If we miss him then perhaps a wide-angle shooter is needed. The guy is awful. A prat of the highest order. The car is stiff he says; suits his presenting style then.

+Diax1324 I saw 2 blokes filling up a 12C at a petrol station the other week, everyone flocking around it taking photos, including a ~10yr old lad and his dad, the driver of the 12C offered the lad a sit in the driving seat whilst his dad took a photo, thought it was a nice touch.
He is mine too! Other favourites of mine are Henry Catchpole (Carfection) and Davide Cironi. The Italian man has a very emotional approach to cars, which sets him truly apart. Really recommended!
Love the 'stranger in the P1' experience.. What a great thing to do, to witness the reaction from someone who has no previous experience of Hyper cars......which is the vast majority of us!
Love the look of the guy's face at 10:28. That's the kind of thing that one should do if one owns a hypercar - Give the occasional hitch-hiker a lift. The look on their face is worth it.
This must be my 10th time watching this, yet still I just sat and stared at my screen in awe for a couple of minutes after this film ended. Utterly magic stuff, thank you Chris & Neil.
***** Clarkson can't be replaced. The show should rightly be left dead if it's not the 3 original presenters (yes I know that James May technically isn't an original presenter).
Why is everyone so hellbent on Chris Harris joining Top Gear? You people are aware that he will have way less freedom, especially when it comes to telling the Truth about cars, he won't be able to talk bad about brands like Lamborghini and Ferrari. He would have never been able to say about Lamborghini what he dared to say. I think he should either get his own show or stay with this one. But not Top Gear!
Chris Harris on Cars is by far the best car show in town - miles better than Top Gear, that has become nothing more than an entertainment program over the years. Chris' program is what car lovers are longing for - cool and slick cars that are the center of attention, stunning pictures and a great presenter to bring it all together. So guys (and girls) - Chris should not be on Top Gear - it would ruin Chris' image , not Top Gear's as it has already been ruined. Keep up the good work Chris! :-)
If you look back 10 years and watch episodes of Top Gear you'll see that the cars were more at the center of attention than they are today, where the hosts have taken the stage completely away from the cars.
I think it's true that Harris works best alone, but maybe he would shine in testing the cars, as each of a potential new show host would do the car tests as individuals, only coming together when they test 3 similar cars concurrently...in addition to Harris and Sutcliffe (who may take a bit for US viewers may take some time to grow and love...but he would be great in the "Clarkson" role, the one behind the camera, not the one getting fired) I would love to see Sabine Schmitz, as the 3rd. You would have 3 very capable drivers (all 3 are former racers at various levels).
Possibly the best film I've ever watched on CZcams,when you picked up the stranger I caught myself with a huge ear to ear grin on my face what a lucky guy and his reaction was priceless.wow.
Good on Chris for getting the top gear gig and I know the commercial side of producing utube content can be challenging, but a year or so without content and god I miss Chris Harris on cars. The bloke’s a legend and one of my hero’s.
Steffen Andresen wet + RWD, mclaren can build great cars but can´t defy physics. For a good 0-62 in any condition you need the drivetrain you see in my profile picture ;)
Steffen Andresen really your shocked? its rwd and its wet and its trying to get nearly 1000hp down. didn't suprise me at all. In fact i was suprised at the speed it flew by at 70mph given the fact it was still lighting up the rear wheels! In the wet that was a tall order the audi is a fast beast let me tell you! !
Mr harris, for me, there is no greater gift possible in the car youtube world than to see this video pop up on my phone whilst meandering the local town arts center sadly looking at landscapes and turning locked door knobs for music practice rooms.
Chris, Videos like these are something I can truly, truly appreciate. Such a great review on the car and this is what cars are all about, videos from the 2CV to this is just the type of thing I love on this channel, Cheers.
This is forever one of my favorite videos. It just focuses on the pure beauty of these cars, not in terms of numbers but about how they make us feel. Bravo sir.
Экспертное Подразделение Диванных Войск! Yeah, it will definitely be interesting to see his views on the Regera in contrast to the P1. I notice that he downed the La Ferrari in comparison to the P1.
AutoRingMagazine Unfortunately, my attempts to find the piece in question have come to naught - I suppose one would have to acquire a copy of that issue of Evo at some point - but I gather that Harris was not overly enamoured with K'egg.
Another masterclass of automotive journalism by Chris and his crew. I liked this video before I even watch it as I knew it would be brilliant. As a long time fan, keep up the great work :)
what do you expect from a 580hp awd car vs the rwd P1 on a wet surface. put an e63S, a chipped evo or maby even a 550d x drive in the rs6's place and the same will happen. also the rs6 jumped the start a bit.
I know dude, but barely a couple of decades ago that kinda performance wasn't available for the ordinary driver in a practical package. The P1 is a truly spectacular machine but I was merely admiring what the RS6 can do on what would be considered normal UK road conditions. And in the few years time once prices come down, that's unbelievable bang for your buck.
Finnoctane i do fully agree with you on that one, today i was driving and a 360 spider came in the opposite direction. ofcourse i turned my window down and enjoyed the lovely sound as it drove past me. then i remembered that it only has 400hp. you can get that in an E550 nowadays and no one would look twice as you drive by!
lambosforusal and I remember driving a 1976 Porsche Turbo Carrera as a daily driver back in 77-79' (girlfriend's family=$$$) and that was only rated at 225 HP (US), but it felt quite zippier than my current 2014 VW Jetta GLi (210 HP), LOL...
Stunning cinematography as usual! Congrats Neil, and then couple that with such a poetic and descriptive price of journalism makes for such a pleasurable watch. Thank you chris for continuously turning out such wonderful free content, please keep doing what you do best.
how come these videos don't have millions of views... these are my favorite videos being produced right now. Its no BS, total car lover goodness. And I love all the cars he reviews, all driver cars. I love top gear but it can get a little... comedic at times... Sometimes you just want to know how a million dollar car actually drives
Right now McLaren is like, "Thank god the Jeremy Clarkson fiasco is going on. Now we don't have to worry about the Porsche 918 beating us round the track!"
***** you know that do you? There's definitely a reason why McLaren didn't want it up against the 918 around Dunsfold. Doesnt take a genius to work it out
steerj07 Oh yeah, not like the P1 was developed around there or anything. Another 100bhp or so plus half a ton less weight, and a lot more aero grip... even round Anglesey, a grip/handling circuit, the P1 on Trofeos went much faster than the 918. There's no point in making the comparison - the P1s are all sold.
no point making the comparison, yet you did anyway. So what happens if the 918 is on Trofeos then? Sounds like you think the P1 wouldn't stand up on normal road tyres
steerj07 Yeah, the P1 just has so much power that the normal P-Zeros can't quite cope. On P-Zeros it was slightly slower round Anglesey (a couple of tenths) than the 918 because it just couldn't put its power down. It then went over a second faster than the 918 once it had Trofeos. Had the circuit been less tight and twisty, more about power (which Dunsfold is), the difference would have been much more marked. As Chris shows with the straight-line work at Brunters, the P1 on P-Zeros in the damp has no traction until 70mph and even beyond that still gets some wheelspin.
I would rather let Top Gear end now, then replace Clarkson. Nobody can replace Jeremy! Jeremy, Richard and James simply define Top Gear! And that's and end to it!
Chris, you and Neil (and who ever else is involved in making this) are just brilliant. For the average bloke who can never experience what these cars are like you bring me the closest and I deeply appreciate that!
+gmansplit i'm sorry i'm not an audi fan but the mustang GT wouldn't have any chance against the RS6 neither the sting ray corvette. The z06 is an other story tho
lelegume1635 According to zeroto60times.com, all rs6's except the avant are slower to 60 than a mustang gt. And I said Z06, not Stingray, 3 second 0-60 for the Z06, and 3.7 for the avant.
gmansplit according to zeroto60times.com, all the mustangs GT are slower to 60 by about 1 seconds, so get your facts... plus the rs6 will go 0-100 way faster than any mustang, except the gt500 and maybe the gt350R. And obviously the Z06 is faster but they aren't in the same category at all.
lelegume1635 What are you smoking? "2015 Ford Mustang GT 4.4 second 0-60" "2002 Audi RS6 4.7 second 0-60". According to Car And Driver, the 2016 GT does 60 in 4.3 www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2016-ford-mustang-gt-coupe-long-term-road-test-update and the 2003 RS6 does 60 in 4.4 seconds. And assuming you aren't american, the latest year RS6 we get in the US is 2004, so you can't reference newer RS6's.
How come it can't while it beat the p1 by 1 second when motortrend tested both of them, they also had a laferrari owner but ferrari didn't allow the owner to make motortrend test it against the 918 and the p1.
Different tracks call for different power bands just because time it doesnt mean anything in a different track its a different story. The 918 is more of a hybrid its the cheapest one with the most tech the others are just all engine with some electric boost plus the 918 is a hard top spyder and the record holder of the nurburg....
www.motortrend.com/roadtests/exotic/1503_2015_mclaren_p1_vs_2015_porsche_918_spyder/ The 918 is heavier, less powerfull, yet it performs better on track than the p1, also it's cheaper, has better interior, better for daily drive use, so it's the better car overall. Laferrari is a joke till Ferrari allow magazines to test it to prove its a well over hybrid car.
Matt Galls www.germancarforum.com/threads/porsche-918-vs-mclaren-p1-vs-laferrari-topgear-evo-etc.52070/page-86#post-739959 this sums up all the comparisons
Chris, unless Chris Evans writes you the part of the century, DO NOT GO NEAR THE BBC. You are far too talented to be swept up in all that rubbish on Top Gear. Keep doing stuff like this with Neil. Hopefully your donations go some way to covering your costs. The pair of you are brilliant.
Besides Chris not wanting to mimic or be a part of TopGear which he has stated its sad to see the lack of loyalty in the car community.. TopGear is James Richard and Clarkson, if it's not that just let it die. Be loyal to the show that made you laugh and grow even more fond of cars. There is no replacement for Clarkson and fuck the BBC, I wouldn't watch a "new TopGear" regardless just like James and Richard won't film it without Clarkson. It's not just about camaraderie, it's about loyalty.
couldn´t agree more! Would rather watch the boys on a new format, who cares about if it´s called "Top Gear" or "Jeremy, Richard and James talking about cars", it´s about the people who make the programm!!
spinnenente Sorry but no, there are two ways to get instantly fired, stealing and punching someone, It wouldn't matter if I had been there 2 weeks or 30 years, it is not acceptable in any workplace. A guard would give me 5 min to pack up my stuff and march me off the premises. Jeremy needs a break, get his life together and come back with another car show with the boys.
+gmansplit the mustang gt is not faster in a straight line than the RS6. At the crankshaft the RS6 is probably over 600 horsepower because audi under estimates everything, and it has 4WD launch control
Chris is just as awesome as a reviewer, as the P1 is raw and beautiful. This car is so astonishing and amazing, and will continue to be for the time to come.
A moment of silence for the P1's that aren't being driven.
McLaren did a bit about a gentleman in Tokyo who daily-drives his P1. Hopefully his effort will offset the stationary ones.
Who in the right mind would daily this beauty.
We already got the GTR for that shit! 🤣
@@imhafdhom why would you buy it then?
Filip Stojanovski for what I understand it needs a lot servicing and care to use it you can’t just start the car and go

Dear Chris,
We miss you.
Sincerely,
Everyone
When he said everyone, he quite litteraly meant everyone; truely.
If we miss him then perhaps a wide-angle shooter is needed. The guy is awful. A prat of the highest order. The car is stiff he says; suits his presenting style then.

Phillz I love his reviews. I'm an American and the guys here don't have the balls or the adjectives to describe the experience.
JJ Dundas No.
When he picked up the stranger I could not stop smiling
In a world where everybody is selfish for certain reason.... Picking somebody up just to share your love of cars is golden.

Chris Harris you earned huge karma points for sharing the P1 with the stranger. Lucky guy and you are a great guy for sharing with him and with us.
Tou Xiong ehhh hou je kop kleine
grapjeeeeew
he looked so happy.
Chris Harris is probably my favourate reviewer of cars. Funny, excited and conveys the emotion of driving cars like this.
He is mine too! Other favourites of mine are Henry Catchpole (Carfection) and Davide Cironi. The Italian man has a very emotional approach to cars, which sets him truly apart. Really recommended!
Chris's mp4-12C review is among my favorites
Love the 'stranger in the P1' experience.. What a great thing to do, to witness the reaction from someone who has no previous experience of Hyper cars......which is the vast majority of us!
I've never seen this man produce a bad video, this was simply outstanding. Thank you Chris.
Love the look of the guy's face at 10:28. That's the kind of thing that one should do if one owns a hypercar - Give the occasional hitch-hiker a lift. The look on their face is worth it.
This must be my 10th time watching this, yet still I just sat and stared at my screen in awe for a couple of minutes after this film ended. Utterly magic stuff, thank you Chris & Neil.
NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET ON FUCKING TOP GEAR PLEASE
DJFaNaTiiC lol.. true
Wouldn't be the same, and Chris has ruled it out anyway.
***** And check out his Jalopnik blog about Top Gear.
Top Gear is 3 guys bouncing off each other. Harris is best in solo mode. Even when he was on Drive with those guys I preferred him doing solo videos.
I really don't mind him doing 1/2 hour shows with bigger budgets, maybe drive 2 cars and an interview with designers,engineers etc....
The moment the P1 pulled away from the RS6 I couldn't help but say "Fuuuuck" outloud.
Yup
Has to be one of my favorite designs in a car of all time at this point. That rear is simply amazing, the tail lights really set it off
7:13 wowzers!!!!! chris my man, that was tight!
I absolutely love that he felt the need to allow a stranger to experience a hypercar. Kudos, Chris!
it's videos like these that made you impossible to pass up on by the BBC. Truly a fitting replacement!
I love the fact you picked up a stranger. May many more owners do the same
"she picks up quite well" understatement of the century
I love this video. It does a phenomenal job of capturing the pure joy that cars give us.
This was of the most BEAUTIFUL pieces of automotive journalism i've ever seen.
Thank you, Mr. Harris
10:28 - love it when he takes the stranger for a drive.
Chris for Top Gear!!!!
Aron Bell Not if it means no more Chris Harris on Cars
I think chris harris would be a good contender to replace clarkson!
***** Clarkson can't be replaced. The show should rightly be left dead if it's not the 3 original presenters (yes I know that James May technically isn't an original presenter).

someusername121 none of them 3 is an original presenter
By far the best motoring journalist. Not much beats a Chris Harris video ❤️🔥
The best thing about watching Chris's reviews is how genuine he is and the enthusiasm he brings. It's all about the pure joy of driving cars.
In my opinion you are the best things to ever happen to motoring journalism Chris.
Loved watching that, my dream car. Short of lottery win I'll never ever experience one but through you I got to see what it's like. Thankyou Chris
I think the stranger said it all. "WOW"
Thank you Chris for providing this non conventional review of the McLaren P1. Enjoyed this video much.
Chris Harris on Cars is by far the best car show in town - miles better than Top Gear, that has become nothing more than an entertainment program over the years.
Chris' program is what car lovers are longing for - cool and slick cars that are the center of attention, stunning pictures and a great presenter to bring it all together.
So guys (and girls) - Chris should not be on Top Gear - it would ruin Chris' image , not Top Gear's as it has already been ruined.
Keep up the good work Chris! :-)
The point of top gear has always been entertainment. Completely different show.
If you look back 10 years and watch episodes of Top Gear you'll see that the cars were more at the center of attention than they are today, where the hosts have taken the stage completely away from the cars.
Still the only channel I turn AdBlock off for.
Harris and Sutcliffe > life itself
I think they worked together for a while at some point...
Victor Tarhon-Onu Autocar mag, wasnt it?
lol, i didnt think there would be many other people who knew stucliffe, but he is really good
mazin2892 x fcccfar uh t u ry p 9
I think it's true that Harris works best alone, but maybe he would shine in testing the cars, as each of a potential new show host would do the car tests as individuals, only coming together when they test 3 similar cars concurrently...in addition to Harris and Sutcliffe (who may take a bit for US viewers may take some time to grow and love...but he would be great in the "Clarkson" role, the one behind the camera, not the one getting fired) I would love to see Sabine Schmitz, as the 3rd. You would have 3 very capable drivers (all 3 are former racers at various levels).
Chris you're quite simply the best. This video is incredible. That is all.
Absolutely love love Neils editing, perfect.
Yup
It's impossible to describe how immeasurably better my day gets when I see there's a new CHOC upload, one could say I'm a chocaholic..
The P1 is sex on wheels
Possibly the best film I've ever watched on CZcams,when you picked up the stranger I caught myself with a huge ear to ear grin on my face what a lucky guy and his reaction was priceless.wow.
Good on Chris for getting the top gear gig and I know the commercial side of producing utube content can be challenging, but a year or so without content and god I miss Chris Harris on cars. The bloke’s a legend and one of my hero’s.
Those flames comin out the exhaust on corner exit epic
i love how a bit of water turns a 0-62 time of a million bucks hypercar into a slower 0-62time than a wagons. Quattro Power!
I was shocked by the poor performance from the P1 there.
Steffen Andresen wet + RWD, mclaren can build great cars but can´t defy physics. For a good 0-62 in any condition you need the drivetrain you see in my profile picture ;)

haha thats more like it :)
This has to be the best car reveiw I have seen any presenter ever do! The angles, the layout just awesome Chris+
Damn that stranger and his amazing luck. Looked like a great time!
The was genuinely one of the best reviews I've watched. Covered absolutely everything there was to cover. Great review Chris 👍🏼 keep them coming.
Taking someone for a ride just to share the experience: mega epic! My hat off for you, Mr Harris!
Bless you Chris for giving the chap in the orange jumper the time of his life ! Wonderful generosity, exactly what I would also do in your shoes.
Mr harris, for me, there is no greater gift possible in the car youtube world than to see this video pop up on my phone whilst meandering the local town arts center sadly looking at landscapes and turning locked door knobs for music practice rooms.

Real triumph this car, the footage on public roads was ace. Best video yet for journalism and photography
Taking a stranger for a ride. That's an awesome thing to do. And it puts the car in a nice perspective.
so how do I become the stranger who randomly meets a journalist driving a hyper car and gets a ride?
As I recall, the guy was driving along and just stumbled upon Harris in the P1 on the road.
move to britain
Have big boobs 🤔
Well, here is my brilliant substitute for TG! Thank you, Harris!
i can't believe your videos are actually for free. you can't get this level of profissionalism anywhere else, your videos are pure ACE
I get all giddy whenever I see a Chris Harris Video in my feed! In my opinion the best car journalist!
Before anyone says anything no Chris Harris shouldn't do TopGear, I think he is good at what he does by himself.. Actually he is brilliant.
Amazing Bro, Love your Vids, great driving aswell.
Y
Lost "track" of how many times I have watched this video over the years.
Long Live Chris Harris. Long live Mclaren
Can't help but smile watching the stranger's reaction...genuinely one of the best! As other's have commented, well done Chris. Just brilliant.
Ahhh thank you! Need more automotive journalism since no top gear.
Sick! Can't wait to see him in the Regera!
Экспертное Подразделение Диванных Войск! Yeah, it will definitely be interesting to see his views on the Regera in contrast to the P1. I notice that he downed the La Ferrari in comparison to the P1.
AutoRingMagazine I think this unlikely as he once wrote a piece that really pissed off Christian von Koenigsegg...
***** Really? Can you give me that article? Man, I would love to read it.

***** Really? Well, I will search fort it. Thanks. Man, that is truly sad to hear.
That waste-gate sound is epic, it's like an explosion! The P1 is quite possibly the most beautiful vehicle ever design!

Chris Harris for Top Gear! Or president....
Nobody can ever replace Jeremy Clarkson, or James and Richard
brad collins Why would you want to put Harris in a comedy? He's talking about cars.
I know it's all about the P1 but the RS6 up to 70mph is quite something as a car that mortals can drive.
Haha! Yeah, exactly what I'm thinking...hopefully there are enough second hand RS6s to go round ;)
what do you expect from a 580hp awd car vs the rwd P1 on a wet surface. put an e63S, a chipped evo or maby even a 550d x drive in the rs6's place and the same will happen. also the rs6 jumped the start a bit.

Right now McLaren is like, "Thank god the Jeremy Clarkson fiasco is going on. Now we don't have to worry about the Porsche 918 beating us round the track!"

Simply the greatest motoring journalist of a generation.
One of my favorite interiors in a modern sports car...favorite everything really.
Yesss! This is our new Top Gear host

And that's and end to it!

This is the greatest video content of all time
12:30 The difference between a really, really fast car... and a McLaren P1!
Id disagree with the assessment that an RS6 is "really really" or even "really" fast. A Mustang GT is faster, and a Corvette Z06 absolutely smokes it.
+gmansplit i'm sorry i'm not an audi fan but the mustang GT wouldn't have any chance against the RS6 neither the sting ray corvette. The z06 is an other story tho

According to Car And Driver, the 2016 GT does 60 in 4.3 www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2016-ford-mustang-gt-coupe-long-term-road-test-update and the 2003 RS6 does 60 in 4.4 seconds. And assuming you aren't american, the latest year RS6 we get in the US is 2004, so you can't reference newer RS6's.
Can you dirf t with the p1 running only in electric
Chris, another stunning video, great everyman comments & sheer joy that you bring to the videos .. sensational !! Neil as always, top filming mate.
We can see the excitement on his face, that's a truly passionate and his reviews are incredible! Every car enthusiast need to watch this!
Anyone who gave a "thumbs-down" to this (or any of Chris's videos) is a complete knob-head.
that car drives so flat, what an epic piece of engineering.
I love how Chris was comparing the P1 to the LaFerrari the whole video. lol Porsche can't compete with these two
Porsche is better lol they just dont compare it because its 4 wheel drive and this guy is obsessed with drifting..
How come it can't while it beat the p1 by 1 second when motortrend tested both of them, they also had a laferrari owner but ferrari didn't allow the owner to make motortrend test it against the 918 and the p1.
Different tracks call for different power bands just because time it doesnt mean anything in a different track its a different story. The 918 is more of a hybrid its the cheapest one with the most tech the others are just all engine with some electric boost plus the 918 is a hard top spyder and the record holder of the nurburg....

The 918 is heavier, less powerfull, yet it performs better on track than the p1, also it's cheaper, has better interior, better for daily drive use, so it's the better car overall. Laferrari is a joke till Ferrari allow magazines to test it to prove its a well over hybrid car.

this sums up all the comparisons
Watched this 3 times now. Love it. Cheers guys
Chris, unless Chris Evans writes you the part of the century, DO NOT GO NEAR THE BBC. You are far too talented to be swept up in all that rubbish on Top Gear. Keep doing stuff like this with Neil. Hopefully your donations go some way to covering your costs. The pair of you are brilliant.
A Ride In That Might Even Make My Ex Wife Smile, nah...Doubt it.
She was smiling when riding me.
You did it again. I just love your videos and yes, you've got the best job in the world. Keep up the good job Chris!
Chris - I salute you. Thanks for this. Simply beautiful.
can u drive it in all electric through town?
Terry Henry yes u can
Best hypercar ever made. So much personality and stupid fast.
Amazing video. Thanks Chris & Neil!
Brilliant stuff. Phenomenal car; beautifully shot; great driving; real variety; and huge natural enthusiasm from the Harris Monkey. Thanks!
Besides Chris not wanting to mimic or be a part of TopGear which he has stated its sad to see the lack of loyalty in the car community..
TopGear is James Richard and Clarkson, if it's not that just let it die. Be loyal to the show that made you laugh and grow even more fond of cars.
There is no replacement for Clarkson and fuck the BBC, I wouldn't watch a "new TopGear" regardless just like James and Richard won't film it without Clarkson.
It's not just about camaraderie, it's about loyalty.
If you punched someone at work what would happen, I know I would be marched out the door, no questions asked.
Agreed
couldn´t agree more! Would rather watch the boys on a new format, who cares about if it´s called "Top Gear" or "Jeremy, Richard and James talking about cars", it´s about the people who make the programm!!
Emily1963eh not if you have been working there for so many years. Those things can be cleared up without having a nationwhide scandal about it.
spinnenente Sorry but no, there are two ways to get instantly fired, stealing and punching someone, It wouldn't matter if I had been there 2 weeks or 30 years, it is not acceptable in any workplace. A guard would give me 5 min to pack up my stuff and march me off the premises. Jeremy needs a break, get his life together and come back with another car show with the boys.
Like Clarkson did on top gear: hear's the difference between a really fast car, and a McLaren P1.
Clarkson did it back with the F1 against a R34 skyline.
+Obi-Wan Kannabis right but the premise is the same
+gmansplit the mustang gt is not faster in a straight line than the RS6. At the crankshaft the RS6 is probably over 600 horsepower because audi under estimates everything, and it has 4WD launch control
@@gmansplit xd
@@gmansplit a mustang is 10 miles slower in a corner and 20 miles slower on entry
Chris is just as awesome as a reviewer, as the P1 is raw and beautiful. This car is so astonishing and amazing, and will continue to be for the time to come.
Classic stuff from Mr. Harris! Thaks mate!
