GTP's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car (Episode 21 is up!)

[BKViper]

I liked the first two episodes.
It would be nice to see them more often than once a month.
And I agree with the comment above about camera angles, your brain just expects certain views when looking at a TGTT lap!

Joey had some technical difficulties resulting in the delay of Episode 2. Now that that has been sorted, I presume they'll come a bit more frequently.

Hopefully, because I don't want to be at the bottom of the list any longer than I have to!

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Awesome ideas !
Looking forward to the next interviews !

Yeah, umm, sorry about stealing the reasonably priced car......






.....and wrecking it.

 

[RACECAR]

And across the line in...?

*Cues suspense* One minute....thirty....point.... zero seventy four

So here's how the leaderboard looks now:

homeforsummer - 1:30.074 - C

TB - 1:30.737 - C

Congrats to homeforsummer as you are now at the top of the leaderboard

 

[daan]

TB - 1:30.737 - C

homeforsummer - 1:44.524 - C

So TB, you are still at the top

That was the complete time for the replay, not the time for the lap...

 

[RACECAR]

*facepalm* My mistake. I'll fix that.

 

[TomDrum]

This thread is fantastic, hopefully I will get to drive for it one day! Can't wait to see what is to come

 

[AllyWheels]

I'm also very much looking forward to reading this thread as it progresses.

I have one question though, and sorry if i missed it.

Apart from the restrictions to the car which are listed in the first post, can the car be tuned in any other ways, i.e the suspension and transmission etc?

I think to keep things equal, no one is allowed to.

GTP's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car​

It works much like Top Gear version but only with forum members instead of celebrities going on about their Prius. Each week there will be a lap done by a forum member and then a brief interview to get to know your fellow forum members a little better.

So..., Joe in a Reasonably Priced Car.

🤬 you, man!

Calm down, Joe. Don't get your panties in a bunch. It's not intended as a put-down. It's just that the whole "star" part of the "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" comes from the fact that the person driving is a celebrity and not just a random, unknown Joe. I don't reckon there's a whole lot of celebrities around here, so....

EDIT:
To clarify, my selection of the name "Joe" actually had nothing to do with the OP. In fact, I never even noticed until after posting. I just chose a name commonly used to refer to a generic person.

 

[tony_panda]

guys, does C4 full stock or not??

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The "Star" portion refers to well-known forum members.

 

[Sprite]

Excellent I can't wait to see more. Very good read. Thanks guys. 👍

 

[Dan_]

Nice one. 👍

Is there any new episode scheduled?

 

[RACECAR]

Hey everyone. Sorry this has been a slow one. Seems our original man hasn't been around in a while so for the time being, I'm gonna try to assume the reigns and keep it going.

Nice one. 👍

Is there any new episode scheduled?

There will be one Next week along with the missing interview from homeforsummer and Next week's guest.

 

[Traviizter]

So this means I won't get to have a go. -sigh
Guess I'll enter more photomode competitions.

 

[slayclops]

Great idea mate. great driving TB .

 

[Thatman]

Yeah I'm surprised this thread is not stickied yet. Be cool to have a little schedule though, like a person every 2 weeks on "Sundays" around when top gear is...

Now if only PD surprised us with the other two top gear tracks....

Good showing anyhow.

 

[franz]

Can't wait to watch one with sound. Is there any commentary with the video like the real TopGear?
Btw, this is a very good start of the show Joey 👍

 

[TB]

Yeah I'm surprised this thread is not stickied yet.

It's been stickied for almost 2 weeks:

Oh, and I've stickied this too 👍

Can't wait to watch one with sound. Is there any commentary with the video like the real TopGear?

While I'm sure it's quite doable, I'm guessing that just adds yet another issue in getting them out the door.

Although I do agree that it would be a cool addition!

 

[levernie]

Well done you have done a great job with this

 

[RACECAR]

Great news guys: The Dacia Sandero now has a Sunroof

Anyhow, I have just added homeforsummer's interview and his time will soon be added to the leaderboard. Episode 3 will be up this sunday.

 

[Akmuq]

Who do all you guys think will be fastest. I think it will be GTP_dHolland/MarkWebber. I've seen some of his videos.

Nice interview, good luck to HFS in his possible auto-journo career, I'm quite sure you got the balls to do it mate, go ahead!

daan has added the time to the leaderboard and I've added a link to the interview.

Episode 3 will be up this sunday.

Outstanding!

 

[Neal]

Good work guys 👍 Another great interview and good to see HFS got a plug in, it really is like Top Gear

Looking forward to the next interview and lap, I'm sure HFS will be paying particular attention to the lap time

 

[RACECAR]

Well guys, I will now be fully taking over the show. Joey says he won't be able to do it.

 

[Neal]

Thanks Racecar 👍

Hope everything is ok Joey. This is a great thread idea and it's a shame you won't be running it going forward but huge kudos to you for starting it and hopefully you'll have time to be the star in the car soon

 

[simgroenten]

and great driving too
