![Lewis Hamilton & Tony Stewart - Seat Swap Special F1 & NASCAR at Watkins Glen [Full Footage]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/86lQaRq5N4U/mqdefault.jpg)
Richard Hammond appreciates America and our weird idiosyncrasies as much as I appreciate the UK and theirs. And that's how the world should be.
Pretty much. I think a lot of Americans are more like him than Jeremy. Jeremy is an asshole.
Trust me bro.... we have our fair share of gruff self-entitled Jeremy's here too. What I love about Jeremy though, is he never apologizes for who he is or what he says. And he knows his cars.
Lots of us appreciate america mate, even in africa.
Cool man. I actually wish we had far less NASCAR and more MotoGP and F1 racing. I have to pay premium just to even watch British Superbikes. : p
Mike Patton
Amen to that
Jeremy Clarkson-"All we know deep down Hammond is a secret American"
We have our own Benedict Arnold now, you see.... Muahahahahahaha
Hammond is more of like the American Automotive Spy
Deep down, so am I!
Yea
Yes
Anyone else want to see The Stig drive that car?
Plot twist: The stig is schumi.
no he is not
alex kokkonis
yeah he is.

I know :)
5:30 to 5:50 Hammond "freaking" out and then cut to Kyle behind him just calmly driving, probably thinking "man this is to slow"
Hammond's screaming his face off and Kyle's just like, "Boy, I'm gonna take you to school."
Richard: Having fun while going nearly 200mph
Kyle: I’m about to end this man’s career.
At least Hammond didn't crash this one...
Hammond is annoying when he laughs and fakes fear or excitement…. I would have fired him
I was very dismissive of NASCAR and thought (like a lot of people) that it was just hillbillies going around in a circle. And then I did a track day in an 800bhp beast like this one. Changed my life. : )
Who doesn't like turning left.. I usually come there to eat meat dafukk doesnt like meat
Damn mwat welldone 3 bottles of beer endless shouting fck best day
Elem Fao Sounds like one hell of a time, man!
Driving the car is a waaay different than watching someone else do it. Of course you had a blast. Go and actually try to watch a race, completely, and tell me how fun it was. I’m sure watching car crashes is the real reason fans put up with the heat, smell of burnt tires, exhaust, and the insanely loud noise. It’s well worth it for the slim chance of witnessing the potential death of someone.
If you're talking about driving a Richard Petty Experience car like Hammond was in here, then I hate to break it to you pal, but your car was only pumping out around 350-400 horses, not the 800 horses of a real Cup Series car. You only got to taste _half_ of what these cars are really like.
The fastest race car I've ridden in was an OSCAAR (~400-450hp I think) going around a 3/8-mile oval called Kawartha Downs Speedway. The g-forces and the heat from the firewall (which started melting my shoes) were the two biggest eye-openers for me.
Wow nascar all around probably looks like the most entertaining race event you could go too. I can see why so many people like it. Coming from a guy that's seen 27 F1 races now.
Got to to see this sometime, definitely.
Here we can see Richard Hammond in his natural habitat...
M'URICA
The Intro already made me laugh lmao. JJ couldn’t comprehend such a stupid question 😂💀
When i played iracing, i started loving nascar. Adrenaline rush is intense and it looks easy on tv but being in one of the cars is one of the most dangerous experience ever.
I haven't played hardcore Sims but I played it on Nascar 2008-2011 and on gran turismo and I thought the same thing. Once you play it you know how exciting it is and you look at Nascar differently.
Old comment but yeah I agree. iRacing really put into perspective how oval racing is still very difficult, and that's not even to mention how the difficulty is strongly downplayed as it is still just a sim.
Hammond got to drive a Nascar car and an F1 car. Man has fulfilled the dreams of every race fan around the world
Hasn't had his body compressed by a Top Fueler yet.
If you love Motorsports you don't argue on which category is better. You just watch both F1 and NASCAR
What about the Aussie v8 Supercars???
***** How dare you put V8s 2nd.
+Pedro Dorantes Le Mans>F1 and I am not rating NASCAR.
+Pedro Dorantes Indeed. But for us you would watch either F1 or V8s since you would watch Nascar in America.
+FLAME4564 I love V8 super cars.... It's a shame I only get highlights where I live in
"American cars cant go around turns" How about going in a turn constantly for 3.5 hours at 200mph. Put Jeremy in a late model dirt car next.
@Michael Pullins Inbred Brit or Eurotrash socialist?
@Michael Pullins there is a very very big difference between 120 mph half ton cars going through things they were built to do, ablit taking a lot of skill you're right there, and 200 mph ton and a half cars with rain on an already slick track, with 42 other cars closer to them than a Dodge Ram on your ass while you're doing 30 over the speed limit on the highway
@@carrollshelby8690 wow
Michael Pullins well you see dumbass you how dangerous that would be right? Not to mention the tires would shred in a mere number of laps
Michael Pullins Look up the term “Stock Car Racing.” A Stock car is different from a car that is stock. If they actually used cars that were stock you would have teams the tune their Camaro ZL1’s and Mustang GT’s to be able to run 200+ mph, hell you might even find some guy that souped up a Camry to run just as fast. The only reason the cars aren’t stock from the factory is because of the safety aspect, if you took a factory car and raced it around a track at 190-200 mph, you would most certainly die if you were in a crash, like many people did back in the day. There is a reason why the name of the series’ in NASCAR’s pantheon no longer includes the “Strictly Stock” division.
Im glad they covered NASCAR. This is a really cool video that really explains just how difficult it is to go left. When I was a kid I hated nascar. I thought it was so boring but then when i started driving and learning about allignement and gearing and traction and then seeing a car that goes 200 mph nonstop for hundreds of laps inches even TOUCHING other cars at that speed going into corners while the vehicle constantly wants to go left is absolutely awesome to watch. 3 wide going into a corner on the last lap with every driver with their foot smashed into tho floor to take the checkered flag knowing they all want it, brushing and bumping other cars at 200mph to win by a centimeter...thats Nascar and I have alot of respect for the sport
"what if you were spotted...eating salad"
"Eating Salad?"
I like how that was said as if he was saying the fuck is a salad?
"Eat salad? I eat things that eat salad."
He said to the skinniest driver in NASCAR, Jimmie Johnson
Well said, Jimmie. Well said.
Not bad, but I still prefer the old Indycar, before it got split into IRL and CART. It really had the best of everything, open-wheel F1-style turbo-charged cars, city street tracks, ovals, proper twisty race tracks with challenging corners and Juan Pablo Montoya. Oh, I miss those races...
actually, montoya came after the split. But i do agree it was better before the split.
Nope... F1 all the way...
@ Christian Koncz
I actually miss the era immediately after the split, 'coz that's when I started watching CART...I loved all those things you mentioned plus the aesthetics of those single seaters as well...those Lolas and Reynards were so sleek and wide...
***** Lmao
Kurt Potter
Montoya used to race F1, but he wasn't good enough.
Cool Richard hang out with 6 times nascar champion Jimmie Johnson, and nascar legend Jeff Gordon! :D
Edit: Jimmie Johnson is now 7 times.
+Oscar Tobar I find it amusing that he asked Jimmie the question about eating a salad and later we see Jimmie sliding through the grass. Let's call that a little foreshadowing.
Wayland C of course he does
+Wayland C ㅑ
+Wayland C predictive programming
Weird to see TMS @1:25 without the monstrous HD screen on the backstretch...
@Mechknight73- I personally find F1 far more entertaining, but I'd be an idiot to say NASCAR drivers are without skill.
They are pushing stock vehicles to their limits with no electrical support as you said. Anyone who can drive at those speeds - even if its in a straight line, with no TCS or anything of the sort is a god among drivers.
Anyone who doesn't want to accept that should stfu lol.
I'm sure it's been mentioned here by now, but there's some youtubers like emplemon and others that have done outstanding videos on Nascar, and have given me a much greater appreciation for the sport. There are others too, that I forget.
Don't get me wrong, F1 is incredible racing and I love following it. But physically being at a NASCAR event is like no other. Especially in the pits.
Comparing NASCAR and F1 is like taking a really good comedy movie,taking a really good drama movie and discussing which is better among the two.
*insert cliche criticism of only making left-hand turns*
If you think oval circuits are easy, you might be right.
If you think winning on an oval circuit is easy, just remember it's a very equal playing field, and only the best car setup and absolute flawless cornering is going to actually get you ahead of the pack.
That said, as a spectator, this shit is boring unless they crash.
+Alex Paulsen Honestly, I quit watching F1 since 2013. Turned to IndyCar and Nascar and I don't regret a second of it. Racing is better, much closely contested and the atmosphere in general is better than current F1
Santiago Machado Just because you don't like one, doesn't mean you have to like the other too.
I just go back and watch the classic races I haven't yet seen or read about.
+Alex Paulsen What most people don't know is that setting up a car for an oval track is actually more complex than setting up a car for road course.
+Alex Paulsen Nah, it's not boring
I don't doubt that it is difficult to drive a nascar, but it's just so friggen boring to watch
From someone that was brought up a mile away from the Brands Hatch circuit in England and often visited it to watch cars, motorcycles, trucks- anything - I really want to see NASCAR live! Respect to the USA from over the pond 🇬🇧🇺🇸
That was cool! But I didn't get the ending...
Nothing really to get, they were just spooking him with another driver.
It looks to me like Petty was going to "push" Hammond. It's a pretty common maneuver among drivers on the same team during speedway races. A driver will draft his teammate, building up a head of speed as he approaches. There comes a point where the drafting car gets close enough to the lead car to affect the lead car's aerodynamics, and it gives the lead car a boost in speed. This is a risky maneuver, however, since the lead car loses some grip during it. It's not uncommon to see two or three cars lined up in a push maneuver to give the lead car a boost. I seem to remember, when Dale Earnhardt Sr died in a wreck, that a possible cause of the crash was the loss of air flow over his rear spoiler causing the car to get a speed boost he wasn't expecting, so he lost control and crashed.
R.I.P. Intimidator.
@@PowerSkunk92 bump draft
To quote Rowdy Burns he was "yanking that rookie's chain".
@@PowerSkunk92 yeah its called "Bump Draft" looked like KP was Setting him up for it, (probably to encourage Hammond to go a little bit quicker :-p. ) . them big Superspeedway ovals make it look deceptivly Slow on film ! in a race , they d be pushing close to 200mph down the straights ! Hammond really did sound scared and he s a ballsy driver generally speaking!
Looking at the comments, how can any race fan really prefer F1 over NASCAR or NASCAR over F1? They're both fun to watch.
You come off as idiots.
F1 fan: "Oranges are stupid, all they are is juice, you don't even have to try. Apples are the real fruit because they are harder to juice. Ferrari."
NASCAR fan: "Nuh-uh. There are chefs who say Oranges are harder to juice. You ever try to without getting it in your eye? Now that's a fruit. #3"
I haven't really looked at it that way... I agree, since they are, as you implied, two completely different kinds of racing. There is no real way to pick a better one.
Well, F1 takes itself way too seriously these days.
What I'd really love to see is something like the old Can-Am series. You'd have to meet standards for safety and whatnot, but other than that you could run anything you wanted. Want to run a 6 wheeled diesel rotary? Sure. A LPG powered radial with rear wheel steering? Fine! A fully electric turbosteamer with AWD? Cool.
That would be a neat ass race.
f1 ? FUN ??? pfff...........you havent seen super v8, super gt and Nascar...on these one anyone can win...not just a cuple of silver cars
Mauricio Nuñez Well, not anyone. On plate races in NASCAR, maybe.
aren't apples easier to juice they don't have the stupid pulp to deal with
1:06 those cheers are SOOO obviously edited in to make it comedic lmaooo
Hammonds face is absolute classic lol ...... "OH MY GOD!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
F1 fans will never take the time to understand oval racing. just bash it cuz it's an American thing
Tyler Kunzweiler Why are you mentioning F1 fans?!?
Surely NASCAR should be compared to DTM, or V8Supercars.
i hear dem banjos strumming.
This is a uniquely American thing. When someone criticizes you, no matter how well founded that criticism is, just deflect by saying it's because of some immutable characteristic of yours, whether it be race, nationality, whatever. I see this almost exclusively in America
Meerkat More ok
@@spacemarinechaplain9367 Why did you even bother responding?
Welcome to 'MURICA!!!!
Did Petty give Hammond a bump? That would be a nice intro to the NASCAR bullring!
Love all motor racing. Why hate?
Rally is my favorite though.
"NASCAR royalty: Kyle Petty"
Well sure, I guess you can say that. I mean, Napoleon was "royalty" as well...
+DRIV3R24 Lol. Kyle Petty is as much royal as a used piece of toilet paper. The only Petty to not have talent.
+DRIV3R24 I don't get what you're trying to say? lol
+Mrs. Banana Bread That's why he has more wins than 90% of the drivers who've ever been in Cup and finished in the top 5 in points a couple of years (in 1992, he entered the last race still with a chance to win the championship.)
Rusty I will just point out that Kyle has more Cup wins than about 97.8% of the drivers who've ever started a race (He's tied for 63rd on the all-time list, and there have been at last count 2898 drivers who have made a Cup start) . Hell, he won more races than 65% of all Cup race winners.
If you're in the top 3% of your profession, you're pretty damned good.
+almostfm ^
One of the secrets of Clarkson/May/Hammond "Top Gear" is they always treat their stars as physically expendable. Like making all three of them drive into a brick wall, drive a truck while it was burning to its axles, or do hijinks on the Bolivian "Death Road." Human crash test dummies, or at least they made it appear that way. Of course, two times the danger almost caught up to Richard, and I am including when he lost control during a hill climb challenge.
Nascar seems more exciting than I thought
it really is...go look up the final laps of the daytona 500 from the beginning of the year
David Gonzalez like any form of auto racing it all depends on what track they're racing at but for a new fan I'd say look up closest restrictor plate finishes ever
"Racing loyalty, Kyle Petty." lol
He has 8 NASCAR cup wins. How much do you got?
You replied to a 3 year old comment with a stupid remark. Good Job.
I know 50% of that name, Kyle Petty is the Legend PETTY is the actual legend RICHARD PETTY
@@davidwinston6721 not a legend, but The King 😉
He actually said Royalty. Which Kyle Petty is.
As someone who’s been there many times I always laugh when they say “from Birmingham, England”, it’s comedy gold.
I'm from europe and i love nascar, atleast its not boring like f1
Shake and Bake
I miss the old Top Gear before it became lame when 3 of my favorite British Amigos left the show. James, Jeremy, and Richard made that show a freaking masterpiece.
you can tell petty enjoyed this immensely
5:00 make me wanna take my mustang out on the track. Yeah I can’t go as fast yeah I don’t have the handling but I can still have fun
I feel bad for Hammond on the Briefing 🤣
0:06 Jesus Christ
Not sure what’s funniest, Richard hammonds authentic squealing when he gets on the gas or how serious Kyle Petty looks chasing after him lol. They actually have some chemistry for comedy.
Formula 1 podium: Winners pop champagne bottles
Nascar: *Dual wielding hand canons in cowboy hats*
*YEE HAW MURRICA* *POP* *POP*
5:21 - 🗣where is it finding the grip?! , both my legs are on the same side , that’s not normal 🤣😆
A-rob Is Beast he said lungs lol
If it was Hammond's first time visiting the US, this would've been the right place to go to. This is America in a nutshell; the anthem, jetpack and bomber flyover... hah this is great.
Also love his face when he floors it in the 14 car.
I repeat: "And I'm wrestling my way around it in a huge shouty dragon." Mr. Hammond is a British national treasure. The real one. He's humble with strangers and has this delightful gift for words. A scholar, adventurer and gentleman. The other two guys are just jerks.
I can see why people find the races boring because it is just a lot of turn left and nothing more. But I understand why its drivers and fans defend so it vigorously when you have to factor in that there are 42 other drivers who are also driving flat-out and are somehow more obsessed with contact than BTCC drivers there is a fair amount to keep track of.
The Indycar series also drives on ovals as well but that very rarely gets the piss taken out of it. The Indy 500 is one of the most prestigious events in motor racing and that's just one big oval. If anything more people are pissed off about the introduction of more road and track courses in its championship
One thing I will say against Nascar though. Seriously, what is with all the Viagra adverts during the break!?
My only complaint is the lack of laps in an F1 race. They are too short for me. Stick them on Daytona and let them do 500 laps.
Ha Ha well played sir. No answer for that one, but valid point
Im a diehard nascar fan. And i have to say nascar definetley needs more road courses. Road courses are way more exciting then tracks like indy. Thats definetly one thing nascar could learn from F1
I think more road courses would be good and would probably get more people who think that its all turn left watching. I think Josh Wise and the dogecar converted some people who think like that
But are there many road tracks in the US that can support 43 cars and 43 teams simultaneously.
I know Road America is used by Nascar but isn't that only for the second division Nationwide series? Other than Road Amercia I cant think of many of tracks that could really hold a race
spider5600 i think COTA maybe can? Possibly road atlanta. Mid ohio i believe can fit 40. But ya thats the problem. I think maybe a good solution would to maybe race in the infield of daytona or indianapolis. Or fontana. That can fit 43 cars
The No.48 Hammond was speaking to at 0:20 crashes his car at 3:13. Hammond definitely messed up his food.
NASCAR truly is a spectacle
Hammond is scared out of his mind driving the car and the pro racer says 'hit more gas' lol
I was at that race! It's the only NASCAR race I've ever been to.
That's the best bit of top gear I've ever watched.
So he could just sit in a nascar and went around that track at speed, but could not do a single lap in a F1 car without spinning.
I think that tells you everything about the skill of the drivers...
Yes but to be honest, if he had been racing he would have been lapped multiple times almost instantly
NASCAR is shaped like a normal car , short about shoulder height annd lots of room
F1 has cars like 3 feet high and no wind shield and it's very long so It makes turning harder so f1 is very challenging in many ther ways but it's more unnatural to ride f1 than nascar
How do you know what speed he was going? There isn't a speedometer in those cars. Also, there wasn't cars to the left and right of him, either.
rneustel he was doing 150-160 mph. race speeds at that track are 190-205
Richard was on his own in the f1 car and was pushing. With supervision, I'm guessing he was very cautious going out. With f1, you exit corners. With NASCAR, the only way your spinning accelerating is out of the pits. That doesn't mean he can't spin in the corners...
And I'm sure with those cars with fans driving are setup to be as stable as possible...
Watching F1 or nascar on tv bores me to tears. But I’d love to physically go and see either.
Oval circuits are the epitome of "easy to learn, hard to master".
Yea
I can't believe this was 7 years ago.
what episode and season is this?
***** Thanks :)
+WallaKowalla did you watch it
yeah:D
Ep2 season 18
Description
Richard Hammond, best man ever!
Nothing like wearing a cowboy hat and firing a couple big irons for your NASCAR winning ceremony. God bless the States
MUUUUUUURICA!
Richard Hammond the secret American in his natural habitat.
The best part of NASCAR is when they take a right turn
So you like races at Watkins Glen and Sonoma then?
Kyle petty is the worst driver I've ever seen in the sport.
Coming from a huge NASCAR fan.
Nah, Steven Wallace was much worse
Danica is the worst ever. No question.
AeroMiner not at all. J.D. mcduffy is only known for most last place finishes of all time
hammon you better dont crash now or youll ditch yourself
Funny how he asked Johnson what would happen if he was spotted eating a salad. He is the fittest and healthiest of all NASCAR drivers.
+Adam Ross He should have asked Stewart instead
***** I would be scared to mess with Smoke.
Lol was that Jimmie Johnson? HAHA I didn't realise but it is! I would kill to meet him!
So simply because ones fit means they eat salads/ Heres something, The most fit people on earth...Dont eat salads.
Dre Ray I don't think you understood what I said
Afther the national anthem had finished, the man with the jetpack had landed and the B-52 Bomberr had flown past! hahahaha

+Tonyhotrod69 How about not using killing machines at all?
I love how he just nonchalantly walks up to Jimmie Johnson of all people to ask him what if he was spotted eating a salad, what a freaking legend
And then they didn't show the answer
@@oliveiradmdiogo probably because he didn't understand the question and just asked him what the fuck was he talking about. lol
I remember I used to question a little bit of how "entertaining" Nascar was when I was younger. But of course that was on TV. Being at a Nascar race is a blast, and there is so much energy. Along with that, the Richard Petty experience where you get to drive these beasts is something that will totally change your outlook on the sport. It's insane. But awesome.
+ThatDudeinBlue take smurf for a spin on the track.
I did that Richard petty experience at Vegas motor speedway, topping 155 on the strait away, awesome!
DavorMATF is right. NASCAR is rigged as raslin' and fake as frog hair.
DavorMATF probably coming from someone in a retarted country, why don’t you head to a nascar race yourself and see what it’s really about.
I live near this track. There are fun things to do there, but watching cars driving a circle for 500 laps isn’t one of them.
How dare you not clap for Sir Richard Hammond
It was a set up of course
Yeah, it was edited to look like that.
They really just had no idea who he was i doubt they were trying to be rude.
It was just editing, and very lazy editing at that
I would bet most of the UK doesn't even know who he is...
“Its complex, It’s not just a loop, it’s three dimensional, and I’m wrestling my way around it in a huge shouty dragon.”
That’s NASCAR in one sentence, all right.

I like how Hammond generally just has an appreciation for loud machines that drive really fast without prejudice to the pedigree.
Hammond: "AHHHHH!!!"
Petty: "More gas... more gas.... more gas"
The fact that he's telling Hammond to go EVEN FASTER is insanity. I love it.
UltimaKeyMaster in this hammond was acting..he was smiling and wasn’t even really concentrating. just saying. when hammond was in an F1 car he had to really concentrate to even drive the car properly. just shows why F1 is harder
@@novarl5082 F1 may be more difficult, but you have much more fun in a stock car, especially on a superspeedway. Try driving at Daytona, it's one hell of a time.
@@novarl5082 Not sure F1 is harder. Drive alone on a track is very different to race with other cars. In F1 drivers seldom have to pass 1 lap down drivers instead of NASCAR drivers. These are quite differents sports
@@peadar6981 _F1 is definitely harder because it's much more difficult to keep the Tire temperatures up (makes them sticky) and keep Brake temps up (so they won't lock up) on such a light car, consistently._

YOU DAMN RIGHT😡😡😡!!!!😭😭😭😭WOOOOOOIO
lol, anthem, jetpack man, bombers, cowboy hats and revolvers? Oh, murica...
MrBadBricks
Seems like it :D
+Microage Don't forget our worst of worst offenses. We even *pray* to the Big Man upstairs to keep us all safe while we have fun. As many *cocksuckers* as that pisses off over here, I can't imagine what that would do to people in Europe.
*But its cool. We understand why you are jealous, we just don't care.*
Jealous on driving in straight lines with 4 corners? Na.
I'm an atheist and I don't mind bowing my head when I'm at a race. It's tradition at this point.
I am an athetist too, but other atheists are so high and mighty and bashing religion. Just leave it alone and stop stirring shit.
I wish the stig could take a Nascar around the track
yeah, that would have been cool ! most ppl think NASCAR "stock" cars can only turn left but , they run at other tracks too, like Infineon and Watkins Glen! (a former F1 used Track ! ) where they can turn RIGHT :-p. looks weird to me seeing them NOT on Ovals ! like whales on a beach :-p
@@leighnassau1158 never heard that before
I'm not a nascar fan but there is nothing like being at a real event. Nascar knows how to put on one hell of a show.
The race is full of action but the fan interaction is really where NASCAR steps all over F1.
Been to nearly every race held at Kansas, can confirm.
@@twotailedavenger Got any races you would recommend for a first time watcher? Seen F1 and love it, but Nascar has never gotten my attention. Yet!
@@espenfarstad1697 talladega is the weekend on sunday, should be a blast I'm going to it
@@espenfarstad1697I highly recommend Daytona and Talladega for superspeedway races. Martinsvills, Bristol, Dover, and Darlington for short tracks. Watkins Glen and the Charlotte roval for road courses.
"once the anthem had finished, the man with the jetpack had landed, and the b-52 had flown past-" lmao
Random fun fact: The B-52 was nicknamed by the army as 'B.U.F.F', which either stood for 'Big Ugly Fat Feller' or 'Big Ugly Fat F*cker'. Just wanted to put that out there.
@@ps2bndled Hell yeah! My dad and I have never really understood the nickname, as it is big, but we don't see it as ugly or fat -- the fuselage is actually pretty thin
'Murica, man!
Never gets old seeing someone finally figuring out that nascar is much more than a left turn
Technically it's not.
I race on a few racing simulators, and I can assure you, just turning left doesn't cut it; If you want to be fast, or keep going in the right direction.
CF Levano
...yeah. thats my point.
*****
don't you get bored of watching the same 30 seconds over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over amd over. oh look my first mistake how exciting.. and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
SHUTUPHAYDN
sometimes, but Ive been bottom row at turn 3 at talledega, best 30seconds ever
I watched a nascar race after seeing this episode and I one thing I noticed is during the pace lap they actually go to one of the drivers and ask them a question a fan has asked while they are preparing to race. I thought that was pretty cool and made them seem so much more approachable and human compared to F1 people.
Hey is that the Bungie dog head as your profile picture?
NASCAR, and stock car racing in general, tries to be the every-mans race format as much as possible while Formula tries to uphold an image of sofistication and wealth, so you probably won't see the same level of fan interaction on purpose, methinks.
You should have a look at Lando Norris then
TheKenji2221 ITS FRIDAY THEN SATURDAY SUNDAY WHAT?!?!?
That’s the whole point and why they are called stock cars. Goes back to when your friendly neighborhood whiskey runner had to build his car to be faster than any police car he might meet. People start to talk, and soon enough it’s “my car faster than yours” “ Oh yeah, prove it” Years later, you have NASCAR.
Part of the charm of NASCAR is that they aren’t the highest evolution of what a race car can be. That’s F1, hands down and not even close. Race cars in NASCAR are too heavy, usually have way more power than the tires can apply to the track before they start spinning, and are generally hard to drive. Add that to the fact that the tires are protected by fenders, and there are too many cars on the track and they hit each other constantly , well, you get top tier American racing.
I love F1 cars, and the onboard footage of how they attack the race course with the speed and hand of god braking blows my mind, but I also think that NASCAR puts on a better show. That’s just me though.
I’m Scottish and when I lived in LA I got invited to a NASCAR day out. Our party had a RV and we had beer, burgers, steaks, man it was amazing. I went out in the car as well and it was the greatest driving experience of my life. Honestly. What a day out man, I recommend to you all, do it.
we love to joke and make fun of america for their culture, but once you experience it for yourself you understand why americans embrace it
richard got like no cheers when they called his name
NASCAR Crashes 2018 Brits don't quite excite Americans like a guy from the military.
Its a gag - they edited to make it seem that way. He did get a warm applause.
Cain - How do you know?
OhMagnetz it was actually on the ESPN broadcast of the pre race I could possibly link to it
Probably because he didn't arrive on a jetpack or parachute off a bomber with a can of beer in his hand and a cowboy hat
Wait......jet packs are REAL!?
yep :D
You sir, are an idiot. They've been Invented since the 60's....
***** No hard feelings! haha
I was just responding in the same vein.
Stratahoovius
haha alrighty.
I didn't know they existed XD
LOL, NASCAR fans look like English soccer fans. Drunk, fighting over bullshit and eating meat and yelling.
This race was in Texas, what did you expect?
Noonecanknow Miner We're a special breed down here : we'll kick your ass then give you a beer
Noonecanknow Miner Oh C'mon now, you've visited the wrong parts of Texas. Come down here to Austin during F1! It's as european as Texas can get, expect it's still really hot.
Brandon Slay How so?
Brandon Slay Have you tracked there?
“Don’t stall Hammond” as he’s driving an automatic Camaro
It's a manual you can see
automatic but instead of clutch auto it’s gear auto so you have to guess when the car is shifting and you need to press the clutch when it does
1998 Subaru Impreza 22b STI, thanks for your knowledge sir.
@@abramo7700 that doesnt exist lmao
@@whypikin i know i was making it up
Somehow, I can clearly hear Clarkson and May laughing in the background...
A lot of people think NASCAR is simple. Those people are idiots. Nothing's simple at 200mph.
Especially inches away from other cars and the wall plus the car is always fighting the driver and the driver has concentrate on what he's doing while telling the crew chief how the car is holding up and listening to the spotter for 4 hours straight its extremely difficult
theLOUISIANIMAL1337 breathing is complicated at 200mph. It’s like be strapped on to rocket and being told not to fall
@@megaduffpuff2435 breathing at 200 mph is as simple as breathing while sitting still. sincerely, someone who has gone 500 mph.
@- - quite correct
Dying is
Richard Hammond is actually really cool and appreciates the way the U.S. Does things and dosen't really talk bad about us. Unlike his co host in top gear.
LAD Fan You mean Jeremy Clarkson? I'm American and I like Clarkson. Nothing he has ever said about America has offended me.
No. I meant what I meant.
LAD Fan He had only 2 co hosts on Top Gear. One was Jeremy Clarkson and the other was James May. You could only have been talking about Clarkson, because he's the one who talks about America a lot. I think it's funny though.
I laugh at some. Like the hillbilly jokes because I'm not a hillbilly but he just gets annoying.
LAD Fan Fair enough. To each his own.
Imagine you’re walking through the garage during a race and you see Hammond carrying some tires
HAMMMMONNDDDD!!!
Hammond should become a honourary citizen of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
For those of you not from America, Richard was talking to a guy named Jeff Gordon about fans going around the track with a driver. Jeff is one of the top 5 Nascar drivers of all time....and my favorite driver ever. He is retired. He retired with 93 wins and 4 Championships. He won 3/4 in the late 90's. 1995, 1997, and 1998, and the final one in 2002.
Hate to be that guy, but the final championship was in 2001, not 2002.
2002 was Tony Stewart
I'll admit, growing up I loved watching Formula 1 and countn't understand nascar. "They go in a circle a few hundred times, what's the point?". But over time, I grew to understand it and fall in love with it and was lucky enough to watch a race at Daytona a few years ago. Trust me people, until you're actually there seeing what 200mph looks like with 43 cars literally INCHES apart, you'll never truly grasp how brave/batshit crazy nascar drivers are!
You're going in a circle in NASCAR, IndyCar, F1, GT cars, LMP, V8 supercars, Rally X, one-make races, and all other typesof racing, because you're going around the same fucking course over and over. If anything, racing ITSELF is getting boring.
@@rydoggo stfu
@@rydoggo your life is boring
Rydog5392 well your not a real racing fan you think it’s simple when you are sliding in 180 mph on tracks, anything with racing is hard, all you do is drive around in your mini van all day.
@@butters0y it sure is. I'd like to go racing. I just don't understand the people who don't like Nascar. I'm pretty sure there was a reply saying Nascar was boring, and I replied to them.
Every so often, I have to come back to this video, almost entirely for Hamster's impressions and reactions. It's clear to me that Richard is having *FUN* ... and if that's not what it's all about, then i don't know what is.
Well said.
Nicely said.
I had a big stupid smile on my face watching him. It was pretty great watching him legitimately enjoy that. Pure joy.
wkvalader What you said ... precisely!
wkvalader
Completely agree. Richard was experiencing pure bliss. All 3 of them genuinely love cars and driving, however, it is undeniable that there is no human being on the face of this planet that is more elated to be behind the wheel of an automobile than Jeremy Clarkson. I sincerely hope Top Gear BBC survives the situation they find themselves in presently.
Richard's hilarious face is the only reason I clicked on this video lol.
I used to hate NASCAR, but judging by these comments, I seem to like NASCAR more because NASCAR fans seem like decent people while F1 fans seem to have a huge amount of hate for no reason.
+Rob Hunt It seems you're a pretty wise man.
Rob Hunt most of us NASCAR fans are good people there are a select few (like in all sports) whom are just there for the fights and crashes but a true NASCAR fan is there because we love the racing and the history behind nascar
Yeah, as an F1, it amazes me how NASCAR fans are more respectful to drivers than f1 fans are. Guess we take our drivers for granted.
@@jessicataylor4071 sir please tell me slight history
Rob Hunt probably because of how F1 seems to have a “fanbase” type of fans who strive for one driver/team more then anything compared to nascar where people tend to mix quite a bit
