Watched this yesterday, most enjoyable.

I've nothing against driving a car very hard, but surely this is a bit OTT?
He could show what the car can do without burning so much rubber - maybe I'm just a bit tight and don't enjoy seeing tyres deliberately wasted lol !!

Nevertheless, it's a spectacular car.

tyres were the least of the expenses

Maybe, I suppose it's a matter of opinion - but to me when supercars are demonstrated to show what they can do there is too much rubber burning just for the sake of it - it's not clever and doesn't make the car corner faster, it's just for the cameras. In a race, whatever class of car - sideways is definitely not the fastest way round a corner!

missing the point again ^^

this car was built specifically to drift / do gymkhana

and chris harris just uses clips from the main ken block video

the 'point' of the car was solely for the cameras

gymkhana 5 was my personal fave

[jusdorange]

even if it was a regular supercar

chris harris himself has been outspoken about this;

these videos aren't free to produce

the ones where you drive cars sideways get more views, more views = more cash to continue producing videos

if you had a very deadpan video, no traction control off, you'd soon run out of cash

Which is probably the only reason fifth gear employ Tiff Needell! It's certainly not for his personality!!

Tiff's entertaining if a little hard on the cars at times - remember him trashing some Nobles at Silverstone (and he likes a sherbet or two). I've filmed him (and Vicki) on a few corporates - both a pleasure to work with. Lovely people.
