Richard Hammond discovers the greatest road he has NEVER driven | V8 road trip Pt.2

[@HenryBrooke1998]

You should definitely be making more content like this, it also gives people from other countries, like me, the opportunity to get to know the roads of the UK

[@iamperplexed4695]

They are roads, what do you needs to know?

[@DiplomacyKing1234567]

I agree more like this!

[@unpleasant1338]

I think this is kinda where it stops for the two of them, being the nature of the why they chose the roads. But it would be cool/funny to see Hammond driving May’s favorite road or Clarkson’s favorite stretch.

[@vipe650r]

Very well said. I LOVED this.

[@henryviii6341]

and why would WE want YOU to know where OUR best roads are - so that they then become congested.

[@priv8ejimmy]

Hammond describing memorizing the road then going through it in your mind to fall asleep, being able to pick whichever car you want, is something I didn't know I wanted.

[@LordInter]

currently nearly midnight and I can't sleep, off to kent I go in mu st225😊

[@apjtv2540]

I love how done with everything Hammond looks when the bagpipes comes on.

[@stanleyyelnats297]

This is the best thing Drivetribe has ever made. Bravo

[@evansickafoose5838]

Yes, absolutely more road trip content like this! These road trip videos harken back to the top gear and grand tour specials, and it’s a joy to watch. I think Richard was onto something when he suggested doing something like this with an older car. It would be interesting to see some of the other cars from the smallest cog do a road trip.

[@markmeltser1094]

That was superb. I found it very reminiscent of the early Top Gear/Grand Tours specials with the boys messing about but also sharing the incredible scenery. More please! 🙂

[@n7narcosis]

Nailed it 😎

[@LordInter]

and moments and insights and some explanation of things and thought's, so lovely

[@darren_anscombe]

Scotland. THE most majestic and mightiest of these British Isles. This englishman salutes you. Just magnificent.

[@Diggin00]

Supercharger noises are some of the best sounds the motoring world will ever know. I also agree with all the other comments about how we love this series. Well done!

[@timmiller2884]

We need many many more road trip videos like this. Probably the best thing that ever touched the internet! Richard is a legend and Mike was badass also

[@rossdinius3303]

I know this was just a 2 part show but I'd watch more of these. Mike and Richard are a perfect team

[@rogertaylorsmarakas1531]

We defo need more videos in scotland cuz it’s just such a beautiful place

[@ivovass195]

Violins and supercharger noises was a unexpectedly pleasant mix, awesome montage for the Duke's pass section and overall amazing production quality and cinematic, props to the entire team

[@Steaky007]

The NC500 is the best road trip in the uk, absolutely amazing. Go every year, never gets old and there’s so much to see

[@jamesmacd]

Except its bumper to bumper these days unfortunately

[@robinhadley]

Worst thing that's ever happened to this part of the country.

[@residentelect]

​@@jamesmacd I did the NC500 over a week in September 2021, after being shut indoors since April of the previous year. The missus and I took our Octavia VRs, which comfortably chewed up the miles. It was absolutely one of the defining periods of my life. No joke. To have been stuck inside for the majority of the previous year, it was the perfect setting to reinvigorate yourself. With the restrictions still being quite tough, and many people still too scared to venture further than the local chippy, the entire route was very quiet, the only real pain being the occasional camper van doing 12mph up uphill in 2nd lol I think every car/driving enthusiast should have it on their bucket list, as it is genuinely one of the most beautiful and thrilling sections of road in the world.

[@Steaky007]

@@robinhadley when it comes to tourists and camper vans yes, but backpacking and wild camping I feel is a bit different. I'm allowed to travel in my own country freely

[@leeriddick7]

One of the best and most elaborate Shell V-Power adverts I've ever seen since part one.

[@jamesbothoms6009]

I feel genuinely blessed to have lived in Scotland for most of the past 25 years. The Dukes Pass looks stunning, but I don’t think anything will top the A93 on a sunny day for me. Was lucky enough to drive it most weeks visiting the fiancé as she was back then in Blairgowrie from my home in Lossiemouth. Via the Dava moors road too for extra grin factor

[@earlofsmeg]

That was cool. Never been to Scotland so anything where they show it is a pure pleasure.

[@snyder54]

I really enjoy the scenic roadtrips ive been a fan of it since they started doing little bits on Top Gear. Thank you for this series! All to short in my opinion, also great drone footage.

[@Drivetribe]

Glad you like them!

[@bradsmith7581]

Mike’s decisions to play bagpipes upon entering Scotland followed by provision of copious amounts of Irn Bru was magnificent to watch. More of these trip videos please!

[@danwright7389]

As soon as Mike mentioned Stirling, I knew it was going to be the Duke’s Pass. What a piece of road that is. I’ve driven it three times, once in the dark which was interesting but yes that for me stuck in my memory as being one of the best roads I’ve driven. The best part is the winding up the hill from Aberfoyle, but once you get past the Ben A’an car park then past Loch Venachar it becomes a bit rougher and narrower. Glad to see it gets the recognition!

[@Wegra45]

Having family there thought "is that Aberfoyle?!" from the shots at 6:30 onwards, and then obviously realised they were going to dukes pass. Maybe I'm spoiled with having driven it too many times but don't feel like it's quite the revolutionary experience they describe here.. best part is definitely the first half up the hill past the visitor center etc as you say.

[@glennscott4571]

Pt 2 did not disappoint- 100% you’ve got to do more road trip style content!

[@TheRealMGM]

I loved this series. Mike and Richie have a great dynamic between them.

[@StiffBadger]

I spent 25 years living and driving Perthshire roads like this one and there are many, many more that are worthy of a Drivetribe video, from the blast around loch Rannoch to the step back in time from Amulree to Kenmore via Glen Quaich. Even the more mainstream A822 from Crieff through the Sma' Glen is pretty dramatic. Or over the shoulder of Ben Lawers to Glen Lyon, something that is more terrifying done in a landrover than a mini as the extra height makes the drop offs seem that bit more dangerous :D

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

I grew up just West of Glasgow in a small village and learnt to drive on roads like this. So glad I had a Peugeot 205 as my first car and no cell phone. 30+ years later and living over 4,000 miles away now I still remember some of them. Thanks for making these videos, brought back to mind some fun times

[@noelsplectrum9]

As a Scotsman this hits hard. What a beautiful land we have.

[@GarnockReviews]

Homesick alert!! I was born and raised in Scotland but now live in Florida. I love videos like this for the scenery, the filming, the banter. Keep it up gents, would love to see far more in the future.

[@vpnconsult]

Thank you Shell 🐚 for making this possible.

[@CarBore]

Yes!! I knew it was going to be the Dukes Pass..... Excellent Choice! I love that road 😍 Hard working drive but so rewarding in the right car.

[@robinhadley]

Personally I prefer Callander to Fort William,although I've not done the pass for a while.

[@mvee5944]

Definitely more road trip content like this, loved it. Especially as its UK based

[@crashbox7130]

I'll be taking my 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater from my home in the south Midlands to the Scottish Highlands towards the end of the month. Should take me two days to get north of Glasgow and into the Highlands. It's definitely going to be the most challenging road trip of my life so far, but I can't wait to hit the road and head north.

[@stefanfritzsche]

OH YESSSS !!!! is the clear (and probably obvious) answer to your question at the end ! you are really taking us on the journey WITH YOU. and for 20 minutes or so I completely forget I'm sitting at my desk watching a screen. just wonderful.

[@redtailpunk]

Kudos to Mike and the crew for these absolute gems of films in this road trip

[@TheBard84]

There is so much romance in the way Richard talks about driving and roads and cars it’s moving.

[@BkSMedia]

I remember the first I went to Dukes Pass! It was midnight, and I couldn't really see much in front, but the lovely notes of the 4GR singing away under the bonnet of my IS250 were just simply splendid. I'm so glad that it's only a 40 min journey from home, it's a very special road for me as well.

[@petemaloney9295]

I visited the Dukes Pass twice today. Once with my sister and brother in law, a lovely scenic drive. I then went up, in a modded VW Golf GTI, driven by my nephew. He knows this road so well. What a day!

[@rg6982]

The Dukes pass is now on my radar. My personal favourite stretch of road is currently Tyndrum to Oban. Great video guys.

[@DarkMandalore]

Really like this sort of content. Need to do one of these for Clarkson's favorite road and May's favorite road too.

Clarkson never seems to contribute much to this channel so I don't see that happening. Hopefully May would get involved though.

Been back and forward on that road 100 times. I completely Agree with Mike, its a fabulous drivers road. love it. Had a Saxo VTR, back in the day, was great fun up there.

[@DaveAber9999]

Awesome. I really enjoyed seeing where Hammond took us, but I was hoping Mike didn't disappoint with the Scottish selection. I was brought up in Gartmore, just 3 miles away from the Duke's Pass. I've many similar driving roads in my repertoire, but the Duke's Pass is my No1

[@JoshKidder]

Something else that contributes to the "Favorite Road" experience is the soundtrack, both car and music!!

Watching this just makes me miss my time in Scotland even more. Took a trip up there last year in my m3 with a bunch of friends and had the best time ever.

[@RosskoPeeko]

This is without a doubt one of the best roads I have ever drove on. The dukes pass is incredible and it literally test any drivers ability. Definitely a top 5 road for me. Love having roads like this out my back door.

[@VickyZip667]

Brilliantly done, Mike! It was so joyful to watch you both doing this road trip. And to answer your question: yes, more like this pretty please. I really start to like those more intimate films here more than those big tgt-spacials. And I enjoy seeing you growing into an equal presenter to Hammond. And having you, I think Hammond also gained back a certain honesty and accessibility. Very very cool!

[@guycarter7152]

Loved the video. Can you do a video of the best driving roads in Scotland. I want to plan a road trip that's not just the NC500!

[@WonnCraig]

This video was brilliant, best one yet. As a Scottish expat living abroad it gave me goosebumps looking at the beautiful scenery we have on our door steps. I used to love driving in the highlands.

[@Olli-wj3xf]

As someone who knows Richard Hammond since early Top Gear days I have to say I am stunned how connected to nature and how...whats the word...philosophical Hampster has become in his talking about the car as a instrument to connect people with places. And as someone from Germany who has visited all of Scandinavia and Iceland I have to say: This landscape, I got to see in the videos of drivetribe (and the guys from car throttle driving the nc 500) is absolutely stunning. I have to visit this magnificant country.

[@c2wak]

Absolutely love scotland roads, im both a super sport biker and hot hatch enthusuist so prefer these roads on a bike anyday. But only challenge with scotland is the weather. Its not as much fun in a bike when its wet or raining. If its in a car its more forgiving.

[@haz525]

Didn't really expect to be this early. But thanks for giving me a video to take my mind off things :)

[@todd3167]

Hammond talks about motoring skills, and that's what it's all about, for me anyway. Getting from point A to B in an appliance of a vehicle is fine, but there's a sense of joy and pride in driving well and doing so on a fabulous road in an enjoyable car.

[@theworldaccordingtojoe9269]

Yes you should and yes, don’t worry. The older Richard gets, the more he will appreciate your friendship. Bravo!

[@andrewgable7273]

As for roads go, I remember the Stelvio. That was incredible. Richard, did you ever think a perfect country road could be that close to home, for you to drive and experience?? Great and gorgeous drive guys. Thanks.

[@ducedevlstear2471]

Stelvio is extremely overrated 😀 Beautiful view, but the drive is nothing desirable. If you have the opportunity to do it sure, but don't expect any dream drive. Same goes for Furka. Both bumpy with campervans.

[@TheArcEngle]

This is why I love the Drive Tribe, videos like this brings you back to the og Grand Tour and even the old Top Gear.

[@newfoundlandhunter]

I love the road trip idea and that it doesn't have to be a competition. It can be just showing off great places a lot of people don't know exist
