Timeless comment. James has a point there. In my opinion, I don't think Hammond should have had 1 point for that challenge. He didn't get very far and he rolled his van over after one turn. I think really, he should have had minus exactly what he already had. In that challenge, I don't think it said in the envelope you get points for crashing after just one turn.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Crashing wasn’t mentioned. But to be fair Hamster was only just building his crash tally.

It also gave him whiplashes even to this day

[@zaffirahmed]

It's actually quite easy to roll the Suzuki Carry...... everyone has one here in Pakistan and it was produced and sold in Suzuki showrooms upto 2022..... It was very very easy to flip built is great fun to drive

[@Owiko7]

I really wonder what Hammond could have gotten if his van hadn't rolled over xD

[@Septimus_ii]

With enough practice learning the handling characteristics, it should have easily beaten the other two, but still been caught fairly easily

[@HRHooChicken]

His van was the fastest, so he likely would have won the race giving him 3 points instead of 1. Jeremy Would've gotten 2 instead of 3. Hammond would still have won

[@lewisburt3176]

Probably finished while officer Stig was at the hammerhead

[@Jeff-ln7ie]

I have simulated over 100,000 different possible outcomes and in conclusion it was inevitable that Hammond was going to roll the van no matter what.

[@andregon4366]

Another crash probably.

If they were a real courier company: Jeremy would buy the van, James would drive it, and Richard would repair it.

I don't think someone wants to wait 3 months for their furnishings to arrive at their new home.

[@mattevans4377]

@@ReroutedYearAD I can't think of any way it wouldn't take that long. If James bought and Jeremy drove, the van would be so slow, it'd still take 3 months to make a journey. I suppose another way might be Richard buys, Jeremy drives, and James repairs, but the van would be too small to be of use, and if it broke, it'd be decades before it was repaired.

@@mattevans4377 yes, but if Jeremy drove he'd floor it until the engine blew. That leaves crash prone Richard.
