James May and Kris Meeke's Bentley Rally - Top Gear - Series 19 Episode 1 - BBC

[@cruachan1191]

I'd forgotten just how insane this clip is. To drive at that speed in a road car that weighs that much on a rally stage is just incredible. And with a useless co-driver too.

[@etam8099]

Hey don't talk like that to May, that was his first time plus he got better later on in the race

[@notpissedenough5623]

@@etam8099 hey shut up anime pfp

[@802Garage]

I loved this episode. Couldn't believe they drove the car like that and it did so well. Solid driver for sure.

[@PhiI93]

"Square right" "Sorry square left" Had me in absolute stitches, gotta love May

[@JaYb97716]

***** haha LOL

[@hueyfreemanhisanimatedfrie925]

Kris: James, either get it right or shut up.

[@andilemkhize5952]

Suicidal 😂

[@JaYb97716]

This is why WRC drivers are the best all-round drivers in the world.

[@speedometer111]

+Jamie Stirzaker Better than Group B drivers?

+speedometer111 the group B are all in heaven, this is the earth

[@JaYb97716]

Oh sorry, I meant in general, top rally drivers are overall the best drivers in the world.

[@TheRadiag]

+Rafael Nádasi Walter Röhrl is still kicking! Test driver for Porsche. Stig Blomqvist also is still alive and well!

[@welphxt]

2 years ago we had Stig Blomqvist at my job. He was helping some people with tools for a feedwater turbine :) Btw, he touched and used my torchlight! Any bidders? :D

[@RAID3R63]

Everyone in attendance had to be asking "Was That A BENTLEY?"

[@TheGreeegory]

this is a great ad for bentley

[@lightsaberlordp373]

Definitely with that super slow motion

[@kikeeseesel]

i bet that the bentley is happier there than just collecting shopping in rodeo drive ^_^

[@hellocar123]

and feels better in the hands of a professional driver, not a housewife that will reverse it into the car behind one day :D

[@vivaanezequiel9787]

Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tips you can give me.

[@johnnycrew2517]

@Vivaan Ezequiel instablaster =)

[@vivaanezequiel9787]

@Johnny Crew Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@vivaanezequiel9787]

@Johnny Crew It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@TrisSpy]

Can't explain it, but that's just epic to watch. The way that Bentley does those corners and jumps is just phenomenal.

[@sunnyt4241]

On Craigslist: "Nice Bentley in like new condition, low milage, garage kept, price fixed"

[@gordonremsey8055]

That's basically DoneDeal in Ireland

[@Oblio1942]

you forgot "will trade for atv or dirtbike. I know what I have"

[@marcusglozanski3025]

Take in, after 9 years, we all still coming here to watch this glory. Bentleys can MOVE

[@hansesa4586]

The motor sound of this Bentley has been deeply stuck in my subsconcience since I first saw this video. Every 2 months or so I come back here because theres something itching in the back of my head..

[@flyingphoenix113]

The W12 certainly makes a unique sound!

Probably a tumor.

[@hansesa4586]

+Seán O'Nilbud Haha.. that's... that's funny.. Are you a comediun or sumfing?

[@aaz1992]

This video doesn't do it justice. In reality, it sounds like a thunderstorm

[@elouanp4588]

I confirm, i have a 2006 continental GT and the W12 sound is a pure melody

[@ondrejbabik3000]

One of the best Top Gear pieces.....

[@zerocool-zerocool]

Ondrej Babík and they fired them and brought idiots with an american leading

[@JamesCleevely]

for me, this is one of the most amazing things I have seen on TG. I never liked the Continental GT before, but now, I love it!

[@andy14landy]

One of the most impressive things I've seen on telly. Love it when Top Gear do amazing things with standard road cars.

[@blairbrown4812]

In retrospect,I wish we could have had a post-race interview with Kris so that we could have gotten his impressions on whether or not he considered the Bentley a proper rallying car.

[@ShanesAutos]

He’d probably say it was impressive for a big heavy land yacht which it is. Nobody who owns one of these cars would drive it on so much as gravel track in case it’d get a little dusty and yet here it is hauling ass on a bumpy, muddy narrow rally stage.

[@yellowmalice3036]

The most stunning and visceral stunt I've ever seen done with a Continental GT.

[@YogaArmy]

LOVE the high pitch sound of an engine and exhaust... a symphony of beauty

[@theobruno-pichard5472]

sound of the engine is just amazing😮

[@megaspray4606]

The trio have done so much with Bentleys, rally stage in the UK, quarry rally in Australia, rock crawling in Madagascar and a huge road trip in Georgia

[@jackmagnium6115]

they are literal tanks of a car. makes cadillac look like trash

[@entool7]

Now, that's a proper way to drive a Bentley.

[@kseries1981]

140 mph on that road? Is that for real?!

[@KristianKumpula]

That kind of speed is normal for rally drivers even on twisty and muddy gravel roads.

[@iShadowCZ]

with WRC car they can go even faster! :D

[@asatrv]

***** Kristian Kumpula Average rally speeds are about 70-80 mph...

[@KristianKumpula]

asatrv I wasn't saying it's the average speed, I was saying it's a normal speed...

[@robertslugg8361]

Seemed slow compared to the Isle of Man stuff. But just a great vid overall, and they didn't come in last.

[@Samael78]

I wish they raced Bentleys, Skylines and Porsches in WRC. It would be awesome to have a supercar division.

[@andrewtheodorethomas]

Very captivating the first time I saw this on TV. I appreciated the intensity and seriousness frrom the driver.

[@HekateMGO]

Wow... the Bentley looks so composed, majestic and dignified even roaring along a dirt road, flying and plowing through water. I am in awe before its majesticness.

[@sam_scott_85]

Rally is really the best thing ever

[@dexterdajuice6913]

Probably my favorite moment on Top Gear

[@thewalrus1968]

kris meeke is a pure legend... loved this

[@kevgits]

Definitely one of the best vids TG ever made. That drive is out of this world, Kris must have popped at least 5 cans of redbull before this run. Absolutely mind blowing performance.Not so for James though.

[@SuperRocktron]

If ever there was a time to use the 'F' word, you'd have to say ' this vid is fucking brilliant, had to watch it 3 times, hats off to everyone. OH, the camera work is probably academy award winning as well.

[@Playinghaloin2004]

Woodhouse! Quickly! My rifle! I've spotted a poor person!

[@SmileyLegoGuy]

If someone stripped that car of all the heavy luxury stuff, like absoutley everything, it would be a bullet. Now, the comes the hard part. Finding someone that would want to do it...

[@Kookanoodles]

Look up the Bentley Continental GT3, you'll be pleased.

[@mypolopony]

Yes, but why would you?

[@RAID3R63]

Selwyn-Lloyd McPherson Because you can, and Why wouldnt you?

[@Atrac89]

SmileyLegoGuy Talk to my boss. Her husband had bought her a Bently three times. She stripped the car by crashing them constantly.

[@c704710]

shocktop Well a Bentley is better to crash in than say, a CRX. And before this clip (in episode) the Driver said his only concern about the Bentley was slowing down when required (so, just the weight issue)

[@agondokusumo-111]

I'd liked to see the full on-board video of that super special stage.

[@JaYb97716]

This is why Top Gear was the best programme on TV ever in history. No other show touched it. My mum loved it and wouldn't miss an episode (even though sh'es not into cars and hates Jeremy Clarkson). Go figure. The three presenters were all so different yet were perfectly similar. RIP Top Gear =(

[@BoxyTheSpaceDog]

Jamie Stirzaker German ones like Drive It from DW TV are better,more informative about cars and their capability.Top Gear is more like fan fun show than realistic insight into car models.

[@Kvayzmode]

The best car porn ever.

[@ConnorRB]

what...

[@arso191]

haahahahahahahaha

[@allelujah12341]

I agreed! Better than naked body porn videos

[@sunnyt4241]

+Павел Сидоров With rape plot..

[@j2_zero]

James was there just doing the narration

[@cavanrallymad]

irish rally talent at its best! you did us proud kris! hope to see you in the wrc again!

[@AOthman96]

Kris is an awesome driver. I can't wait to see his performance in rally Monte Carlo next week

[@Smittykat2]

The overall production value of Top Gear UK is outstanding! I can't think of any other show that I find as entertaining as this. From the first year to now, Top Gear UK is unquestionably the best made, produced and hosted show around!

[@akintundeadenodi219]

This clip has always made me love a Bentley even more ♥️

[@blueonblack83]

This video is my guilty pleasure :P

[@satrioadji219]

"man in road"

[@Tomcat_Coyote]

1:21 It's flying !! Beautiful car :)

[@thatguyalex2835]

Where we're going, we don't need any roads. :)

[@4FOGIDNI]

Now my friends, that's how you drive a Bentley!

[@kevuba]

Bloody hell!!! Was that awesome or what???

[@YogaArmy]

AMAZING video with incredible driving! Wow Fantastic!

[@ShanesAutos]

That was some bit of driving and the way he took them tight bends were he would normally use a hydraulic handbrake was brilliant. Bentley couldn't have got better advertisement

[@imarginacionmxd]

Keep the videos coming!

[@brownblair98]

I wonder if Bentley will go into rallying after this?

[@jeancrypto1528]

just can't believe my eyes, this this car just became one of my favorite cars ever

[@gjani1980]

Awesome! I am really impressed being a big Subaru fan! Well done Bentley!

[@ntando_nje]

To think this was done with it's regular street tires and stock suspension is just wow

[@fahimsultan93]

the sound of that exhaust, music to my ears

[@arrowsuper1754]

I've seen many times,and this never gets old.

[@pmbunmahafajarastanaprima5009]

2:12 143 mph on gravel, in a Bentley. Unreal

[@TheSevenSpades]

It is abundantly clear that James was feeling very queasy and it was very hard for him to read the notes. I think that she people here just thought he didn't know what was required.Just look at his face when you watch it a second time and it is obvious.

[@mikethebike2463]

Yeah, scared to death

[@techtt6213]

1:21 that landing was incredibly stable, good suspension.

[@andilemkhize5952]

2023 I’m still amazed by this video 🔥🔥🔥

[@xm8909]

You left out the best part. Chris shortly before takeoff: „A Bentley on a rally stage is a bad idea.“ James: 😳

[@rafval1]

The video is absolute fantastic!

[@thebeast-puntomk2878]

That's the best piece of driving I've seen in a while

[@TaufikAkbar7]

you should watch WRC videos. it's like CROWD standing just 3-5ft from the track and all the driver just went trough smoothly. fantastic!

[@Nick-qx1vf]

I still can’t believe Bentley let them do this !!

[@starsonata321]

This has to be my all time favourite TG clip

[@SirKnobofCheese]

Best advert for a Bentley ever

[@mattynigma]

I love James May infinitely

[@alexkit20022002]

Bentley can rally !!

[@Bacciagalupe]

Co-drivers have HUGE guts

[@paulcurran5117]

I was half expecting to see those in more detail but well done for keeping it down James!

[@kaizerplay4949]

It's me, or actualy the W12 sounds great :o

[@Rlnthndr]

+Kaizer Play this wasn't the w12. It was the 4.0 V8. You can tell when they show the RPM gauge, W12 doesn't rev to 6k rpm.

[@rajeshmohan4045]

its a twin turbo v8 i think

[@Kzer29800]

The W12 reach 6k rpm, and it sounds like a v6.. I'm pretty sure it's the w12

[@bafmey]

I almost cryed every time the bentley landed after a jump

[@wonderland.6]

reminds me of “samir you’re breaking the car!!”😂😂😂

[@HackingDutchman]

Bentley, they just make very good and nice looking quality cars!

[@ireaddekker]

A high quality rally car, indeed.

[@TheMr1RAD]

Excellent publicity for the Bentley brand. Thumbs up!!!

[@JustinJehle]

Jesus! Ha ha. That was the best ad for Bentley ever!

[@n_9_70]

never thought id be seeing a bentley in a rally race, one of the things that made top gear one of my favorite shows back then

[@stephenprice2597]

that guy is an amazing driver

[@ivanlim9459]

bentley for rally 🤔🤔 that car for wedding i think

[@xLonexShogun]

Beautiful This is why i love this car! Elegant but refined!

[@krasp28]

Being a rally co driver must take a strong stomach. I get carsick trying to read a book as a passenger on the motorway. haha

[@parquito4395]

krasp28 same

[@djinglouriousb]

Because they can.... i loved this clip...

[@tee4754]

the drifts were freking cool

[@TurnerSultan]

Best show ever. Hope it never ends ;)

[@Techformative557]

Bentley - Fine hand crafted luxury, the best materials in the world without compromise Also Bentley - This

[@elouanp4588]

The W12 have the noblest sound ever

[@zenithnardin]

amazing handling of this beautiful car.

[@janwarter]

getting air in a bentley is like taking a dump without toilet paper :P

[@sagargupta4257]

James!! Ypu went rallying in a bentley!! Now that's KISMET!!

[@garyzhang5099]

That’s epic. I always wondering what’s the feeling of driving my house on the rally race track. No offense, Bentley is a great car, and I personally like it.

[@AlexArdeleanu]

A verry dam,good rally driver and a Bentley 4x4wd,powered VW engine 12 cilynders 625 Hp (also 2013.Bugatti Veyron Sport 1200 hp,is powered by Vw,too) Thumbs up to the team,and factory who built this awesome car!!!

[@shawn4398]

U guys are crazy this takes skill, to drive that car on that track. He gets mad respect from me none of you guys talking trash about this could do it.

[@somerando1067]

Considering that all wrc cars are hatchbacks, stripped of any interior, that weigh a tonne and a half less than the bentley, it did amazing

[@FatalityDiablo]

I can't believe he was going 142mph or so, that is approx~ 240kmh, wtf?! May must have had seizures like crazy if thats real

[@matthewturner9735]

yeah that is real. in his Citroën Wrc car he can go even quicker

[@sander8259]

matthew turner i thought that Wrc cars only could do 190kmph?

[@domagojelka]

not so sure they went 140 mph (225 km h) on hard gravel and regular road tyres, that's quick for todays WRC beasts

[@nashgill1062]

It’s kmh not mph

[@CrookedRaisins]

Unreal. top gear is the best. i will be 127 and ill still be watching it.

[@elminz]

I thought he'd be taking it quickly, but that was crazy fast for a car like that. It's so damn heavy in comparison, it must be a completely different beast to drive.

[@TheMiniatureScenes]

That is one hell of a budget!!

[@mrderekholmberg]

OMGoodness - that was bloody awesome!

[@Kmancanada]

Intense! Outstanding videography

[@blackhawk0606]

It deserves at least HD 720p !

[@BlodgettPictures]

I didn't know the Queen had such snazzy dance moves!

[@MrSweating]

James almost crapped his pants ! 😂

[@paulcurran5117]

That was breath taking! What a machine! What a driver! James, although almost useless, was braver than me as I wouldn't have wanted to sit there and watch that happening in 'full reality vision!'

[@SchmichaelSchmeery]

Awesome. Can't wait to be able to drive them next month :)
