Abbie Eaton reveals who's the best driver out of Clarkson, Hammond & May 

Would be impressive if he could go upside down and actually walk away under his own power

In fairness it's not the going that's the skill, it's the transitioning back to straight ahead. And right side up. And not on fire....

KC I honestly lol at your comment 😂

He’s also pretty good at rolling.

Dont forget may: he possibly can't go upside down but surely he can go down a hill... backwards #captainslow

Lol

Yeah, he says it himself

Lol really powwweeer himself

When the alternatives are capt. Slow and hamster . . .

@@justynmychael8716 but I thought hamsters are speedy

So accurate

James going down hill at first gear, Jeremy goes at top gear, Richard goes downhill: sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, ground)

@@user-rj7ws7pk9h thanks for making me laugh, cheers

James May is buffeting

Sir Crashalot is certainly consistant

The Stig was kind of like Chewbacca. The charm came from the fact that he didn't talk and through your imagination you filled in the blanks. When the show was reinvented and they introduced the American, it was almost like how the prequels got Jar Jar. The guy talked, which took away all charm from the character.

Yeah, "The American" was a bad move. Glad they swapped him out with a real driver and not another character.

Because she’s a Hull lass mate

@@CG-vn8iy the thing is they got the American specifically to be like that though. The stig was silent so they got a loud mouth to be the exact opposite.

@@CG-vn8iy in my opinion his character and bit was dislikeable but he was the better driver of the two by far (that also has to do with experience ofc). Man used to send it down that track, I felt Abbie was way slower around places like Old Lady’s house. Both talented though.

+1? what are you, some imgurtard?

He's right, though. They have proper uploading etiquette. That's complete watch and like worthy.

TamiyaGuy:-I am struggling to avoid being blunt and stating the obvious but...It's an 'editing' technique.

@@matthewdavidjarvis6039 People don't realise that the actual editing technique is used to make it appear that the lady in the tattoo parlour is so resolute and succinct .

@@waynesimpson2074 I doubt it's purely editing, though. If you watched the series, she consistently shows the same demeanor, even though she barely speaks. Maybe she's just solid overall.

Some say...

Series not season

So the stig has stopped?

The stig is so fast he's drafting himself!

Does that mean he's not coming on then?

Just because you drive slow doesnt mean you drive bad. I agree on Hammond not being the best though :D

Technically, both May and Hammond have driven faster than Clarkson, however briefly.

@@Jahu-qs2us There's slow and consistent, like Kimi Raikonnen generally is, and then there's just plain slow. The consistent kind allows you to exploit any and all mistakes your opponents make and doesn't put too much strain on the tires or engine. May is just slow as all balls

Captain Slow

Captain Slow, show some respect.

If she had been from up north, she would have been asked to say purple burglar alarm.

Well, we've all seen the show. They're the very definition of boys.

She comes across as a thoroughly likable person, obviously quite witty and humble like you said.

@Top Lobster She has a girlfriend.

It's like the old saying "boys will be boys" 50 year old boys, doesn't matter.

Ironic considering she’s a third of their age.

No.... She's not faster than the Stig... She IS the Stig!

One simply cannot beat the stig.

FX-Atarien that aint the stig

Schumacher was the stig.

What about the stog?

HE! He would stay.

@Axiom Steel26 observe HIS neck. Face structure & compare it with biological Man

@@davidich3537 go away strange little man and let us watch the shouty car show in peace

Because she’s a Hull lassy mate

@@davidich3537 Watched Daniel Ricciardo, who also has a massive neck, said it has to be big, to withstand all the Gs you get while driving fast, professionally, on a regular basis. This doesn’t make her look any less prettier, don’t be silly.

he probably has a higher top speed than most f1 drivers tbh :D

Yeah its ,267 mph . Thanks to buggatti .

Actually that'll be hammond in the jet car. 317mph

Kyle Smallberg that’s irrelevant lol. Captain *Slow* has a higher top speed driven than a racing driver..

Eli Wagner 253 MPH is the fastest I’ve ever seen May. All be it a only for a few seconds, but that puts him way up there.

Raiyan Zaman they can’t. You cant speak while getting your teeth bleached.

😂 hamster will screaaaaaammmmmmmmm

Or at the hair salon

Gh-gh-ghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa, my tooth

"I did not have my teeth whitened!"

Mike Skinner is quite a talented driver, and I thought his segment was comical, but I do like Abbie more. She’s a better fit for the show.

They deffintly took suggesting making season 3 so much better then the first 2

To be fair, it was probably just a 'bit' that Jeremy wanted. I suspect he probably isn't that ridiculous in real life. Though Abbie definitely seems to drive better.

If you listen to interviews Mike Skinner gave after he was let go, he makes it pretty clear that he was playing a character. If you consider the timing, it makes sense that the racing driver for Grand Tour, would be the opposite of The Stig, who was silent, and unidentifiable. Ever wondered why they chose the name Grand Tour? GT-TG Top Gear.......

Bear in mind that every word Mike Skinner said was scripted by Clarkson, and his hatred of America and Americans couldn't be conveniently hidden.

POWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

@@urosmarjanovic663 STEEEEEEERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Amazar Offical that's not how it goes

Speed and power

*SOMETIMES MY GENIUS IS.....ALMOST FRIGHTENING*

Yes. With all his un natural plastic transformations into a "sweet" "woman"

Biker Gremling have a feeling that was the intent with that part to see how she did with a travel challenge. Shame they didn’t use her audio from in car nor have her gloat at the end.

Yeah when they first brought Abbie out, I thought it was some random intern. Then I realized who she was. It was a great moment

@@Finallybianca It was the first time they did this on the show and played it conservatively. I'm sure they will work it out better if they go forwards with the idea.

There is no next season, did you not see the last episode of season 3?

@@____stu____ Season 3 was the last with the tent. Now on it's going to be travel special after travel special.

hahaha 'tuuust' i was uh... is she trying to say toast?!

I honestly thought the word was tourist.

He's still mad at the boys for leaving him with the BBC

@@roy04 Id be mad at anyone who left me with Chris Evans.

@@celt67 I'd be mad at being left with the current pillocks on top gear, let alone Chris Evans

@@QYXP current top gear aint half bad. Sure it isnt as legendary as old top gear but its alright.

That's funny, I just watched an interview with him yesterday. He actually had quite a lot to say!

"He who is last, shall be first." It all makes sense.

Hammond has had two big crashes and that probably has taken some edge out of his driving.

In order to finish first, you first have to finish. Agreed.

Captain Slow would be more fun to be honest

Clarkson is obviously the best driver of the 3 of them. You can see that from the films.

fingers crossed. Or, I would be happy with a more active roll in drivetribe.

Come on ya goofs. They need a pro driver all the time for different challenges and things. Shiell have work, just not as much. Which is fine, because she'll be racing somewhere else.

3v1 races. Those intercontinental ones they do, but instead, one of the 3 have to beat her to the destination. That'd be fun.

She's racing a full season in Australian Supercars next year, so probably only when they visit Australia, depending on the shooting schedule.

I was positively surprised when I saw her as the test driver in the season 2. I bet feminists were disappointed, because they expected men to bash a female driver. But it didn't happen. Male population supported her. It's usually women who bash women.

I mean let's be honest, I don't think there's anyone on the planet who has even a slight interest in cars who wouldn't have been inspired by Schumacher.

This is a argument that has been raging since engine's had a wheel strapped on each corner. But of all the drivers I've seen or heard of there is just one who inspired me. Ayrton Senna. I know there will be so many for or against, but I want to say that Ayrton inspired me. Same as Nigel or Lewis or Alain or Keke or Jimmy or Niki or James. Or a driver that drove beyond what was normal on a forgotten track on a sunny day on a long forgotten weekend. IT DOESN'T MATTER. That person inspired you. Each and every driver risks life and limb every time they step into a cockpit and the engine growls in anger. They are all heroes in their way. It's just a handful of drivers rise to the top consistently. Schumacher, Hamilton, Senna, Prost etc. I am not a fan of Senna for obvious reasons, and that's my opinion. It counts for nothing. Hill, Villeneuve and Schumacher knows what happened.

For me the most important first mod is better tyres. Brakes next for sure.

@@Snaily people who were inspired befor ehe was a racer prob where XD those who inspired schumacher prob are not inspried by schumacher

I prefer Ayrton Senna over those two guys because he's our national hero and also he's so much more attractive looking

she's not on his level.

That would be fabulous. In fact hardcore TG fans will remember Tiff Needell (Fifth Gear) was featured on an episode of post-2002 TG once. Having presenters on competing shows would be very interesting.

maybe versus the american?? lol

her vs schmidt would make sense

I doubt they could get the current the stig but they could deffintly have her race ben collins the former stig and that would be awesome

@0 0 Stole my comment haha.

You are also beautiful, wanna wheelie with me?

I knew comment on pretty girl will fill with this kind of things... Hahaha

The facts!!! I hope she stays too. 😂

@@Sirinwara what?? is she??

Yes. She stood up when Clarkson & co were accused of homophobia and tweeted something like "they hide it pretty well given that they employ a lesbian driver" or something along those lines.

@@autohut3720 lots of girls like men things, but still aren't lesbos

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I agree with the rest mate.

Too bad she doesn’t think you’re beautiful at all

@@iggynor5007 beauty is in the eye of the beer holder

And with that said, he may need his eyes checked. Cheers mate!

You're not getting laid mate

EVERYONE!!!

I so figured Hammond would be. Huh.

Well James is more standing than driving and Hammond crashes every second car he drives^^

Really?! I’m not surprised. Jeremy always beats them on all the track challenges, Hammond crashes and James gets lost but very slowly.

@@daniel6323 Honestly Jeremy has crashed just as much as Hammond has, Hammond has just been unlucky and gotten in worse crashes.

CLARKSOOOOONNNNN

Clarkson is to dumb to be afraid, so he always has the confidence boost.

The speeed!!

@@SoulTouchMusic93 He's like a friend of mine: Too dumb to know danger when he sees it, but too lucky to learn from his mistakes

Schumacher isn't The Stig.

That was just a joke they did on an episode of TG where they revealed him to be The Stig. He would have been a bit expensive to hire full time.

He wasn’t actually the stig

problem is which stig

Race car drivers don't actually care what they drive or how much power the car has. They do it for the thrill of driving them fast and competing with each other. I wish the public would learn that instead of bragging about how their car has over 1k bhp and is undriveable.

@Antonio Farina The Kia Stinger is a fun car, and so is the Hyundai Veloster, based on what I've heard. The Veloster is just meant for fun, not speed, but the Stinger GT is pretty damn quick. I don't know about Skoda, but you can have fun in pretty much any car

@@eurosonly There are some cars that are just objectively boring. For example, I drove a new VW Jetta a few months ago. No engine sound, no feedback from the steering, brakes, or gas, and the car didn't seem to know when to keep the engine on. I literally had it shut itself off 3 times while I was getting onto the freeway because I took my foot off the gas to let other cars by. This was a 2019 Jetta with about 30k miles on it. You'd have to pay me to drive that thing again. My FC convertible, on the other hand, I could drive for the rest of my life. The top is leaking, the shifter bushings are fucked, the headers are dented, and the trunk stopped opening today, but she is endless fun

@@filmandfirearms, that is love for a car!

@@TheJademan85 Obviously, I wouldn't like to drive her the rest of my life without fixing the issues, but I can live with it

Ballsiest is a nice way of putting it.

As in "Well, he's ballsed that up...."?

Curl up in a ball after the fireball.

@@williamhardes8081nah... just not pathetic

@@williamhardes8081 hahahahaha you nailed it with this reply

If you want her to have more air time, she should drive in the WRC.

Someone pass? How old do you think these guys are? My neighbor just passed. He was 86! These 3 have quite a way to go. The oldest is Clarkson at only 61.

I sure hope so. I would love to see more races between her and the guys

Might be a problem on the keypad... AE is for Accident & Emergency for Hammond

Like to see her race against the stig

@@hadarraz33 Which one? There have been quite a lot... :-)

Uhh....brake(s).

Ok but hear me out, if I crash because I forgot which pedal was the breaks.............

As an American, I have immense respect for V8 supercars. I feel like it's what NASCAR should be, rather than just driving in circles for hours on end in cars that have precisely 0 unique features, mechanically or visually. In V8 supercars, yeah the engines are pretty tightly regulated, but you've still got a million different suspension and gearing settings you could run on any track. I don't know if I'd agree that Bathurst is the best track in the world, but it's definitely up there. Personally, I prefer Baku, but I can see where you're coming from. There are definitely a shortage of car girls, though, but I think there's more out there than we might realize, mainly due to those dumbasses who refuse to accept that a woman could possibly like cars. I recently got into an argument with one, in fact. He was claiming that any woman who calls herself a car girl is automatically a gold digger. Pretty sure most women wouldn't like being accused of that just for liking what they like, and he isn't alone, so I think there are a lot of car girls out there that just don't want to be open about it

Not just a silent thing

I rather have an old set of tires so I can waste them without guild. I agree with her on the brakes. Once, I overheated my brakes so bad (Golf GTI) that it slmost was as having no brakes. And this was on open road, not even racing track.

@@robertvandeneijk1284 I'd go with tires first too (If the ones that come with the car are worn, old, for the wrong surface or bad), the best brakes won't help you if your tires loose traction. Unless you want to do some drifting on a flat (safe) surface, where your brakes won't overheat either.

@@nirfz I guess it depends what you want to do. If lap times is a thing, of course tires will have a major impact. With better tires you even have to brake less. But I'm just looking for the fun factor. And I know from experience I have more fun with a car when I know the tires will be replaced next week anyway. That's the direction I'm thinking. I don't mind a little less grip. I love pushing the limits of a car in snow and rain too (even on summer tires).

@@robertvandeneijk1284 I don't mind if you take your tires to their end before replacing them in a safe envirement, but my point is: Bigger Brakes are vital for driving spirited, but good tires are vital for driving! 2 Examples: 1) Long ago i bought a set of summer tires, i had never heard before. (only once in my life). They got loud after one season and as i was about to learn, started to dislike wet weather. When i turned left at a crossing in the city, hoping to get through before the lights switched, the rear of the car suddenly tried to overtake. It didn't help that the automatic gearbox changed down exactely at the moment the weight of the car shifted to the right. As there was no clutch, i had to "ride out" the drift and managed to neither hit the byciclist on my left nor the pedestrians on the right (waiting to cross the street). Luckily i had the right reflexes and my seating position was good. But afterwards i headed home very cautious and quite slow. 2) In my >20 years of driving i had to do a fair number of emergency brakings (on Autobahns, in the city; on snow, ice, in the dry, in the wet...). Most cars have adequate brakes for that (they can cope with one such braking at a time). Imagine you have to do such an action because a child runs into the street. Could you psychologically handle it, when you hit the child because of your choice to use bad/wrong/old/wornout tires?

I always tell people is Maintance. Before you mod make sure all your engine is healthy to build on.

That's the best you can have. This was her last job interview. This man has his brain directly connected to his tongue with no filters. When he wants to joke with you he does it. When hates you he tells you. Plain and simple. If you can't deal with it better find another job.
