Chris Harris on Cars - McLaren P1 Pirelli Trofeo R onboard Portimao

[@ThatMumboJumbo]

I was leaning into these corners from my arm chair.

[@Topuzzz]

+Mumbo Jumbo Now here's someone I kinda didn't expect here. Hi Mumbo!

[@SpeedDennis]

+Mumbo Jumbo I had the same problem :]

[@2jzandys444]

Stop commenting on car videos get back to your minecraft.

[@zhbroder]

+2jzandy s REKT

[@SpeedDennis]

News flash, CH is going o rock on TG!!!

[@19Bozzy92]

Love all those turbo sounds. What a great car!

[@SomeGuyCalledDosser]

I love that waste gate noise the P1 makes. So much more dramatic than the 650s or 675LT. I'd prefer to listen to that over the Ferrari V12

[@alexlam24]

+Jamie Wilson You mean blow off valve? Waste gates don't make noises.

[@Lewapolis]

+alexlam24 Go watch a few open dump wastegate videos and then come back.

[@GDA_Sam]

+alexlam24 they do if they are plummed atmospheric :-)

[@SomeGuyCalledDosser]

***** *slow clap

[@PapaHett]

1.5g in some of those corners. What a machine.

[@Riparay121]

1.5g in some of those corners, what a tyre.

[@PapaHett]

True. What a combination.

[@v_alexiadis]

+conaghy 1.7 actually! Interestingly it went up to 1.8 with the Corsas.

[@magisterartium]

+Alexis Chaumat tyres make a lot of difference

[@albertkelly7129]

+magisterartium indeed, on road cars tyres make MOST of the difference

[@Minimatt1967]

185mph on that straight... Mental. Love it.

[@dazburnside7340]

I didn't think it was going to hit 180 before the line

[@Minimatt1967]

+Daz Burnside it really built up a head of speed out of that last corner. Such a phenomenal car.

[@Froseization]

+Matt Ridings And brakes are mental too !

[@luispereira953]

+Matt Ridings so you can have an idea a standard cooper S (170hp) does around 180\190.... KM\H :D (i've tracked there)

[@Minimatt1967]

Wow, all the more impressive!!!

[@KaneDesigns]

What an amazing track! and the P1 seems the most alive and exciting to drive of the three hypercars.

[@Banchuba]

Thanks for uploading this!!!Was fun to watch!

[@Thesaltyseafish]

Thank you so much for posting this, what an animal of a car! There's only one thing in the world that even has a chance of touching it : The agera R. Please get your hands on one, we're all dying to see what it's capable of.

[@overduetax]

Made me cry. Superbly done, Harris. Thank you so much.

[@julianstrauss7575]

Congratulation Chris ! I am so happy and furious at the same time. I wait for little blue dots on your channel and live in Uruguay. I had the pri validate of watching you and living vicariously through your journey and now you are at bbc. I am happy and depressed at the same time. Could not have happened to a more genuine and beautiful character. God speed

[@jpracingph]

I can shave 2 seconds off of that time with the Trofeo's! Here, hold my beer…..

[@alsa4real]

Really?

[@danielwarren539]

I vicariously live through these videos! Great work!

[@LUNATIC75]

Yeah... Goes pretty well. The acceleration from 100mph is mental.

[@OracleJas]

Don't let this channel go Chris :(

[@stevetordoff]

That looks like a video game, with performance equally ridiculous! The full video was epic! Thanks Chris for a brilliant effort

[@SStarwind]

This will probably always be my favorite KZbin Channel

[@doraemonster916]

Going to enjoy watching you as one of the new hosts of Top Gear! Congrats!

[@aceyspud551]

Well, good luck with you're new job on Top Gear, Chris. Make it a wild ride.

[@Cloxxki]

Please Bring An Agera R(S) To This Circuit. If Koenigsegg want to help get the car dialed in, that would be fair.

[@aoalr]

+Cloxxki Or even better One:1

[@Cloxxki]

aoalr Imagine the Agera R (out of production baby Koenigsegg) on plain petrol schooling the hyped trio :-)

[@DethThrasher1]

+Cloxxki it wouldn't

[@TS050-]

lol, it would. Koenigsegg's may look like they're just all about power and top speed, but they're actually very capable on the track.

[@Spect8er1]

+barfyman362 An Agera R is capable of just shy of 2G's in the corners. It also weighs less than any of the trio and even on pump gas has over 50hp more. It would.

[@Agathorn]

Congrats on the news that you will be on Top Gear! I foresaw this ears ago! You will be the best name of the new crew for sure!

[@b00stedrust]

SOMEONE give this man a gt350r.. I love his articulate descriptions of cars and his amazing driving skills... Would love to see him with a real US track car at his hands. Great vid.

[@eleycki]

Chris Harris just saved top gear!! Glad you kept your style Chris. I could have watched your segment for 30mins!

[@captcannoli7293]

Where can i watch it ??

[@snowlover71]

Where are the videos man. What happens to that 6500 patreon

[@rvind92g]

+Brohana Exactly. Still waiting for the NSX review

[@superjervis]

+Brohana He is joining Top Gear

[@snowlover71]

+The Opinionator I was really hoping that wasn't true.

[@superjervis]

Brohana Well it isn't 100% official but it looks like that's the way it's going....i guess they made him an offer he couldn't refuse

[@telinoz1975]

Confirmed now.

[@cameronramsay8054]

Unbelievable comparison between all these cars. That Trofeo R tyre is an absolute animal!

[@xFusionzz1]

Congratulations on becoming one of the new top gear presenters!

[@longtailgt]

Holy fuck that thing is fast! No question its the fastest of the Holy Trinity. Great job McLaren!

[@tonygomezma]

+BlackWind Not at Laguna Seca or Thermal... it´s the slowest

[@teusinaerkin581]

+tonygomezma In silverstone it is the quickest.

[@Mustafa_Al_Bulushi94]

+Teusin Aerkin Sadly, I read somewhere that Viper ACR is faster than all hypercars.

[@Mustafa_Al_Bulushi94]

+Ben Dover a web site called fastestlaps. Viper lapped many tracks faster than both 918 and p1.

[@longtailgt]

*Fastest on this track. Sorry.

[@alasdairmacdonald9838]

Longtime fan Chris, have enjoyed your work from Autocar through Drivers Republic, stints at Evo, Drive, then this channel and I presume I'll enjoy your work on Top Gear too. How about a final vid on here saying fairwell to this channel or at least an update. As salty as many fans of Top Gear were with the departure of Ckarkson and co there are also plenty admirers of your work who'll be thrilled to see you get the exposure you deserve. Can't wait to see what you get up to next.

[@constructivecritique4049]

Phenomenal grrrip. Wow. And, that transmission. It shifts in the blink of an eye. Amazing.

[@kswitch5870]

bye Chris. Hope to see you around here some day

[@errflow]

Lovely circuit. Lovely Car. Lovely lap. Chris Harris you are blessed.

[@8tenthsGaming]

Congrats Chris! Look forward to seeing you on Top Gear!!

[@marksapollo]

That acceleration is just vicious! And it's a road car!! Great video. And congratulations to being a Top Gear presenter!!!!

[@jdmtouge2457]

GT3 RS vs 488 GTB vs Huracan please!!! Love you Chris

[@Jesskellya]

+JDMTouge Lambo and Chris are not friends, currently!

[@jdmtouge2457]

+Jeston Aylen Yeah I know but that doesn't mean he can't get one, he is pretty smart he always find a way haha. Well I would love to see GT3 RS vs 488 GTB, just adding the Huracan would be more interesting since I wonder how it compares to the Porsche and Ferrari.

[@Bartie96]

+JDMTouge I dont get why you would want this. He has done multiple separate tests on both of them, and they are completely different cars for different audiences. If you want to draw a conclusion on them, you might be able to do it yourself.

[@jdmtouge2457]

+Bartie96 Because they are priced similarly, both are made for driving purists but achieve their performance in a different way. They are my 2 dream cars.

[@mauricevan1506]

+JDMTouge :D the answer is not rational but: I wanna see the g3rs as much as I can

[@DAGATHire]

The acceleration is mind bending!

[@BTN-Global]

Now that's what we call magnificent car. Great vid Chris!

[@Madogen]

just saw the new top gear line up. bloody well done mate! been watching you on Drive for a while. Again, many congratulations!

[@dawiepieterse9703]

congrats Chris on the new job!! 😎

[@rotormasher]

Makes me want to do a track day in Portimao down the Algarve, proud to be Portuguese! What a track and what a car ofc!!

[@markiplierSINGSbadly]

Amazing how much this SOUNDS like gran turismo 2 sounds... magical feeling imho

[@alvaskins]

Well done on the Top Gear job!!!!!

[@justin6378]

Chris Harris is the only reason for me to watch the new top gear! the other presents leave me a little off about the whole show.

[@George-sy8jw]

yo Harris you still kicking or what dog. you were once the king of automotive reviews. we miss you! bless us with your great videos please!

[@JackLucasCaffrey]

Good Luck On Presenting Top Gear!

[@paulp7692]

Congrats on being selected as a Top Gear presenter! Couldn't have gone to a better person.

[@superjervis]

For people wondering why there are no videos from Chris Harris...he is joining Top Gear

[@drdavinlim]

Makes my Clio 182 Cup look like a push bike.... great video CH. Nice driving, what a car!

[@KLINGY94]

Congrats on being one of the new Top Gear hosts!

[@matthijsborgdorff7766]

Was just doing this in Assetto Corsa, inspired by your previous video. 1.48.3 in the P1 on trofeos. 1.50.7 in the LaFerrari. Amazing fun!

[@dcanmore]

Congratulations Chris on the Top Gear job, I was hoping you would be involved because you're going to be the best thing in it!

[@s.-8406]

Chris, you legend! Can't wait for more content, especially the 911 GTS video!!

[@markjurczyk]

+Stijn P. Legend ? Hahahah

[@s.-8406]

Mark J Well, not literally, hero? I guess?

[@lonersanonymous]

+Stijn P. No legend is definitely what Chris is

[@s.-8406]

Damien W Yeah true, I don't know what Mark wants to hear really

[@exxorcet]

The P1 engine and turbo sounds really takes me back to watching Getaway in Stockholm 2 with the Ford Escort and being blown away by how cool it sounded.

[@BEM_01]

You left us hanging man. Atleast give your loyal subscriber a farewell. Another youtube channel i look up to now gone. All the best for TG!

[@DR991_]

Put these tyres on the 918 and see what's happening. The 918 weights more, is less powerful amd can go around the lap in electric mode while still being as fast as the P1 in race mode!! THAT is impressing.

[@nerdlair5600]

+DR They aren't the right size. If they were though, it would be a lot faster.

[@matyaswolf7216]

planned to watch again the p1 lap from the original video, but you cut it out for us. You know what we like

[@anonymzs]

just insane the way it changes direction at those speeds

[@markzzzsmith]

Congratulations on the Top Gear job Chris!

[@tomfidler2170]

CONGRATS ON THE SHOW MAN

[@lulzimi]

Good luck at Top Gear, to be honest having you on that show makes it way more interesting to wait for :D

[@monkylondon]

Like a boss, love your skills ✌

[@B0GlES]

Congrats on landing Top Gear, fella!!! This is HUGE!!!! So excited :)

[@Nookinizm]

Thanks for the upload. This was great!

[@jimtaylor431]

The acceleration is just unreal. Bucket list objective added - to at least somehow blag a passenger ride in one of these. Incredible.

[@tarekz9992]

Those tires are mental, hardly a struggle, practically as good as slicks

[@tahidul7]

Congrats on getting the top gear job!!!

[@SenatorBanana]

i think its criminal your talents are mostly reserved to reviews mr harris

[@robertmcbride2010]

Congrats on the Top Gear job Chris!

[@RoshanTorcy]

Jeez, the Trofeo R shows how much difference an more aggressive tire can do... the front end just seems so much more stickier and cooperative compared to the standard Corsas... that 1.8g corner must have been intense. Ferrari just seemed to do a dumb thing by opting for such a fat rear rim for which there seems to be no street legal R compound tire available like the Michelin Cup2 or the Trofeo, and to keep things fair to themselves they make every competitor run on their not as fat rear street tires in tests, and they still manage to cock up. I mean what sort of an idiot that owns any of those beasts would take them to a track and not have enough spare change for a set of R compounds. Just silly if you ask me. If they opted for a slightly more conventional width at the back and sacrificed some performance on the street then they could have the option to strap on a set of stickies and obliterate the competition on track. ~.~

[@zyoungson]

go tell Ferrari that lol u fukn expert

[@RoshanTorcy]

Zac Youngson Sorry if I offended you Zac. I'm not bashing Ferrari here, I think it's one of the greatest cars ever built. The stuff I stated above came straight from people who drove that thing so I was just expressing my confusion about why Ferrari chose to make a decision that would only allow their car to be driven at 9/10ths in motor tests while in stock form while simultaneously asking for the competitors to do so as well. My english is pretty shit so I may have come across as an angry tard back there so apologies for that. :D

[@MattMK45]

I thought he might upload this lap. Nice!

[@Anonymous-pm7jf]

Well done Chris Harris. I salute you. Thank you indeed.

[@badermohamed32]

congratulations mr.top gear presenter.

[@berniebgf]

We miss you Chris, Come Back!!!

[@user-563o45]

Chris I hope you're still alive we miss your videos

[@SpeedDennis]

News flash, CH is going to rock on TG!!!

[@jamesvidder]

Well done for getting the top gear job!! I wrote to them saying you would be great at topgear!!

[@mattcoombs4916]

Just heard Chris is to be one of the new presenters on Top Gear. Congrats Chris, but a little sad we wont be getting anymore CHOC

[@leoedward7363]

Portimao is so like the Handling Track at Nardo. Looks amazing

[@SuryaDe]

Beautiful driving sir!

[@adamhensall2099]

Good look on top gear! You have a lot to love Upto

[@rpolivnick9030]

Great car, great track and great driving

[@HafedMarzouk]

No more Chris Harris videos! That is really sad...

[@junior5146]

Congrats Chris!

[@MattyI971]

No comment needed ✌

[@amygal1000]

+Matty Watson What?

[@powerfultoa7]

+amy gal Error in the system lol

[@shortFarT100]

Hey Chris just saw you on bbc3. So that's why it was so quiet on your chanel. Thumb up mate keep on the good work

[@cameronramsay8054]

Is anyone else dying to see a head to head between the Mclaren 650S and the Ferrari 488 GTB? Or even the 675lt even though it's limited edition!

[@anotherone10]

The P1 choo choo's really well

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

The real question is..how do you make a road car any faster than this? Better yet, what's the point? I guess for the .00001% who can own these cars and for those who will use them properly on the track. Incredible engineering on both the car and tire.

[@H.Ash9]

Awesome lap

[@iud9476]

Where is Chris gone? It has been 2 months since his last video

[@SephirothXTR]

+Iftikhar Uddin Chris is gonna be the new host of Top Gear so i guees he is recording there or preparing for it i guess.

[@larsfriden6764]

Chris #1 Thank you!!

[@outc0ming]

Congratz on Top Gear, hope you can live up the reputation May, Hammond and Clarkson has made.

[@superjervis]

+outcoming He'll be great but could never live up to that chemsitry

[@HeavensGremlin]

Not a bad old banger... :-P Nice track too - and the weather.

[@khashayarchegeni134]

Waiting for the Focus RS/or any video.. it's been two months of absence!

[@ronjaspappa]

Just missing an Agera RS or One:1... :)

[@mariuszanfir2298]

+Håkan Lindfors I think no one is willing to provide one or something like that. Is not like journalists are running away from Koenigsegg, they don't get to drive them because they are not offered to. Which is kinda weird, isn't it?

[@karlos0955]

+Mzn T It may be that Koenigsegg is no longer considered in the same league, price wise or power wise. The RS is about 600k more than the LaFerrari(the most expensive of the three) and it makes about 200 hp more than the LaFerrari(most powerful of the trio) while it weighs in over 300lbs less than the McLaren(lightest). There's a video out there claiming the older Agera R is outlapping the three, surely the track oriented RS would be able to turn even faster laps.

[@Shadowboost]

+Karl Schiesz Except it would be false. The P1's laptime at Spa is quicker than the One:1's laptime

[@ronjaspappa]

+Ben Dover and others, Koenigsegg actually have a very good answer to it all at their website :) koenigsegg.com/holytrinity-vs-koenigsegg/ I strongly recommend you to check the blog....they will be following the build of the Agera RS no7 from start to finish.... the first one för the american market!

[@ronjaspappa]

Yeah the twistier stuff doesn´t do the Egg any favors so to speak.... but I´m sure we will se something as soon as they get a presscar ready. Would really like to see Harris and some other journalists in a proper test.

[@powersurge001]

For reference, the pole lap for the Blancpain GT series at this track this year was a 1:43.4 done by an Audi R8 LMS.

[@wesleythompson5085]

Holy crap that thing moves! reckon I'd still do him in my 320D 🚗💨

[@BlakesGarage]

WOW JUST WOW SO AMAZING!

[@enigmaPL]

I think you should show the Top Gear producers the things you've accomplished and how you've done them, on this channel. This is the kind of content automotive enthusiasts love and enjoy, and if new Top Gear was anything like this channel, it would actually be worth a watch. I hate saying that, knowing people have dedicated time and effort into Top Gear but it just seems a mess. The fact that you guys were put on the side show actually irritated me, because not only did I expect, but I rather see you present the main show. You have a better personality, and are evidently more passionate about cars on the show than anyone, along with Sabine obviously. Chris Harris & Sabine Schmitz ; now THAT would be a Top Gear worth watching!

[@jordanowens5455]

agreed!

[@pirellli83]

With the biggest Part of your comment, i agree. BUT, in a 1000 years, Sabine wont feel the same Chris does, driving or explaning a 23hp 2CV and then a 9XX P1. She is maybe a good Racer, but Social skills are missing. The Last One i wanna get drunk with.

[@grabmint]

You are the GREATEST Car Presenter !!! LOVE Your Videos !!! Have We Lost You to Top Gear ? What will Happen to Neil ? Next Time You're Reviewing "Hot Hatches" Don't Forget the Ferrari F12 is a Hatchback. Ultimate & Funny

[@Dube230]

Wow, what a track!

[@zkljaja]

Now i see that Salomondrin did a pretty good video actually with Hyper 5

[@yankidiot]

Nice one Chris you own the top 5 fastest laptimes at Portimao
