Explosions, flamethrowers, and blokes doing burnouts in expensive cars.
I rekon Clarkson planned the whole show, i can just imagine him saying to the producers "we need more explosions, more toxic fumes, the people in the first 5 rows need to have theyre eyebros burnt off theyre face!!"
lol yep my favourite moment...
Clarkson: "And now, Gratuitous drifting!"
Promptly, three guys in Ferrari 360 Modena's come out and smoke rubber doing circle work, all the while massive flames shoot from around the stage and heavy metal rock gets blasted through the sound system. I believe it to be the most fucking awesome thing i have ever seen.
I'm quite sure they weren't real 360s!!
They didn't sound right and looked a little wrong... Did anyone else notice it??
Why else would they have the engine glass blacked out?? And I'm sure i heard turbo whistle at one point...
Fibreglass replicas with RB26s anyone??
I didn't think about it that much, but I assume that they would be real 360's: after all they did have lambos, porsches, W427's, V8 Brutes and other expensive metal, also I reckon that building a replica would be a pretty pointless venture as it would be as or more more expensive than buying a second hand 360 and a lot more trouble. If it was three enzo's or something i'd be a bit more doubtful, but 360's aren't really that hard to come by.
I could be wrong though, doesn't really matter cause it was kick-ass regardless lol.
They seem to have some sponsorship-type arrangements with several car companies - and I tend to agree with bj in that there's really no reason why they'd go to all the trouble of building fake 360s.
Sort of on the topic of sponsorships, did all the lame car ads at the beginning of the show annoy anyone else?
It gives me the absolute screaming shits when I pay money (another reason I'm glad my tickets were free) for something like this (cinemas are the worst offenders) and they have the stones to show f'ing COMMERCIALS. Ads are supposed to pay for free to air stations to operate, not to line the pockets of the people who put on an already expensive event. I can't believe people put up with it.
Because race car.
the ads werent to bad ... meh i rather be watching those ads then other dumb shit ads going on tv ..
hey anyboady saw the friday night one ..JESUS was even there
hehehehe .. it was a good show .. only real thing i could pick at it is i think they could of done it without that TGA guy ...
yeh i'm with Beck on the ads business... The first one amused me but by the end of the fourth or fifth i was a bit irritated. Having said that, the Shell/Ferrari F1 ad is up there with the best ads of all time for me. Brings a tear to my eye every time *sniffle*
I knew it and I told you all soo!!!
Follow link - Fake Ferrarris. There are plenty of reason for a fake Ferrari, but the main is cost. There was no way they would endanger something so expensive when a repiica is way cheaper to build and wreck. Didn't anyone else wonder why they seemed to be the only exotic car doin anything cool??? And it seems no one else noticed the subtile things wrong ie engine noise and body details..

I FUCKEN KNEW IT
also, they had HID's instead of propper xenon's
and 1 of the fazza's had its headlighst on.... but no tail lights..... ?
sounded turbo too
Well that's a bit of a letdown. I thought TG would've been ballsy enough to risk damaging real exotic cars.
I wonder what will happen to the Fauxraris now?
