I think it's very awesome Richard stepped back into the Rimac after that harrowing crash in 2017 true sense of bravery in that, also the Nevera is such an insane hypercar can't wait to see what Rimac have in store for it!

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

Yeah he was very brave indeed 🙂

[@arightpest3367]

Also helps he didn’t have any hills to fall down.

[@gryffent]

Congratulations @Richard Hammond on a safe drive! There may not have been a mountain to fall off, but there were plenty of other things you could have…bumped into? I applaud your restraint in not attempting to jump the Nevera over the Atlantic Ocean just to see if it can be done. Bravo Sir! I was sweating bullets at the idea and seriously applaud you for getting back into another Rimac after your last encounter. That took more courage than I’d have.😅

Good on ya, Richard, for going over the hump and seeing the other side of trauma. Jokes and all are fun, but that was really scary and we all know it. Takes a lot of recovery to be able to drive this car again and I'm just so proud and happy for you dude. Cheers to life.

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

Thank you for the kind words 🙂

[@soulcornflake1]

It was serious when I read Jeremy's account on Drive Tribe and genuinely thought he was dead. Not just hurt but actually dead.

[@RPdyke]

Always a good time seeing the bts crew! They deserve the love just as much.

[@OliversGarage]

Thank you so much for sharing this behind the scenes moments. Just love it! Great channel!

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

We’re glad you’re enjoying it!

[@nigelwest3430]

One of the most terrifying moments of my life was being driven round the Alpine route at Millbrook by a professional test driver in a one-off prototype supercar that we had just finished bolting together 😮😱

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

That’s cool!

[@airwavesfromholland]

His passenger had a fire extinguisher in his hands, they really trusted Richard again...

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

They were great sports and fantastic to work with 🙂

[@BSA_Airgunning]

One of the best looking electric cars ever

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

It’s quite something!

[@Rye271]

Honestly hammond is amazing and brave getting back in a rimac. Great video and loving the new channel

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

We agree! And thank you 🙏

Thx for the look at that camera setup. Quite cool. Must have been pricy :)

[@squiggyg.8415]

It’s nice you showed your relief …kinda like you relieving yourself 😎

[@sianwarwick633]

Richard, dude, never apologise for them, whoever they were, putting you in a situation that was basically nuts to begin with. Ya know ? I hope you never have to address the Rimac issue ever again.

[@andrewwhite1305]

Im so glad there's more drivetribe 😊

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

And we’re glad you’re here to view it!

[@OllieW501]

Is it possible thst thr crash axtually boosted Rimac's profile, or was it financially painful for them? Discuss.

[@soulcornflake1]

According to Mate Rimac, the crash increased the name recognition of the company and got orders for the car out of it.

[@user-xo7kl8oq3k]

Love this but when a car is called a fridge(nevera Spanish)you normally don’t think it would be sleek and runs on batteries.

[@Cloxxki]

I suspect Rimac got a great rep for how well the car took Hammond's crash. For such a small series car, it just did what it had to in terms of safety.

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

Without a doubt!

[@shepard21]

It's amazing they didn't call the fire bigrade to standby

[@rennwolfwolfgangkriegl]

This is actually a rather smart looking battery pack on wheels. Put a proper engine in it and it might even become desirable.

[@Account1746]

The rimiiiiiiii

[@rptbr]

Why were Richard's iPhone camera lenses taped up?

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

We were filming at UTAC (Millbrook) where there is often secret testing being carried out by manufacturers of unreleased cars etc. You have to cover your lenses on your phone whilst on site and you have a minder with you during the day to ensure your main cameras are not capturing anything you shouldn’t be.

[@rptbr]

@@MoreDRIVETRIBE that's fascinating, thanks for explaining that nuance. Would be really interesting on this channel to explore those unusual ins-n-outs / technical aspects of making these videos a reality

[@liviubita4238]

I'm pretty sure if Captain Slow was Hammond's copilot on that horrific day, nothing wrong would have happened! May: - Hammond, you hooligan, slow down, you're not in the race anymore! Hammond: - Well, alright! But, you do know I have a reputation to uphold, right? May: - If you "keep" your reputation and I survive, I swear to God I'll personally name every flower, shovel and grain of dirt that's been used on your grave!

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

🙂

[@droid1008]

i like the fact it doesn't look like a frog or an egg it looks like it could have anything from a V8 to a V12 in it, but it doesn't it just looks like a hypercar

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

It’s a very special thing!

[@hunterkiller1984]

Make sure Hammond consumes plenty of Brown food amd Brown drink before deiving a fast car .

[@somguy728]

Not sure about the helmet rules here, you're not wearing but your passenger is? That must've been reassuring.

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

It was part of the joke.

[@Cube-3710]

I was expecting a crash...

[@MoreDRIVETRIBE]

I think we all were...

[@Cube-3710]

@@MoreDRIVETRIBE what cars has Hammond driven and not crashed on camera? The one i remember is in the Lochdwon the Mach 1!
