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!
Most people could probably also achieve that though by doing the same things i.e. learning the racing line and visual clues for braking points, the number of downshifts for each corner. The real coaching happens when she can lap consistently.
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
Abbie was so relaxed you'd think she was having tea with the Royals! Never shouted, never looked afraid, gave great tips and just looked at the scenery once or twice too. So cool to watch.
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. 😉
I'll never sell my R53. It checked all of my boxes in a car. Zippy, fun, sporty, roomy, fuel economy, aftermarket parts, fan clubs, etc. To see one here is a blessing. They're So Much Fun!
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.
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!
Why does this make make nostalgic for a certain chap named James May being shown the ropes by Sir Jackie Stewart?? Now all we need to do is get Abbie and Izzy some proper titles, Dame Abbie and Lady Izzy, has a nice ring to it 🙂
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!

The channel cries for more ABBIE.
Abbie is a phenomenal instructor. Great work, Izzy!
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.

Also 1st normally takes more effort to engage at speed, so if it feels too much effort, it's probably the wrong gear.

Some proper driving right there. Abbie is such a wealth of knowledge, and Izzy definitely picks it up quickly.
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
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!
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
It's awesome to see Abbie back in a car after her injury! Great video!
0:30 Abbie with the yawn 🥱! 🤣
I love the way that racing instructors can give such a patient running commentary feed of information.
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
Her little “Jeremy Clarkson” moment when she says “power” 😂 she has the best uncles in May and Clarkson!!!!
Haven’t seen Abbie in a while. Glad to see she’s doing well and fully recovered.
Abbie isn't just an awesome instructor and racer. She's a right laugh and such a lovely person!
Captain Slow getting lessons fro Sir Jackie Stewart was one of my favourite Top Gear moments
Aaaaand acroossss the line!!!
@5:02 “I’m going quite fast?!” Had me laughing out loud, love the energy keep up the great work and your know your making you Pap proud.
The Izzy videos are great. I really enjoy when she's on the channel.
Can we get monthly Abbie segments, I'd LOVE THAT 🎉
Abbie has been just a wonderful person in everything, just shows how natural she is helping Izzy. We need more Abbie content just love her.
I love to see Izzy in her new Mini. I watched them build it in the workshop.😅
1:15 Is Izzy in there somewhere?! All I see is a giant purple coat 😂
Abbie! We need more Abbie!
I am SO GLAD to see Abby again. Her recovery is such an inspiration.
Abbie was so relaxed you'd think she was having tea with the Royals! Never shouted, never looked afraid, gave great tips and just looked at the scenery once or twice too. So cool to watch.
mega improvement there, Abbie was a hell of a coach
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.
Abbie - Legend :)
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. 😉
Love seeing Abbie again. Missed her in GT over the past few seasons.
I’m am always so happy to see Abbie pop in. I hope she gets to do more with Drivetribe.
Well done both. Coaching someone who learns that quickly is soooo much fun.
Again, great to see Izzy and Abbie, great learner/presenter and teacher chemistry, I sense great things ahead for Izzy
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.
Dark haired Petrolhead is mandatory when burning oil. Maybe in some electric countries is fine for two girls have fun alone by themselves.
Abbie is terrific. The way she handled the issue with the gearshift was just on another level.
Izzy is looking like she enjoys this racing hobby, even with the comments of fear. Awesome. Thanks 😊
Wow !! Abbie is a great instructor 😎👍
Missed chance to not give Abbie a lap at the end for comparison and inspiration for baby hamster.
Excellent tuition @AbbieEaton and great driving after sorting those gear changes, Izzy.
😊
need more of abbie, never really got to see her personality in TGT but her and izzy seemed to have great chemistry
Magnificent entertainment. Both of these gals are engaging to watch
Always great seeing Abbie on the channel.
I want to see Izzy, Abbie, and the French girl who was giving Jeremy the finger while racing doing The Grand Tour.
Izzy couldn't of asked for a better instructor than Abbie. She's proper top notch
Awesome coaching Abbie! Reminds me of times when I used to coach.
you go Izzy! Great to see Abbie again as well!
Abbie rock! Calm, composed and pro all the way, while adjusting the steering wheel on critical parts of the track!
I'll never sell my R53. It checked all of my boxes in a car. Zippy, fun, sporty, roomy, fuel economy, aftermarket parts, fan clubs, etc. To see one here is a blessing. They're So Much Fun!
I love Mike's genuine enthusiasm
Well done Izzy, it is great to see Abbie back. Well done guys.
It's great to see Stanley back on track! 💙💙
Izzy learning how to race is awesome! Gives me hope that I could learn 😅
One of the best things that came out the grand tour was them bringing Abbie onboard.
Excellent Izzy, great improvement. All the best for the next step

@@majortom4543😂😂😂 i love the phrase “wrong side” i hear it all the time here!
Just the basis of humility 😂😂😂😂
@@eddiebezzell The thing is it isnt the right side just because its on the right side of the car. Humility has to come after logic.
@@majortom4543 lol what utter nonsense.
@@eddiebezzell But you have to agree. Many people will use that as an argument for RHD cars.
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!
The Abbie and Izzy content is so good
💯 %
💖💖
So cool seeing Izzy learning, plus there was a Hammond name on the side of the car before, could be Izzy or Richard 😊
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!! 💖💖
Great video, bought my ticket for next years DriveTribe show
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.
Well done Izzy! Awesome coaching Abbey.
Great to see both Izzy and Abbie on here
Excellent Izzy very well done and brilliiant tuitoring from Abbi too.
Izzy and Abbie are a great combo!!
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
Nice to see abbie recovered
Beautifully done Izzy nice work there ...that feeling afterwards must have great proud moment 😜🥰no better car to practice in I think ...
The Grand Tour better sign the contract with Izzy now to carry the torch of her dad into the future!!!!
Love the San Diego Padres hat. Never thought I'd see that. Welcome to the Friar Faithful!
Fabulous. I am so jealous of these opportunities.
Last time I sad Abbie was after her crash, glad she is doing alright!
Aw I was waiting for Abbie’s lap. 😂
“3rd gear, TAKE YOUR TIME.”
Abbie cracked me up with that. 😂
Shaving off 16 seconds over the course of a day would feel incredible as a driver. Great job Izzy 🎉
I'd love to see more of Abi teaching Izzy how to drive proper!
Oh, Abbie, the greatest, Eaton. Listen to her, she sure knows what shes is on about.
This is a great video format.
Why does this make make nostalgic for a certain chap named James May being shown the ropes by Sir Jackie Stewart?? Now all we need to do is get Abbie and Izzy some proper titles, Dame Abbie and Lady Izzy, has a nice ring to it 🙂
Oh, right. The nice Scottish lady. 😉
Abbie really is good, comes across as a really fun person too!
Fifteen seconds on a short track like that is incredibly impressive.
Happy to see Abby again
Amazing how she's natural entertainer. Runs in the family. If there was Grand Tour reboot... She has my vote
I've seen a few videos in the local area to Llandow, be great to see a video showing some of the roads of South Wales
Come on Abbie! What a legend!
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!
Mike: I participated!
Abbie, what a teacher
We love Abbie!!!
Abbie is a phenomenal instructor.
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!
Brilliant well done.
We need to see Abbie do a lap for you to beat
What a duo 😂 W
Stellar job!
Great to see Abby up and around after her accident
Kudos on sporting the San Diego cap!
