Fantastic to see TG do a serious piece. After the tosh with Hammond in the Toerag I was a bit miffed but that was a really nice piece about Senna.

Awesome episode tonight, best one ever I think! All then features were just brilliant. How good was Tom Cruise in that Kia too!
Senna film was just mesmerising :up: Top Gear at its very best!
Fixed. I couldn't think about anything else when the star in a reasonably priced car results came up. Blatantly fixed they stuffed up their gear changes for a start, just to please their big egos, grrrrrr. </rant>
The footage shown for their lap times isn't taken from just 1 lap, they do several laps and add the best clips together. They don't have 5 or 6 cameras out covering the track, usually only 1 or 2.
So you're saying when they show the final lap, that isn't actually their final lap? I still think its fixed, either way.Quote:

About the Senna part, it's brilliant, and I just wish we ever see F1 as good as it was back then
A great piece on Ayrton Senna. Showing some classic clips, some good little interviews with F1 drivers. I like Lewis Hamilton trying out that 80s McLaren and Martin Brundle's insight was great.
Before anyone thinks Cruise wouldn't have turned a fast time, he did a few racing schools and raced a little. When Shooting the "Colour of Money" with the late Paul Newman, Cruise was turned on to racing by PLN and apparently he was not bad at it...but of course, likely didn't want to keep doing it bad enough.
So maybe he is pretty fast.
I haven't seen this episode yet....I have to watch My Top Gear in the most odd places...lol
Rubens did a lap in the Suzuki, Cruise was in the Kia. I think that the Kia is about 4-5 seconds per lap quicker.Quote:
