yeah, the cars are at the Synergy shop now. I doubt JC will drive the RS, he will spend all his time loving on the Italia...

I agree! Hammond will be in the RS, James in the Merc and JC in the 458 ...

I'd bet on James in the 458, since last series they flogged him so hard about having just bought a 430.

The SLS is pure Clarkson. And of course Hammond will be the one in the Porsche.

Was at VIR today (nice job Wilderness PCA, great day out) - Top Gear guys left yesterday morning. Funny, was in the pub at the track for dinner on Thursday evening and they were sold out of all bottled beer, and had just a few left on tap. I asked why - the Top Gear guys drunk them out across the two nights they were there. Respect!

"...Jeremy hooning the SLS around turns 1-6 (POWERRRRR), eventually
spinning the car in turn 5/6
."

He was lucky not to stuff it there.....

It was kinda lame they were so private.. I was driving at the event, hell three on the cars the picked had offs in our first hour .. I lapped a few of the others .. I think the just wanted to make fun of the American muscle !! Lmao

Yup Italia for sure. He's too much a Euro Trash ***** to think about something that has the class of a Porsche! Sorry Harsh words I know...
