there was no time to spare and all crew
needed to be safe and in position before
the car could be sent out
[Music]
one of the big issues on top gear is
crew safety so yeah our presenters to do
what's called a sighting that so he
spots where they are checks the runoff
our camera guy is right on his front
line there
we know that camera got down there safe
but you've got a car doing about 180
miles an hour you've got a whole dinner
for that getting a shot under those
conditions isn't easy the sighting lap
was complete but track conditions were
beginning to deteriorate I just I ran
out of grip halfway through the lap I've
got a lot of understeer but I have no
hocus do as well the heat right now is
bad four times yeah it's a fact is crazy
hot 36 degrees something like that the
track temperature was reaching levels
that could rule out competitive lap
times for either car with fresh tires on
both the time was now the crew roll
camera and set themselves for shooting
the P ones lap time
Hey ladies coming out now flying back
don't bust cameras you've got two laps
the tube goes over
[Music]
okay so they've got flying that
happening in about 45 seconds so make
sure you're all clear from the track you
got shot we're going in through people
[Music]
that's a good time it's hot day today
really hot
p1 always struggles with tires so I
think that is a good time and I
struggled to see how the 720 can get
anywhere near it in order to compare the
laps the 720 had to head out within
moments of the p1
[Music]
okay he's on the street here we go
take your matte finish line shot she
came round final corner now
[Music]
don't give me a pitlane show up in just
coming in so I can have the lap time
please 155 so that's half a second off
that is remarkable and that my friends
is how it's done
you
