      those 500bhp are only really worth it in germany ngl
      edit: well actually 500bhp are kinda low for german autobahn LOL
      edit2: also the typical driving speed in germany autobahn of my 1y of driving experience is about 180kmh thats about 110mph xD can barely keep up with those people in my 1.6l Miata ;) i mean the top speed of a 1.6 Miata is about 180 kmh and thats also hella scary feeling with its old stock 30y old suspension get it (SUSpension xD)

    My OH&I travelled from Edinburgh Waverley to London King's Cross on the 1st HST 125 in the morning to see the London Motor Show then travelled back at night on the last HST 125 back to Edinburgh. Long before we had Class 91s&the Azuma.

    I wonder how much time is spent in getting ahead of Alex, setup cameras for B-roll and then carry on the journey

      I reckon they get the b roll after the race, on another trip maybe

      Probably just do what top gear do and film the b roll on the way back.

    BBC get these 3 signed up for top gear. With a bit of guidance they’ll be better than the current lot in a year.
