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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I remember this episode coming put, I was 9 years old and started jumping about the living room when I saw the stig walk into the pit to take part.

Gosh I miss this show with these 3... best show I’ll ever watch in my life. Grand tour is okay, but this was truly special.

One of the best episodes. Shame it doesn't show Jeremy crying after they finish, that was one of the best moments in Top Gear ever. Epic trio and I really look forward to the specials of the Grand Tour they are going to do.

Started: 59th (last, because although they qualified 42nd James managed to damage the clutch, inlet manifold, turbo, and the flywheel, which resulted starting in the pit lane due to the repairs on the car) Finished: 39th and 3rd in class

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!

It's like V8 Supercars. Only a lot slower. And with a tiny budget in comparison to (now) Red Bull HRT.

This episode is why I bought my BMW - Not a 330, but honestly this episode had to be my favourite ever of TG. Everytime it’s dark in my car the orange cabin lights remind me of this very video.

It's hard to believe for me now, that 12 years later I do own E46 330d, black saloon facelifted with m tech package by myself. What a coincidence. What's more. I have the same birth day as The Stig! (Ben Collins) :D
