Chris, I get it now. We are getting unprecedentedly candid views of what it's like to race an endurance gt car. You have no choice now but to go to Le Mans, win your class, and give us the greatest video of all time.
And more music free onboard clips please.
Fuck the Lemmon, go N24
So no one gonna speak about Neil's transitions? No? Okay. NEIL YOU BEAUTY, YOUR CAMERA WORK IS TOP CLASS CHAP. KEEP AT IT WITH THE SLICK WORK.
I liked the super sharp sweeping transition across the pits near the beginning. That shit is pro
You mean the one at 0:59?
Kayode Miller I
Truly is top class camera work and editing.
Is he also the guy that gives us the slow-mo´s when Chris Harris is drifting the cars he is testing ? Because, I do think that these slow-mo´s are super boring by now. But back to the topic - yes, it looked incredible.
This seems a very British car thing to do, like come on,
-Mclarens
-Silverstone
-Chris Harris
-Most likely rained
Chris Harris never finishes a race 😂 they're always hit by some Mercedes
Joel Schembri dude drove off too no remorse lol. Something I see in online gta online racing
Never finishes a race
Ever
Loferix what would you have him do?
Joel Schembri exactly!
5:45 for those who wonder, "went purple" refers to having the fastest lap time
Thanks ;)
In this case it was the fastest sector time. Since he had to play catch up, he was on the front straight at full bore when the grid went green where the rest of the grid had to be a start speed. So he took the entire first sector at race speed where the rest of the grid couldn't. A nice opportunity no doubt!
for those who might not know, "Going Purple" means that the person set the fastest lap.
Actually just the sector not the lap in this case. Puprle sector.
Only sector times are are purple
I met Chris at a BP petrol station near Silverstone last week, the guy really is down to earth and chilled.
That's what makes watching the 'new' Top Gear so relaxing and entertaining at the same time.
Met him at Silverstone last year before his GT3 race, ended up chatting for about 10min about the series and the CLK 63 Black Series. Proper nice guy.
without Chris Harris top gear would be dead by now... thank god for his driving and commentating skills,
Really like this video
I'd say that is an accurate assessment I've been devouring all of the super car videos he's produced Great commentary 👍
Man, for such an amazing driver, Mr Chris Harris has some terrible luck in any big league races> First the crash at Spa, then this. poor guy, we all wanna see what you can do in a clean, working car
Almost won the Goodwood Revival RAC TT in 2013 as well. His teammate spun out the last few laps.
Also when he was at the N24 in 2015 the Aston he was with had to retire due to a crash in the early morning of the race whilst Chris was having a rest, he really doesn't seem to have much luck when it comes to big races.
CairnieR British race cars, man. Idk what's with them. He'd have more luck driving Porsche's, Merc's, Audi's, Lambo's, or Nissan's than with any McLaren, Aston, or Jaguar.
Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the race conditions because endurance races have all sorts of weird things happen especially crashes(see any of the Spa or Nurburgring 24hs as examples) where no matter what car you drive there could still be crashes, and in series like the Blancpain sprint there are inexperienced gentleman drivers who end up causing chaos due to not know what to do or how to properly drive cars which can happen for any manufacturer too.
He went 7th in the RAC TT race in Goodwood Revival this year driving a Ferrari 250 LM.
Where's the vid of the Merc driver getting punched in the face?
12:14
He's no Verstappen, so no punching.
Hiring Chris Harris was one of the smartest decisions Top Gear has made. This man single handedly saved the show.
the ONE and ONLY thing better than watching Chris Harris review a car is watching him race
David David I will have to disagree, but then again, it is a matter of opinion...
@David David jhfgjilkbkll
these have always been my favourite harris videos, incredible stuff
Beautiful video. Thank you Chris and Neil for these, it's always a breathtaking experience.
My uncle has a racing team in Germany and they raced this car 'til about three years ago in the VLN race-series.
The car is a diva to say the least. When it performed it performed really good but on a regular basis the car did find reasons to not work. :-)
DonDuracell So that would make the team either; Gemballa Racing (raced in VLN and N24 with McLaren in 2012) or Dörr Motorsport (ran McLarens in the VLN/N24 from 2012-2014). If that's the case, your Uncle's team ran a 12C McLaren which was the previous iteration of this 650S GT3. So they're not quite the same car.
IIRC, the 650S GT3 was sold as an upgrade package for the 12C - they didn't make customers buy brand new cars. That's why pretty much all MP4-12C GT3s disappeared from competition so quickly when the 650S GT3 was launched.
Is it a McLaren Honda?
DeadPixel918 no its different
Honda were McLaren's engine provider for F1. Now its Renault hence why the F1 team is called McLaren Renault. For the GT3 series and road cars an company called Recardo Manufacture the twin turbo V8 engines.
Chris Harris needs to do more GT3 feature length pieces. His enduro videos are so good!
Hope there is some blancpain footage on the show. It deserves more exposure over here. So much more exciting to watch than F1 and all free to watch.
Facts!
Free to watch? That will be the day. Bt have got there dirty mitts on it.
Silverstone in a 650S GT3 must be hugely exciting 👌🏽. Mega video as always, shame about the front end damage 😬. We all wanna see the Spa Video NOW!! 👀
I have never seen a better video on how such a race must feel like as an actual pilot.
Great job guys
Great job
starbuzz dude if you're lukin for a POV kinda experience, check out Alexander West's channel.. he's Chris's teammate in this video.. man dat guy can drive!
You need to watch Chris do the 24hr at Spa in a Bentley then.
If you think they can drive lol there AM drivers you have PRO AM and PRO above that
Chris Harris is the only reason I still watch top gear videos. good job BBC, keep him as the lead.
I absolutely love these video diary diaries of race weekends by Chris Harris.
Cannot wait for the Spa 24hrs!
So many classic GT3 teams out there! like the Kaspersky 458s
Love your content mr. Harris, keep up the great work.
Really like Chris' style of videos. Loved it for years, still do. Thanks Top Gear for not changing it :)
Great video. Really takes one inside the race experience in many different ways.
Thank you for sharing! Hope to see more content like this
Love these race vids!! Nice work guys and gals!!!
big fan of these videos. best of luck in future events!
Great video! Also; a great shout of to the unsung heroes - the mechanics!
One of your best videos ever. CANNOT wait for Spa.
Harris, Carey, Waterfield - class act. These guys deliver such great content, consistently. Gracias!
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these cars... they are stunning!
This is proper automotive journalism. It gives us a brilliant insight on how motor-racing is challenging, fun and at times frustrating. But the passion for racing and cars surpasses all. Thanks Chris and looking forward for more such videos. Cheers!
Thank you TopGear for making more and more Chris Harris Drives. This is probably the web equivalent of TopGear in popularity (competing with Roadkill and MCM for that title I guess) and letting Chris do his thing despite all contractual mambojamboo and legaleese is so greatly appreciated!
Try to avoid pricks driving Mercedes. This applies just as much to real life as it does to racing.
Burt Sampson and Audi drivers
Archer yeah, can I mention taxi drivers?
WHATS THE DIFF BETWEEN A MERCEDES AND A PORCUPINE ???????...... THE PRICKS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE OF A PORCUPINE ......
Great positive perspective !!
Enjoy all your videos Chris. Love seeing you in a race car. Best of Luck!
I adore the meditative mood of these videos.
These are the things we need.... Great Motorsport Racing.... Thank You Top Gear.... #188
More of this please....Chris racing is what I love.
good luck in spa ! Great video
beautiful video thanks for sharing. I love experiencing this stuff from this perspective its almost as good as game of thrones.
Sick video, it went perfectly with my breakfast burrito. Chris is living the dream!
Gotta love Chris' competitive spirit and proper disposition throughout the race! Some call them [disappointments] losses--Chris looks at them as lessons.
wow.......... Thanks.
Wow the height of the car is so low combined with the downforce,it is glued to the track, amazing.!
Please Chris drive 2019 NSX GT3 and review in your show this year... thanks again, I'm a big fan.
This is why I watch the competition between the beautiful yet different sculptures on wheels.
I really do luv watching chris harris vids great stuff top gear
I appreciate that Chris is great at presenting as he is at driving/playing a real life game of Grand Turismo
This is very close to the older Chris Harris on Cars content, which I love very much...
I'm so happy TG decided to let you do your thing, if that is what they're doing.
Anyway, don't listen to the horrible comments and keep this up! Can't wait for spa 24h
Next video please share a long video of the 24 hours at Spa. Ive seen the full race, amazing
This looks extremely satisfyingly.
Another fabulous Chris Harris video! Camera work is top notch. Top Gear/BBC made a smart move hiring Harris!
Beautiful cars 👍great video cheers
Great video Chris!!!!!
chris....great job...excellent driving..excellent visuals... excellent music... honestly the first time in my life I've envied another man..job well done!
Awesome video by the way
Would die to drive one of these. A normal 650s is already crazy. Couldn’t imagine a GT3 version. The way it handles is probably indescribably unbelievable
I wish you all the best for the next race
Thank you Top Gear
mclaren should make 720s GT3 for entering races
Well, your statement there did come true finally
Chris Harris ... saviour of Top Gear !
Brilliant video. Brilliant story telling. Epic footage. Shoddy luck though :( Here's hoping you rock it at the full 24 hour race. I love how the GT3 cars look. Unbelievably purposeful and sexy! Keep up the great work Harris and team!!
Love the 200mph tape on the nose
Great vid thks
man i love gt3 cars...something is special about them❤
Wish I could try out one of these..
Damn Chris! You just can't catch a break! Incredible.
-Ski
Just imagine him and Sabine and Stigsman in one team together.
I love how the grand tour are advertising on the top gear channel 😂😂
Amazing video
this is the best race of this season
This is amazing
They where back in the race, wayyyyy back
I love these
Omg I was there!! Can't believe it was you I didn't realise!
"I love racing this car" and I will be watching. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about. Good race.
It hurts how much I love you, Chris..
Well produced
Amazing guy Cris you should do more videos 👍😀
What a beautiful sport
Love these vids but hopefully your team has better luck next time
Awesome :)
This is the video I am waiting for...Chris you are the best. The video with my favorite car with a driver/top journalist as Chris Harris. More videos like this please. Thanks all
This is my favorite racecar
Very well made video.
I love the gt3 car reviews
Fantastic
This is my 3rd video watching Chris Harris in an endurance race and all 3 times the car has been retired. Next I suggest the camera crew just use another team 😂
Chris Harris has saved Top Gear, he is entertaining without resorting to toilet humour and is a hard core car enthusiast.
Chris Harris: the only reason i like new Top Gear
im so happy Chris gets to race more and more these days. It took Top Gear way to long to pick him up
What's going on with those open wing mirrors? Is it an intake by chance?
He got the true racing experience, optimism and excitement, followed by frustration and disappointment.
Please race more and make more of these vids
Racing mclaren's, what a life!
back to the true essence of Harris. This is what we like. Youre a fool if you dont like Blancpain.
Chris Harris in race cars..... it doesn't get any better than this
After watching a few of these Chris Harris vids, its on par if not better than OG proper car testing top gear wow
