territory,
to be honest with you.
404
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:44,660
But, yeah, it all stems
from growing up on a farm,
405
00:21:44,660 --> 00:21:48,060
really, and having the most
incredible playground to play in,
406
00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:51,380
and I can't remember the first time
I kind of got behind a wheel,
407
00:21:51,380 --> 00:21:54,100
because, you know, I was so young.
408
00:21:54,100 --> 00:21:56,020
I was only...
Yeah, there's a picture of me...
409
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:57,180
There you go!
410
00:21:57,180 --> 00:22:01,020
Goodness me, on a Fordson Major
there, beautiful tractor.
411
00:22:01,020 --> 00:22:04,020
And the thing is, we had a neighbour
who lived at the end of our farm
412
00:22:04,020 --> 00:22:07,140
track, sadly he's no longer with us,
but this man was the most generous
413
00:22:07,140 --> 00:22:11,260
guy, and he had the most magical
collection of all this vintage farm
414
00:22:11,260 --> 00:22:15,300
machinery, and he taught me
how to drive when I was
really, really young.
415
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:18,300
And so every night after school, or,
you know, on weekends
416
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:21,580
and this, that and the other,
Malcolm was over with the next bit
417
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:23,380
of kit, and it was just magical.
418
00:22:23,380 --> 00:22:25,420
And, like I say, the freedom
that you have on a farm
419
00:22:25,420 --> 00:22:27,780
when you're a young lad growing up,
I had a quad, and I used
420
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,220
- to take my dogs, and we would
just... - Awesome, awesome.
421
00:22:30,220 --> 00:22:32,340
- Shall I just leave you two to it?
- No, no...
422
00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:35,500
Well, this is the thing,
whenever we get together,
we just talk about farming.
423
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:39,580
We do, we do, and you've driven
pretty much every kind of vehicle
there is to drive.
424
00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:41,980
- Yeah, yeah. - What about fast cars?
425
00:22:41,980 --> 00:22:45,860
Yeah, well, no, that's the thing,
I've never really driven...
426
00:22:45,860 --> 00:22:49,060
Like I said,
anything that goes over 30mph,
427
00:22:49,060 --> 00:22:50,980
really, isn't my domain at all.
428
00:22:50,980 --> 00:22:53,420
- And that's where we come in
here at Top Gear. - Yes!
429
00:22:53,420 --> 00:22:55,980
We invited you down
earlier in the year,
430
00:22:55,980 --> 00:22:58,860
but things didn't go quite
as planned, did they?
431
00:22:58,860 --> 00:23:01,900
Well, no, Chris,
we went out for a drive on...
432
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:04,540
Well, what looked like a frosty
morning, but it turned out
433
00:23:04,540 --> 00:23:07,020
to be an icy, icy, icy morning.
434
00:23:07,020 --> 00:23:09,060
I think we've got a video
of this, haven't we?
435
00:23:09,060 --> 00:23:11,300
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's take
a look at your training lap
436
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:14,580
- with Chris, the last
time you were here. - OK!
437
00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:15,620
This is great!
438
00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:18,460
Before we go, we don't expect
too much of you,
439
00:23:18,460 --> 00:23:21,540
- it's very, very slippery,
this is a sighting run. - Yeah.
440
00:23:21,540 --> 00:23:24,980
And I know that you enjoy living -
and so do I.
441
00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:26,060
LAUGHTER
442
00:23:26,060 --> 00:23:28,100
If it looks big,
the size of a building
443
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:29,820
or an aircraft, avoid it.
444
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:32,620
- OK! - Good. Let's go.
445
00:23:32,620 --> 00:23:36,180
This is treacherous here,
try a bit of throttle now.
446
00:23:37,460 --> 00:23:38,540
Whoa!
447
00:23:39,860 --> 00:23:42,020
- A bit more throttle. - Whoo!
448
00:23:43,220 --> 00:23:44,500
Whoo!
449
00:23:45,860 --> 00:23:47,300
Beauty!
450
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:49,740
Absolute unbelievable...
451
00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:51,500
You don't get much warning, do you?
452
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:53,980
Whoa!
453
00:23:56,620 --> 00:23:58,620
- Yes! - Stay in it, yes!
454
00:23:58,620 --> 00:24:01,900
Eat your heart out,
Torvill and Dean!
455
00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:05,060
That is wicked.
456
00:24:05,060 --> 00:24:06,500
Whoa!
457
00:24:08,500 --> 00:24:10,020
And still going.
458
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:12,340
Yes, yes!
459
00:24:12,340 --> 00:24:13,700
Whoo!
460
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:17,780
No!
461
00:24:17,780 --> 00:24:19,820
Oh, yeah!
462
00:24:19,820 --> 00:24:21,980
That's a beauty,
we might need a rescue.
463
00:24:21,980 --> 00:24:23,980
LAUGHTER
464
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:30,300
Thanks for having me back!
465
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:32,180
Now, we have seen...
466
00:24:32,180 --> 00:24:35,060
We have seen bad conditions before,
but nothing like that,
467
00:24:35,060 --> 00:24:38,940
that was black ice everywhere,
everywhere, so we couldn't let
468
00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:40,940
you do a timed lap
in those conditions.
469
00:24:40,940 --> 00:24:43,980
But we were determined
not to waste the day,
470
00:24:43,980 --> 00:24:46,060
so what we did is we came up
with a little game,
471
00:24:46,060 --> 00:24:50,020
- because, as I said, Matt Baker,
unlike Chris Harris... - Come on!
472
00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:54,340
..appreciates the finer things
in life, like digging holes, right?
473
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:55,460
Sure enough.
474
00:24:55,460 --> 00:24:59,580
You see, Chris, he does not
appreciate the digging of a hole.
475
00:24:59,580 --> 00:25:01,700
Not unless I have to.
476
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:04,380
If you have to dig a hole,
that's work.
477
00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:07,380
- If you're just digging a hole,
that's fun! - Oh, man.
478
00:25:07,380 --> 00:25:11,180
For me, JCBs were
like the modern Xbox.
479
00:25:11,180 --> 00:25:13,540
So when I, you know,
if I wanted to play on something
480
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:15,940
like that, I used to go out
with a digger and dig holes...
481
00:25:15,940 --> 00:25:18,660
You're basically the same person,
but you just sound more Durham.
482
00:25:18,660 --> 00:25:20,460
Yeah, yeah!
483
00:25:20,460 --> 00:25:23,700
We had a massive pile of road
chippings at the end of our kind
484
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:25,860
of farm road there,
and so I was forever,
485
00:25:25,860 --> 00:25:28,500
you know, it was my pride and joy,
our farm track, I wanted to try
486
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:31,100
and get it as level as possible,
any little potholes or anything
487
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:32,900
like that, you know,
it was my pride and joy.
488
00:25:32,900 --> 00:25:34,940
It's like listening
to yourself talk, isn't it?
489
00:25:34,940 --> 00:25:37,100
It really is - would you be quiet?
490
00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:40,460
So what we did,
last time he was here,
491
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:42,860
it was snowed out,
so I hustled up some equipment,
492
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:46,940
and we headed out for a good
old-fashioned Texas-style dig-off.
493
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:49,180
- What is that? - Shh!
494
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:53,540
OK, what we have here
is a little challenge between myself
495
00:25:53,540 --> 00:25:55,100
and Mr Baker.
496
00:25:55,100 --> 00:26:00,380
We have two identical JCB 3CXs,
the quintessential backhoe,
497
00:26:00,380 --> 00:26:02,260
the ultimate little digger.
498
00:26:02,260 --> 00:26:04,220
And we're going
to have a little race.
499
00:26:04,220 --> 00:26:05,460
All we need is a referee...
500
00:26:05,460 --> 00:26:06,860
Hey, look who it is.
501
00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:09,220
It's Chris Harris in his pyjamas.
502
00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:10,820
What am I doing here?
503
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:13,020
You're on whistling duties, OK?
504
00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:16,860
Deepest hole in ten minutes,
no packing. OK?
505
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:18,900
- OK. Matt, are you ready? - Yeah!
506
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:20,300
Matt, are you ready?
507
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:21,580
- Here we go! - Hang on!
508
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,820
Chris, get out the way,
I can't see you in that outfit.
509
00:26:23,820 --> 00:26:26,580
- Oh, sorry, sorry.
- It's not the ideal outfit for snow.
510
00:26:26,580 --> 00:26:28,660
- But are you ready? - I think so.
511
00:26:28,660 --> 00:26:31,140
Three, two, one!
512
00:26:31,140 --> 00:26:34,380
HE BLOWS WHISTLE
513
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:37,660
- Oh, that's a good bite right there.
- Come on, Matt!
514
00:26:39,340 --> 00:26:42,500
Lovely trowel action here
by this Matt.
515
00:26:42,500 --> 00:26:46,780
Let's not forget that Matt Baker
came second on
Strictly Come Dancing.
516
00:26:46,780 --> 00:26:50,260
That kind of competitive attitude
is so useful when it comes
517
00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:52,380
to a digging competition.
518
00:26:52,380 --> 00:26:56,500
That is two trowelfuls
compared to LeBlanc's one.
519
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:58,420
Look how happy LeBlanc is.
520
00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:04,820
The trick here, I think,
is to just be nice and smooth.
521
00:27:04,820 --> 00:27:07,900
I think you're getting hung
up on the aesthetic of digging.
522
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:10,900
- You're going for the perfect
scoop, aren't you? - Yeah!
523
00:27:10,900 --> 00:27:12,660
What am I supposed to be doing?
524
00:27:12,660 --> 00:27:16,860
- Digging a hole really fast. - Oh!
525
00:27:16,860 --> 00:27:19,260
Maybe I'll sneak one bucketload
into his hole.
526
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:22,620
Oi, LeBlanc!
527
00:27:22,620 --> 00:27:24,460
LeBlanc, you can't...
528
00:27:24,460 --> 00:27:27,580
Right, this is going to end badly,
this is going to end badly!
529
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,980
I tell you what, I'm not
going to get Matt LeBlanc to do
530
00:27:29,980 --> 00:27:31,660
any ground work on our farm!
531
00:27:33,260 --> 00:27:34,940
One minute to go!
532
00:27:34,940 --> 00:27:36,020
Whoo!
533
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:41,020
He's a good operator,
that Matt Baker.
534
00:27:41,020 --> 00:27:42,380
Come on!
535
00:27:42,380 --> 00:27:46,980
Four, three, two, one!
536
00:27:46,980 --> 00:27:48,700
Come on, come on, come on, come on!
537
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:49,740
LeBlanc!
538
00:27:49,740 --> 00:27:51,020
MATT BAKER LAUGHS
539
00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:56,060
- Hey! - Oi, cheeky! - What?
I can't hear you! - Stop!
540
00:27:56,060 --> 00:27:59,220
Now, how are we going to work out
who has the deepest hole?
541
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:01,340
OK, well, you need to be
the measuring stick.
542
00:28:01,340 --> 00:28:02,940
Why?
543
00:28:02,940 --> 00:28:04,500
Because.
544
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:05,980
OK.
545
00:28:05,980 --> 00:28:09,100
First of all, Matthew, I want
to compliment you on your hole.
546
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:11,540
- It's a lovely hole.
- That is a good hole, thank you.
547
00:28:11,540 --> 00:28:12,820
- OK. - Get in there.
548
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:15,660
LAUGHTER
549
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:17,620
Get in, make sure you get
in the deepest part.
550
00:28:17,620 --> 00:28:19,020
I am in the deepest part.
551
00:28:19,020 --> 00:28:23,420
- I can see the grass,
so I'm at field height. - Yeah.
552
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:28,140
- Therefore this hole is almost
exactly as deep as me. - So 5'2"?
553
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:31,140
- Five feet? - 5'10". - 4'11"?
554
00:28:31,140 --> 00:28:34,540
- Other Matthew, your hole... - Yeah.
- It's another great looking hole.
555
00:28:34,540 --> 00:28:36,220
- Thanks. - It looks quite deep. - Yeah.
556
00:28:36,220 --> 00:28:38,460
- Will you help me out if I...?
- Absolutely.
557
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,300
- Oh, my God! - Yes!
558
00:28:44,300 --> 00:28:47,700
I can't see any of
the field from here.
559
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:51,020
Which leads me to believe this is a
deeper hole than that hole.
560
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:53,060
Are you standing up straight
right now?
561
00:28:53,060 --> 00:28:54,660
You're such a child!
562
00:28:54,660 --> 00:28:56,940
Oh, brilliant! I enjoyed that.
563
00:28:56,940 --> 00:28:58,580
- Well done, you got me! - Thanks, Matt.
564
00:28:58,580 --> 00:28:59,940
You're pretty handy in a digger!
565
00:28:59,940 --> 00:29:01,820
BOTH LAUGH
566
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:03,380
- Let's go and get a cold one. - Yeah.
567
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:04,980
- Oi! - Actually, no, a cup of tea.
- Guys!
568
00:29:04,980 --> 00:29:08,380
All right, a cup of tea
would be nice, yeah.
569
00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:11,460
You got me, you got me!
570
00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:13,820
- That was fun! - That was awesome.
571
00:29:13,820 --> 00:29:15,500
- You're good in one of those.
- Thank you!
572
00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:17,380
- Its not about the smoothness,
I learned. - No.
573
00:29:17,380 --> 00:29:19,340
It's just about getting
the dirt out of a hole.
574
00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:21,380
- Can we just talk about cars now,
please? - Oh, fine!
575
00:29:21,380 --> 00:29:24,380
- Now we've done the heavy plant?
- Yeah, OK. - It's a car show.
576
00:29:24,380 --> 00:29:28,180
- All right, so we saw what happened
in the ice and the snow... - Yeah.
577
00:29:28,180 --> 00:29:30,860
But today you came back, and
the conditions were a lot better,
578
00:29:30,860 --> 00:29:33,100
- a lot better today.
- Miles better. - Yeah, they were.
579
00:29:33,100 --> 00:29:35,940
Dry, sunny, cold, so the car
was making good power.
580
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:37,900
How did your timed lap go?
581
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:39,700
Well, it was...
582
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,300
Do you know, I don't think
I've ever felt as on the edge
583
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:46,260
as I did going round that track,
you know?
584
00:29:46,260 --> 00:29:48,580
A mate of mine said if you're not
living on the edge,
585
00:29:48,580 --> 00:29:51,580
then you're taking up too much room,
and I had that going round in my
586
00:29:51,580 --> 00:29:53,460
mind, and I thought, "Here we go."
587
00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:56,300
And what's weird is that,
you know, with Blue Peter,
588
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,260
I've done a lot of crazy things -
or what would be perceived as,
589
00:29:59,260 --> 00:30:01,780
you know, being crazy things,
hang-gliding world records
590
00:30:01,780 --> 00:30:03,140
and all sorts of stuff.
591
00:30:03,140 --> 00:30:06,460
And because you're going
into an environment that you think
592
00:30:06,460 --> 00:30:10,140
is going to be scary and weird,
then you're kind of used to it,
593
00:30:10,140 --> 00:30:11,540
you can cope with it.
594
00:30:11,540 --> 00:30:15,180
But when you're pushing yourself
to what you think is,
595
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:18,380
you know, the very limit,
you know, the maximum,
596
00:30:18,380 --> 00:30:21,020
then it's a very weird feeling,
and I've never felt that.
597
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:23,300
I found it, weirdly,
quite emotional.
598
00:30:23,300 --> 00:30:24,460
You are super competitive.
599
00:30:24,460 --> 00:30:27,380
When he was going round today,
I snuck out there just to poke my
600
00:30:27,380 --> 00:30:30,180
head in the window,
"How's it going?" And he was like...
601
00:30:30,180 --> 00:30:34,260
HE MUMBLES INCOHERENTLY
602
00:30:34,260 --> 00:30:36,460
I was like, "I don't understand
any of that,"
603
00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:37,540
but, yeah, fine!
604
00:30:37,540 --> 00:30:39,620
LAUGHTER
605
00:30:39,620 --> 00:30:42,580
- No, it was brilliant, it...
- It's fun, right? - It is fun.
606
00:30:42,580 --> 00:30:45,220
- Really fun, let's take a look,
let's take a look. - Oh, man.
607
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:46,260
Come on.
608
00:30:48,020 --> 00:30:50,620
Good amount of clutch
off the line, aggressive.
609
00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:52,500
Come on, come on, come on!
610
00:30:53,940 --> 00:30:56,300
OK, it's just fast ploughing.
611
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,780
Fast ploughing?!
612
00:30:58,980 --> 00:31:01,420
That's a pretty good line,
not too wide.
613
00:31:02,740 --> 00:31:06,140
Whoo, there she goes!
614
00:31:06,140 --> 00:31:09,020
Yeah, those shrieking noises
are worth at least a tenth.
615
00:31:09,020 --> 00:31:12,620
There's a bird on the top
of the tyres - not for long!
616
00:31:12,620 --> 00:31:14,460
That's a good line,
I reckon a bit of width
617
00:31:14,460 --> 00:31:17,420
there is good,
carry some more speed.
618
00:31:17,420 --> 00:31:19,100
A bit of dancing round there.
619
00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:24,340
This braking point is critical.
Oh, the eyes!
620
00:31:24,340 --> 00:31:27,060
That was a "Have I outbraked
myself?" eye moment!
621
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:29,020
This looks good,
this looks good and tidy,
622
00:31:29,020 --> 00:31:31,660
- did you go second or third there?
- Second, now it's third there.
623
00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:32,780
That's good.
624
00:31:32,780 --> 00:31:34,580
Just late for work, that's all.
625
00:31:36,700 --> 00:31:39,060
Follow through, that looks quick,
that looks quick,
626
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:40,500
now let's look at the tyre wall.
627
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:44,060
This is a tight squeeze
through here.
628
00:31:44,060 --> 00:31:45,100
Wow!
629
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:47,660
I bet Chris Hoy had trouble
with those wide thighs!
630
00:31:49,420 --> 00:31:51,860
Stay out wide, stay out wide.
631
00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:53,340
Second to last.
632
00:31:55,380 --> 00:31:57,660
That looks good to me.
633
00:31:57,660 --> 00:31:59,860
Woohoo!
634
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:03,100
And now Gambon, and over the line.
635
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:04,420
Oh...
636
00:32:05,580 --> 00:32:07,100
That looked good!
637
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:10,460
That looked really good,
I think that was... Right?
638
00:32:10,460 --> 00:32:13,100
- It looked smooth,
and it looked quick. - Yeah.
639
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,780
- All right. - Yeah. - Moment of truth.
640
00:32:15,780 --> 00:32:17,660
Who do you want to beat?
641
00:32:17,660 --> 00:32:20,660
- Who do you want to beat? - Oh, man.
642
00:32:20,660 --> 00:32:24,460
Well, I'd like to be above
Ore Oduba,
643
00:32:24,460 --> 00:32:27,540
and I would like to be between
644
00:32:27,540 --> 00:32:30,780
Ore and Max, I think Max Whitlock.
645
00:32:30,780 --> 00:32:33,020
I know Max really well,
he's a good friend of mine.
646
00:32:33,020 --> 00:32:35,620
I've commentated on him, you know,
World and Olympic level
647
00:32:35,620 --> 00:32:39,420
with gymnastics, and I admire
his competitiveness, so...
648
00:32:39,420 --> 00:32:42,100
- So you definitely want to beat
him. - Well, no, I'm saying...
649
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:43,420
I admire the guy...
650
00:32:43,420 --> 00:32:46,340
I'd be happy to be
in that section there.
651
00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:49,500
You'd be happier right
at the top, wouldn't you?
652
00:32:49,500 --> 00:32:50,620
Well...come on!
653
00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:52,700
Will you get on with it?!
654
00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,340
All right... All right.
655
00:32:55,340 --> 00:32:59,100
- OK, are you ready? - Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, go on.
656
00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:04,340
Matt Baker, you went
around our track in one minute...
657
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:05,940
Good.
658
00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:08,140
- ..30... - Are you kidding me?!
659
00:33:08,140 --> 00:33:09,380
Are you kidding me?
660
00:33:09,380 --> 00:33:11,900
..8.6.
661
00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,260
Yeah!
662
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:17,980
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
663
00:33:17,980 --> 00:33:21,220
Oh, I beat Max,
I can't believe I beat Max!
664
00:33:21,220 --> 00:33:23,140
Sorry, Max!
665
00:33:23,140 --> 00:33:25,460
Yeah! Thanks, man.
666
00:33:26,860 --> 00:33:28,820
Ladies and gentlemen, Matt Baker!
667
00:33:28,820 --> 00:33:31,300
Brilliant, thank you,
thank you very much!
668
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:33,420
I've had a super time, boys, cheers!
669
00:33:35,660 --> 00:33:40,500
Now, earlier on, we set out to prove
that instead of spending six grand
670
00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:44,100
on this, you should spend it
on something with more panache.
671
00:33:44,100 --> 00:33:46,060
And fair to say
we had mixed results,
672
00:33:46,060 --> 00:33:49,140
but now, after a night
making our cars race-ready,
673
00:33:49,140 --> 00:33:52,060
we had one last chance
to redeem ourselves -
674
00:33:52,060 --> 00:33:54,060
a six-hour endurance race.
675
00:33:56,460 --> 00:34:00,700
Silverstone, home of British
motor racing and host
676
00:34:00,700 --> 00:34:04,700
to the Birkett Six Hour Relay,
677
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:07,260
the UK's largest annual motor race,
678
00:34:07,260 --> 00:34:12,900
where no fewer than 70 teams fight
it out on this legendary circuit.
679
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:14,500
Our six-grand heroes would be up
680
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:17,820
against one of the most varied packs
in motorsport.
681
00:34:17,820 --> 00:34:21,380
So it's just as well
I had come prepared.
682
00:34:24,140 --> 00:34:25,700
Oh, yes!
683
00:34:29,780 --> 00:34:33,660
Roll cage, race seat -
everything you don't need on track
684
00:34:33,660 --> 00:34:35,940
chucked out and binned.
685
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:38,900
This car was very, very heavy.
686
00:34:38,900 --> 00:34:41,500
Now it's just very heavy.
687
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:44,940
But most importantly of all,
I've got myself a fast paint job.
688
00:34:44,940 --> 00:34:49,620
Because this is the livery
of the legendary Red Pig.
689
00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:54,260
You remember, the year was 1971,
690
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:58,060
and the Red Pig was AMG's
first ever race car.
691
00:34:58,060 --> 00:34:59,820
People laughed at it back then,
692
00:34:59,820 --> 00:35:03,380
but it finished second in its first
ever race,
693
00:35:03,380 --> 00:35:06,860
a 24-hour race at Spa.
694
00:35:06,860 --> 00:35:09,020
And we're going to go
one better today.
695
00:35:10,980 --> 00:35:14,900
Rory, however, had gone
another way entirely.
696
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:16,260
Check it out!
697
00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:25,140
This car was super sophisticated
back in its day,
698
00:35:25,140 --> 00:35:29,780
but that day was 40 years ago,
so I figured the Silver Shadow
699
00:35:29,780 --> 00:35:32,620
could use a 21st-century makeover.
700
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:37,060
I've got a big fat spoiler,
701
00:35:37,060 --> 00:35:41,380
I've flared the wheel arches so now
there's space for my '20s.
702
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:42,660
I've got camo!
703
00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:47,220
This thing is super sophisticated,
704
00:35:47,220 --> 00:35:49,860
and I mean Pippa Middleton
sophisticated.
705
00:35:52,140 --> 00:35:55,780
Time to gentrify
the hell out of Silverstone.
706
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:01,180
Oh, yes!
707
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:03,700
Oh, no!
708
00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:10,300
Ha-ha!
709
00:36:12,500 --> 00:36:13,780
Have you seen this?
710
00:36:13,780 --> 00:36:15,740
Mate, this is a serious
race meeting.
711
00:36:15,740 --> 00:36:18,180
But at least I know I'm going
to be quicker than one car here.
712
00:36:18,180 --> 00:36:19,500
What are you talking about?
713
00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:22,260
That monstrosity!
714
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:25,140
- What is it? - Well, listen,
that's where you're wrong.
715
00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:26,940
- I've been reading up on this race.
- OK.
716
00:36:26,940 --> 00:36:30,420
And you, me and Matt, we're all
in our each individual cars,
717
00:36:30,420 --> 00:36:32,820
but we're on the same team,
one at a time.
718
00:36:32,820 --> 00:36:35,980
- It's like a relay?
- Yeah, absolutely, Team Top Gear.
719
00:36:35,980 --> 00:36:40,420
And...I even took the liberty
of making us some wristbands.
720
00:36:40,420 --> 00:36:43,180
That is a lovely touch,
lovely touch.
721
00:36:43,180 --> 00:36:45,020
So, to be clear, I'm on a team
722
00:36:45,020 --> 00:36:48,220
with a car the Queen goes
paintballing in, right,
723
00:36:48,220 --> 00:36:50,460
and a Bentley that doesn't exist?
724
00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:53,340
Yeah... Where is Matt?
725
00:36:53,340 --> 00:36:55,620
I don't know, but it looked
pretty terminal
726
00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:57,260
the last time I saw it, didn't it?
727
00:36:57,260 --> 00:37:00,220
We might be on a team of two.
728
00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:02,740
Not so fast, gentlemen.
729
00:37:02,740 --> 00:37:04,700
- No! - Yes!
730
00:37:04,700 --> 00:37:06,860
CHRIS AND RORY LAUGH
731
00:37:06,860 --> 00:37:08,260
- Yes! - Yes!
732
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:13,300
- Look at that!
- She's still alive!
733
00:37:14,620 --> 00:37:17,220
What modifications have you carried
out to keep her alive?
734
00:37:17,220 --> 00:37:20,540
Oh, I have been up all night,
I haven't had much sleep,
735
00:37:20,540 --> 00:37:22,900
but, uh...new block...
736
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:24,900
New block?!
737
00:37:24,900 --> 00:37:28,340
New block, new crank,
new pistons, new con rods,
738
00:37:28,340 --> 00:37:31,860
new valves, new cams,
new water pump, new oil pump...
739
00:37:31,860 --> 00:37:33,980
- Basically new everything.
- New engine.
740
00:37:33,980 --> 00:37:36,500
Yeah, yeah, but she's
running good as new!
741
00:37:36,500 --> 00:37:38,180
Yeah, yeah.
742
00:37:38,180 --> 00:37:39,700
What happened to your car?
743
00:37:39,700 --> 00:37:42,100
And what happened to your car?
744
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:43,580
We'll get into that later.
745
00:37:43,580 --> 00:37:47,620
- In the meantime, I made us
Team Top Gear wristbands. - No.
746
00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:51,460
- We're on the same team.
- What do you mean?
747
00:37:51,460 --> 00:37:53,860
- What, same team? - It's a relay.
748
00:37:56,100 --> 00:38:00,660
Like it or not,
we were now team number 35.
749
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:05,660
And to decide our starting position,
our first test was qualifying.
750
00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:08,740
Come on, Rory, full quali mode!
751
00:38:10,060 --> 00:38:11,580
Holy cow!
752
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:15,220
Come on, baby, come on, baby!
753
00:38:15,220 --> 00:38:16,300
Oh, she's big.
754
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:21,940
And with two thirds of our team
having never actually driven
755
00:38:21,940 --> 00:38:23,820
around Silverstone before,
756
00:38:23,820 --> 00:38:27,500
thankfully at least one of us knew
what he was doing.
757
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:30,300
Listen to that V12 just sing!
758
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:32,420
ENGINES ROAR
759
00:38:36,460 --> 00:38:39,380
- Boys, boys! - Yeah, yeah, hey!
- Qualifying times are in.
760
00:38:39,380 --> 00:38:41,940
- Oh, great. - Whoo. - Where are we?
761
00:38:41,940 --> 00:38:45,300
- A very, very respectable 70th.
- Ah, oh. - Yep.
762
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:47,260
- Out of how many cars? - 70.
763
00:38:47,260 --> 00:38:48,660
Oh, that's...
764
00:38:48,660 --> 00:38:52,140
- And that's based on
qualifying times? - Yes.
765
00:38:52,140 --> 00:38:54,260
- It wasn't my fault. - Rory.
766
00:38:54,260 --> 00:38:56,460
What are you talking about?
My car was quick.
767
00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:58,340
- OK, it wasn't quick.
- No, it wasn't at all.
768
00:38:58,340 --> 00:38:59,660
We're going to make up for that.
769
00:38:59,660 --> 00:39:01,340
We're talking about race strategy
now,
770
00:39:01,340 --> 00:39:03,900
forget about the qualifying
position, it doesn't matter, OK?
771
00:39:03,900 --> 00:39:05,060
This is a six-hour race.
772
00:39:05,060 --> 00:39:07,500
So I think we have to set
a realistic goal.
773
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:09,620
OK, so what are we aiming for?
774
00:39:09,620 --> 00:39:11,420
Not come last.
775
00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:12,820
- OK. - Yeah?
776
00:39:12,820 --> 00:39:14,220
Let's get our hands in here.
777
00:39:14,220 --> 00:39:15,980
To not coming last, come on!
778
00:39:18,300 --> 00:39:19,340
Ow!
779
00:39:23,260 --> 00:39:27,420
Yes, to prove our six-grand heroes'
worth, we would aim to gain one
780
00:39:27,420 --> 00:39:30,180
place in the next six hours.
781
00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:33,900
And with the producers predicting
even this was beyond us,
782
00:39:33,900 --> 00:39:35,500
they brought reinforcements.
783
00:39:37,420 --> 00:39:41,500
The Sandero was back,
and if all three of our cars failed,
784
00:39:41,500 --> 00:39:43,100
we'd be forced to use it.
785
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:48,980
So, determined not to let
the Sandero show us up again,
786
00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:53,820
we decided to unleash our seasoned
pro for the first stint.
787
00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:56,220
Oh, the numbskulls at the front
are trying to back us all up
788
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:57,980
cos they think
they're Lewis Hamilton.
789
00:39:57,980 --> 00:40:01,940
This is the Birkett Six Hours, not
the Monaco Grand Prix, you idiots!
790
00:40:03,580 --> 00:40:06,540
Yep, the competition
were in for a treat.
791
00:40:08,380 --> 00:40:14,180
And on the stroke of 11:43am,
it was time to go racing!
792
00:40:14,180 --> 00:40:15,740
Right, here we go, Chris!
793
00:40:15,740 --> 00:40:17,980
Racing, racing, go, go, go, go!
794
00:40:20,660 --> 00:40:23,380
And straight away, Chris was on it.
795
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:26,300
Whoo! I love overtaking!
796
00:40:26,300 --> 00:40:27,580
OK, he's done the Mini.
797
00:40:30,140 --> 00:40:32,180
- Oh... - Beautiful, beautiful!
798
00:40:33,940 --> 00:40:36,540
Nice, that's three, that's three.
799
00:40:36,540 --> 00:40:39,020
Thank you, Matthew,
very helpful, very helpful.
800
00:40:40,540 --> 00:40:42,420
I hate to say it,
but if it was a team
801
00:40:42,420 --> 00:40:45,620
of Mercedes Red Pigs, I think we
might be in with a shot here.
802
00:40:47,980 --> 00:40:52,940
Just a few minutes into the race,
Chris had already climbed 15 places.
803
00:40:56,900 --> 00:41:00,060
Right, let's get these
stragglers in front!
804
00:41:00,060 --> 00:41:02,620
And he was showing no signs
of slowing down.
805
00:41:04,260 --> 00:41:07,620
The next car in front of you
is running one second quicker,
806
00:41:07,620 --> 00:41:09,540
one second quicker, that's all.
807
00:41:09,540 --> 00:41:12,340
Oh, that little MR2
that was ahead of me,
808
00:41:12,340 --> 00:41:14,580
maybe I can catch him.
809
00:41:14,580 --> 00:41:19,180
Honestly, at this rate,
our endurance race was in the bag.
810
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:23,140
All right, this is important,
we're looking at your telemetry
811
00:41:23,140 --> 00:41:27,860
here, and do you want the egg-fried
rice or the Singapore noodles?
812
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:30,140
I'd like some...
813
00:41:30,140 --> 00:41:32,660
I'd like chilli chicken ramen,
please.
814
00:41:32,660 --> 00:41:34,140
I've got new prey.
815
00:41:34,140 --> 00:41:36,420
All right, that's good,
that's good, but how spicy do
816
00:41:36,420 --> 00:41:37,460
you want your thing?
817
00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:40,220
Oh, yeah.
818
00:41:40,220 --> 00:41:44,180
For team number 35,
things were going well.
819
00:41:44,180 --> 00:41:50,060
Started off in 70th place,
now we're up to 52nd place, not bad.
820
00:41:50,060 --> 00:41:53,700
So I think the strategy now is to
leave Chris out there...forever.
821
00:41:57,180 --> 00:42:02,700
But as the laps piled on, there was
one small flaw in our plan.
822
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:07,500
- I've got a lot of fuel starvation...
Whoa! - Whoa!
823
00:42:09,300 --> 00:42:11,500
The Mercedes' tank was running low,
824
00:42:11,500 --> 00:42:15,300
and the other teams
could smell blood.
825
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:17,500
Oh, I'm right in the middle
of the BLEEP now.
826
00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:21,620
You can do it, come on.
827
00:42:21,620 --> 00:42:24,140
Don't let those guys by!
828
00:42:24,140 --> 00:42:26,820
Thank you, Matthew,
thank you for your help(!)
829
00:42:26,820 --> 00:42:29,900
Soon enough, it was time
to pit the Pig.
830
00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:32,380
Pit this lap, pit this lap,
all right?
831
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:39,220
Chris finished his stint
in an incredible 56th place.
832
00:42:39,220 --> 00:42:43,100
But now it fell to me
and the hastily rebuilt Bentley
833
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:44,700
to keep our momentum going.
834
00:42:47,900 --> 00:42:50,260
OK, we're up and away!
835
00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:56,540
Come on, baby, come on!
836
00:42:57,740 --> 00:43:00,940
She's running, she's alive!
837
00:43:00,940 --> 00:43:05,580
And straight away, Matt was making
the most of his Bentley's
838
00:43:05,580 --> 00:43:08,140
newly-refurbished V8 turbo power.
839
00:43:08,140 --> 00:43:10,140
I'm past the Volkswagen Beetle!
840
00:43:11,860 --> 00:43:14,580
Very good and smooth,
my friend, good and smooth.
841
00:43:14,580 --> 00:43:16,180
- Really? - Where are we doing... No.
842
00:43:16,180 --> 00:43:18,100
Where are we doing
in the real side of the race?
843
00:43:18,100 --> 00:43:21,340
- 35th. - 35th?! - Yeah. - Are we?
844
00:43:21,340 --> 00:43:25,300
- Oh, is that cos of the pit stops?
- Yeah. - 53rd?
845
00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:30,340
- 59th, you doofus. - Oh, so we're 35?
846
00:43:30,340 --> 00:43:32,420
That's our number.
847
00:43:32,420 --> 00:43:34,940
I thought,
"We haven't changed in ages!"
848
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:40,060
What Rory had failed to grasp
was that although the Bentley
849
00:43:40,060 --> 00:43:42,660
was pulling well enough
on the straights,
850
00:43:42,660 --> 00:43:44,900
we were still losing ground.
851
00:43:44,900 --> 00:43:47,860
Because in Matt's rush to get
his engine fixed in time
852
00:43:47,860 --> 00:43:48,980
for the race...
853
00:43:50,580 --> 00:43:53,300
..he'd had no time
to improve his brakes.
854
00:43:54,340 --> 00:43:56,100
We're dropping like a stone here!
855
00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,020
The Bentley wasn't going to last.
856
00:44:00,020 --> 00:44:03,420
It was time to get driver number
three ready to race
857
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:07,020
with a crash course in not crashing.
858
00:44:07,020 --> 00:44:09,580
But on the Xbox, you know you've got
the guidance arrows
859
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:11,780
- that show you where to go...
- You can't...
860
00:44:11,780 --> 00:44:14,860
You can't begin a sentence,
"On the Xbox..." You just can't.
861
00:44:14,860 --> 00:44:17,020
- On the simulator that I've used...
- Simulator.
862
00:44:17,020 --> 00:44:21,620
..the guidance arrows show the line
as being wide to narrow.
863
00:44:21,620 --> 00:44:24,820
- That's inaccurate,
is what you're saying. - Yeah.
864
00:44:24,820 --> 00:44:28,100
You want to get in there
to that early curb, OK?
865
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:31,660
- Have you raced at Silverstone
before? - Only about 30 times.
866
00:44:31,660 --> 00:44:33,020
- Right. - Yeah.
867
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:38,940
Out on track, though,
things were going from bad to worse.
868
00:44:41,260 --> 00:44:43,900
- Jesus! - Oh!
869
00:44:47,260 --> 00:44:50,580
- That BLEEP spun me! - I'll tell you
what, they don't play fair, do they?
870
00:44:50,580 --> 00:44:52,380
No, no.
871
00:44:52,380 --> 00:44:54,140
No - no, they don't.
872
00:44:56,100 --> 00:44:58,020
That son of a BLEEP hit me!
873
00:44:58,020 --> 00:45:01,580
I got your number, man,
I got your number!
874
00:45:01,580 --> 00:45:04,140
If you want to get hit in a race,
I suggest you drive
875
00:45:04,140 --> 00:45:07,460
around in a green Bentley with
LeBlanc written on the side of it.
876
00:45:07,460 --> 00:45:10,660
He's a bit of a moving target,
isn't he?!
877
00:45:10,660 --> 00:45:12,380
The Bentley was taking a beating.
878
00:45:12,380 --> 00:45:16,220
Picking up a bad vibration
in right-handers.
879
00:45:17,220 --> 00:45:20,340
And with failing brakes
against a hostile field,
880
00:45:20,340 --> 00:45:21,860
something had to give.
881
00:45:23,220 --> 00:45:25,700
I think I got a puncture,
I got a puncture.
882
00:45:25,700 --> 00:45:28,020
I need to come in now,
I'm pitting right now,
883
00:45:28,020 --> 00:45:29,540
right now, right now.
884
00:45:31,140 --> 00:45:35,980
Matt's Bentley had dropped us
down to 62nd position,
885
00:45:35,980 --> 00:45:39,060
- and Harris wanted a word. - Sorry?
886
00:45:39,060 --> 00:45:40,100
You broke it.
887
00:45:46,780 --> 00:45:48,820
CHRIS LAUGHS
888
00:45:49,980 --> 00:45:53,580
We're not cheating, we're not
looking! Don't worry!
889
00:45:53,580 --> 00:45:59,220
With that debrief concluded,
as I set out for my first run
890
00:45:59,220 --> 00:46:02,220
in the Rolls, at least
one thing was certain.
891
00:46:02,220 --> 00:46:04,580
Brakes were the least
of my problems.
892
00:46:08,340 --> 00:46:11,300
OK, a number of things
wrong with my car.
893
00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:13,660
It's slow.
894
00:46:14,700 --> 00:46:15,740
There's no grip.
895
00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:21,420
None of the gauges work, so I don't
know how much fuel I've got.
896
00:46:21,420 --> 00:46:23,060
But I bet it looks good!
897
00:46:24,860 --> 00:46:28,500
It really didn't,
but then neither did mine.
898
00:46:31,740 --> 00:46:33,700
Oh, she's bleeding!
899
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:38,180
And while the life ebbed out
of the Bentley in the garage,
900
00:46:38,180 --> 00:46:42,260
out on track, it was the same story
for our race.
901
00:46:42,260 --> 00:46:43,860
Oh, give me a break!
902
00:46:45,020 --> 00:46:47,820
There's absolutely nothing
I can do out here,
903
00:46:47,820 --> 00:46:49,300
they're all over me!
904
00:46:51,740 --> 00:46:55,140
Jesus! Watch out!
905
00:46:55,140 --> 00:46:58,980
What happened, did the Beetle
spin in front of you?
906
00:46:58,980 --> 00:47:02,380
Yeah, there's a Beetle in front
of me, the guy that spun and stopped
907
00:47:02,380 --> 00:47:06,260
on track has now overtaken me,
that's how much pace I've got!
908
00:47:06,260 --> 00:47:10,540
Mate, you've just banged
in a 3:15.05 - good lap time.
909
00:47:13,420 --> 00:47:18,740
It's times like these when I start
to wonder whether I probably
910
00:47:18,740 --> 00:47:22,140
should have paid a little
less attention to the looks
911
00:47:22,140 --> 00:47:27,660
of the car and maybe focused a tad,
just a tad, on the performance.
912
00:47:30,380 --> 00:47:33,580
Is that really your
maximum acceleration?!
913
00:47:34,900 --> 00:47:36,140
Yes!
914
00:47:40,700 --> 00:47:46,020
And then, somehow,
Rory got even slower.
915
00:47:46,020 --> 00:47:48,940
Having a slight fuel problem now,
I'm not sure what it is,
916
00:47:48,940 --> 00:47:52,180
but maybe somebody should stand by.
917
00:47:52,180 --> 00:47:54,340
The Rolls was in trouble.
918
00:47:54,340 --> 00:47:56,220
It's dying, it's dying!
919
00:47:56,220 --> 00:48:01,020
And after careful diagnosis,
we came to realise the problem
920
00:48:01,020 --> 00:48:04,020
with Rory's fuel was
he didn't have any.
921
00:48:04,020 --> 00:48:06,460
Car is dead, repeat, car is dead.
922
00:48:07,500 --> 00:48:11,900
So, well past the halfway point
in our six-hour endurance race,
923
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:15,780
and it's fair to say things
weren't looking great.
924
00:48:15,780 --> 00:48:18,860
One car was stranded
at the side of the track,
925
00:48:18,860 --> 00:48:21,420
another was in pieces in the garage,
926
00:48:21,420 --> 00:48:24,620
and Team Top Gear were now
sitting dead last.
927
00:48:27,060 --> 00:48:30,580
But we did still have
one very Red Pig.
928
00:48:35,340 --> 00:48:36,740
Yeah, baby!
929
00:48:43,300 --> 00:48:44,940
No sliding.
930
00:48:44,940 --> 00:48:48,300
Fast laps, not fun laps, fast laps.
931
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:50,340
Copy that, boss, copy that.
932
00:48:51,500 --> 00:48:54,420
I need some information,
I need to know who I'm aiming for,
933
00:48:54,420 --> 00:48:56,580
am I catching them,
am I slower than them?
934
00:48:56,580 --> 00:48:58,660
What's going on?
935
00:48:58,660 --> 00:49:02,700
Chris was back in the zone,
and the 69th place we were aiming
936
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:06,580
for was being held by team number
47, a formidable band
937
00:49:06,580 --> 00:49:09,660
of Ford Fiestas known
as the Raging Racers.
938
00:49:10,940 --> 00:49:13,380
And Harris had them in his sights.
939
00:49:15,540 --> 00:49:17,500
There he goes, there he goes!
940
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:20,460
Outstanding, outstanding!
941
00:49:21,580 --> 00:49:25,220
While the Mercedes was keeping
our race alive on track,
942
00:49:25,220 --> 00:49:28,140
back in the pits, the Bentley
was looking terminal.
943
00:49:28,140 --> 00:49:30,460
I think we got another problem,
Matt. What's wrong now?
944
00:49:30,460 --> 00:49:32,740
OK, so I think the heat generated
from the wheel bearing
945
00:49:32,740 --> 00:49:35,420
has potentially damaged
one of the calipers,
946
00:49:35,420 --> 00:49:37,820
so we've lost all the brake
fluid in this corner.
947
00:49:37,820 --> 00:49:40,380
- That could be a game-ender,
do you think? - Mm.
948
00:49:42,020 --> 00:49:45,740
Without brakes,
the Bentley was going nowhere,
949
00:49:45,740 --> 00:49:49,540
and with Rory still urgently
hurrying back to the pits...
950
00:49:49,540 --> 00:49:50,780
Oh.
951
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:53,740
Of course, it was at this point
that Chris decided things
952
00:49:53,740 --> 00:49:55,540
were going much too well.
953
00:49:58,500 --> 00:49:59,580
Whoa!
954
00:50:01,940 --> 00:50:03,580
I just hit something quite hard.
955
00:50:04,740 --> 00:50:08,300
Matt, come to the pit wall to come
and look at the front of my car
956
00:50:08,300 --> 00:50:09,820
next time round, please?
957
00:50:09,820 --> 00:50:12,140
Here I come.
958
00:50:12,140 --> 00:50:16,220
Yeah, you got one,
your lower left driving light looks
959
00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:19,340
like it's tweaked a little,
but there's nothing dangling,
960
00:50:19,340 --> 00:50:21,300
I think you're OK,
nothing touching the ground,
961
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:22,380
I think you're all right.
962
00:50:22,380 --> 00:50:24,620
Just keep your foot in it,
you'll be fine.
963
00:50:24,620 --> 00:50:26,060
What a baby!
964
00:50:27,620 --> 00:50:30,940
Actually not - because just
a few corners later,
965
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:35,300
I discovered the valiant Mercedes
had much bigger problems.
966
00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:43,140
I've just had a minor
technical difficulty.
967
00:50:43,140 --> 00:50:45,140
My right rear wheel just fell off.
968
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:49,420
This was a blow.
969
00:50:53,660 --> 00:50:58,100
The Red Pig was out of the running,
and that meant Team Top Gear's race
970
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:02,220
was now hanging by a single
purple camo thread.
971
00:51:02,220 --> 00:51:04,660
Here we go, baby, focus!
972
00:51:05,940 --> 00:51:09,220
Rory had fuelled up again
but just didn't have the speed
973
00:51:09,220 --> 00:51:11,940
to defend our 69th place.
974
00:51:11,940 --> 00:51:16,580
All right, I have absolutely
no pace on the straights.
975
00:51:16,580 --> 00:51:20,660
And back in the pits, there was
nothing we could do to help him.
976
00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:23,180
- What's the status on your car? - Dead.
977
00:51:23,180 --> 00:51:25,340
- Dead? - Dead. - Dead?
978
00:51:25,340 --> 00:51:28,100
When the wheel came off,
it sheared the bolts on that spacer,
979
00:51:28,100 --> 00:51:30,060
which does look good but is rubbish.
980
00:51:30,060 --> 00:51:35,100
And it's knackered the lower rear
arm, the bolt's gone, not usable.
981
00:51:35,100 --> 00:51:37,340
OK. My car - dead.
982
00:51:38,300 --> 00:51:40,500
So, basically, it's all up
to Rory now,
983
00:51:40,500 --> 00:51:42,500
he's the only one
left in the game.
984
00:51:42,500 --> 00:51:44,940
Our potential success
lies with Rory Reid.
985
00:51:46,660 --> 00:51:48,020
Unfortunately, yes.
986
00:51:54,060 --> 00:51:55,620
Damn it!
987
00:51:55,620 --> 00:51:57,940
She's gone again.
988
00:51:57,940 --> 00:52:00,220
Car is dead, repeat, car is dead.
989
00:52:01,380 --> 00:52:06,100
As the Rolls limped in, we
slipped back down to 70th position,
990
00:52:06,100 --> 00:52:09,860
and with less than two hours
to go to the chequered flag,
991
00:52:09,860 --> 00:52:11,980
Team Top Gear had ground to a halt.
992
00:52:13,660 --> 00:52:15,460
What do you got, nothing?
993
00:52:15,460 --> 00:52:18,100
- Died on me on the straight. - Died?
994
00:52:18,100 --> 00:52:20,180
Yeah, no power, engine off.
995
00:52:22,180 --> 00:52:25,140
But our six-grand heroes
had brought us so far,
996
00:52:25,140 --> 00:52:27,980
we couldn't just give up
and go home.
997
00:52:27,980 --> 00:52:29,660
We were here to race!
998
00:52:30,740 --> 00:52:33,820
Which meant we had
just one choice left.
999
00:52:33,820 --> 00:52:38,180
Reluctantly, it was time
to break out the Sandero.
1000
00:52:45,020 --> 00:52:46,500
Come on!
1001
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:53,540
This car is so unbelievably
slow and boring!
1002
00:52:54,620 --> 00:52:57,740
Perhaps - but it was
keeping us in the race.
1003
00:53:00,140 --> 00:53:02,380
All right, just nice and clean,
just quick as you can go.
1004
00:53:02,380 --> 00:53:04,420
We're not last! We're not last!
1005
00:53:04,420 --> 00:53:07,380
Hey, we're not last any more,
we're not last any more!
1006
00:53:07,380 --> 00:53:08,820
Yes, baby!
1007
00:53:10,340 --> 00:53:14,380
So our fight with the Raging Racers
wasn't over yet.
1008
00:53:16,020 --> 00:53:18,620
Because through their last round
of pit stops,
1009
00:53:18,620 --> 00:53:23,220
the Sandero had kept us lapping
and clawed back 69th position.
1010
00:53:24,620 --> 00:53:27,420
But the Fiestas
were now back on track.
1011
00:53:28,980 --> 00:53:32,260
He's four laps behind you right now
but he is quicker,
1012
00:53:32,260 --> 00:53:34,100
you need to be faster than that.
1013
00:53:34,100 --> 00:53:38,500
I cannot go any faster than this,
I really can't.
1014
00:53:38,500 --> 00:53:41,820
At this rate, our race would end
in failure at the wheel
1015
00:53:41,820 --> 00:53:43,380
of the Sandero.
1016
00:53:43,380 --> 00:53:45,900
We needed a faster car - now.
1017
00:53:48,780 --> 00:53:50,140
You know what I was thinking?
1018
00:53:50,140 --> 00:53:52,660
You got a fuelling issue,
I got a brake issue.
1019
00:53:52,660 --> 00:53:56,900
My car's faster than yours,
your brakes will fit my car.
1020
00:53:56,900 --> 00:54:00,020
Let's take the calipers off your
car and put them on my car,
1021
00:54:00,020 --> 00:54:02,300
and we can get the Bentley
back out there.
1022
00:54:02,300 --> 00:54:04,820
- Team Top Gear.
- Team Top Gear, good job.
1023
00:54:04,820 --> 00:54:06,940
I knew you'd say yes.
1024
00:54:06,940 --> 00:54:11,260
To stand any chance of staying
ahead, we needed the Bentley to give
1025
00:54:11,260 --> 00:54:13,180
us one last run.
1026
00:54:13,180 --> 00:54:16,460
So while the engineers set
about transplanting the brakes
1027
00:54:16,460 --> 00:54:20,180
from the Rolls, with less than
an hour to go to the chequered flag,
1028
00:54:20,180 --> 00:54:22,540
Chris had to keep us in the fight.
1029
00:54:24,260 --> 00:54:25,300
BLEEP me!
1030
00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:27,700
You're doing great,
just keep it going,
1031
00:54:27,700 --> 00:54:30,340
come on, a little bit longer,
I'm almost ready!
1032
00:54:30,340 --> 00:54:33,940
And with the Sandero hanging in
for just a few more laps...
1033
00:54:36,940 --> 00:54:38,980
..at last, we got the green light.
1034
00:54:41,140 --> 00:54:43,540
Come on, baby, come on, come on!
1035
00:54:43,540 --> 00:54:47,180
30 minutes to go -
could the Bentley hold on?
1036
00:54:48,260 --> 00:54:50,460
OK, the brakes are
doing strange things.
1037
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:53,380
Right, what's going on?
1038
00:54:53,380 --> 00:54:56,460
- All right, Matt's out there,
he's flying. - Good, good.
1039
00:54:56,460 --> 00:54:59,180
- He's doing well. - So are we going
to stay ahead of that other car?
1040
00:54:59,180 --> 00:55:01,340
- Well, they are two laps behind us.
- Only two?
1041
00:55:01,340 --> 00:55:04,900
Only two, so right now
it's all about reliability.
1042
00:55:04,900 --> 00:55:10,180
If he breaks down, if he has an off,
we're in trouble.
1043
00:55:10,180 --> 00:55:12,740
As the minutes ticked down
to the finish,
1044
00:55:12,740 --> 00:55:16,380
every single team was pushing
to complete as many laps
1045
00:55:16,380 --> 00:55:17,500
as they could.
1046
00:55:17,500 --> 00:55:18,780
Jesus!
1047
00:55:18,780 --> 00:55:21,300
The battered Bentley was suffering.
1048
00:55:23,940 --> 00:55:26,980
Wow, the brakes are
just disappearing, bro.
1049
00:55:26,980 --> 00:55:29,580
And the gloves were off
all over the field.
1050
00:55:31,460 --> 00:55:32,820
Oh!
1051
00:55:32,820 --> 00:55:34,340
That BLEEP hit me!
1052
00:55:34,340 --> 00:55:35,820
You suck!
1053
00:55:35,820 --> 00:55:37,660
Oh, my God!
1054
00:55:37,660 --> 00:55:40,180
Matt, tell me how the car
is feeling, mate.
1055
00:55:40,180 --> 00:55:44,180
OK, we got a massive
vibration under braking.
1056
00:55:44,180 --> 00:55:46,300
Are you seeing this action
under brakes?!
1057
00:55:46,300 --> 00:55:49,100
Keep trucking, keep trucking.
1058
00:55:49,100 --> 00:55:50,900
Guys, what lap am I on?!
1059
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:54,580
You've got to do three laps,
I repeat, three laps.
1060
00:55:54,580 --> 00:55:56,900
But did she have three laps
left in her?
1061
00:55:59,540 --> 00:56:02,100
Three more minutes,
three and a half more minutes.
1062
00:56:05,700 --> 00:56:06,740
No brakes.
1063
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:13,420
Chris to Matt, Chris to Matt,
can you hear me, please?
1064
00:56:16,220 --> 00:56:19,380
Our six-grand heroes
had given everything.
1065
00:56:19,380 --> 00:56:20,740
Geez!
1066
00:56:20,740 --> 00:56:22,820
But would it be enough?
1067
00:56:22,820 --> 00:56:24,020
Come on, Matt!
1068
00:56:25,260 --> 00:56:27,140
The brakes are so gone.
1069
00:56:28,620 --> 00:56:31,500
Come on, he has to do it,
he has to do it.
1070
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:33,100
Come on, baby, come on, come on.
1071
00:56:36,620 --> 00:56:38,060
Where is he? Where is he?
1072
00:56:41,340 --> 00:56:43,820
- Come on! - Yes!
1073
00:56:43,820 --> 00:56:46,660
There's chequered,
there's chequered.
1074
00:56:46,660 --> 00:56:49,620
69th place was ours!
1075
00:56:55,780 --> 00:56:58,100
THEY LAUGH
1076
00:57:01,020 --> 00:57:04,300
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
1077
00:57:04,300 --> 00:57:06,700
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!
1078
00:57:06,700 --> 00:57:08,540
Mission accomplished.
1079
00:57:08,540 --> 00:57:09,980
That's right, that's right.
1080
00:57:09,980 --> 00:57:11,340
Second to last!
1081
00:57:11,340 --> 00:57:12,500
Penultimate!
1082
00:57:12,500 --> 00:57:15,260
We get to say we were penultimate.
1083
00:57:15,260 --> 00:57:18,180
And penultimate is a great word!
1084
00:57:18,180 --> 00:57:21,860
Honestly, they keep trying to make
Formula 1 more exciting.
1085
00:57:21,860 --> 00:57:24,820
Here's an idea, stick an old Bentley
in the middle of the grid -
1086
00:57:24,820 --> 00:57:26,500
boom, box office.
1087
00:57:26,500 --> 00:57:28,940
All right, all right, OK,
so the cars, what have we actually
1088
00:57:28,940 --> 00:57:30,220
learned from this?
1089
00:57:30,220 --> 00:57:35,540
OK, that, technically,
the Dacia Sandero is a better car
1090
00:57:35,540 --> 00:57:36,700
than any of these, right?
1091
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:39,540
It's more practical,
it's more reliable and...
1092
00:57:39,540 --> 00:57:42,020
- ..we'd rather have any of these,
right? - Mm-mm, yeah.
1093
00:57:42,020 --> 00:57:44,420
Yeah, absolutely, like,
for six grand, you get to drive
1094
00:57:44,420 --> 00:57:47,900
a Rolls or a Bentley or a Merc...
1095
00:57:47,900 --> 00:57:49,220
..when they're working.
1096
00:57:49,220 --> 00:57:53,660
Yeah, and even when they're not
working, there is no more luxurious
1097
00:57:53,660 --> 00:57:56,780
place to sit and wait
for the tow truck.
1098
00:57:56,780 --> 00:57:58,780
LAUGHTER
1099
00:57:58,780 --> 00:58:01,660
And on that heart-warming note,
we must end the show.
1100
00:58:01,660 --> 00:58:03,980
Thank you so much for watching,
we'll see you next week,
1101
00:58:03,980 --> 00:58:05,020
goodnight!
