The modified 747 in the background that has been seen in many a Top Gear sequence or lap over the years was actually the basis for the fictional Skyfleet aircraft in Casino Royale. The double engines and wing pods layout is totally fictional being made up from parts of an old VC-10 as I recall.

[@peterbrazier7107]

The Vickers/BAC VC-10 has four engines at the back, it is quieter for the passengers. They were used as Tankers by the RAF after BA retired them as Airliners.

[@panman1964]

@@peterbrazier7107 They were also used a passenger transport by the RAF, main difference between RAF usage & Civilian usage being that in the RAF passengers sat facing the rear of the aircraft to make it safer in case of a crash

[@peterbrazier7107]

[@katywalker8322]

@@panman1964 , I had a flight on one many years ago in the air cadets. It is slightly strange looking down the cabin while taking off. I was fine, but I can understand some people getting airsick from it. Think the BAC1-11 had a couple of rear facing seats at the front of the cabin in normal airline use.

13:15. If I remember correctly the P1 didn't go around at least with the original trio. That was the time when they had the "Ferrari the ferrari", P1, and Porsche 918. There were some issues with the 3 manufacturers not agreeing to have the times posted unless they fulfilled some stipulations but none of them could agree so it never happened. It did finally happen on the Grand Tour, they left Top Gear before it was able to happen

[@reecejt]

Yep you got it spot on!

[@Stupot]

The grey aircraft with the four engine tail configuration is a VC10, it was used to transfer passengers and troops, this was my favorite large jet back in the day when it was flying and was discontinued due to noise regulations. I still remember vividly the roar it made at takeoff.

[@TheMcspreader]

And bizarrely, the cabin seats face the tail.

[@Stupot]

@@TheMcspreader true, it was done for safety reasons but was done only on the military version.

[@lezivanerrol3697]

The roar and pushback in the seat. BOAC out of Calcutta 1972. I was wondering if the pilots thought they were back in the RAF. The VC10 and QANTAS's hotrod 707's - back before the fuel crisis the pilots must have delighted in pinning the passengers back in the seats on take off.

[@a9503128]

The aircraft in the background was used in the James Bond film Casino Royal… it’s a film set now.

Definitely a lifetime goal/ achievement. I like cars but have never dreamed of or ever vaguely wanted to own any type of high end luxury or exotic type. I'd much rather watch a video of something involving a cool car than own one. I did love Top Gear. At least the James, Jeremy, Hammond version. I could watch May and Jeremy wash dishes and be entertained. Episodes featuring the Stig were always great also. Congrats! Florida man has officially made it.

Among the modifications were the fitting of twin mock-up "Boeing B-52" style engines on each of the inner engine pylons, with the outer ones instead holding mock-up external fuel tanks.

[@davidestate]

Drive on the Top Gear track would be anyone's dream. Top Gear turned me into the man that loves cars and I can't stand when someone says they don't or that it's just for A to B. Now, we all know that Tom Cruise did amazing in that same car on the same track and he did 1.44, so you did amazing.

[@martinsadler707]

The aircraft you couldn’t identify is a Vickers VC10. One of the best if not the best non-wide body passenger aircraft ever built. I believe it still holds the record for the fastest (non-supersonic) crossing of the Atlantic. The RAF took them on after they were superseded in airline service and converted many to tanker refuelling tankers.

The grey military plane is a British made Vickers VC10. They are from the early 60s and flew up until the 90s as troop transport. Some operated as air to air refuelling tankers too.

Honestly this should've gone up on your main channel. Especially the younger guys that didn't grow up with Top Gear need to know how special this is.

Liana looks almost like Tata Indigo which came in 2002 in India. The headlights, the grill the front bumper with fog lamps. And the entire profile of car looks quite similar. We had one from 2005 to 2024, 1.4L Turbo Diesel with intercooler. Sold couple of months ago with 2.75 lakh km on odo. Only routine service. But its been mostly laying idle catching cobwebs for past 5-10yrs

[@ianelliott229]

I wasn’t surprised by your time, it was so smooth and undramatic.

[@phildavis434]

The VC 10 used by the Royal Air Force, was when used by airlines the fastest passenger airliner at just subsonic speed. They were designed to refuel the supersonic military aircraft, allowing them to drop from supersonice to subsonic, refuel, back to supersonic without wasting time. Such a cool jet, weird facing backwards though. Only time I have been airsick. The rear facing seats were apparently so that 8f it crashed it was safer for the passengers…🤷‍♂️.

[@IISTAGII]

Man, i know i dont speak for myself when i say this show was the start of my love for cars. This made me think of all the laps Ive made on this track back in the day in the old forza motorsports. I would sit there and just see what lap times i could get in various cars narrating them to myself like I was jeremy. Its a shame the shows not still around i would have loved to see episodes on all these youtubers doing lap times for the show, and the interviews after. What an awesome experience, with the stig none the less! Chefs kiss boys, congrats! 🤌

[@StephenCole1916]

Looking at the lap times on the fandom site, 1.49.85 is faster than these stars that came in at exactly 1.50.0; Martin Clunes, Jeremy Clarkson, Lionel Richie, Cliff Richard, Patrick Stewart, Jamie Oliver, & Gordon Ramsay! The person ever so slightly faster than Freddy is Roger Daltrey that came in at 1.49.7! Way to go Freddy!

Koenigsegg took a tyre warming lap on the recently resurfaced Laguna Seca. Could they do a "TG" lap, for kicks?

These high power hypercars driver by factory drivers just don't seem to be giving it all. Lingering half throttle approaching corners...
