24 Hour Racing Challenge! | Top Gear

Jeremy, Richard and James have entered a 24-hour endurance race. It turns out to be one of their toughest challenges to date as thick fog and a car that starts to fall apart hamper their efforts. However, they do have The Stig to help. Clip taken from series 10, episode 9.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

In his book "The man in the White suit" former Stig Ben Collins explained all the logistics that went into the preparation of this. Collins had to teach Clarkson and May how to get the endurance going needed for a race like this. Seeing as how neither of them is exactly in peak physical condition. He also mentioned how of the three, Hammond was the most capable racing driver. When it was brought to Collins that they were going to do this, he made good use of his Endorsements with Alpinestars and Sparco racing gear, to fully kit the presenters out. Clarkson Hammond and May wore the brands' latest suits which were identical to the Stig suit save for the color. He said that it was by far the most glorious of all the shoots he did for Top Gear, the team was like a well oiled machine and everybody had the camaraderie going. But he also mentioned how this race basically was the end for The Stig because he had to register for the race in his own name and was on the list of drivers for everybody to see. So when people went "Collins, who's that, I only know of Clarkson, Hammond and May..." and then to see the Stig taking the wheel it was very easy to put two and two together.

[@good_roads]

Thx for that

[@MarksTournaments]

But Jeremy was wearing OMP gear

[@Ward1706]

Bear in mind, Hammond actually had a racing license at the time.

[@douglasfree1389]

Surprising that he couldn't enter under a nom de course.

[@RBenjo21]

That's all well and good but bear in mind Hammond had never driven Silverstone (I don't know why the BBC didn't get a PlayStation or something so he could learn the track) and was the cause of the incident with the Mosler. Every team's lap times are available from that race. Clarkson was faster than Hammond, if I remember rightly.

[@Troubleshooter125]

I love this race, but whoever edited this missed two great moments at the end: 1) Jeremy madly going on and shedding tears ("YOU BRILLIANT LITTLE CAR!") 2) A brief shot of Hammond smiling the widest, best, happiest smile ever To me, those two things show us the real people we're looking at and maybe when all is said and done, why it is we all love Top Gear so much.

[@garctown]

[@joshuanorris5860]

Always a shame when they cut out too much!! I noticed the same thing with a bunchh of topgear on youtube :(

[@dclore]

I think they missed most of the race never mind the two moments you mentioned!

[@GarthKlaus]

The ending was a pure expression of joy and victory and every emotion balled into one. Its the best part of the entire race and the idiot who edited this should be flogged.

Endurance racing is so stupid yet so good. Put a bunch of sleep deprived drivers on a track trying to go as fast as they can. Amazing

[@devonesq.7533]

anyone can do well at their peak, but to do well for 24 hours while sleeping in a plastic chair? that shows your true skills as a driver.

[@questionablecaptainera]

There is also the machine. Most of the time a car will be configured to last long but rarely touch it's limit or peaking out all the time but for a short burst. Endurance race ignore those, they need to get as close as possible to the car's limit but last as long as possible.

I think this is honestly one of their best episodes. It has all the heart of one of their cheap car specials, but the lack of an exotic location and the sheer brutality on the presenters makes this quite a special part of top gear to me.

I've watched Top gear since I was about 6, on a thursday night at 8.30 on bbc2, I was allowed to stay up until 9 so I could watch. I'm now 28, so for the last 22 years I have grown up with it. These days the program gets a lot of stick some of it rightly for being just the presenters fecking about trying to be funny. I think they should show how good they can be sometimes, not just pretending to be "ambitious but rubbish". This episode and Rallycross on a budget are my two favourite episodes. The Chaps actually like cars and motorsport, the whole trio of bumbling old men stuff is just an act, when its time to get serious they very much do, look at them. I'd love to see more of this type of episode, real racing, real enthusiasm and no bullshit.

[@guitarslf132]

Yes it still makes me sad, so much rubbish and stupid nonsense when they should just be showing their true love for cars

[@WardyLion]

Shame they cut Clarkson calling the BMW “you brilliant little car” before shedding a few tears. It’s a real testament to the team that they took a car with little to no soul and gave it all the soul in the world.

[@jashargubetini6724]

Only few, mostly British people will think that way. The team did indeed did great job but saying that BMW is soulless it's a bad joke.

The personality and sole in every BMW is clear as day to me, if you do not see it, it is your loss. Stay away from the brand. Together with Alfa Romeo, they come jam packed with soul and character.

[@christosstamato527]

Idk what you people are on but BMWs DO have soul! I literally grew up in a 1971 BMW 1602, I know, not the greatest car ever, but even that little car had soul. It did its job for over 40 years, was gorgeous with an one hell of an interior (imo) and it was hard when it was time to say goodbye to it. And is the sole reason I got into cars and then started watching Top Gear/ the e blokes above! All cars have "Heart And Soul" (like that Huey Lewis & The News song) guys. From that Yaris/Prius that every neighbourhood seems to have, to Doc Brown's DeLorean, Hasselhof's Trans Am etc.

To finish 3rd in Class with no prior endurance racing experience, in a second-hand ex-road car...is just amazing.

I didn't cry at the end like Clarkson, but i was tremendously engaged during the whole thing. Loved it. May i just say what a brilliant job the editors of TG do, especially on this one. The moment when Richard crashed was done so well, not much was said, but we understood everything. Brilliant episode.

And it's quite amazing to see how so many automotive youtubers now replicate TG challenges, whether it's buying cheap cars and doing certain challenges with it, filling up a car and hypermiling them or buying crappy cars, upgrade them on a budget and go racing with them. Top Gear truly paved the way for so many people and so much content for us to enjoy. And that's why, Clarkson, Hammond and May would always, always be the "Holy Trinity" of the automotive world.

I love these types of series. Seems very similar to AER (American Endurance Racing) here in the states. Broken up into a class system based primarily on Power to Weight ratio and no I don’t understand why they did that either. It’s fun because of the duality of it. You have all the way from former dirt track racers with a crappy little Dodge Neon with the doors welded shut, which completely pisses off everyone because they’re always the fastest in their class for no adequate reason. All the way up to professional M4 GT4 cars, Wide body LS swapped E46 BMWs and everything in between. Basically if you have a car, you know how to build race cars and drive them, have a racing license and a few hundred dollars, you can enter.

This was such a good God damn episode. I really like watching them do some serious racing. Since you already have a feeling of companionship from all the years of watching them supporting them just feels so wholesome. And it doesn't even matter when they finish, as long as they finish there's a feeling of pride for the team. I'll miss them dearly whenever they feel it's right to retire. Or whenever they pass, whichever comes first. I've more respect for these 3 middle aged idiots than I do my own politicians.

That M57 is a bloody reliable engine! Yes it only had 45k miles on it, but that car was probably treated horribly when it had a previous owner, and was most likely never serviced, so the components around the engine failed catastrophically just after a few laps. The engine may have even been worn when they bought it. But I'm surprised the factory engine lasted for such a long time being driven this hard, and that it seized up after the crash, and with some incredibly rushed repair jobs it managed to turn over, getting the stig 8 places up at night! BMW may have made some terrible engines such as the N47, N20, N63 and the prince engine collab with PSA, while a lot of decent engines were plagued with weak auxiliary parts such as the N54 and the M57 as shown here, but the performance of this most likely neglected M57 shows how BMW is also incredible at making motors with bulletproof durability and longevity, up to the likes of Honda and Toyota!
