I don't think she's going to be involved next season, because I heard they were scrapping the "lapping cars around the track" thing so there's no need for a race driver. And Abbie now races in the Super2 series (V8 Supercars junior/feeder series) in Australia. So since she's focusing on her racing career again, I would assume her TV career is over.

May's test makes sense. There's a reason why despite being rich, some rich guys in poor countries don't buy supercars or GT cars but rather buy luxury barges like S-Class, Maybachs, Rolls Royce or even the Bentley is because of a few factors. Speed and power isn't everything. It's how you apply it that makes it fast. You can drive a 92hp Suzuki Swift and still outbeat a 500hp Lamborghini in a countryside as those roads are bumpy and bad and while your Lambo may have the speed, you'll have to slow down to a crawl in order to not scratch the paint or damage the bodyworks due to expensive repairs if you do that. However in that Swift, you can plant your foot flat to the ground and just toss it around without a care if you scratch or ding something as the repair bills for those things are 10x cheaper than your GT/supercars. Now a Rolls and other luxury barges might not have the same repair bill as a Suzuki but their ride height are way higher than a normal GT/supercar thus when it goes on a bad road, it will not scratch the undercarriage so badly that it gives you worry and because it doesn't scrape, it could maintain a better speed per distance vs a contemporary GT car. May's experiment absolutely makes sense.

[@RandomCarGuy17]

This was one of my favorite tests on TGT as it does make sense. You can only go as fast as external factors around you allow, so a town like this will definately hold a faster car back. Heck, I felt held back in my normal sedan often due to all of the slowpokes and constant redlights I get in my own town. However, here's the problem with Captian Slow's test, it depends entirely on the area. Some areas will have factors that would allow their GT cars to catch up to the Renault. If they were on the Autobahn, the outcome would be different.

James is right here - my fastest car ever was a 2CV! I could drive 90 km to work in an hour, now the same 90 km will take at least 90 minutes in any car because of the increased trafic!

Brilliant....loved this but I couldn't drive it unless I'd cleaned and scrubbed it out...well done

It's either that or no holds barred misogyny. There are no middle grounds on the internet.

[@CuriousDiscourse]

@@CanalTremocos That's completely false. Most normal people don't care what gender someone is, its just the weirdos and creeps you feel compelled to comment on it.

[@CanalTremocos]

​@@CuriousDiscourse I wish I had your ISP. You seem to have a much better internet.

I see this all the time in the real world. People driving around weaving in and out of traffic endangering people's lives just to get a few seconds ahead. Then i pull up next to them at a red light. Was it worth it bud?

I got across the city way faster in my old 89 180sx than I do currently in my E92 M3 It’s all about the torque and ability to change directions quickly than horsepower and top speed. A small light car with decent power is perfect for the city.

I made the mistake of buying a 1985 Renault Encore new. A car writer of the time referred to the Renault Alliance and Encore as "desperation merchandise even when new". I agree with him 100%.

I like how you make it sound like James came up with an idea, then spent all of 12 hours to get it all arranged, including flying Abbie out to race like this, and still make his point.

[@manofweed1]

'Driving' around London, I can fully relate to this.

[@Wazoox]

Blast from the past, that very same Renault 9 was my second car :) Only 4 speed transmission, manual windows, but ... a computer with petrol mileage! :D

[@shafrobert]

Abbie can some kind of drive ! Hope you guys can work her into the upcoming 4th season !

[@FluffyL3vy]

I like how all of three got surrounded by lada's on all sides. Btw abbie's cute as hell.

[@f1talkwithharry]

great video

[@peris666]

Abbie is the greatest thing that could’ve happened to Grand Tour!
