I was lucky as an American that i and everyone else got to see this show. TopGear was huge in America. It was our childhood and me and my siblings loved it. 500 million viewers world wide is insane ya’ll
Wait fr??? I'm learning English to be able to understand what they said in top gear and now I'm an interpreter. Top gear literally changed my whole life
11:38 “I’ll never experience that power again” about a decade later Clarkson would go on to drive the Bugatti Chiron to hardlaunch his second wife in a different car programme
The one thing that stuck with me since this episode is Jeremy calling the Veyron "not just the best car that's ever been made, but very possibly the best car we'll see in our lifetime". I think he's right.
This was definitely one of my favorite episodes! The ending in particular was great. The lighting of them running down the hallway, Jeremy sipping his beer and then James nodding off... too funny!
Hands down one of the best Top Gear races ever, and one of the best episodes ever. SO glad this was one of the first episodes I ever saw that got me hooked.
This is one of the best episodes of Top Gear in my opinion! Now i miss the Top Gear race with the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren because that is an amazing car too!
This was my favourite of them all… I must’ve watched this particular episode over a hundred times as a kid, closing my eyes pretending I was behind the wheel of a Veyron. Well, the reality… and the closest I’ve got to owning a Veyron is a MK1 Audi TT, far from it in other words😂 I really miss Top Gear.
For those who are unaware, it's not uncommon for ATC to grant light aircraft permission to enter otherwise congested airspace, granted you stick to a very specific route and altitude, given by ATC. I know this from flying with a CFI friend in the San Francisco area. We were able to fly up the 280 freeway into the SF Bay, and San Francisco Airport was routing aircraft around us. It was an experience.
What's doubly hilarious about all this is that he doesn't have a clue how DEFCON works. Defense Condition 1 is the worst it can be. He's got it ass-backwards.
It's too bad this part started after what I felt was the funniest part of the race--that being the Captain and Hamster having to fly around the Alps via Nice.
Clearly fixed, no one and I mean NO ONE takes a London bus from Waterloo when the tube is running until late! This is ridiculous! You simply go from Eurostar platforms to the tube station. FFS
Which big race would you like to see next?
Mercedes SLR - race to Oslo ;)
the first half of this Bugatti race. need to show the full cut.
330d 24hr race
I second rhe 330D 24 hour race.
I Had The Full Race On My Old TikTok Channel I Might Upload It Again 😈
the boys calling Richard "hamster" never gets old
I think this is possibly, *the* definitive Top Gear race. Everything about this challenge was done so well.

Hammond: “James has just told me that he hasn’t done the test that allows him to drive the plane at night”
Jezza: 😂😂😂
Driving planes
I love the thumbnail picture, Richard is the best advertising for these videos
Wow...This EPISODE is nearly 20 YEARS old but where have them years gone?? Damn..

"It's James May and he's actually running on television!"
“He’s got a Bugatti, we’ve got a bus”
i've seen this so many times and it's still amazing
11:42 "the end of an era" 💔
He's got a Bugatti, we've got a bus !😂😂
0:14 and 5:09 Iconic moment.
20 years of Bugatti Veyron in 2025.

The greatest race Top Gear ever made.
Captain Slow falling asleep at the end hahaha
I’ve discovered that Jeremy usually wins
Hello from overseas!
In a congestion zone in a veyron after 6pm, nice
0:55 I love a refreshing cup of 'hot brown' too.
This episode will be 20 years old this December I was 15 when this was first broadcast 😢
Buffeting

"YOU UNBEARABLE MAN!"
Hamster and slow is crazy
Watching this help me when I had chicken pox
Superwipe for the edited livestream
god that veyron look good still after 20 years

yeah, it only works the way Jeremy said if he means putting the spoiler down so he can go faster is less threatening to him
@@ZoeMalDoran In other words, it doesn't work that way lol
It seems to be a broad misconception though. And yet there doesn't seem to be any definitive answer as to how so many of us have it backwards.
@@MFKR696 very true - and I clearly credited Clarkson with too much sense
@ Just a wee bit lol
It's too bad this part started after what I felt was the funniest part of the race--that being the Captain and Hamster having to fly around the Alps via Nice.
Hope the next episode with the buggati veyron super sport top speed test with James may
Aston Martin db9 vs bullet train to París france
8:23 Whats that music called? If anybody knows, please leave a comment 👍🏻
"No Escape" by Andy Hopkins.
This is the show that made me love cars in my childhood.
While everyone was busy watching cartoons, I spent most of my time watching Clarkson.
Don't want to make anyone feel old, but the Veyron is 20 years old this year.
Yessss
0:49 those are Numitron tubes! thanks, Technology Connections
Boarder
Is S3E6 down to fix the audio mixing?
How much did jeremy win by?
Washing machine 😅
why start from after James & Richard having to go south to avoid the Alps?
Airplanes > Cars
Early gang
Clearly fixed, no one and I mean NO ONE takes a London bus from Waterloo when the tube is running until late! This is ridiculous! You simply go from Eurostar platforms to the tube station. FFS
