Months ago I emailed Top Gear to tell them

a) To make their 'Star in reasonably priced car' feature more relevant they needed to have control studies.

I suggested

1. They have F1 drivers try out. This would show them how quickly the best drivers did it, and would give the 'star/driver ability' relative status against this.

2. They needed to have a 'non-celebrity' drive the track. ie. Myself. This would give the 'driver ability/star' relative measure against my non-celebrity status.

I never heard a peep from them, but hey presto a few months later they had a great idea ' lets invite F1 drivers to have a go'.

Im pissed that some junior researcher will have got a pat on the back for their idea, Im pissed I didnt get a go. Im most pissed about the fact no-one replied to the email...

did you tell them you drive a Porsche /
Thats probably the reason for their response...

They must pay you some fee at least, or invite to the next program

Yep, definitely because you drive a Porsche. You know they bag on Porsche.

I consider just be honoured and having the bragging rights.

I would also consider writing a letter, including your original email. You might just get a free trip to be on the program. Even better would be able to drive the course as the "unknown star"

Nice ideas but who is to say you where the first one to come up with them?
