+Dan Krekmanski well, considering that guy in a suit is one of Germany's better known satirists, it should be no wonder. We Germans might not have that black humor the Brits are said to have, but we do have some rather cynical and funny people.
I was thinking the same thing. On top of that there's also the 24 hour racing challenge and the fact that the Stig was faster than most F1 drivers in the 'reasonable priced car'. Whoever it really was, was bloody frickin skilled.
+AIM_SideWinder in The Shawshank Redemption that's how Tim Robbins' character disposed of the rubble from breaking out of his jail cell. He rigged his pants' pockets so that he could dump it out like that while out in the prison yard.
Hammond: James! What are you doing!? May: Shooting at Jeremy! Hammond: But he's on our side! May: Yeah, but why wouldn't you? Hammond: You're right, you would, FIRE!!!
Having a stig always helps. Really love it when they bring the Stig out to clutch an event like that. My favorite was the 24 hour endurance race where the Stig blitzed the scoreboard anytime they lost ground lol.
Yeah and to avoid Identifying him apparently 50% if the competitors were asked to write Stig so no one could narrow down who it was. I do believe this Stig was Ben Collins
electrictroy2010 i seen that. It was a comedic joke, fictional, a fairytale, a farse, a dream, a imagination. A tasteless humor script that james may had to be behind. Stig doesnt lose. Even the episode when jeremy "beat" stig in the lotus vs the mustang stig was in 2nd gear the whole time and still won but they cut the film.
0:52 interesting, you can see the Bernoulli principle in effect here. The faster the flow of air, the lower it’s pressure creating a vacuum which pulls the white foam towards the car
Sabine, thank you for bringing us an amazing laugh and smiles through your career. You are a warrior. Thank you for making me and Jeremy laugh, but I bet we can both say that this race is for you Sabine, you win ❤️. Rest in the heavens above and look after us in the ring🕊
Oh man, I heard about her condition, but I haven't heard it finally overtaken her... Rest in peace, Sabine. Your legacy as the queen of the Nurbergring and many others will live on~
Some say he pees out the window just to annoy the neighbours. And that he has a pet chihuahua called Rover. All we know... He's called the STIG! Love these guys.
@@thewidow7864 who was never the stig. He was on because Ferrari would only let their drivers test the fxx on the track so he had to be there anyway to do the lap, they came clean about it very soon after the ep came out (Ben Collins was the stig at the time of that ep with the ‘reveal’)
ugh that Aston Martin Race Car is a thing of beauty and that racing gear shifter is a thing a amazement as well just a small flick of it and its an instant gear change ! the power is mind blowing !
0:35 “Awful lot of bullets hitting me here” VO: “And no wonder” “James! What are you doing!?” “Shooting at Jeremy” “But he’s on our side!!” “Yeah, but why wouldn’t you?” “You’re right, you would, FIRE!!” Cracks me up every time 🤣
WeMuckAround well they have their own new show on the amazon with the budget of 170 million pounds and they can do what they want. Its up to their imagination. So basically they won again.
I just realized, Sabine had an unfair advantage in the Mini race around Zolder. She was driving the Mini Cooper JCW while Jeremy just had the Cooper S.
Hahaha watching this over and over in years
Hammond:
* opens door *
"YEEEEEEAAAHH!!!!!"
"Did you notice I won? Now congratulate me"
"Did you notice I won because I was first?"
That shii was funny ash
Tip top tally hoe
It really fits today again perfectly.. watching Trump and the US elections.. :)
Likes his cut
WHADOOSH
the german screaming FIRE is the one of the funniest things i've seen in top gear ever
+Dan Krekmanski coupled with james in his mini tank shooting at jeremy saying why wouldn't you

In the movie 'Fury' the German anti-tank gun commander does it EXACTLY the same way
Freeman Carsten von Rissen?
Yordan Krekmanski you should see and here German artillery officers ordering to fire.
seriously underappreciated how stig made about 5 seconds on a good touring car driver at zolder which is a short cirucit anyway

It's Ben Collins, if I remembered correctly

That's wrong, Black Stig was Perry McCarthy

Hammond is what's called a "Bad Winner".
XD
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!
between my friends and I if we're ever doing anything that involves racing of any kind "Hammonds Law" applies.
That always makes me laugh
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

to be fair, the german guy flipped him off during the race

No mate, you pronounce "st" as "saint." It's "Saint James," mate.
He always buggers up the nicknames. It's totally James.
LoL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
"JAMES" really is talented. And in shape when he wants to be.
Some say James May sometimes wears a magic helmet, which changes him from captain slow to a super fast racing driver!
@@TheNeshkey It's the secret Finnish helmet Mika gave him during their lessons.
Some say the stig won Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver
Not a problem just pass a gun to your oponent and let him start xD

Hee wei seng！！！
NA pui! CVT pui!
@@woozhi9218 Stig was never actually played by Michael except at the reveal. He was actually Ben Collins in any other scene including this one.

exact same feeling
+Dash You mean James right?
cerealkiller Yea, of course. I just call James the Stig, the same reason why I call Hammond lofty
GO STIG
Obed baltodano same
5:04 The most german thing ever.
I guess this is more a british thing, isnt it?
Charles Earle I am a german😂
wow. how funny that is
I though that was building better cars than the british, or generally just the best cars in the World?
Charles Earle I taught you dead
6:22 even the cameraman was smiling 🤣
6:10 One of the best moments in Top Gear history.
Every good moment in the Top Gear vs Germans series is gold.
Coming in with Spitfires was just pure awesomeness!
It sure is
"YEEEEESSSS! WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT!"
Hammond's modest win
"James what are you doing?!"
"Shooting Jeremy"
"Why?!"
"Wouldn't you?"
"Yeah fair enough, carry on"
xD
Matt Green LOLOLOL😂😂😂😂
James actually said "Why wouldn't you?" which is slightly less funny
Should've asked for a turn
"James; some say you really saved our bacon there."
"...Others say I was bound and gagged in the locker room." XD loved this show.
wait when did they say this in the vid?
@@jakobfuugger They said it when they were back at the studio. So it's not in this video, but it was in this episode
7:26 "Das ist niemals Kapitän Langsam!" (No way that's Capt'n Slow)
Made me cringe so hard
@@JANKOLLPLAYZFX Why? It was obviously joke.
Josef Günter it’s a way to say it’s funny hahaha
@@jamesmeza8432 i dont think so
😂🤣🤦♂️
The Stig is a "presenter" in the credits so.....I think it's legit that he participates in the race.
He just runs on diesel and doesn’t speak or react
Having a stig always helps. Really love it when they bring the Stig out to clutch an event like that. My favorite was the 24 hour endurance race where the Stig blitzed the scoreboard anytime they lost ground lol.
i loved it when hamond asked if they could just use him for the full 24 hours lol
Yeah and to avoid Identifying him apparently 50% if the competitors were asked to write Stig so no one could narrow down who it was. I do believe this Stig was Ben Collins
Stig doesnt lose. if a time comes where stig loses it was a mere comedic joke or fictional. a fairytale, a farse, a dream. a imagination.
+George M. Stig's time was beaten in one of the "reasonably priced car" segments

Well, the Stig CAN lose, but only against other racing drivers, tame or wild. The average person doesn't stand a chance.
+VestedUTuber i raced stig, i was in a buggati veyron ss. he was in a volkswagen rabbit. He won.

Are you a racing driver?
I fully expected "Disaster strikes" to be James walking out and going "so how's the race?"
“IM IN THHE LEEAAAAAAD”

You can actually hear the air-quotes around "James" at every moment in this race... Just brilliant!
"Some say you saved our skins"
"Other's say I was bound, gagged and stuck in a storage locker"
" Were you shooting at me in the tank ?! "
' Yes he was. "
ASTON MARTIN + "James 'Stig' May" = Fastest car on Earth 😉👌
Anything plus "James" equals fastest thing on earth except for a konigsegg. Lol
Yeah, especially a Fiat Panda.
"James" right lol
WRONG Devel Sixteen is the fastest car on earth,with 348 Miles Per Hour.
A Devel Sixteen is untested, the British Thrust SCC reaches 763 MPH
Did anyone else notice James was using the "The Great Escape" technique of subtly dropping dirt?
Shawshank and prison break ftw
Escape from Alcatraz
This is one of the most badass races on this show.
Jeremy vs Sabine is one of the most exciting races I’ve seen on top gear!
Considering she is a pro, it is fair to say that Jeremy was quite good.
"He lost 30 kilos in 5 minutes"
XD
"James may's" race win has to be one of the most epic drives of all time!
That race at the end still gives me goose bumps over 10 years on. Wow!
Some say he pees out the window just to annoy the neighbours. And that he has a pet chihuahua called Rover. All we know... He's called the STIG! Love these guys.

I think it's amazing how entertaining this show is, regardless of if you're into cars or not.
Where's part 1.5? There's clearly something missing between part 1 and part 2.
there's also something missing after part 2

*"I'm in the lead! ... I'm NOT in the lead!"*
LOL, Clarkson!
I came when I heard the Porsche and the Aston Oh my God
glad I wasn't the only one, when they accelerate away from the start line the sound from those cars! Oh my days!
The bowler sounds really good aswell.
The bowler sounds really good aswell.
The Aston at 7:55 to 8:00 - it was both soulful and evil at the same time :o :o
The Merlin V12s in the Spitfires are king, though. It's phenomenal
Really miss this programme. Quality.
Hammond: Aggressively opens the german's door, " *YEEEESSSS* "
if you look carefully on the left at 7:53 you can see Richard and Jeremy cheering on Sti- James
STI, JAMES
STIG is a hell of a driver
Arseny Reynolds *James*
was the stig a *german man* at that time ?
the stig's *german cousin*
Tomi Rio - No, the only time the Stig was a German man was when he drove the Ferrari FXX, other than that always a British man, Ben Collins.
Richard Hammond is an actual representation of my mood everytime i win at a game that normally i am a looser at.
ugh that Aston Martin Race Car is a thing of beauty and that racing gear shifter is a thing a amazement as well just a small flick of it and its an instant gear change ! the power is mind blowing !
Goodbye Sabine, you are the G.O.A.T to try to beat a 10 minute run on a ‘Green Hell’ track
"do you know what, your mind can not comprehend how uninterested I am in things like this" - James

I like how hammond makes clarkson genuinely laugh.

Every time Jeremy does a german accent I would DIE of laughter HAHHAHAHAH
Best moment ever on top gear 9:40
The man in the suit was so quiet out of the car, but in the car, he was a maniac.
So emotional watching Top gear after Jeremy got the sack :(
WeMuckAround It had to end soon, as James put it.
Still pretty sad though :( end of an era...
Why did he get sacked
Jacob Lannon cuse he punched the producer in the face cuse his food wasnt ready (he was also drunk)
