      The problem is that the BBC is run by muppets and those muppets have got it into their heads that they need a 'celebrity' to be the main presenter, when actually what they need is someone who is a) a good presenter and b) knowledgeable about and passionate about cars, both of which Harris is. But he won't get the job because Joe Public hasn't heard of him, even though no one had heard of Clarkson, May or Hammond before they worked on Top Gear.

I think Neil Carey also directed most of if not all of Chris Harris scene from Top Gear but they don't mention it (just my opinion).

      @lgnlint 6 років тому +5

      You really shouldn't put any energy into caring about likes or dislikes on a UA-cam video - ESPECIALLY ones that OTHER people are leaving. Really. It says nothing about those people whether they give it a thumbs up or down, but it does say a bit about the person who determines that anyone who dislikes a video is "pathetic" (or thinks they can determine ANYTHING about a person based on liking / disliking a youtube video). Thinking you can understand what a person is like based on just that factor, and viewing them as "pathetic" only serves to show how absolutely disgusting of a personality YOU have if you make such a strong judgment of a person's worth based on literally nothing but how they rated a video. You even have the arrogance to do so without them saying a single thing about why they disliked the video - just them clicking thumbs down is enough to make a person "pathetic" to you. Outrageously toxic and hateful attitude and behavior on YOUR part...

      Quayshawn Dameron lol wanna take a chill pill? The race is professional but Chris (not to take anything away from him) is considered/races in the AM Cup, you'll notice the Pro-AM sticker on the back of their car that he mentions. I believe in the 3 driver line up they need to have at least one professional driver and 2 gentleman racers. Chris Harris is a journalist who races, not the same really as a race car driver who blogs. If you can find Patrick Dempsey's(yes the greys anatomy actor) Discovery mini-series Racing Le Mans from a few years ago and it'll give you a better look into what i'm tryna explain

    It's these stories and moments that encourage me to keep pursuing my dream of being a GT3 driver. For now I just have to learn from every opportunity I get from high performance karts, to small private autocross events, to driving twisted mountain roads. People like Chris that share their stories and experiences remind me that it isn't just the thrill of driving that I'm working towards. It's the challenges, the nature of always improving on yourself, the collaboration with your teammates, and the friendships and bonds that will last your lifetime. The podium is pretty cool, but the story that led to that pole is priceless!

    For some reason this video is just so soothing and emotionally touching for me. After all the fancy cars and driving we've seen from Chris Harris, this is the reality of motorsports. It's not fancy, it's tough, it might even be pretty sad, but after all it's just amazing and shows that true passion we all have.
    Great job Chris Harris! Absolutely the BEST you've ever done imo.

      Yeah I'm pretty sure. He's always been doing a mixed bunch with cars and racing for as long as I can remember. He also passed his bike test a couple of years ago. Not sure why, but he's fit for most stuff with cars and cameras.

    I’d like to say thank you to Chris Harris and the Top Gear team for creating what I think is the best piece of automotive television I’ve ever seen. Absolutely brilliant! The noise from the cars made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! To think we won’t have this in a few years when motorsport moves to EV is devastating. I’m definitely going to have to get a ticket for Spa 2021 and enjoy this whilst I can!
