Great show.
Looked like the same suspects lining up .
What a place. It would be even better to drive someone else's car on it .

No fame for me but one of the better 'ring features I've seen. I loved the put downs Sabine layed on JC.

Sabine rocks my world
"Jeremy, you are about 80% incompetent!!!" classic.
"How many laps have you done Sabine?", "About 15,000"
The best bit was the virgin lap from Sabine in the Jag, slicing 37secs of Jeremy's two day attempt. Is Jeremy really so unacustomed to the Ring? His emotions at the wheel definately remind me of my first laps, especially the bit about having been out on the lash the night before

I was told I drove faster on the road, than I did going round the ring...........all I could think of was that it would be a long walk home if I stuffed up

Top Gear seems even better this series, it was a really interesting feature too. I really want to do the Ring this coming year...(said that last year)

I must have been too many times, as I could tell where he was on the lap (how far round, not necessarily what was coming next though).
Sad as it may seem the big thing that got on my tits last night was the way they showed clips of track action out of sequence.
For example, seeing him getting it all out of shape approaching the bridge that is early on in the lap AFTER he had been through the carousel.
It was good though, and I bet it will get a lot more people through the door of the Jag dealers.
What I'm waiting for is the feature on modding the leana, see how quick they can make it

A star in a reasonably modded car.

Just keep the Yanks out of it unless they up the spec of the gearbox during the process

Bugger missed it... The wife was making me watch 'the day after tomorrow' What a <beep> film....total bollocks.
Anyhow, I would have loved to have seen it as I am getting quite good at 'the ring' on the x-box..
Can't wait to go there - maybe next year.

They interviewed a couple of english bikers who made the same claim............. they were shocked at the reality.....' all the gadient changes and off camber corners' was the quote.........be afraid, be very afraid

Heres an idea for a feature on top gear......The short bloke from the show gets to test drive the new RS4 round the ring with Clarkson chained to the bumper.Might put a stop to all this playing conkers with caravan <beep>!
