@bencollinsdrives what if we have just witnessed a new Form of TG? It bl**dy works, all these YTs are great and produce what is, modern content, content we want to watch in their own right, and are/becoming the new hero’s around cars, if I ever meet these guys I want an selfie, it’s celeb status in fact. But having a meet up from time to time to do this fun stuff, works so well, and has a great nostalgic feel to it at the same time, that we all know and love, well done mr Collins making it happen!
True, but you can fix them so... equilibrium!? You do have natural speed. *Do a race series and gain some mindset to hone that to perfection. *Video series idea, hint hint.
the driving incompetence shown was incredible. Invited to drive by stig *Absolutely dices gerbox* *closes eyes and laughs* ... hope you paid for those cars
How come the BBC can't replicate the old magic, yet TH-cam once again delivers some epic viewing. I've not laughed so much through a lap of Dunsfold in years. Watching the OG Stig teach these boys the lap is pure nostalgia . I can't wait for another dose of this . 10/10 A*+
I Alex kowaliuk believe the old magic was the edgy conservative guys that started that show , Nobody will ever be able to mimic that exact experience because that time is gone it's no longer accepted to be a man.
The real problem is and I’m sure Ben could say it as well even though he won’t because the BBC would probably sue him for it but the politics of BBC can’t do much right now a days let alone make another epic show like TopGear
For reference: hre’s the new F1 driver leaderboard: 1. Daniel Riciardo, 1m42.2s 2. Lewis Hamilton, 1m42.9s 3. Mark Webber, 1m43.1s 4. Sebastian Vettel, 1m44.0s 5. Rubens Barrichello, 1m44.3s 6. The Stig (white), 1m44.4s 7. Nigel Mansell, 1m44.6s 8. Lewis Hamilton (damp, oily), 1m44.7s 9. Jenson Button (HOT), 1m44.7s 10. The Stig (black), 1m46.0s 11. Kimi Raikkonen (very wet), 1m46.1s 12. Damon Hill, 1m46.3s 13. Mark Webber (very wet), 1m47.1s
Some of these would be old Gambon corner. New Gambon would be slightly faster times. I wish we had a measure of how much faster the newer Gambon corner is, I am guessing 0.2-0.4s
Ben is truly embracing the TH-cam world and quickly becoming the father of all automotive TH-camrs. We are past the "Stig" era, it's Ben Collins whose name should be known
If the BBC ever needed a demonstration of why TH-cam will kill it off, this was it. Best thing I’ve seen for years, and there is some GREAT car content out there.
No Ben Collins makes good interesting videos TH-cam could never kill off live schedule TV I can't believe people actually stupid enough to think that. Also one of the glaring problems with TH-cam videos even Ben Collins or drivetribe is there all too short this particular video was perfect the way it was. But it would never replace the level of interest that a program like top gear or grand tour producers. At the end of the day whilst kids nowadays like all these short tiktok videos they are short live and they won't live on end of story because people want programs that last more than 12 minutes
@@BenCollinsDrivesyes TH-cam does rock. But please as well as these short videos for normal people that have a brain and concentration span can you make some actual programs that are longer than 12 15 minutes. And don't discount television television will never die it will always be more popular than the internet. And I'm sure you could get a TV series which is what you need and what we need. Because TH-cam videos whilst being amazing I generally not as well produced and way way too short. Because you make such interesting videos it's incredibly frustrating that they are too short
1:44.0 - Sebastian Vettel 1:44.3 - Rubens Barrichello 1:44.4 - The Stig II 1:44.6 - Nigel Mansell 1:44.7 - Lewis Hamilton 1:44.7 - Jenson Button 1:44.9 - Jenson Button ---- 1:44.9 - Matt Armstrong ---- 1:46.0 - The Stig I (Perry McCarthy) (not listed on F1 board) 1:46.1 - Kimi Räikkönen 1:46.3 - Damon Hill Damn Matt was fast.
The only silver lining of TG being cancelled is BC being able to make videos at Dunsfold with the Liana using all the original camera angles. I cannot wait for more content like this 😃
Love to make this a regular thing - hopefully this format proves popular and I can reel in some more volunteers! (The Suzukis are being prepped as I type)
Actual proof that a certain program was all downhill when they got rid of this format. So happy to see some laps in the reasonably priced car on THIS track again! I hope this channel absolutely blows up because with a budget we could be seeing some seriously great car content again.
Google 'suzuki liana top gear lap times' to see the old laps. Matt is up there above everyone on the standard board, and within a hair of many of the worlds best drivers for dry lap times. Considering he suffered in a few places from the faulty brakes, and never got that 2nd to last corner right, his time is seriously impressive. This kind of challenge levels the playing field, and Matt clearly has the mindset to compete at the top. Well done Matt.
Did Matt go around the actual track though without cutting corners etc? It seems fairly evident that the way he was driving he was leaving seconds on the track suggesting that the old leader board isn't really comparable. In fact I'd be willing to bet at least 75% of the difference between this pairs laps were down to the self evidently "just about to die" engine the first car had. Ben kept telling him he was in 5th and he was saying the car had no power...then they swapped and it died completely.
Awesome! Once all the influences have had their turns there should be a grand final with the top 2. Hopefully we can see the likes of Shmee, AutoAlex and crew, Top Dead Centre, etc.
What an amazing video and it's slightly surreal that years later some of us actually get a chance to interact with Ben in the comments! The version of me a decade ago would have been thrilled and the current version still is!! Thanks for the content ❤
This is what post-Clarkson Top Gear should have been. Collins at the helm with Matt, Ben and Tavarish doing silly things with cars makes for a great video.
If Mat had actually pulled out a clean lap and kept it on the track through Gambon he could of a had a killer time. Bloody impressive as it was. I can't wait to see Freddy next!
Ben it has been an honor being subscribed to you anyway but this video was almost emotional and i bet it was more than that for you, we missed so much of you in Top Gear knowing you now 😊
Ben, im absolutely loving the channel. Your a great presenter and such a laugh. Is this going to be a series now with all the TH-camrs because if it is im hooked for life. Although all your other stuff is great too but this is on another level. Keep it up as i think this is going to be fantastic for the future
YES!!! Please keep this going! This is a great mix of the show we all grew up with and loved and the car journalists of the youtube generation. I cant wait for the next episode!
I'm made up for you @MatArmstrongbmx, you must have been pig sick that it took you 3 car builds to beat his Lambo. Great Channel @BenCollinsDrives, one of my favourites. We have been waiting too long for this to make a comeback - possibly better than the original.
I must have done this circut a thousand times on Forza 4 back in the day and have seen every episode of TG. This was so fun to see the little Suzuki go around again. It would be amazing to see this become a regular feature on the channel!
It’s been a great couple days on TH-cam. Yesterday we got Mythbusters-like collaboration from Adam Savage and today we get the Liana on the Top Gear test track with The Stig.
You got to admit for a person who hadn`t been on the track before to do a lap that was within a second of yours ben was awesome. Yeah Matt is mental, a very good video enjoyed all of it and seeing Tavarish`s lap also. a big thanks.
The fact that the zuki is still at it after all this time is amazing. Could you imagine being the engineer who designed it and the pride you would feel?
Looking forward to Broadbent vs Misha vs Steve, the Bilstein GT4 crew. Hope you grabbed Misha while he was over. You're the best, Ben., and I wish nothing but the best for this channel. Nobody deserves it more IMO.
So good to see that track again. Also, Ben; Not bad gearshifts. Just remember; 3 is up-up from 2. You never ever have to push the stick right. It self centers.
What a fantastic video!! Matt making the Stig proud, but also scared 😅. "Where's the corner? " Too many good lines have come out of this video, I'm sure it will make for amazing memes too!! Well done guys 👍❤
This was such a good idea, thank you Ben for such an amazing show you lot put out here. More of it please. I dont know about legal stuff and funds but imagine getting the same camera shots as the show did, and a TH-camr's time board. Maybe get subscribers to win a place on the board as well. Im in, although i have MS but id give the liana a good go 😂
Some say he started a youtube career 10 years ago but didn’t upload anything until eight, years ago… And that he once got schooled by a sim racer from a shed… All we know is; he’s not The Stig. But he’s The Stig’s not-so-mysterious cousin!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 EPIC!! Looks like you all had a great time, it was funny, nostalgic, entertaining - well done to all involved. Can definitely see a series if that’s possible (and I don’t mean how many times can Mat break and fix the same car - great skills though Mat, rough diamond there). As well as names already mentioned - how about your mates Freddie, I’m sure Tyler and Ed would love it too. Hey Ben, how about an avid channel viewer too (hint hint)? 😅 Thanks very much, can’t wait for the next one 🤩
Amazing series potential Ben, would love to see the Auto Alex group on, (Alex, Taylor, Tom lenthal, TDC etc..) it’s strange, I never particularly liked the interview sections of the original show, but with you hosting it’s given me nostalgia for the track and angles, yet improved on the original format, Long live The Sitg, Dunsfold, and the Liana
Are TG looking for new presenters? this could work, love the banter, love the chemistry.....Stig teaching the guys how to really drive their supercars would be epic...imagine a road trip with this crowd.....looking forward to Freddy's lap..
Love that video. Matt was fast and very close to Tom's time and Ben's. Massive disadvantage with no ABS also. Great video once again. I've been watching your driving for years, and you should have been presenting for years more.
That was great - just subscribed. Also I always thought it might be fun to have a feature that competed with 'star in a reasonably priced car' with something like 'Ned in a fast car'.... make it happen and screw health and safety!

Pure nostalgia. The track, the car, the Stig. It's like it's the early 00's again,
A lot of the camera shots of the car going around could be straight from the show. Crazy just how an early 00's car can bring that vibe entirely
@@SWatchikyeah for sure. I got actual chills from some of the wide shots. I did not expect to be watching Suzuki Liana laps happening in 2024!
More to follow - the question is: who should be next ..?
@@BenCollinsDrives Hammond, Mike, and Izzy. Or you v Perry McCarthy in a Stig v Stig battle. Also AutoAlex and Jack & Ethan.
AND ACROSS THE LINE!
Even the camera angles makes this feel like its straight out of old Top Gear. Epic.
I just know Ben told them where every camera was set up, how the day should run, all that. So nostalgic!
even the camera quality is garbage, fits perfectly.
How come the BBC can't replicate the old magic, yet TH-cam once again delivers some epic viewing. I've not laughed so much through a lap of Dunsfold in years. Watching the OG Stig teach these boys the lap is pure nostalgia . I can't wait for another dose of this . 10/10 A*+

I Alex kowaliuk believe the old magic was the edgy conservative guys that started that show , Nobody will ever be able to mimic that exact experience because that time is gone it's no longer accepted to be a man.
They should hire Ben Collins as the new lead presenter for Top Gear immediately and pay him lots of money.
The real problem is and I’m sure Ben could say it as well even though he won’t because the BBC would probably sue him for it but the politics of BBC can’t do much right now a days let alone make another epic show like TopGear

i scrolled too far to see this, upvote
I think the F1 car must have used different tires and if you check the mot history it has upgraded brake pads. 1 min 45 is very fast
Some of these would be old Gambon corner. New Gambon would be slightly faster times. I wish we had a measure of how much faster the newer Gambon corner is, I am guessing 0.2-0.4s

That lap time from Mat sits comfortably with the F1 drivers' times... impressive!

Can definitely see a series if that’s possible (and I don’t mean how many times can Mat break and fix the same car - great skills though Mat, rough diamond there).
As well as names already mentioned - how about your mates Freddie, I’m sure Tyler and Ed would love it too.
Hey Ben, how about an avid channel viewer too (hint hint)? 😅
Thanks very much, can’t wait for the next one 🤩
Amazing series potential Ben, would love to see the Auto Alex group on, (Alex, Taylor, Tom lenthal, TDC etc..) it’s strange, I never particularly liked the interview sections of the original show, but with you hosting it’s given me nostalgia for the track and angles, yet improved on the original format, Long live The Sitg, Dunsfold, and the Liana
Are TG looking for new presenters? this could work, love the banter, love the chemistry.....Stig teaching the guys how to really drive their supercars would be epic...imagine a road trip with this crowd.....looking forward to Freddy's lap..
I deliver to Suzuki and seen the cars parked up. Nice to see them back in action . Thanks Ben
Excellent video Ben, it was like being on a day out with your mates 👍🏻
Great Show Ben! Thx for sharing! Liana brings back some good memories... 😁
Genuinly Really awsome video, look forward to Tavarish's lap I'd love to see AutoAlex crew do this aswell
That was great, long shot of the liana brought it all back, can't wait for more. You will have youtubers queueing up to do this!
Having grown up with top gear as my all time favorite show. I envy the guy's opportunity to get a driving lesson from the Stig. So lucky!
Enjoyed that, thanks Ben 👌
Love that video. Matt was fast and very close to Tom's time and Ben's.
Massive disadvantage with no ABS also.
Great video once again. I've been watching your driving for years, and you should have been presenting for years more.
You are the Stig, not the ex-stig. Doesn't matter who Top Gear puts in the suit. Awesome video.
I love the fact that @tavarish got to the top gear track, clearly a massive inspiration for him to do his journey all these years.
Time to get all TH-camrs now. Look forward to autoalex crew doing this 💪
That was great - just subscribed. Also I always thought it might be fun to have a feature that competed with 'star in a reasonably priced car' with something like 'Ned in a fast car'.... make it happen and screw health and safety!
WOW Mat was up there with the F1 guys, amazing. Loved this Ben, can't wait to see more, like the old times.
Matt is the Antithesis of Jenson Button's driving style. Cant stop hacking at the wheel.
