A great video crying out for a Abbie flying lap with her describing how and why. That way we get to watch and learn too. More Abbie please for 2025... She's such a great combination of instruction and encouragement...
Could do some great segments having Abbie set the last time and then have Izzie and Mike see how close they can come to it...just like they used to do on that other car show that used to be kind of popular.
One BIG problem is that most people don't actually realise just HOW quickly a sorted car cn be driven - especially braking distances and peak cornering loadings. Izzy didn't know the car's potential, but if Miss Eaton took her around on a "hot" lap she's understand, better, that she doesn't need to be afraid of the car. As an aside, it was said that Mr tiger Woods bought a turbo' Porsche, and had a track instructor take him out in it. Mr Woods then sold the car because he realised it was SO much quicker than he could ever be, it was just wasted on him - or some-such reason.
Yep especially with some older cars letting the shifter center itself before actually going for 2-3 or 5-4 is key. That was great advice for a new nervous trackday driver, as well as telling them the - 0.25 seconds doesn't matter on a trackday when an engine rebuild is the consequence of getting it wrong!
Chopping 15 seconds off an already short lap is quite the achievement for one day! Excellent instructor with a dedicated driver willing and able to learn, great stuff!
For anybody else struggling from second to third gear don't try to steer the gearstick into third. Simply put your fingers behind the stick and push forward to get it into neutral. Stop pushing forward. The gearstick will automatically sit between third and fourth gear. Keeping your fingers behind the gearstick just push it forward again. Don't try to move the stick to the right to find third. It will automatically go to the right and sit in the perfect position.
The problem is that you are sitting on the wrong side of the shifter. If you were sitting in the proper side, You never will money shift even if you hold the lever tight.
Should have had Abbie do a lap to show what Stanley is capable of. I have always felt people do not understand what the car is capable of until someone who really knows what they are doing shows them. Not too mention, it gives the new driver a goal to chase after. 😉
Abbie is able to identify areas to work on, discuss and direct at appropriate levels with clear and understandable sentences- a difficult skill to master. Well done Abbie
impressive job Ladies!...Izzy.. youre on a track..much more controlled environment than on the road... with the best safety systems in the world around you, leave your fears at the gate! and push push push!...youre not pushing enough until you go off track!...youve got this!
Can confirm that the Getrag 6 speed can be a bit finicky, defo worth looking at the spring though, 3rd and 4th should be the safest changes in the box!
LUBE YOUR GEAR SHIFTER CABLES... If the gearbox feels a bit reluctant to shift into gear, it shouldn't! The gearbox of these has a nice shift (although the gates are a bit tight). I have an '06 R53 and when I first bought it the gear shifting was rubbish. Turns out the rubber boots fail where the shift cables attach to the box and over time water and road salt get on the to the cables which causes them to get tight in the sleaves. If you lift out the airbox and ECU mount, you can access the linkages. Get a load of penetrating oil on them and work it in, and also some grease on the shift arms etc. (ideally also replace the rubber boots). That should make a really marked difference to how the gearbox feels.
Ok so nobody can ever replace Hammond, Clarkson and May… the BBC tried and failed miserably. However is this a glimpse into the future both Abbie and Izzy are naturals in front of the camera 🤔
you mean mike is the car seller from Edd china's show where he fixed cars. He was totally unnecesary and everybody watched how Edd fixed the car not how the other guy fake selled the cars.
How Hammondish would it be if someone suggested a race contest between Dad Hammond and Daughter Hammond????? But only after Izzy has spent at least 30 days of Track time and instruction with Abbie..... Then, let the contest of fastest lap time in Izzys car begin....... It must be done now...... Or has the Hampster retired himself??????

The channel cries for more ABBIE.
Would love to see Abbie do a lap
Yeah, why didn't she?
@@getawayhs2856 Don't want to steal the glory on the moment form Izzy.
@BadBoyV1 it wouldn't it would give her a target time
@@jay-rk1ve Abbie is a pro. Her time wouldn't be a target so much as an insurmountable goal for someone as new as Izzy.
@@JGuraan Get her Dad to do a lap instead? :P
Some proper driving right there. Abbie is such a wealth of knowledge, and Izzy definitely picks it up quickly.
Happy to see Abbie back in these sort of videos. Loved her advice on the shifting, shows the experience Abbie has accumulated.
Yep especially with some older cars letting the shifter center itself before actually going for 2-3 or 5-4 is key.

So awesome to see Abbie back in the saddle so to speak. and Amazing work Izzy! always good to see a Hammond who doesn't crash!
It's awesome to see Abbie back in a car after her injury! Great video!
Izzy is a natural presenter, just like her father. It's been great seeing this content!
Get her on a new top gear show! 🤣
new top gear presenter identified. make top gear great again...@@PAUL-MH
0:30 Abbie with the yawn 🥱! 🤣
Her little “Jeremy Clarkson” moment when she says “power” 😂 she has the best uncles in May and Clarkson!!!!
Chopping 15 seconds off an already short lap is quite the achievement for one day! Excellent instructor with a dedicated driver willing and able to learn, great stuff!
maybe not fair but don't really think we needed the random shots of mike stood at the side of the track but great work from izzy
Agreed. Sounds mean, but Mike really didn't need to be in this video.
@@samfletcher93 Poor Mike... At least he got a cold drink.
Yes they are so fake. Piece to camera edited in later. Cheesy, best not give up the day job and become an actor.
Fully agree, just skipped that.
For anybody else struggling from second to third gear don't try to steer the gearstick into third. Simply put your fingers behind the stick and push forward to get it into neutral.

for a better experience, skip 0:57 to 3:56, and 5:10 to 5:23, and 6:39 to 6:53, 9:12-9:14, and 9:17-9:25
Abbie isn't just an awesome instructor and racer. She's a right laugh and such a lovely person!
Aaaaand acroossss the line!!!
1:15 Is Izzy in there somewhere?! All I see is a giant purple coat 😂
Haven’t seen Abbie in a while. Glad to see she’s doing well and fully recovered.
Should have had Abbie do a lap to show what Stanley is capable of. I have always felt people do not understand what the car is capable of until someone who really knows what they are doing shows them. Not too mention, it gives the new driver a goal to chase after. 😉

Izzy couldn't of asked for a better instructor than Abbie. She's proper top notch
Missed chance to not give Abbie a lap at the end for comparison and inspiration for baby hamster.
mega improvement there, Abbie was a hell of a coach
Abbie - Legend :)
So nice to see Abbie interacting with Izzy. Abbie has such a great smile, and her personality is very endearing. Am loving seeing these two together 😊
Abbie reminds me oof Kimi Raikkonen. She could be his sister. Abbie has that cold assertive cool eyes but still feminine and pretty.
Can we get monthly Abbie segments, I'd LOVE THAT 🎉
Abbie is terrific. The way she handled the issue with the gearshift was just on another level.
Someone has Daddy's face when they are really looking at the track LOL. Well Done Izzy!
Captain Slow getting lessons fro Sir Jackie Stewart was one of my favourite Top Gear moments
The Abbie and Izzy content is so good
💯 %
💖💖
need more of abbie, never really got to see her personality in TGT but her and izzy seemed to have great chemistry
Always great seeing Abbie on the channel.
Izzy: ABBIE I'M SCARED!!!
Abbie: :D
Aw I was waiting for Abbie’s lap. 😂
Awesome coaching Abbie! Reminds me of times when I used to coach.
Great video, bought my ticket for next years DriveTribe show
One of the best things that came out the grand tour was them bringing Abbie onboard.
Abbie rock! Calm, composed and pro all the way, while adjusting the steering wheel on critical parts of the track!
Well done Izzy, it is great to see Abbie back. Well done guys.
you go Izzy! Great to see Abbie again as well!
Excellent Izzy, great improvement. All the best for the next step
It's great to see Stanley back on track! 💙💙
The Grand Tour better sign the contract with Izzy now to carry the torch of her dad into the future!!!!
Excellent Izzy very well done and brilliiant tuitoring from Abbi too.
impressive job Ladies!...Izzy.. youre on a track..much more controlled environment than on the road... with the best safety systems in the world around you, leave your fears at the gate! and push push push!...youre not pushing enough until you go off track!...youve got this!
Well done Izzy! Awesome coaching Abbey.
I am convinced Izzy wants to go racing at some point, would be amazing to see! Enjoyed watching this one
Absolutely love this! More Abbie and Izzy!! 💖💖
I'd love to see more of Abi teaching Izzy how to drive proper!
Izzy and Abbie are a great combo!!
Imagine she learns drifting fast and runs rings, unlike Richard 😂
Are we sure this is Richard's kid? It also looked like she didn't have a SINGLE wreck!
Last time I sad Abbie was after her crash, glad she is doing alright!
Abbie seems like a good coach ,i like the way she also uses her hands to communicate as well as voice .Id love to have her teach me il be a new champ
Great to see both Izzy and Abbie on here
Shaving off 16 seconds over the course of a day would feel incredible as a driver. Great job Izzy 🎉
Abbie really is good, comes across as a really fun person too!
Beautifully done Izzy nice work there ...that feeling afterwards must have great proud moment 😜🥰no better car to practice in I think ...
Can confirm that the Getrag 6 speed can be a bit finicky, defo worth looking at the spring though, 3rd and 4th should be the safest changes in the box!
Abbie is a phenomenal instructor.
When youve got a professional at both the topic AND instructing at your side.....nothing you can't master!
Did Izzy steal that jacket from Clarkson? That thing's a tent.
Abbie is awesome ❤❤ The man commenter I could have lived without
Dito!
you're cringe
I no longer watch because of the guy commentator,his voice really annoys ,shame as i like Richard 😢
@@davidlloyd-cx3er i miss lucy.
Fabulous. I am so jealous of these opportunities.
being sponsored by energy drinks is like being sponsored by cigarrettes, its all poison
Happy to see Abby again

I'm guna call it... I think Izzy is guna be one of the next Grand Tour Presenters. I think She would do a cracking job :)
Mike: I participated!
i love Abbies Nonchalantness.
I'd love to see an 'Abbie vs Ben' timed laps🫣
way to go Izzy and Abbie, another session in the dry is very much called for I think(much better than her dad Izzy kept the car the right way up lol)
love it, shes doing great, keep it up mini hamster
Bring back The Grand Tour in a couple years. 3 new hosts including Izzy, and have the OG's for specials
is it ever, not.....raining there? 😂😂
Wales for you, Anglesey is the same, Always a wet lap😂😂
well done Izz, from Australia !!
stiffer engine/trans mounts will help with the gear changes.
If all driving instructors were like Abby, the roads would be much safer with drivers having better skill sets.
Sequential box next on the cards? 😂
Abbie! We need more Abbie!
Ok so nobody can ever replace Hammond, Clarkson and May… the BBC tried and failed miserably. However is this a glimpse into the future both Abbie and Izzy are naturals in front of the camera 🤔
Izzy had a money shift, you're not a real driver until you've had a money shift. Great job Izzy.
I'm glad to see Izzy didnt do like her dad and give it the ol Scandinavian Flick. lol
I have no idea why, but my initial interpretation of the title was: when AE arrived, she turned out to be even slower than IH.
Mike reminds me of that mitchell and Webb sketch..
Not a fan 😢
you mean mike is the car seller from Edd china's show where he fixed cars. He was totally unnecesary and everybody watched how Edd fixed the car not how the other guy fake selled the cars.
I can just hear the ghost of Richard Hammond telling Izzy she's doing great. What? He's still alive? He hasn't drove off another cliff yet?
What can I say' Izzy Hammond, on the coat tails of her father! Like a cheap ebay version, not for me. Hammond, Clarkson, May, legends to the end 😘
So when is izzy joining the smallest cog team?
Perfect!
When she is 60 like her dad
How Hammondish would it be if someone suggested a race contest between Dad Hammond and Daughter Hammond?????
But only after Izzy has spent at least 30 days of Track time and instruction with Abbie.....
Then, let the contest of fastest lap time in Izzys car begin.......
It must be done now......
Or has the Hampster retired himself??????
Abby is amazing, Izzy is obviously has Richard's blood.
Aaa the beauty of the English countryside
How exciting!
I think there should be a Father Dauther challenge to see who can do the quickest lap in the mini on a dry day.
Amazing improvement - many congrat's to each lady!
Might have been fun to stick Richard in it, too - especially if she beat him 😉
Already better than dad, it finished on its wheels
Well, she hasn't crashed, so already she's a better driver than her dad
Well done!
More Abbie 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Between Abbe and Ben, they'll turn the Hammond's into a proper racing family (though Richard had a bit of a head start)
id love to see an episode with the sun out😂
