Another funny Episode guys. I know what you all mean though. Who can afford £100K-£200K Cars at 1st point and then track day them. Don't get me wrong i would if i could, but most people spend between 10k-20k. My scooby wasn't even 5k. I'm well skint
Just wish they would do some cars in the lower price bracket.
STILL LOVE THE SHOW AND WATCH IT EVERY WEEK

I did too, strangely. Two £100k limo's with no relevance to 99.9% of the population spoilt it a bit, but the road trip was very good, if a bit long. The guest was a proper petrolhead, still with something to plug, but worthy of being on the show at least. I'd have lopped 10 minutes off the road trip, and 5 minutes off the limo test to squeeze in some realistic cars in a group test in Wales/Scotland/Yorkshire/other. But that's just me.

Three cars, three presenters, drive around Europe and have boyish fun ...... excellent TV - but EVERY week? Nah, boring.
Star in a reasonably priced car ..... can they not think of something else? Puff in something Rough? Stig in a Chavmobile?
Anything .... Fifth Gear is even catching up!

The only thing i got from the supercar test was just how dated the british offering is looking....

are you being ironic?
i am not a TG hater by any means --- have always enjoyed it, after accepting it was no longer a car show and funnily enough so has my wife -- who has zero interest in cars (which after all was the secret TG ingredient)
but she did not look up from the paper once during the show-- and I found it, as previous posters have said, very very formulaic and not that entertaining OR informative
but hopefully it will improve -- although deep down I think this dog may have had its day

I enjoyed it, it's a great entertainment show for car lovers and non car lovers alike
It was a shame the track was wet as he probably would have gone to the top of the leaderboard with his driving credentials!!

Last nights episode was made by THOSE CARS and THAT ROAD and the usual brilliant camera work.
An excellent episode and a marked improvement on the last series which was tedious

However the Sandero joke has got to be stopped, it's is so boring now. The truck hitting it, the wrong turn into Boratville etc was all ruining what was an otherwise excellent road trip.
Fell asleep for the reasonably priced car as hate that part, no interest what so ever.
I'd have to take the Ferrari over the DB9 on that road. It was driving heaven
