Default Top Gear

So my son downloaded the Feb 23 broadcast from England of Top Gear and guess what he says that Richard Hammond took delivery of a 2014 GT3 and of course they had it on the show. He could not drive it and they had a fireman staying right next to it. Jeremy was giving him a load of crap about it and as a gift gave him oven mitts with the Porsche shield on them. I need to watch it it is episode 4 of season 21.

I heard the Porsche Carbon Ceramic Gloves (PCCG) are the way to go. Lighter and can handle the heat better

I can see the rumor now: fire danger has now spread to include the GT2 RS.

I've watched the episode. Yeah...it's funny,but I would've preferred a bit about the car. Talk about day to day usability and how it handles on their track. And of course,have Stig post a lap time to see how it does against other cars on the board.
Of course they couldn't do it now,but they usually shoot their episodes the year before and could've done it then.
