Experiencing understeer in Monaco circuit must be one of the worst feeling in the world. You only can pray it is not bad enough to make you end up in the wall.
And they only set up the full international circuit (FE uses the pit straight, cuts over and u turns in the Nouvelle Chicane and through the swimming pool) for the F1 weekend. Only F1 drivers are usually able to drive on it when closed off.
Those were the times. Who could have predicted in 2011 that only 6 years later some stupid "94Y" corporation will buy F1 and remove grid girls from the track?
When I was a boy watching this on DVD, I had no idea who any of the 'tutors' were. Now, having become a fan of F1, it's crazy to look back on these earlier encounters.
4:08 Jeremy talking about the danger of the circuit, saying 'Fine, dead' one corner away from where Lorenzo Bandini was killed in 1967. That's deep, man.

This is the best episode of this season. Lots of people have driven the monaco track in video games but there is nothing like being there in person. Its no wonder Jeremy did so well he's been there before unlike James and Richard.
I love seeing Jeremy Clarkson turn into a boy realizing his dream, and taking it so seriously. THAT was CHARMING and WONDERFUL. My favorite part of the whole series.
Yeah. Monaco doesn’t have income tax, a very high cost of living. 30% are millionaires. They only set up the full international circuit once a year for the F1 GP, so many of those people are also in town for the race (one of the most prestigious races in all of motorsport).
It's so funny watching this after watching the Monaco Grand Prix. You forget how fast F1 cars are, this looks like a relaxing Sunday drive in comparison!
Usually these three won't shut their yaps without disgracing each other after having the results of their race but this. This race was more than a race. It will be a memorial for their life to cross that finish line
The forward facing camera onboard footage reminds me of that old video of Monaco Gran Prix in the old days... this was nostalgic... how lucky Jeremy, Richard and James are...

Antony Hamilton "Flavio Briatore is an Italian businessman. He started his career as a restaurant manager and insurance salesman in Italy." yeah he's italian, though I could see how you think his accent is french
That italien couch was the team principal of renault. He won two championships together with fernando alonso. Then he got banned for life for ordering nelson piquet jr to crash deliberately to force a saftey car so alonso could take a win in singapore 2008 that man is an asshole
