Well, there you have it. A new champion tops our SIARPC leaderboard, there’s a new heated debate to be had on the merits of NASCAR versus F1, Jeremy’s got a new favourite car (for this week), and we’ve ushered in a new dawn for the global car industry.
Hope you enjoyed the show. Let us know your thoughts as usual in the handy space below.
And we couldn’t let Matt LeBlanc’s achievements pass without a small tribute, so here’s some more behind-the scenes footage from the fastest star ever to take to the the Top Gear track. Sorry Rowan:
Matt’s back with series two of his show Episodes in the UK very soon, and we’ll also see you all very soon (tomorrow) for more behind-the-scenes action from the show.
(Oh, and if you enjoyed Stig’s Chinese cousin, you’ll be pleased to hear that you can now get your very own “Kung-Fu Stig” T-shirt. All the details this way)













What do you think?

Great episode, one thing to mention though. Chinese car industry is shit and always will be. Yes they’ve made a lot of progress in the last 5 years, but they are still decades behind everyone else and the stigma of oh you have a chinese car will never go away unless they make something absolutely amazing like the 458 meets veyron

interesting press conference today, hamster is no longer the favourite with the Top Gear ladies, that is now James May. only joking James you are a legend and brillant on the show.
i hope it not true but up in cardiff, next sunday they probaldy show the boring wales open snooker final. have problems sleeping lately the thought of that is helping.
TopGear can be shown first then the snooker.
i know with one i rather watch.

all these chinese car haters need to remember that people used to say the same things for japanese cars a few decades ago, and then again for korean cars not that long ago. it’s really getting old…
and congrats to joe… i mean matt!!

it seem to me that we are talking about cars, yesterday i saw a beautiful Jag XF sport coupe. and i thought to myself that front end look like an Aston Martin vantage, was jealous anyway because it a very sexy car.
Also notes in Cardiff, that they are Jag fans. they are Aston Martins and i have seen Both Roll Royce and Bentley will working in the town centre.
but the car that took my breath away, i saw that november was a Lancia Delta Intergreaite. it won the world rally championship six year in a row, and my fellow Ulster man Eddie Irvine absoultey love this lancia.
good to able to talk about cars with people who share my passion for them. I still think Jezza is the man, as he cut the weak cars from the truly great cars. like that stunning Ferrari 458 Itali, and theLamborghi avenator, and the not so good Toyota Pirius.

not impressed with topgear’s efforts in this week’s episode, why can’t they make a serious attempt at making scenes and impress rather than reverting back to stupid explosions and the falling over one another.

Hilarious episode that one. You guys really make some entertaining TV. The only true fun program on these days. The great part is how you guys stuck so long together and still enjoying things. I just love it.
Keep up enlightening our lives with Top Gear and make great funny episoded like that one.
BTW. It seemed like that bump in that little chinese car really hurt. Perhaps the Stig isn’t the only one who should bring a helmet along on those adventures

Takk: on SLS vs SLR time, SLS was 1:19.6. The SLR was, if I remember correctly 1:20.9, or somewhere in the late 1 minute 20 area.
