New series of Top Gear

Tomorrow night.

Jeremy drove the McLaren P1 for the series and tweeted “complete game changer, speed like you would not believe.”

So it’s going to be… that much faster than the Ferrari The Ferrari, the Huayra, the new Koenigsseg, etc that he can make such a statement? Wow I guess we’ll see.

We should start a poll or an over under or something. What’ll it do around the track, 1:08 like the Zonda R on slicks?

Definitely not

Slower than the very on and koeniggsegg

Woot!

Top gear always delivers.

First episode was OK. As usual they break in easy, and do very little with new exciting cars. Episode 2 is usually significant. Next week the P1.

To me “complete game changer” means 1:08. Not 1:13.3. So we’ll see what it actually pulls off. But I have a feeling it’ll be right next to the Pagani.

I keep going to fastestlaps to see if the time gets posted early. Nope.

5 seconds on that track is absurd though. 1 second is huge.

5 seconds is super crazy.

That’s what I’m saying. That’s a complete game changer. One second faster than the current leader would be impressive but in the same ballpark, and not worthy of the hype he’s heaping onto it.

but it’s british…

Ahhhhhhhhhh right the British edge.

So…1:13.3 then. Game changer.

SPOILER ALERT****

Terrifically disappointing program last night. Nothing of any interest in the films; P1 slipping around a wet track. How could Jeremy have gotten any sense of how fast it is by slipping around a wet track. I guess he said what he had to say.

Finalgear issued a warning to remove torrent links of episodes (to which they immediately complied of course).

Broadcasting corps and associations are still living in the 90s on regional broadcasting concepts and syndication in my opinion. Not much initiative to be creative and find new revenue streams by leveraging the Internet and its global nature.
