Hahahahaha – ‘Sti-James!!!’
Most hilarious moment of that challenge.

Sorry for my faults in this text, but I don’t speek English very well.
I LOVE Topgear! I watch it every Friday on Veronica. It’s so funny and when I had a tuff day, it cheers me up! I realy like cars very much. Also I think that Ferrari’s are the most beutiful cars in the world! Last Friday I saw one of the best episode! With a beautiful Dutch car. Next day I said to my daddey that afetr dikes and windmills this the most brilliant ??? we made! ( I really like your faces when you three lost a game! So… Funny!!!)

Sorry for my faults and I hope that you gonna make much more nice episodes!

Sorry,

and aftr=after

The germans are acting strange… stig is james. I thought they would edit it a lot for them to look good.

It’s useless trying to talk to The Stig because his voice box was removed to save weight.

Speedier Than Inferior Germans…Yes STIG!

Hey Dutch topgear lover,

The sad thing about watching top gear on veronica is that they don’t show the entire episode. There is about 10-15 minutes missing from the original episode. I don’t know how well you understand english or can read it, but if you can, it’s more fun to watch it on the bbc. Almost everyone in the Netherlands can recieve this. Sunday’s at 21.00 (new series from 2nd november!)

Hey,
OOk even in het nederlands.
Veronica zend niet de gehele aflevering van top gear uit. Er mist ongeveer 10-15 minuten. De BBC zendt volledig uit. Vanaf zondag 2 november begint de nieuwe serie! Op BBC2 om 21.00uur Nederlandse tijd!

Groetjes

“Yeeeah Stiii-JAMES!”

I lost it in the best way. Very nice.

Congrats to Team Top Gear for their victory over the Germans. It was a top notch competition from beginning to end.

The whole event just shows that cars are a univeral language. It didn’t matter that most of it was in German, and they were clearly wrong on absolutely everything, the petrolheadyness (is that a word? eh.) still shone through. Every moment was a prime example of why Top Gear challenges are so damn good.

There should definatly be a rematch. Or maybe a similar stunt with Top Gear Australia.

This is tagged as “poduction notes”. That might need to be edited.

bliddy Brilliant. the german show is really not funny though. Top gear is much better

The Top Gear episode is very likely the best hour I ever spent in front of a TV. Rematch please, although the only thing that could probably top this is a TG UK/US/AUS vs. Best Motoring/D MOTOR war. Nice to see the German version, not quite as funny but still very entertaining.

That last race wasn’t exactly fair, as ‘James Stigson’ was driving an Aston Martin DBR9, which competes in the higher GT1 class, versus the GT2 class of the Porsche GT3-RSR. Still, brilliant stuff, I was laughing the entire time.

I absolutely loved this challenge! I reckon once the overseas versions of Top Gear are more established maybe there could be a competition between them all. It would be great to see the different incarnations of Top Gear battling it out for overall glory!

Nice to see things from the German point of view, though… I had wondered if there had been two endings filmed so that each country could watch their presenters be victorious, but it’s nice to know that Top Gear truly did triumph.

Can’t wait for the next series!

That was one of the top gear greats and well done for beating the germans i am living out in austrlia for a year and meet alot of germans who loved the episode, classic top gear to arrive in spitfire’s, there is no point in a uk v’s us or aus as both of these are rubbish versions as all the australians i meet say so as well go the original and the best topgear

GO STIG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Top Gear for life!!

When’s the return match then? Sadly I’ll only get to see the German version ‘cos I can’t get the BBC’s I-Player thing to work here but I’m sure you’ll have that fixed for me by then. Won’t you?

Andy Wallace is Stig

I died laughing when hammond played his ‘bad winner’ bit. That was harsh!

German Tony dont you use bittorrent? I’m from Latvia and its the onlt way I can watch Top Gear. Try out mininova.org ! its the S11E06!

Hey

Just wanted to say that even if I’m clearly sure that stiggy is unbeatable (not a human being) his car is largely better than tim schrik’s one. The DBR9S is in the top 3 of fia GT3. And the porscher is standing low in the belgian GT championship.

But more of that, the Aston is part of a french team with 2 french drivers. How could you take a car which has been driven by french people . And the porscher is from Belgium too. All French speaking people. what a pity

well that was so funny even on the german size.

I take it that Veronica is the dutch equivalent of our Dave!?!

One thing where the Germans won; they do know how to say “Murciélago”, unlike Jeremy’s “mehhr tchah lah go”. And, yes, most of the challenges.

the minis arent exactly the same. clarkson’s driving a cooper s with jcw kit with 195 bhp while sabine’s driving a cooper s jcw with 211 bhp…they have an advantage…

I would love to see the German public’s reaction to our Top Gear lads!

i expected less britain vs. germany but more jezza/sabine, hammond/tim and may/carsten jokes.
(there would be some potential, dont you think?)

anyway. great episode!

Well it was better than fifth gear.

carsten is a bigger clown than james lol coz hes a “sore-loser” version of captain slow

Top gear is better then 5th gear by miles,it isnt allowed on my telly im no traitor

What is everyones favorate challenge?Mine has to be the caravan holiday,followed closely by Botswana and the cute little car of Hammonds OLIVER !!! I adore that car

As for the Germans they didnt stand a chance against our lads long live the TG3 or 4 if you count stiggy!!!

The Stig is so cool.

thank suedsuhiefe and the crew at final gear for this one

… Tim´s car wasn´t a Porsche 997 RSR (FIA-GT2) car. Its a 997 GT3-Cup, which less then the FIA-GT3 Version (GT3-CUP-S)! So please change the car
BTW Sabine broke again the Nuerburgring Track Record last weekend

As for the German reaction…we know we are better so no arguing necessary.

And over Britain the Luftwaffe shot more British fighters down than they did…by a mile – over 1000 vs. 870. Even though the only thing they had to do was fly their shoddy 20 minute sorties over friendly territory with radar advance warnings.

Maybe in the intro they should have tried to fly the Spitfire upside down…oh wait, snap!

Fantasic to see it from the other side – great post!
“Jeremy is known for his reckless driving.”
Brilliant.

America needs the full UK TopGear

Funny how top gear and bbc post full episodes of other shows from youtube videos on this website, yet pull all full episode of top gear from youtube…

love the show.. but make it available to all…

or at least offer R1 season dvds

FIFTH GEAR IS BETTER!

jus jking obviously, its shocking, and i hate it soo much.

Long live the Stig!

Hey BBC, don’t forget that there are viewers in Asia dying to catch the LATEST of the UK TopGear as well! When is it coming?!?

Avid Viewer,
Singapore

P.S. Long Live Night Racing!!

The Germans make great cars but they can’t do humor to save their lives. The guy doing the voice-over was devoid of any flair. German TV, one of the best cures for insomnia.

yeah top gear should come to asia

TG fan,
singapore

Dan… Sadly, you have a point.
D Motor is by far the best motoring show on german television… which means that you only have to stifle a yawn while watching it. When you try to watch any other of the german car shows you’re going to die from boredom after 3 minutes. Or 30 seconds in some particularly nasty cases.
But D Motor is at least better than Fifth Gear…

Hey, BBC, there are some people here in Germany, who actually have some sense of humour and desperately wish that your i-player would work in Germany… Pleeeeaaaase…

lol, that was good viewing! The Germans seem to be pretty far behind us on social skills Mind you, having said that they have more charisma than, say, the fifth gear presenters.

@ 20 Petrolhead : There are more native languages in Belgium than just french, in fact three : Dutch (flemish), French and German and the zolder circuit is in fact flemish.

So history repeats itself… GB and his Allies has beaten the Germans, was a good and funny show…

Top Gear rulez

WHEN I WATCH THE MINI COOPER CHALLENGE I NOTICED THAT THE GREMANS WERE USING A MINI COOPER S JOHN COOPER WORKS (THE FASTER VERSION). THE JCW COOPER HAS JUST OVER 200 BHP UNLIKE THE STANDARD COOPER S THAT THE BRITS USED WHICH HAD ONLY 170 BHP, SO THEY ***CHEATED***!!! BUT WE STILL WON THANKS TO STIG!!! GO TEAM TG!!!

i also noticed that the germans are full of rubbish excuses, top gear is so much better

LOL Funny, they don’t mention the War…

Brilliant challenge.

Great episode,I was in fits of laughter. Once the programme had finished and i had stoped my laughing fit I was most surprised to find out that both my parents had fallen asleep!Clearly a severe lack of humor.

Awesoem stuff, Note how the germans don’t refer to anything to do with the war. eg the spitfires and the tank markings. I s’pose they try to forget the war and espescially it’s outcome

jaa za jerry´s sucked no doubt,however we thought an aston without the option to reverse woz hilaripous while they made za njeeuw M sreee ja and za mini and za bentley and za lambo and za everysing else we love to beat zem in…won za battle of britain and nothing since, c´mon britain give us an other one !hehehe

mwa hahahaha soz i didnt no wat 2say

I think the Top gear version was much better…

“Go on James! Er.. Stig.”

If your outside blighty and devoid of iPlayer, you could google finalgear…

Colonic irrigation is better than ‘Fifth Gear’…

I really loved this episode. It was great to see JK beat Simon Cowell. I also loved watching them in the Spitfires. That was one of the grandest entrances ever. My husband fancies Sabine, so he had someone to drool over while I continued to drool over James and Jeremy (as always).

Carstens delivery is hilariously deadpan. And when he gives Richard the finger as he passes him in the Bowler, brilliant! It was good to see it from the German pov. What a fun day they all must have had. Just another day at the office for Top Gear and Dmotor.

It’s amusing and ever so slightly unnerving to see that the germans laugh about the rivalry from the wars.

Sorry rest of the world, there will be no iPlayer for you because we paid for the thing with the “unique way the BBC is funded”!! As long as they keep making quality shows like Top Gear, I will happily fork out my licence fee every year.

WOW I LOVED THAT

APPARENTLY JANES WAS BOUND AND GAGGED IN THE LOCKER ROOM BUT SOME SAY HE SAVED US!!!!!

WHO KNOWS

I can’t believe the inanity of some of these comments. According to the above, the Germans never mention the war and don’t have a sense of humour, and a Porsche GT3 is a GT2 car (I mean seriously, the clue is in the name, people).

I could understand some of the slower readers missing the bulk of the war references had Carsten not stood saluting his own tank for the duration of the Mini challenge, and I suppose the 1966 jokes were bound to be lost on those whose parents hadn’t even been born yet, but honestly, if you haven’t got a developed-enough sense of humour to be able to recognise one in someone else, I have to wonder what led you to this website in the first place. Surely Top Gear is on way past your bedtime?

I’ve seen the Britain vs Germany episode on two stations- BBC proper, and BBC Canada. Why in the Canadian version did they change the music? When they arrive in the Spitfires, the original used the theme to the Battle of Britain- great stuff. But in the Canadian version the music is changed to something much more mellow, which i couldn’t recognize. Why would they do this? Anyone have any idea about this?

Hi !!!

Thank you:)
Your Piter Kokoniz, from Latvia

since michael schumacher is the stig, the british needed a german to beat the germans.

hahaha

Wow, I think its hilarious that BBC worldwide has removed a video from their own site due to copyright claims by themselves

Aaah! Scheisse! XD!!!!!!!! Although our suit-man sucked we had the lady . We don’t need Darth Va…errr Stig to win .
