I was at Monaco in 73 for the race and those Cosworths were screaming. That was the best race I have ever attended. That was living back then. The F1 Lotus is so cool.

No. Most of the things they mock him for being "boring" and "technical" about are actually extremely fascinating, and any real car person would be thrilled to spend an hour or so talking about it. One of the biggest annoyances of the show, in my opinion, is the way they act as if "real car people" just like their cars to be fun, exciting toys that they don't actually understand. People like that are not car people, they are cocks and idiots.

@sebastiaanvandeweerd4290 6 лет назад

James may knows the Monaco grand prix. But even at top gear they work with Skripts, and they think it is funny to pretend that some times James and Richard don't know any thing about F1. But that is all just scripted. Fact is that it was a good program right until they left and came with the grand tour on amazon, which is also good.

@@grendelum I'm probably going to get beans for saying this, but no, don't pay someone off, hold Clarkson accountable for his boorish behaviour. No one called him on his racism or sexism, so he probably thought he could get away with assault...in a way he did, though, because no one pressed charges. He's not so important that he can throw a tantrum about something so petty as not getting a hot meal. I miss the show too - I wish Clarkson had just grown up a bit.

Still stuns me to this day. I can only imagine how incredible it was to have seen it actually racing in F1 in the 1970s, especially in person. It's also interesting - unsurprising now (purpose-built for it generally, much lighter, better aerodynamics etc.) though shocking as a child - how much faster the old thing was than any of the saloon cars round the track.
