Jann Mardenborough Takes On Ex-Top Gear Host in Fast Car Slow Driver vs Slow Car Fast Driver​

It’s an age-old question in motoring and motorsport: which is faster, a fast car driven by a slow driver or a slow car driven by a fast one?

Who?

Rory Reid. He did Chris Evans-era Top Gear, then Fifth Gear as well.

Jann should know better and take GT5 track limits seriously. Looked quite competitive the times, must be fun to drive that track. They should have let him do a lap with the R8, would have been interesting to see how he got on with that given it was rear-wheel drive.

This video is a great showcase what made Top Gear under Clarkson, Hammond any May so great. They just toned down the car show thing, so much so that even those who hate car shows and have no interest in cars whatsoever were able to enjoy it. This video is a stark contrast, it is very "modern car show". I like the premise, but the whole video feels much too "the script was thoroughly reviewed and subsequently approved by management" to be actually enjoyable.
