They probably knew, anyone doing even the laziest research would see. TopGear is about fun and entertainment though so nobody cares since mentioning would ruin the skit.
You can see where the problem is going to be at 2:28. The point that it is pulling from on the car is higher than level with the table. One of the keys to this trick is to pull exactly level with a table, no higher or lower. You can see how this plays out if you slow it down when the car drives. The tablecloth immediately goes higher than the height of the table
They should have tied the rope to the car below the table level. When the car took off it pulled the cloth up instead of down. I would imagine it would still fail but with much less damage. Also I think Mythbusters did it too.
As the recent trend has proven, it's not the acceleration that matters but the speed at the time of the pull. With a long enough rope even a civic could make a clean pull.
Wouldn't have mattered. TG attempted it truthfully. While the BMW commercial it was faked. You can't yank a cloth that long out from under a set table. The whole trick is to get the cloth out faster then the friction between the cloth and the pieces on the table can overcome their inertia. If you watch the slow motion the pieces at the end of the table away from the car moved very little. But the stuff nearer to it that had more cloth running under them and therefore more friction over time went flying.
@@Cragified everything is correct except that it would have mattered. Moving everything up makes the normal force larger making the friction larger. I wouldn't say they would jave pulled it off if they tied to the bottom, but it would definitely have mattered.

The cable attached to the car was mounted higher than the table itself. The table cloth was lifted before it was pulled. This could work if done correctly.

Yes they did- what's more, they did it long before TG. If anyone in the show knew, they didn't let on.

Would love to see this done with an EV. That instant power and no exhaust could do something.
As the recent trend has proven, it's not the acceleration that matters but the speed at the time of the pull. With a long enough rope even a civic could make a clean pull.
How does no exhaust help at all lol. Don't worry the emissions are more than made up for making the battery and producing the electricity to charge it
