Today I was at Litchfield getting some work done on the M4 and got chatting to the other customer in getting work done, and it turns out he's one of the camera men/drone operator for the grand tour and top gear!

Absolutely fascinating stories and inside knowledge shared!

The M5 segment this week used 34 sets of tyres!!!!

And the X19 actually let go during the trip and you can see when it happened as the smoke starts coming out of it.

Was my chance to ask all the questions about how they produce it... any time they do races they are actually the real results, but they tend to rerun it and then reshoot as required to tell the actual story.

And most of the driving you see on camera that looks good are the pro drivers.
