I was thinking the same thing. On top of that there's also the 24 hour racing challenge and the fact that the Stig was faster than most F1 drivers in the 'reasonable priced car'. Whoever it really was, was bloody frickin skilled.
+Dan Krekmanski well, considering that guy in a suit is one of Germany's better known satirists, it should be no wonder. We Germans might not have that black humor the Brits are said to have, but we do have some rather cynical and funny people.
Hammond: James! What are you doing!? May: Shooting at Jeremy! Hammond: But he's on our side! May: Yeah, but why wouldn't you? Hammond: You're right, you would, FIRE!!!
+AIM_SideWinder in The Shawshank Redemption that's how Tim Robbins' character disposed of the rubble from breaking out of his jail cell. He rigged his pants' pockets so that he could dump it out like that while out in the prison yard.
electrictroy2010 i seen that. It was a comedic joke, fictional, a fairytale, a farse, a dream, a imagination. A tasteless humor script that james may had to be behind. Stig doesnt lose. Even the episode when jeremy "beat" stig in the lotus vs the mustang stig was in 2nd gear the whole time and still won but they cut the film.
Sabine, thank you for bringing us an amazing laugh and smiles through your career. You are a warrior. Thank you for making me and Jeremy laugh, but I bet we can both say that this race is for you Sabine, you win ❤️. Rest in the heavens above and look after us in the ring🕊
Oh man, I heard about her condition, but I haven't heard it finally overtaken her... Rest in peace, Sabine. Your legacy as the queen of the Nurbergring and many others will live on~
Having a stig always helps. Really love it when they bring the Stig out to clutch an event like that. My favorite was the 24 hour endurance race where the Stig blitzed the scoreboard anytime they lost ground lol.
Yeah and to avoid Identifying him apparently 50% if the competitors were asked to write Stig so no one could narrow down who it was. I do believe this Stig was Ben Collins
0:52 interesting, you can see the Bernoulli principle in effect here. The faster the flow of air, the lower it’s pressure creating a vacuum which pulls the white foam towards the car
@@thewidow7864 who was never the stig. He was on because Ferrari would only let their drivers test the fxx on the track so he had to be there anyway to do the lap, they came clean about it very soon after the ep came out (Ben Collins was the stig at the time of that ep with the ‘reveal’)
Some say he pees out the window just to annoy the neighbours. And that he has a pet chihuahua called Rover. All we know... He's called the STIG! Love these guys.
WeMuckAround well they have their own new show on the amazon with the budget of 170 million pounds and they can do what they want. Its up to their imagination. So basically they won again.
ugh that Aston Martin Race Car is a thing of beauty and that racing gear shifter is a thing a amazement as well just a small flick of it and its an instant gear change ! the power is mind blowing !
0:35 “Awful lot of bullets hitting me here” VO: “And no wonder” “James! What are you doing!?” “Shooting at Jeremy” “But he’s on our side!!” “Yeah, but why wouldn’t you?” “You’re right, you would, FIRE!!” Cracks me up every time 🤣
I just realized, Sabine had an unfair advantage in the Mini race around Zolder. She was driving the Mini Cooper JCW while Jeremy just had the Cooper S.
next series ; welcome to the boring chris evans show where chris evans talks about his favourite subject cars ? nope chris evans ?? yep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
he’s ok, but honestly he should have his own show that’s not top gear... he’d definetely get a better reception, he just cant hold a candle to the trio nvm i forgot you were talking about chris evans and not chris harris, fuck him
I can safely say... That Top Gear USA... would have been blown away.... by both the germans and the brits... Damn... But hey, We're still Back to Back World War Champs!
***** No it's not he was revealed as a ploy and only took the place of the stig only for one episode which was the one featuring the Ferrari FXX. Which was for good reason.
Some say the stig won Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver
Not a problem just pass a gun to your oponent and let him start xD
Bloody hell, thats hardcore
Bullet proof helmet lol.
( your 100th like 🤣)
Naah that was Chuck Norris . . .
@@philipjensen5279 chuck Norris just ate the gun
seriously underappreciated how stig made about 5 seconds on a good touring car driver at zolder which is a short cirucit anyway

"Did you notice I won because I was first?"

It really fits today again perfectly.. watching Trump and the US elections.. :)

Damn seeing the Stig unleashing his racing skills in a competition is just awesome!! Thrilled the shit outta me
you mean 'james'
Hammond is what's called a "Bad Winner".
XD
YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!
between my friends and I if we're ever doing anything that involves racing of any kind "Hammonds Law" applies.
That always makes me laugh
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

"JAMES" really is talented. And in shape when he wants to be.

6:10 One of the best moments in Top Gear history.
Every good moment in the Top Gear vs Germans series is gold.
Coming in with Spitfires was just pure awesomeness!
It sure is
"YEEEEESSSS! WHAT DO YA THINK OF THAT!"
Hammond's modest win
Stig has opened the cover up!
Puik german vs german last race i ingat stig was michael schumacher
Hee wei seng！！！
NA pui! CVT pui!
@@woozhi9218 Stig was never actually played by Michael except at the reveal. He was actually Ben Collins in any other scene including this one.
Stig doesnt lose. if a time comes where stig loses it was a mere comedic joke or fictional. a fairytale, a farse, a dream. a imagination.
+George M. Stig's time was beaten in one of the "reasonably priced car" segments

7:26 "Das ist niemals Kapitän Langsam!" (No way that's Capt'n Slow)
Made me cringe so hard
@@JANKOLLPLAYZFX Why? It was obviously joke.
Josef Günter it’s a way to say it’s funny hahaha
@@jamesmeza8432 i dont think so
😂🤣🤦♂️
The Stig is a "presenter" in the credits so.....I think it's legit that he participates in the race.
He just runs on diesel and doesn’t speak or react
I fully expected "Disaster strikes" to be James walking out and going "so how's the race?"
"James what are you doing?!"
"Shooting Jeremy"
"Why?!"
"Wouldn't you?"
"Yeah fair enough, carry on"
xD
Matt Green LOLOLOL😂😂😂😂
James actually said "Why wouldn't you?" which is slightly less funny
Should've asked for a turn
"James; some say you really saved our bacon there."
"...Others say I was bound and gagged in the locker room." XD loved this show.
wait when did they say this in the vid?
@@jakobfuugger They said it when they were back at the studio. So it's not in this video, but it was in this episode

i loved it when hamond asked if they could just use him for the full 24 hours lol
Yeah and to avoid Identifying him apparently 50% if the competitors were asked to write Stig so no one could narrow down who it was. I do believe this Stig was Ben Collins
6:22 even the cameraman was smiling 🤣
ASTON MARTIN + "James 'Stig' May" = Fastest car on Earth 😉👌
Anything plus "James" equals fastest thing on earth except for a konigsegg. Lol
Yeah, especially a Fiat Panda.
"James" right lol
WRONG Devel Sixteen is the fastest car on earth,with 348 Miles Per Hour.

Aww gosh, seeing Sabine is actually upsetting me, knowing she's no longer with us
R.I.P Sabine Schmitz
Did anyone else notice James was using the "The Great Escape" technique of subtly dropping dirt?
Shawshank and prison break ftw
Escape from Alcatraz
" Were you shooting at me in the tank ?! "
' Yes he was. "
You can actually hear the air-quotes around "James" at every moment in this race... Just brilliant!
Where's part 1.5? There's clearly something missing between part 1 and part 2.
there's also something missing after part 2
Alexander Krivács Schrøder you are absolutely correct... so is that guy who commented before me
Your welcome
The drag race, which ariel atom wins was missing
Yudha Bagaskara obviously taken out because of german propaganda

"Some say you saved our skins"

Jeremy vs Sabine is one of the most exciting races I’ve seen on top gear!
"He lost 30 kilos in 5 minutes"

I came when I heard the Porsche and the Aston Oh my God
glad I wasn't the only one, when they accelerate away from the start line the sound from those cars! Oh my days!
The bowler sounds really good aswell.
The bowler sounds really good aswell.
The Aston at 7:55 to 8:00 - it was both soulful and evil at the same time :o :o

STIG is a hell of a driver
Arseny Reynolds *James*
was the stig a *german man* at that time ?
the stig's *german cousin*
Tomi Rio - No, the only time the Stig was a German man was when he drove the Ferrari FXX, other than that always a British man, Ben Collins.
"James may's" race win has to be one of the most epic drives of all time!
Some say he pees out the window just to annoy the neighbours. And that he has a pet chihuahua called Rover. All we know... He's called the STIG! Love these guys.
I think it's amazing how entertaining this show is, regardless of if you're into cars or not.
That race at the end still gives me goose bumps over 10 years on. Wow!

So emotional watching Top gear after Jeremy got the sack :(
WeMuckAround It had to end soon, as James put it.
Still pretty sad though :( end of an era...
Why did he get sacked

8:04 that DBRS9 taking sounded like it wanted to eat the Porsche by ripping it down the middle and having two big gulps.
Ben Collins (The Stig at time of recording this) was a real professional driver, and was much more practiced than his retired German counterpart.
6:16
That was the darkest way to declare a victory XDXD
That dive down the inside from Stig on the final corners was dazzling though!
