Tiff was a professional race driver. Now I could reel off some of his race record but he is leagues apart from these guys. Journalistic wise? Tiff is not a Journalist. He's more of a race pundit. It's like an ex footballer hosting match of the day. Like Gary Lineker, Saint's and Grevies etc. His life has been around cars. He isn't a Rory who ended up as a Journalist or a Matt Armstrong. Just very different beasts.
@@mthokonene5093 I checked it at 5.06 in the video. You don’t have to be good at driving a car fast to be a journalist. No going at Rory, I think he’d admit he’s not the best anyhow. Jethro Bovingdon, Chris Harris, Richard Meaden are all very handy journalists behind the wheel for reference. Then racing drivers are at a different league again.
Yeah, because the "baby" Audi has more HP than a 911 of those days and a drive-train, suspension and electronic gadgets that do a lot of the driving for you. I mean, you could say that THAT is the amazing thing, but there's really nothing "baby" about a car that costs around 80k EUR.
12:30ish you can see the sweat on her face as she’s beginning to feel motion sickness. If you’ve ever been in a car with a racing driver you know how quickly you feel like this being with them.
I thought they would mention the fact that Rory's Lap had two people in the car. Thus the fastest laps by the two drivers are not comparable! Brilliant video!
lmfao. that last segment had me in stitches 😭. I find it funny how all athletes even when they're not in an official competition, the competitive side of them always comes out.
I think you need a bit of track gear to time accurately, bc when it comes down to 0,1 and 0.01 of seconds, human reaction actually falls into the margin of error.
When people brag about how fast their cars are I always remember them that Sabine Schmitz(rip) in a Transit van was faster than Jeremy Clarkson in a Jag
Seems like a nice genuine guy who’s been through some shit but he’s still going well done mate what an inspiration I wish you would ask the guests about there cars they have owned and what is there thought about the car they’re driving and ask them about the cars they have now. It’s a nice show 👏🏽👍🏽🤜🏽🥂
Cool format. If you do it again it would be cool to hear the pro talk about their approach to driving the slower car (which more of us are more likely to be able to afford). It would also be fun to see them set a time in the fast car for reference
I always wondered whether they really use a stopwatch (and a phone based / touch screen one at that) to track lap times... If they do, 6 ms is an order of magnitude bellow margin of error.
By what definition is Rory a slow driver? I bet measured against the general public, Rory belongs to the faster drivers. Years, if not decades ago, I saw a driving novice in a racing car (something like DTM, probably) against a pro racing driver in a Vauxhall Astra, and the pro smoked the novice. Most interesting would probably be an average Audi RS or BMW M buyer against a pro racing driver in an economy car.
Great video Rory, having just bought a new S3 Sportback Black Edition, did the car you had in this video have an electric release boot ? I ask because ours despite having the tech pack pro ( which advertises the feature ) ours came without! Audi claim they don’t and website info is incorrect, so we have a dispute with Audi UK re this , we have seen on the internet through auto trader a number of New S3’s (333bhp) with this feature , so they do exist. Any help would be appreciated- thanks, Martin
We want Rory's time without Jann in the car...🚗😅
@@ramz_1520 I was just about to ask whether any of the participants had heard about this phenomenon in racing called vehicle weight.
Depends if Jann was egging him on to go more sideways or giving him tuition to stay in a reasonably straight line…
its so weird seeing this circuit and not having the corners called out as they were named on topgear. Its completely embedded in my subconscious lol
Should have left Jann to also race on Audi R8, so the times could be compared on the Audi R8 alone as well. Great video tho 🤌🙏
and see Rory in the S3. AWD is very useful. The lack of it in the R8 is noticeable.
Never getting tired of the Audi r8 v10 sound and the looks
Auto journalists are often so stiff and boring but people like Rory tiff nedel matt bring vibes and life to there work.keep it up
what about mat watson

@@R_301.1 oh I didn't see
tiff is the best...also matt watson
Rory is never the slowest driver,you can tell the guy is a professional
Professional at what?

Bro that’s Jann 😭🙏 the Gran Turismo legend
Y’all couldn’t have given him a RS3 😂
"someone still has a job! No offence"😂😂😂
Back in the day, supercars used to do these times. A baby Audi S car, not even an RS is doing it today, unbelievable.

@@YTOnceAgain tyres are also a huge factor. The compounds for normal road cars are so much better 20 years on.
@@sensiblezoomer Good point.
🤣🤣what an ending, trully MARVELlous. Was wondering how will Jan even ask Alex without mentioning weight.
🤣🤣That last bit was petty and funny, but I'm here for it!!
Great watch. As if Rory is a “slow” driver, won my go karting event nearly 20 years ago when an IT journalist 🤣
Audis done great work with this S3 other than the badging being removed in the front the car performs really well
The best Audi S3 ad
Just finished watching the Gran Turismo movie, and now here I am....
What rating would you give the film?
@@vimtobill4156 9/10
Glad that you're still around Rory!
24:50 “It’s Rory. ..Reed!” As if Stig knows more than one Rory… 😂

cmon bro one was driving an entry level hot hacth another is driving the final most agressive form of the audi r8 supercar linup.
Jann seems like such a nice guy, definitely need him back for more.
I want to see Jann in the R8 as well and learn what he can do in that
The end 😂😂😂
😂😂
lmfao. that last segment had me in stitches 😭. I find it funny how all athletes even when they're not in an official competition, the competitive side of them always comes out.
What a great story, I think alot of us have shared his dream. But never been able to make it a reality. Great race!
Rory - love the new strategy, man. It's you guys and Throttle House. Car wow hasn't evolved. 👊
@@daenglishpatient it’s only Throttle House
I think you need a bit of track gear to time accurately, bc when it comes down to 0,1 and 0.01 of seconds, human reaction actually falls into the margin of error.
I only watch this channel a couple of time.
Just realized that this is the Top Gear/Lotus track.
Rory & Alex are just in time! Much needed
Now give him a lap in the R8!
Should've given him a chance in the Audi too as a benchmark!
This is like the golden days of Top Gear
That's the most impressive guy I know, seeing the movie and the stories behind him. So impressive.
That was FANTASTIC!!!!!

How will I like this twice?! Good stuff 👌

Seemed strange not having Jezza doing the voiceover on the Top Gear track. It must be said that modern ‘Hot Hatches‘ sure do shift.
GranTurismo was a great film and even better that it was based on a true story, the CLK GTR crash was epic
it was a nissan gtr
The S3 is a Slow car? 🤔
We all know it’s not.
We all know it’s not
This was awesome! Do this again! Format is perfect.
You consistently have a fresh take. That’s why I come back to your channel!
Jann (Mr Gran Turismo) is here😲. Bro that's cool ✨
Dunno why the did away with the S3 badge on the front.
62kg it's actually a lot, and no distraction
I'd love to listen to the podcast but that woman's voice does my head in. Especially when she makes certain words longer for "dramatic" effect.
You’re voting for trump 😂
@@Terrencetulani bwahahaha, got em!!!
What would have been interesting is to see what sort of time Jann could do in the R8 and Rory in the S3 as well.
I LOVED LOVED this episode need two like buttons for this one!!
I wanna see Jann set a time in that R8
Rory saying "you'll need it" when Jann asks for a helmet 😂
Rory never a rookie, the way you drive man is nuts . I highly rate you over all gys i see on TH-cam
should ask Jann to drive the R8 and see what is the lap time
Ah, the legendary track. Hope it stays as it is!
I love Jann's energy and story. He gives me major Lewis Hamilton vibes.
Why not at Anglesey and a proper stop watch or timing equipment?
I always wondered whether they really use a stopwatch (and a phone based / touch screen one at that) to track lap times... If they do, 6 ms is an order of magnitude bellow margin of error.
Brilliant video as always great come up story
It would have been amazing to see Jann’s time in the R8!!
That r8 is a drift machine my god
Brilliantly done. I’m smiling.
Great episode
Jann did a great job, so did both rory and alex

Most interesting would probably be an average Audi RS or BMW M buyer against a pro racing driver in an economy car.
this video wasnt about the car, it was basically a video about how much slower a car would be with a person on it TT
My favorite presenter on this episode is the Top Gear Test Track.
Jann Mardenborough we love you. Wtf he's actually being featured in Autotrader
You should spring for some proper telemetry equipment. Its 2024😋

i want Jann as my chauffeur, he quick and so chill
Love the ending 😅
This track, aww so many memories 🙏.
He looks and sounds like Lewis Hamilton
@@jonwick2432 same thoughts
Sounds nothing like him. Jann has a Welsh accent!
@mr8I7 not the accent, but his tone does sound like Lewis. Looks, less so.
Would be interesting to see Jann in the R8 for the reference
Putting a compact not even an rs4 against an R8 shows how good these cars really are.
GT movie so underrated
I was surprised Alex didn't offer to get out of the car on the 2nd lap! Shouldn't she know that her weight would drag him down?
Am confused
I thought Rory used to be a professional driver. But anyway, this was fun to watch
There were definitely some track limits issues, especially from a professional driver. He was just hoping you wouldnt find out 😂
calling an s3 slow is crazy
Audi R8 the best sports car ever ❤❤❤
Awesome video keep it up 👍👍😊
What about the lap with the pro-driver on the R8?
These latest s3’s are looking much like a q2,, to high for a hatch back
which watch is JAN wearing ?
Was wondering myself..! Mus be a Casio A500W from the Vintage series!
That boy should've gone faster, with Alex in the car.... to impress, you know👌
it will be better to switch cars! to compare both habilities
Hope you keep your word Rory. Ciao 😂👋
At first I thought the yellow car was a Suzuki Swift...! 😂
The gap between the s3 and r8 performance is insane though
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? JAN MARDENBROUGH IS HERE
He is a true blue racer at heart!!,
Loved it!
Timing a pro with a phone stopwatch in the hands of a show host?
Oh the standards
Songbird was definitely played on those speakers
I knew i recognized that starting line
This is the content we want from topgear! 😅
It would be much much better if we knew Jann's time in the R8
Maybe it’s the colour, but the S3 just looks like a regular A3 now. I guess they have to make the RS3 the aggressive-looking one.
S models have always been understated with power. Only the RS models are full race car mode.
16:30 Video starts.
Really, using a smartphone to clock the laps? The reaction time to press the button is bigger than the final time difference.
