I wonder if anyone had told may about Solberg and his history of crashing over his career, he's crashed so many times one nickname he ended up with was Henning Roll-berg.
Crashed into some trees in finland, mowed down like 4 of them, got out of the car smiling and laughing and said "this is how you cut trees! " What a character
@@strahinjastevic7480 it takes a totally different bread to drive rally. It's the art of going flat out through a one way road with no shoulders and massive drops covered with anything but asphalt in the middle of the boonies is some eastern European country in a Fiesta with 500 horsepower and a roll cage. You can't be sane to do that.
I think there needs to be some appreciation for that fantastic Bobsleigh team! And Hammond being able to get the ropes so quickly and not slowing them down too much.
this is 15 years ago, James looks like he's aged 25 years tho and 4:41 always fires me up, the combination of the rally car going flat out and the tense music just gets me
+Aleron Adams First, it's not real. Second, they can't show him crossing the line and pushing the button at the same time, so they have to show the button second; even if it was real, they'd have to do that. It's like showing the sled and the car crossing the line...just because they show the sled crossing first doesn't mean that the sled won...just that they can't show them both crossing together easily.
+justforever96 What's not real? May riding shotgun? I have the Revved Up DVD (which reveals the secrets to being a TG presenter) and this challenge represents bravery in the sense that they get no stunt doubles.

Rob Dougan's "Speed Me Towards Death" and "Mona Lisa Overdrive" by Don Davis and Juno Reactor were the perfect choices for this clip. I'm still tingling from watching the race!
I was drinking my Coke when James said "I can't take lectures on physics from a man in tights, dancing yes, physics no." and it shot out my nose James really was the best presenter on Top Gear

That driving skill is beyond the scale!!!

@@whovianhistorybuff You do realize hes a druggie right?
@@whovianhistorybuff still a average speed of nearly 120km/h on icy roads
Solberg was the greatest. And anyway all great drivers have to crash sometimes.
You really can't take anything away from Solberg though. 2000 meters on ice in 62 seconds.
That makes 116,1 km/h on average on freaking ice!
@@basbas63 That's a simply devastating performance.
Not on ice, Henning was one of the best in the world in those conditions. The man has no fears, he is nuts!

cant afford to lose 3 centimeters
cracked me
Yeah, but some centimeters are more important than others ! 😜
😂
This is how to make proper Top Gear episodes: world class (Olympic) bobsled team versus WRC driver
That's why Top Gear is a world class show
Was*
@@bigTTTTT :(
Not anymore😢
Now: Man talks about cars! Races a bit.
@@bigTTTTT I love the competition between different sports and just getting to the finish.
May's facial expressions are priceless
+Kieran White
Truly, I tell you: James aged a few months during that minute!
;-D
sardanaphalus Yes! I'd imagine this gave him a few grey hairs! lol
It would have been much worse if he also had to do the pace notes
And as sincere and authentic as it gets :D
Mays' expression at 5:44 says it all.
I love how bobsledding and rally give equally crazy vibes, like thats the perfect combo of "amount of crazy you need to be to do this sport"
"You would have to be brave, stupid, or just desperate to be on tv... Soooo this is where I'll be sitting"😂
Top Gear during its golden era.
Yeah dude it got so shit, these were the days
I think there needs to be some appreciation for that fantastic Bobsleigh team!
And Hammond being able to get the ropes so quickly and not slowing them down too much.
for real though that was legit impressive! Hammond being able to mount at the same time as the Olympic team and not slow them down deserves mad props!
Came for Evo, stayed for Evo.
DrathVader hello there
DrathVader Drath?
this is 15 years ago, James looks like he's aged 25 years tho

The song is called Mona Lisa overdrive
@@Unknown-ht6jy From the Matrix Reloaded, no less.
That driving was God mode activated.
Next time, throw the rally car down the bobsleigh track please.
Not likely
3 years late, but here you go ruclips.net/video/mUaJVp85jDQ/видео.html
They did ^
@@hmslc8289 you can find absolutely anything on the internet
The car would spin out
That's still impressive. The car was 2 seconds slower than the bobsled.
I think if someone with a stopwatch was at the car finish line instead of James, the race might have ended differently.
More than 2 seconds.
Average speed of 116 kmh
WOW THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THE EXACT TIME MATE. LAST TIME I LOOK AT THE COMMENTS WHEN I AM WATCHING A FUCKING VIDEO.
@@egeaslan5872 Snape kills Dumbledore.
I remember the first time I watched this, my heart was absolutely pounding at 5:57 lol
That car did a 2km windy ice course in 1minute?!?! Damn. That's impressive.
"I don't wanna die in tights!"
2:10 - n-HU-HU-OO-ge turbo charger.
Henning Solberg is awesome.
blueonblack83 dont forget another solberg....Petter Solberg
And at least one of them had an actual respect for rallying legend Colin McRae while he was still alive
@@thescreamingsinger5798 Don't forget Oliver Solberg. Future champion
I wonder if james would be confident if he'd been told Henning had crashed so often people called him Henning Roll-berg
@@RedJLP whats that suposed to mean
Wow, that drive down the road in the Evo was spectacular!
Yeah you really can't fault the driving, it was spot on
Dont take anythig from the driver though, he seems awfully skilled !
3:19 Gotta say, Hammond's got some nice form in his running!
"Mind the trees....you nutter"
captain slow pressed the button too slow

As an EVO fanatic, i thought i had watched all the evo videos there was on Top Gear.. Now i see this :o
As an Evo owner I'm still super impressed with this
I cackled when I saw the driver imagining the course🤣🤣
He got it done though. Smashed the Evo
6:25
Richard: I don't want to die in tights!
2:23 absolutely YES!
That Lancer was breaking the ice, what a driver!!
This the most adrenalin. I've ever experienced.
Both solberg brothers are unbelievable pilots
1:22 | At the Heart of It All, by Aphex Twin
3:57 | Mona Lisa Overdrive, by Juno Reactor
They're so young!
A proper competition and staged to a very little degree. Just the opposite of the American Top Gear.
This may be the best segment Top Gear has ever produced.
My favourite part of the entire video is James May's face at 5:43
xD
Rob Dougan's "Speed Me Towards Death" and "Mona Lisa Overdrive" by Don Davis and Juno Reactor were the perfect choices for this clip. I'm still tingling from watching the race!
ngl that bobsleigh ride looks more terrifying than the ice track
Im surprised. I was sure it would be extremely one sided (in favor the bobsleigh) but the times are more or less even...
the evo is so amazing!
If anyone was wondering, the first song was Speed me Towards Death by Rob Dougan.
The Holy Power of EVOLUTION!!!
@Turbo Charged idiot
@Motherfuckin Animals He deleted his comment so I don't remember what I was replying to lol. I love Evos.
The key was to put Stig in Evo.
The stig cant hold the candle for a WRC guy, as a matter of fact the "Stig" is named after Stig Blomqvist, which was a famous Swedish rally driver ;-)
Mostafa Elbadawi true
I love the Evo
The poor rally driver was doing almost 120kph... On average!!! 🤯
"Can't afford to loose 3cm" - Richard Hammond
😭I'm tall and I know how that is
THE MATRIX MUSIC!!!! Too bad ass.
They did a lot of that during the original run, a lot of love for Prodigy in the first couple of seasons too
I miss old Top Gear
I've done this in Lillehammer before both the summer course and the winter course it's insane I loved it.
James eyes... Terrified...
Richard Hammond: This is Lilyhammer in Norway!
Me: Dette er Lillehammer i Norge!
I can and will always remember 'Beating the Bobsleigh' on Dirt 3!!! Smashed it
That's Matrix sountrack during the race!
Matrix Reloaded actually
Highway chase scene
+Dà wèi Chan Juno Reactor - Mona Lisa Overdrive
"you can't go this fast on ice"......you've never driven in New Jersey in the winter.....LOLOL!!!
One of the reasons why I bought my Evo 6 GSR
Dirt 3 anyone?
i expected MiniCooper instead of Evo ^^
What metal did you guys get? I can't get past gold
***** Platinum is like impossible for me :D
Алексей Охильков Top gear actually did this challenge again with the mini cooper
Is the track from the there. Because I believe it is like the Finland snow track, there are exactly same tunnels!
May at 5:45! 😄
I want to see this redone with a modern rally car
They did that in a modern mini cooper wrc car and it won that time
I was drinking my Coke when James said "I can't take lectures on physics from a man in tights, dancing yes, physics no." and it shot out my nose
James really was the best presenter on Top Gear
May sincerely looked sh*t scared 😂
It amazes me how much filming was done for the race itself. The whole race was done within a minute, and yet the footage runs for exactly 2 minutes.
Now that's something to watch on RUclips....
I like how they're using the highway chase music from the matrix reloaded during the race
R.I.P. Evos
We'll miss you :'(
Old Evos
Not even HQ this time... =P
this is season 5, this was filmed 10 years ago, there was no HD then
Look how young James looks , a youthfull mid-40's , now he is in his early 50's and looks much more haggard.
danny sulyma wasnt james always in his 50s?
*****
480 is HQ
They so young! I love them in any stage of they life's!!!:)
That Place should sell tickets for both experiences, I would do that over any roller coaster or theme park.
at the end why did no body pat the driver on the back
EVO beats everything!
I love that they used the car chase music from the Matrix Reloaded.
Very impressive performances from both but credit is also due to the camera crew and editing team, this was an absolutely exhilarating segment.
Honestly the car and driver blew my mind.
That was one of their best!
Wow they look so young!
Its so old that my grandparent remember it ,, he was young!!!!!
That is the rally car I have in Dirt rally 2.0
The part of the video from 5:51 to 5:59 is what a bobsled really feels like. INTENSE. Like, stupid intense.
Insane driving!!
I came for the Evo
Creamated Biscuit nice comment EVO power!!
The rare Hammond-May duo, priceless
06:57 hammond looks so small
In case anyone is wondering what the music is that kicks in at around 4:10, it's the highway chase music from the matrix
yeah, that
Two AFX remixes in one minute of Top Gear
THAT MUSIC!!! MATRIX!!!
best versus ever in Top Gear
At The Heart Of It All
Top Gear at it's magnificent best, wish there was a "Super Like" button for stuff like this ! 👍
is that the matrix reloaded soundtrack im hearing?
Yes
4:41 what you want
The evo 5... legend
so this is where Codemasters got inspiration for that one DC challange in DiRT 3
I love how they play Mona Lisa Overdrive haha
The matrix reloaded music makes it so much better
classic TG using movie themes always hit hard!
Wow what a race 😊👏
These videos are awesome, but it's a shame it not even 720p...
Hennings driving is awesome 👏
Rally car vs super bike on the Isle of Man TT course.
Rerace when it's 60 degrees out! (May looked terrified, lol...)
thanks LG TV. but it's the last bit of music when they have finished racing
