So Harris' times:
918: 1:53,98
LaFerrari: 1:54,25
P1: 1:53,57

And those of TGT set by Jérôme D'Ambrosio:
918: 1:54,2
LaFerrari: 1:54,4
P1: 1:55,5

The 918 and LaF are remarkably close for two different drivers

Once again, Harris set his time on a flying lap, he was crossing the start finish line at 160mph odd.
Jerome set his from a standing start.

Both tests were back to back with the agreement one would be a standing start and the other flying lap for the very reason that people would not draw comparisons!

The layouts must have been different too then if the times were that close considering one was a flying

Liked it overall. Some daftness but what car show doesn't have it. Roll on to the next one.

It was good but I enjoyed watching this 1 year old youtube film far more with the same cars on the same track (probably at the same time) but with drivers that can really drive .................................



The celebrity bit was stupid

Watched last night

Thought it was ok, nothing special. Its obviously very heavily scripted with next to no spontaneity or ad-libbing, which is the way TG seemed to go a few years ago
If they could all be a bit more natural instead of delivering a line in their own trademark way and waiting for an audience reaction it would flow much better

Watched it last night myself, it was ok but got abit bored as the stories dragged on it too much.
Thought it was very americanized and fake, actually prefer the new Top Gear.
Will watch again to see if it gets better, hopefully it does!

It went live early last week too. @Cooper will just have to move these posts in the morning to the ep2 thread.
