Ah, right, I guess I'll take a long lunch and catch that one two. This frikkin being on leave and going on holiday has confused me much.

I haven't watched past the second episode.

Perhaps one day when I'm really bored... perhaps.

Yeah, one's a pub in HIMYM and the other is a piss poor F1 team...

Its just ironic that their F1 division at the moment; ok past few years; have been below par while at present their Cars division is absolutely coining it ito sales & positive reception for every single model.

Yeah, shows you don't have to do well on the race track to sell well. I mean look at the hilux sales and the Dakar...

And the fat American who can't drive and isn't funny. Bring back the Ben Collins...

Agreed. Removing him, and getting rid of the Celebrity Brainfart alone would make it a lot less cringeworthy.

But the biggest part has been answered already - will the 3 presenters still have the same chemistry in a new environment? And that is a resounding yes. Nothing wrong with the show is due to them thus far. But the producers will need to improve abovementioned issues.

Also, I don't really like the Eboladrome. They should rather go to a proper circuit.

Also, regarding the American, I am probably wrong, but I have a hunch he's not the one doing the actual laptimes, someone else (Ben Collins?) is doing the actual laps, and the American just does some gimmicks to keep the 'Muricans happy.

That fat **** can't possibly be a racing driver.

There's no way Ben Collins would drive a GTR that slowly...

They'll cross legal horns with the BBC if they use Ben Collins.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be Collins. Personally I'd love to see Mika Hakkinen or someone similar in the role. Tif Needall would actually be brilliant, of course that wont be possible.
