- Jeremy and James head to New Zealand to take part in a race from the Coromandel Peninsula to the northern tip of the North Island. James had to cover 220 miles (350 km) in the America's Cup yacht Oracle, whilst Jeremy had a much longer 410 miles (660 km). The Oracle's crew was made up of James, Olympic gold medallist Sir Ben Ainslie and several America's Cup winners. Jeremy's Auris is a rental, thus "the fastest car in the world", and he has little regard for its safety... Taken from Episode 1, Series 20.

Regarding 90 mile beach:
90 km = 55.9234 miles
It's technically 90 kilometer beach, then.
Still weird😂
@@szn00 1 metric mile is 10km 😅 so 90km is 90 metric miles😁
@@sondreyboy What kind of math is that😂
@@szn00 Sorry It's "mil". without an "e" on the end, but pronounced the same way. And is used to describe 10km(which is the metric standard).
But i found out that it's mostly used in scandinavia, and therefore often called the "scandinavian mile".
And i think thats why they call it the 90mil beach, if it's actually 90km long
@@sondreyboy It's ok bro👍
"This is called 90 mile beach, because it is exactly 55 miles long." Made my day! :D
ithat is true know one here in nz understands that to
rounds out to be 90 kilometres
Yeah its 90 kilometres
@@keescherrington7505 wasn't it that it was 'measured' by how long horses took to traverse the beach but they didn't think about it that the sand slowed the horses down

A maniac tractor driving at 70 km/h
ha ha ha
he said 70
That was the entire joke, he did say 70, otherwise it wouldn' be maniac

You purchase CDW, you do what you want
For all of the people raging about how "this isn't the fastest car in the world," you obviously do not understand sarcasm. The reason they refer to this little Toyota as the fastest in the world is because it's a rental. It's not a loaner from a car manufacturer, it's not one of the presenter's personal vehicles, it belongs to no one in particular. Therefore, Jeremy can careen through fields and scrape along rock walls without slowing down with few to no consequences.
Typical socialist/communist comment by LostInPhilly89 saying ''it belongs to no one in particular." Actually it belongs to the rental company which in turn has shareholders who invested money to make the company exist and provide a service. Yes, they intend to make a profit, and the way they do that is provide (usually, for a company to be successful) the best service possible. One way to maintain good service is when other people (customers) respect the service offered and behave as responsible customers, otherwise the companies have to hike the rates or go broke (or get taken over by the government sector and have the service and products they had to deal with in the USSR.)
Sawok Productions nothing wrong with communism
Actually, if you rent a car, you are not allowed to drive on dirt roads or even offroad. You will have to pay for every damage yourself :)
I can't believe how many people in this comment chain are so stupid as to not understand the joke that rental cars are the fastest in the world.
@@SAWOK12 but it didnt belong to jezza... and the car wasnt expensive, so therefore he could drive like a madman
it is called 90 mile beach coz its exactly 55 miles long
lol
90 Km=55 miles
yeah sure
but he said "its 90 mile beach bcoz its exactly 55 miles long" and not km
Ambady Anil Because a horse can travel ~30 km (actually they used km for misure it) per day. Early settlers traveled by horse along the beach, it took them 3 days, thus they estimated it was _90 Km_ long. After Imperials arrived and they changed sistem and estimated that was 90 _miles_ long, so it's called 90 miles (it should be called 90 Km, or 55 miles) beach, in the Imperial sistem it's 55 miles long, while in the metric sistem it's 90 Km long, Imperials made a mistake to changing it in their sistem only the unite of measure and they did not the same at the number so the name has remained "90 miles beach"
thank you for the information
i wish i could drive through that awesome highway.
does the car wheels sink there?
Why is it the fastest car in the world? Jeremy explains:
Jeremy: I do realise the enormity of the challenge I face, which is why I have gone for the fastest car..... in the world. Here it is...
May: It's a Toyota Corolla?
Jeremy: Oh, is that what it is? I haven't looked. Yes, it is.
May: It's a 1.8 litre Toyota Corolla.
Jeremy: Engine size is irrelevant, James, because, do you know what makes this so fast? Look in the window... I've rented it!
May: Oh, no!
Jeremy: Yeeeeeees! And this is the thing, you see. I mean, the Bugatti Veyron, sometimes you're using 15 horsepower, sometimes you're using only ten. This, you have 140 horsepower from the moment you start it up to the moment you crash it.
May: Did you pick up one of those um, what are they called, collision damage waiver forms?
Jeremy: No, I picked up six. When her back was turned, I thought, I'll have some of those.'
Copied straight off the Netflix subtitles.
The joke was that it was a rental, thus Jeremy could or rather, would, drive completely unrestricted. As seen with the run in with the tractor.
KiwiPowerNZ i
+Rob Martin Yea, I think he realizes it was a joke given that he just copy/pasted the entire exchange here for us...
Man this context explained a lot!
Who read this in their accent 😂😂😂😂 i did
James, "It was blue when you set off wasn't it? I could have sworn it was blue." Jeremy, "No no it was red." hahaha very funny stuff!
Yeah i did see that too😂😂😂
slight fault with the editing; at 5:31 Jeremy is allegedly driving the red ''rolla, but the inner edge of the door frame is obviously blue.
@@mattbrand4068 probably didn’t have enough coverage of the last leg of the race so they edited in an earlier bit
“Oh look a tractor!”
**proceeds to slam into wall**
it was blue!? i would have sworn it was blue! ... hahahaha 😀 😂 😀 😂
+S Dew The look in his face was priceless...
He genuinely was doubting himself and his memory lol
S Dew A
What have they done!
I love his face when he sees the red car!
5:06 door frame is a red
5:31 door frame is a blue.
They must have edited in a shot taken earlier in the blue car.
The show has to fill an allotted time slot. If they have gaps in the film that need to be filled and no more material to fit in it, they will fill the holes with some B-roll cuts that they have laying around for that purpose.
they drive the blue rough and they drive the red not so eough
good spotting, felt good re-watching that
Nice
Lmao Jeremy learning the hard away about rural Kiwi roads. I learned to drive on roads just like them, windy and gravelled. I discovered that with enough determination, even my Grandads old HiLux could drift
"Hi"
"Good afternoon"
"I have a small problem with my car, therewasamaniacaltractordriverwhouseddo70kilometersanhour, i swerve..."
@Rama Nrusimhadevara he said "I swerved"
Most, if not all tractors can even go that fast
@Rama Nrusimhadevara in caption it was "I swerved"
@@rikicurtis522 True, but certain models of JCB Fastraks do hit 70 KM/H factory.
That shot at 3:45 is one of the coolest bits of cinematography I've seen in a while!
at 5:31 the dor sill is blue. logic
damn...you good
That's not the outside part of the door. it's like its lining
and next shot it is red
Good eye!
Got sharp eyes!
James' face! That was priceless when he saw the car.
7:52 - the look of dismay on MAYS face has killed me 1000 times over.
I love how the yacht team cheered for james😂
Never noticed the flying fish at 2:46! So cool!
+Abram Treadwell Things for May however were not going so well. Even with the fastest sail vessel in the world at his disposal, captain slow was overtaken by a fish...
Lol
3:55 It's called 90 mile beach because it has exactly 55 miles, which is 90 kilometers fyi
Avinide I was looking for this comment
"It's called 90 mile beach because it has exactly 55 miles" 🤣
I'm sure we know the difference between a K' and Mile.. atleast I hope so.
It’s 88km long
It's because the European explorers used their horses to determine distance but they travel slower through sand
"Drive it like a rental".
I can picture it now. James sitting at home watching this episode air and yelling, CLARKSON!
At 05:31 slightest mistake the production made by letting the editor using the earlier footage when Jeremy said "Lack on gravel i wasn't expecting that" why i said that? it's because as you can see the car that supposed to be RED its BLUE again look at the body frame right of Jeremy.
haha
i see
haha nice observation sir
hahaha, awesome observation man
***** being an editor myself sometimes (when im being an arse) i love to find errors in the videos i watched hahaha...

Best part in the full episode was him filling out the form. "What happened. A maniac in a tractor came the other way!" "Who's fault was it. HIS!"
This is why I love Top Gear!
huioopkkkkkk
Apparently the coast of New Zealand is a hot spot for Time Travel anomalies, because if you listen at 4:46, you can hear the cannon shot of a pirate ship and the roar of a kraken.
Man sailing looks pretty badass.
It is. As a sailor, i can tell you that it is a underrated sport. The only sport ive Done that makes you more exhausted is hockey, football for example is a stroll in the park compared to sailing. Lots of tactics, strategies, manouvers, physical work and so on, and great fun. Very expensive and time demanding sport however. The boat seen here looks like a AC45, worth 1 million dollars, and if a crew that doesnt compete on worlds standards, youd propably die in carbon splitter within minutes. The boat i sailed, the 29er (thought to move to the 49er but didnt have time due to school) was about 14k and needed about 20 minutes maintenence for every hour sailed. And the parts and wax an whatever arent cheap either.
TL;DR Fun, very physical sport, but expensive and takes a lot of time out of your day.
"It was blue when you set off" hahaha
4:32 song name is :Break My Soul by hybrid
James eyes trying to register whether the colour of Jeremy's car was red is priceless
I'd love to see James in this year Americas Cup yachts as they rise up 30ft in the air and monofoil at frighting speeds
The genuine look of confusion on his face to the end as he was trying to remember what color the car was supposed to be was just the cherry on top of this video
With Jeremy's gods gift driving skills, even a tank could wreck 😂😂😂
as a friend of a tank driver I have to say that wrecking tanks is much easier than is popularly believed
The point it that it is a rental car so he doesn't have to take care of it at all and it is the fastest car in the world. If he took a Bugatti or venom he couldn't drive it very fast because he would have to take care of it.
Thanks I wasn't quite sure of the concept of this episode until explained
ive been searching years for an explanation on this episode, thank you sir now i can finally reast in peace
"This is called 90-mile beach because it is exactly 55 miles long."
and it was named by a pom
Please come back to New Zealand and do a full length Grand Tour special!!!
7:01 "C'mon pleeeaaasseeeee"
um im pretty sure the reliant robin is the fastest car in the world.
RE4PER I don’t think so. The Peel P50 is even faster
@@Skyline25 is it a rental peel?
Oliver is obviously the fastest
Not when Mr bean is about.
Power wheels car is the fastest duh 🙄
01:33
The most miserable-sounding 'good afternoon'... in the world.
James' expression when he sees the red car is epic, "could have sworn it was blue"
I'm from New Zealand it's so beautiful and free
btw my profile picture is me jumping off a sand dune in New Zealand
Stephen Reed @
Thomas Welsh lol so true
yes and no it's not that in the middle of nowhere our Aussie mates r just across the ditch
Stephen Reed same I live in na and its sooooooooo butifull
“Come on James give ‘em a hand it’s not the bloody love boat” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was really fun to watch, but it still makes me a bit confused. So Top Gear go to New Zealand to race a Toyota Corolla against a yacht, but they still haven't been to Australia to cover the Falcon? I hope they are planning to do a massive Australia episode because it's about time they do.
5:30 How did he get back in the blue car?
Its all staged and then edited,nice eye for a detail btw ;),would have never noticed
Ben Modic its not blue, the dust and dirt from the angle darkens the red making it look almost blue again, its not. A few seconds later, a similar shot occurs and you can see the front bumper is red
+Vijay Patil its gold and withe
yt9,
+Abdul Homey lol
Thats Great That New Zealand Is Actually On TH-cam... Thanks Top Gear Come Back Any Time
5:02 when a FWD hot hatch looks more majestic than a RWD italian supercar....
Not even a hot hatch just a hatch
The fact that they sailed an America’s Cup boat all the way to the north cape is ridiculous
Lol the end made me chuckle
I could have sworn It was blue @5:31.
Thodsen92 Did you not check the video? xD He did that in this vid too. One of the best races for sure ;)
i agree i saw a blue window frame
I think that the rear window frame looks red to me. Or mabye it’s just the sun.
James “why do people even go sailing”
*has a sailing amphibious car in an earlier series*
at 5:31 jeremy is drivin the blue car!!!
It is because of the light
+Okay Nope. Pretty sure you can see blue paint in the interior.
+Mad Pistol oh wow nice spot, also note how thereare so many shots from the side of the road
+Mad Pistol It's clearly blue. Compare that with 5:45.

+Bolle ke I drive a Toyota so it's funny for me to see my car (a slightly newer one) getting abused so badly. If he hadn't of hit that wall that car would be good for at least another 200,000 miles.
+KiwiPowerNZ probably won't be after driving it on the beach.
chrischoy9 Depends how fast you can rack the kms up I guess.
The whole thing will be rusted up within months
Wow, Mr. May truly took a batter...*tips hat*
7:06 Boom Mic xD
good to see those rare occasions of James winning
"There was a maniac tractor driver who was doing that 70 kph" - 1:37
Nice pretext.
intresting enough that little red 2013 toyota corolla is still actually on the road in nz. Its currently got 136,646 kms on it.
The blue one is immediately totaled after Jeremy took it is what cracks me up 😭
7:04 Loads of footprints
7:29 nearly no footprints
They must have redone the walk up
Yeah
New Zealand looks really fantastic. Too bad its located in the other side of the planet lol.
Nah mate, it's all you guys who are on the other side of the planet.
thats why its so beautiful
+Thomas Welsh That's a double possitive
It's really not that far from Australia mate
yeah that suxks but i went and it was amazing
the boat looks like it would take of at any moment and fly away lol
Just look at this production. WHO can make something like that today... It was too expensive and too good. THANK YOU 💓
This is one of my all-time favorite TOP GEAR segments!!!!!
So proud to be a New Zealander 😊😍😂

7:51 - May's face :D
When you wake up and you did not set your alarm clock.
I think its 90kilometer beach
its actually called 90 mile beach even though new zealand uses kilometers, it's because when the British measured it on horses when they first arrived they measured in what they though was miles, but was actually kilometers so yes you are right, it's 90km
+TaNkEsT SkUx But New Zealand is discovered by The Netherlands.
+Penguin Master but largely colonised by the British. Abel Tasman and his crew were the first of the outside world to discover New Zealand, but left after they faced hostility by the Maori. In the 1800's the British came and colonised the land, setting up villages and taking over ownership of the land.
+Penguin Master I am from New Zealand, it was discovered by Avil Tasman, hence the Tasman sea, but was popularised by the British.
+TaNkEsT SkUx there are tons of stories where the name could come from. Not a single one is confirmed or even generally accepted.
I'm so glad to see Captain Slow finally winning against Jeremy
I have such a respect to these guys... How old are they and they still do these crazy adventures that not just most people in their age cannot do, but even young people such as me would afraid to do things in this video!
The car is blue again 5:31 what ???
They aren't actually racing, they're just trying to make good TV. In other words, it's all fake.

Top Gear is always that way... but it makes for hilarious and good viewing!
Yeah ... life sucks ... hahahaha
Engravatado0zX In the full episode he breaks the blue ones and get a red one
But he is driving the blue one in a scene after he was supposed to have broken it and switched.
OMG, I keep seeing "its not the fastest car in the world" ITS A JOKE, if you dont understand a joke, don't watch top gear. Simple
THEY ARE KIDS. Kids don't understand it.
Good point.
where???
Big woosh
Its not the fastest car pause.... in the Wooorld
god, that yacht is speeding lol

5:30 his car turned blue again
Why was James with Oracle Team USA and not Team NZ???
That skipper didn't sound very Yankee
Exactly, I rather see NZ Team beats Japanese car on New Zealand’s land than USA Team beats Japanese car on New Zealand’s land! Just doesn’t make sense
They didn’t sound very american
True....
The skipper is sir ben ainslie
The one time Cpt. Slow *wasn't* slow and he wasn't driving/ piloting.
That is a very fast sailboat. I did not imagine that they could go that speed.
Jezza has a Keep Left reminder on the speedometer...does he also have a Petroleum Only warning on the fuel filler cap?
Renter's rule no.1:
"It ain't mine."
Something so satisfying about watching a Corolla getting beaten up. Like it's born to do so. 👀
Creds to james for swimming in the worlds most dangerous waters and not get eaten by a great white or any other killer animal living there.
bendik Jacobsen Nz waters ain't dangerous
bendik Jacobsen that's Australia
That title would go to Australia, not New Zealand.
I live in New Zealand and we have no poisonous species or sharks so no creds because of my comment.
Love the running joke that if you turn on a radio in New Zealand all they ever play is the same old song by Crowded House.
1:02
The sweet irony of James asking "What is the point of sailing"
Best show in the world!
5:31 Why is he again in a blue car? Look at the right side of the window...
Photoshop? Nice one on that......
lol to make it fit in with the current scene
because he was in a blue car when he said it, but the tg team put the clip after they changed car
+Montarbaur in front its blue but behind its red [ door frame ] i think its because of light
+Xover112 they wanted to use the clip from the blue car in the red car
Love how Sir James May emphasized the _sir_ in Sir Ben Ainslie
Fun fact in an interview James said he got there so early that they edited it to seem like it was neck to neck
Flying fish at 2:47 ?
yep.
You might be right. The appearance was fleeting, and I'm not an ichthyologist. Hence the question mark in my comment.
I was hoping that someone with better screen resolution and more open-water experience might be able to give me a definitive answer.
The clues:
1. The creature has *two* distinct and separate sets of wings (fins?).
2. It seems to trace a shallow parabolic trajectory above the water. Ballistic motion, not sustained flight.
3. Extrapolating that path sees it emerge from the water at the beginning of the flight and enter it again at the end.
4. It has a very, *very* fishy-looking tail, which appears to orientated vertically. Like a fish tail. Rather than horizontally, as one might find on a bird. (Or a dolphin etc.)
5. Although it's difficult to tell from maybe four frames, it appears to be thrashing that tail during the first part of the flight, as if it had been using the tail to propel itself through the water to get the necessary speed to breach the surface.
6. Mr. Bird/Fish is followed on his flight by a friend, about a second later. Although we can't see the starting point of that journey, the second one clearly lands back in the water.
7. Birds traveling in the ground effect above the ocean tend to use the waves for ridge soaring, in order to generate lift. In other words they mostly travel parallel to the moving wave. These creatures seem to be traveling in the same direction as the swell, presumably using the kinetic energy of the wave, while they are still "inside" it, to help them get more airspeed once they emerge.
8. When birds travel together across the ocean surface, they will almost always form a staggered V pattern, each slipping into the slipstream of the next, to conserve energy. These two followed each other in a manner that suggests that flying is not their primary mode of transport.
9. There wasn't much flapping going on. Although the camera angle might cause some distortion, it appears that these birds/fish are moving faster than one of the fastest sailing vessels in the world. Or more than 23 knots (43 km/h). If they were simply gliding along for hours on end, where did the energy come from to get to that speed?
Penguins aren't streamlined enough to get to that sort of speed in the water. Fish are.
10. These creatures definitely seem to decelerate during the course of their flight. Implying that they slow down in one particular medium (air) and generate their speed in another medium (water).
So yeah, I think they're fish. I've never actually seen a flying fish in real life, so I don't pretend to be an expert.
But I'm pretty sure they are in fact flying fish.
Imagine writing a 10 point essay to prove to a random on the internet that doesn't care either way that an animal in a youtube video was in fact a fish
Nah. It wasn't for the benefit of the random person replying to my comment.
It was more an exercise in *deductive reasoning, based on a tiny snippet of evidence*, with no direct experience. A little intellectual challenge. The sort of thing I sometimes do for fun. Because I clearly don't have enough to keep my mind occupied. "The devil makes work for idle hands" etc.
And minds, apparently.
Also, I type really fast. It didn't take me all day. Was just a pleasant distraction from my otherwise drab day.
And I enjoy flying.
The evolution of flight, independently, multiple times, in multiple different animals of vastly different morphology, is something I find very interesting. I've never seen a flying fish or a flying squid IRL, but look forward to it.
Flying Squid? How cool is that. A glorified snail, basically a ball of snot, that's somehow managed to cast off its earthbound shackles. Awesome.
So there!
It is indeed a flying fish, also known as exocoetidae.
New Zealand is the best country in the world in my opinion
It's by far the most beautiful
Haha just finished a holiday in NZ from Ireland

Australia is better IMO
StandoffSiren02 Australia was voted one of the worst tourist destinations in the world, due to arrogance, ignorance and rudeness. Also, Australia got upset when Jeremy said he doesn't like holdens.
