Rallycross on a Budget Part 1 | Series 18 | Top Gear | BBC

[@KidThomsonMediaProductions]

This was the most wholesome top gear episode ever, they were all actually really supportive of each other

[@Costelad]

Even the chat with the other drivers before they started was wholesome. Love to see it.

This is like the only episode in which they are nice to each other :DDDD

[@appelpower1]

That's very true. It's actually quite logical; when you're trying to prove rallycross is better and cheaper than golf, you're not going about making fun of each other.

[@pkshd]

They also did that 24 hour race where they were nice to each other for over 24 hours.

[@appelpower1]

pkshd I guess that was also because of medical, physical and mental constraints; if you're going to concentrate for that long, you'll have to save your energy.

Because you can not sell a British (left hand drive) car to a poor (ex Romania, Hungary, Russia) country like you can sell a German car and selling it for 500£ is better for you than trashing it for 100£

[@zeonace101]

+warmfreeze has a lot to do with the market being inflated. if everyone thinks a honda CRZ is worth $5000 then that will become the new standard. It's one thing I hate about the US is the fact that everyone over values there car. and no im not joking go and look. you will find CRX's going for $5000 for no good reason other then "its a cool tuner car"

Like Hammond said at the end, how can anyone feel BETTER than when you drive off the circuit (in one piece or thereabouts) after a rally cross round. I raced in the then 1300 class with a Mk1 Escort for several years, and almost nothing matches it for the pure adrenalin rush you get from taking part in the sport. High speed tarmac and usually even higher speed off road speeds make for a fantastic challenge to anyones driving skills.
