The power he is running doesn't have much to do with how capable that car is.

Did you all see Michael McIntyre on about his Austin Metro Princess overtaking the Porsche 911? Priceless story, I haven't laughed so hard at Top Gear in a long time. Think we've all been in that retro car which feels like it's either gonna take off or break apart when it moves over 30mph at some point or other.

Oh yeah, Ken Block weren't bad either.

i noticed that they said it was 380bhp, but the car used in gymkhana 2 was way more than that..... ?

was good!

Pretty evident (in my eyes) that the car on top gear was his proper rally car, and he also has his gymkhana car.

they look the same.... as they have the same paint job/vinyl wrap!

His rally car on Top Gear had centre exit exhaust for a start, whereas the Gym car has twin exit.

Not to mention the Gym car is a Tarmac car, the rally car look setup for gravel (small wheels, big profile tyres, not slammed etc).

All in my opinion of course!

I thought his driving was mediocre to say the least and most people could do similar
