the fact that stig is still crossing his arms while in the boot of james' car makes it so much better
Yes
That means that the gtr's boot is big enough for fitting a Stig
@aqeel-3771 what..?
Some say he tried to kill James after the race as he doesn’t like being in a boot of a car.

That yellow Bentley on that red track is one of the most beautiful shots ever on this show
It really is.
The Continetal GT is my dream car. I just do not want a red one.
I recon that maloo looked pretty good
The Bentley is the most beautiful yet still powerful car.
Wow yes
The most fascinating thing about this series is the stigs extended family
”Did you say Family?”

Stig basically went, "There, I drove. Now let me back in the trunk."
*boot
Must be one comfortable trunk
Some say that’s the Stig’s meditation spot when the Stig has some spare time.

What do they expect? James May was faster than a German touring car driver (brits vs german in belgium zolda)
@@samsrides6197 your video was shite!!!! lol
@@NowFunStarts yeah, i almost broke my neck...
"He forgot where the end mark is. Well he did something James May-ish"
I felt that.
Fast-forward a couple a years and Hammond forgets where the finish-line is and it doesn't end well.
james may recently forgot the finish line again, your comment has aged like fine wine
Ironically Richard did that after in a other hill climing race and nearly die.
"English Stig. I've been carrying him around for days"
Must be very uncomfortable inside that GTR
Chouun Shiryu he looked quite comfy though. Arms crossed and all. In fact he looked bothered lol

Absolutely bloody funny quote ever 😂🤣
James May made history by being the first man to beat The Stig's time....
...with the help of another Stig.
But now, we know that we can put the Stig in the boot of a GT-R
+Paul Lefrançois very helpful l!! :D
+Paul Lefrançois But how?? and does stig eats or sleeps
+sharpbleydz500 Some say he sleeps in the trunk of a Nissan GT-R ... and that he has a thing for Australian hill climb competitions.
All we know is...!
+Troubleshooter125 All we know is that he is not the Stig, but he is the Stig's Australian cousin.
The way Jeremy looked at James after he got out is so funny
Looks good on any red background. Up close, not really
Clarkson: "He even has a bigger sausage"
May: "How did you find that out"
Classic Top Gear.
Lol 😂James is hilarious
Omg.. haha
Changes the connotation of the Bunnings sizzle a bit though :P

Well not anymore.
It takes a Stig to beat a Stig
fight fire with fire
@@optimalhazza fight whisky with tea
Don't forget...Aussie Stig drove rear wheel drive and made that time. That's pretty good!
It the battle of the stigs
The main stig is always better than his cousins tho
Richard: “What if we saw the under side of his BMW?”
James: “We can check if the exhaust is okay!” 🤣🤣
Jeremy - "None of what I'm seeing..."

Jeremy: "4.5 seconds faster than a Stig?🤔"
James: "😏😏"
That is casual
jeremy: are you stupid men?
JAmes: xD yeah....
Smug 😏
James May was black stig.
"Stig, it's James..."
To be completely honest I was more surprised from Richard being just 5 seconds off in the Bentley. That thing is super luxurious yet very fast. How it can do it is still beyond me. What an incredible car.
Super impressed after this. Fell in love after Madagascar.
Clarkson: *Wins competition*

So you got 570 BHP all in the rear wheels *and* you're driving off road...
*Turns off the traction control*
That's Clarkson for you
he's being ambitious and rubbish 🤣 thats clarkson
When you are racing you always turn off traction control otherwise it would slow you down. Even more so on a dirt track. It would kick in on every corner and the car would auto brake.
@@randomguitarguy5906 the script called for it
@@TheR3negadeMaster It's true, traction control on a two wheel drive vehicle severely reduces power to the engine whenever it detects loss of traction. It's not the same for a four wheel drive vehicle, because the traction control can choose a different wheel to send power to. The rear wheel drive vehicle was just a bad choice all around.
I have a '98 Audi A4, FWD. Standard features include built-in ABS and ASR (anti-slip reduction). Basically ABS is for traction when braking and ASR is for traction when accelerating. However, the ASR system uses the same sensors to detect slipping traction, so it is interconnected with the ABS system. At one point, my Audi had a problem with the sensor being fouled up and giving off false positives around 15 mph for loss of traction. Therefore, braking on clear asphalt could result in the ABS kicking in and accelerating would instead find the engine reducing throttle. I had to turn off both systems with the ASR button on the console. This temporary fix immediately solved my throttling issues. Traction control for FWD or RWD vehicles is something you definitely don't want to deal with in a race.
How rude english Stig.
He didn't even say hello to his cousin
Guess he's jealous of his cousin's bigger sausage. Lol ;D
doritos with mountain dew the stig(S) don't speak
That too.
doritos with mountain dew It would probably go like
English stig: ......
Australian stig: .......
Because he has a big one 🍆
To this day, 5:58-6:02 has been one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on a screen.
I come back to this video all the time just for those shots 🔥
I’ve replayed it a dozen times. A fantastic bit of driving and cinematography!
English stig is faster because his cousin has a bigger sausage.
Weight reduction bro.
Mamothdinolover 112 that seems... relevant... somehow
@@arthurpownceby5115 It's a pretty big sausage
Hahahahaha good one mate!!!
I think its more in the car, the australian srig drove some kind of weird truck
Isn’t more weight better for traction?
5:30 The Stig still has his arms crossed XD
😂😂
6:55 - why Jeremy is a genius and master of all forms of humor
His genius is frightening
In the next scene in the full episode, Jeremy is driving and still stumped, saying "I still can't believe he did it in 1:13. I mean, it takes James May 1:13 just to go through a door"
Ha, I remember James did a lap in a Rolls Royce and Jeremy said "Children come out of the womb faster than that"
@@straightbusta2609 Top speed test - James' Rolls-Royce Corniche (coachwork by Mulliner Park-Ward) v Jeremy's Mercedes-Benz 600 Grosser
"Four wheel drive is for the weak."
**Gets absolutely schooled by the Stig and Captain Slow.**
Jeremy Clarkson: the masochist
Heck, he was schooled by Hammond in a Country Mansion
A stock Volvo 850R would beat the M6 easily as well
He actualy didn't do bad without tc and with rwd
That's why it's for the weak... it's too easy to drive
The way this show was set up and created was just sheer genius.
I don't think there will be another show like this on television ever again.
There already is...
The Grand Tour
This is one of the best short clips of these three. I've watched it several times, and it always amuses. The three of them have an incredible talent.
7:34 when you cheat on a test and get 100% after failing last semester and the teacher asks you how

I caught it too.
Taha Qadir he was talking about jeremy conspicous face
I honestly think that no footage could ever truly show the massive feat that these mines are. These holes are absolutely MASSIVE. If you need a comparison, the road down can be upto 4-5 kilometers long. These strip mines are absolutely amazing, and leaves you in awe first time you see it.
7:20 I just love how genuine they are with Hammond
Maybe because he knew that captain slow beat him.
Hahahaha the way he was laying in the back of the car with his arms crossed!
His arms are always crossed unless he's holding the wheel... or in the rare event of Stig-walking

6:55 how my mum looks at my dad when i've said i finished my homework
“Am I the only one who really likes that Ute?”
“Yes..”
“Okay..”
No ur not my friend
every aussie watching loves that ute and if they dont its cause they're a secret american
Utes are very common cars they're built for Australian coniditions nearly all have v8s and a ton of horse power ute is short for utility vehicle, often owned by tradesmen because of the extra storage for tools on the back and can tow anything

Australian Stig hanging the tail out on opposite lock in a Ute around a big red crater is perhaps the most Aussie thing to ever happen
James: *slaps top of GTR* "This bad boi fits so many Stigs in it!"

What has an elephant appendage got to do with the boot of a car?
@Sylvia Mauser I think he’s talking about the Stig, making a joke about his name.

The thing I love is that if you search the registration plates of the Maloo on the Vicroads register... it comes up as stolen. :P
daaaamn
🤣🤣🤣
Australian Stig mustn’t have given it back.
I’m glad how on point this is to Australia. The Maloo, driving environment, package size, the thongs and the very sideways cornering.
aussie stig 4.5 inches longer than the stig
@@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical Aussie stig's ears 4.5 inches closer together.. 🤔
@@aclark903 pommy stigs ears are 4.5 inches lower set
I think the Australian Stig has to be one of the most impressive of the Stigs. cause he set that bench time, while diving in FLIP-FLOPS.
Aren't they called "thongs" in Australia?
Thongs mate.
bangers
Fly swatters
4:31 remember just few years ago a huge helicopter was used to film now it's done by a drone that fits in your school backpack
a normal dji drone ain't that fun. fpv drone is better at filming cool shots
Drones existed back when this was filmed. Trust me, for serious high quality films and TV shows, no drone will do. They still use helicopters.
@@jasondeland5487 yep. The few commercial drones that can carry those massive film camera lenses, cant move as fast as a helicopter or fly as long.
Drones are probably only good for better planned out shots. Doesnt work too well for this type filmwork.
@@jasondeland5487 They kinda sucked back then cause battery tech was garbage and you'd run through a full charge way too quickly.
Lmao a very naive comment
"What if all of the sudden we see the under side of his vehical"
"We'll check if his exaust is ok"
😂😂😂
😂😂
"i shall do this first. And you will witness poetry"... I am stealing this line
I'd like to think that when Jeremy opts to suggest that the Stig will drive the lap when James reads the card, that James already know that it isn't possible... because the Stig is in his trunk.
A small scene would be fun where James would wheel the Stig out of the closet which has written 'Stig' on the door. Then another scene where the producer asks an assistant to prepare the Stig for transport to Australia for the upcoming episode. Then the assistant discovers that the Stig is gone. Following is a scene where the assistant would mention it to the producer and the producer tells the assistant to get one of the spare Stigs. Then the assistant would walk into a warehouse with 'Spare Stigs' on the door. Upon entering, rows of closets are lined up with different 'Stigs' written on the door. French Stig, German Stig, Dutch Stig, Italian Stig, Spanish Stig, Japanese Stig etc. Then a new frame of the assistant opening the Australian Stig out of the closet and carrying him away.
Only a stig can cancel out a stig
Stigception?
LOL
only a gtr can beat a maloo
evo for emo's come back when you got something powerful
It takes a Stig to beat another Stig.

6:01 "that was a racing line, did you see there"

Pops the trunk, Stig still has his arms crossed like a boss lmao.
He's got a bigger sausage 😂😂😂

That gtr going up the hill is so beautiful, elegant, refined and yet feels so rough and tough.... No matter how many times I see that, it never fails to give me the goosebumps. I strive to achieve that kind of skills. What a car and what a driver...

What Richard and May didn't realize, is that Holden was 2WD.
***** True.
+86fan Pretty sure they did, they had an episode with the HSV Maloo before and they've also driven several other HSVs, who don't do 4WD or FWD.
Fishfingers232 Maybe, I don't know why they would mick on Jeremy's car for it being RWD if they knew that the HSV was RWD.
86fan It's cos they had to use an Aussie car for the Aussie stig and all powerful Aussie cars are RWD, so he didn't really have a choice whereas Jeremy did.
And a Stig is actually skilled enough to drive a 2WD car on a loose surface really fast, whereas Jeremy can't.
Fishfingers232 Good points. I was just making a statement. :)

“Thats quite a vigorous start”

The dramatic music and cinematography of the GTR lap was amazing, always like to reminisce to this special because of the incredible camera work
Those cars are more badass when thy looked like they have been driven they are suppose to be, especially with all the dirt it makes the car look tough.
I mean a 150 thousand dollar GTR R35 isnt really meant to be driven in the dirt. Same goes for the other 3. They probably destroyed the car's underside.

@@spacegrass6632 none of them are really meant to be driven in the dirt. I do agree with him tho.
@@sebastiaomendonca1477 *other 2...
people says boring the gtr... but i am sure they never drive like stig... or take a corner like that 5:59
It's because the R35 is more boring to drive (when driving in a similar manner) then an R32, R33, or R34. That's simply due to the new tech and fantastic engineering. While I'd rather have an R32, the R35 is a fantastic car.
TheClassiestFox the car is fun in the limit, a r32 have less handling and is more lightweight. The r35 is boring for a average driver, because he can´t drive a r35 at the limit. Still today is outdated and need a new version
