  • During Dunsfold Wings and Wheels Georgina Wood got the chance to drive the 1933 Brooklands Napier-Railton around parts of the Top Gear test track. This video gives a good idea what it is like to drive this 24 Litre Aero Engined beast that holds the all time lap record at Brooklands (143.44 mph). The truly amazing thing was that Georgina had had no experience of driving it before, apart from a few basic lessons.

    Holy mufflers pal! Those exhausts have a built-in suitcase on each pipe! I love this car so much, I just never realized how massive those silencers were before XD

    Nice to see an elderly piece of kit such as this 'out and about' and not gathering dust in a museum. Would have liked to have heard that engine being given the beans, but there we are.

    Is that the slowest lap for Top Gear? I saw this MONSTER at a West midlands Museum 20 years ago.

    Just a question, is your vehicule equiped with a NAPPIER SABRE?
    Because i'm a fan of the HAWKER TEMPEST and i search informations for the NAPPIER engine.
    Thanks.

    • @AndysVideo

      No that was far too late, it uses the Napier Lion in production since 1917 the car was built in 1933 and of course the Sabre was not in production until the start of the second World War.

    Would be better to see it flat out 110 percent throttle rather than driving for the sake of it
