Top Gear is on BBC America, that was Fifth Gear which I don't think is available in the US. (except on youtube)
Edit: what he said ^^^^
Looks like he handled himself much better than Richard Hammond did.

Then you really would've missed the V12s... And the experience from TV is about 3% when compared to hearing those engines in person.
When Ferrari was coming behind the trees of Hockenheim, there was no mistaken what car was coming...
Although the few times when we went to Hungarian GPs with buddies of mine and parked the RV right outside of the track wall (outside of the short straiht between T5 & T6), our "alarm clock" was bunch of V10 F1 engines singing their "song".
It was a fabulous wake up, hear them starting to come out of the distance, then get very close and SCREAM. Then one of us put the coffee going while rest of us climbed on the roof and started the day with a can of Hungarian beer while our ears were shattered by F1!

I was just referring to recent memory, I though we all knew my favorite engine is the Ferrari(312)/Porsche(917) MFI flat 12
