I love YouTube’s algorithms sick twisted sense of humour

[vr_bob]

Crazy how Top Gear has a reputation for visiting places a few years before war

[CasualPrince]

James: Uses Science and very intelligent techniques...lasts the longest.
Jeremy: Uses decently intelligent techniques...lasts until Chernobyl.
Hammond: Accidentally makes his car more aerodynamic and swerves like an idiot the whole way...runs out way before Chernobyl.

Forget Russia and Ukraine, we've just witnessed the rare scenes of James driving a Dacia.

[Patrick.Weightman]

Hammond patiently waiting for the cops at max RPM puts me in tears

What I've learnt is there's two ways to increase rolling resistance:
a) Carefully reduce tyre pressure by 30% of optimum
b) Add bricks to your car

[betterthanMJF]

2:38 I love those instances where you can see the look on Hammond’s face when he realises what he’s done

[remcon]

To me the brake and accelerate technique would seem most effective. Just because by braking you evaporate all of your kinetic energy into thin air (well heat technically) and you get to lose a lot of fuel every time you accelerate again

Richard Hammond - car journalist, tv host and man who ran out of fuel on the road near Kyiv a full 8 years before the Russian Army

[WorkingClassZombie]

Clarkson: Strength
Hammond: Dexterity
May: Intelligence

[birdape]

Crazy to think people in that crowd in the beginning are possibly fighting for their lives right now, some may be dead

[du_nut_tuch_me]

I miss old TV show challenges like these, they're much more entertaining to watch than today's challenges. Like "first to get to Chernobyl receives a year's worth of background radiation in an hour"

[LogicalError]

Hammond's skill of failing most tasks became his strength this time.

[jaeger.]

Back when it was hard to run out of fuel in Ukraine.

[gibbonsgriffithsinc]

The look on Richard and James and Jeremy's face when they realise they will be heading to Chernobyl is sheer terrifying

[Donknowww]

4:15 they are driving past Butcha and Irpin. Crazy to think about it...

[com]

I like how May and Clarkson were adjusting their cars to use more fuel, but Hammond adjusted his in case he got there.

[tonyli]

6:12 I love the police officer's awkward stare as Hammond just sits there max revving the engine.

[TheKingking]

In tonight's episode of Top Gear: 2:21 Jeremy Clarkson develops an addiction to bricks, 4:32 James May becomes a nuclear physicist and 5:29 Richard Hammond is arrested for committing war crimes in Ukraine [ *Opening theme kicks in* ].

Honestly, I could listen for hours of James explaining things.
