The Grand Tour » Season 2 » It's a Gas, Gas, Gas
01:04:40
Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond, Mike Skinner
58
Plot summary
The presenters discuss some new supercars and how handbrake turns impress women within the Conversation Street Segment. Hammond tests the Lamborghini Huracán Performante at the Eboladrome beating May's Ferrari 458 Speciale in a drag race before Eaton takes it round the track setting a fast time. May and Hammond then look at ingenious ways of filling up with fuel instead of stopping at a fuel station. Anthony Joshua becomes "the fastest man who makes a living out of punching or strangling someone" beating Bill Goldberg, with both previously owning cars from General Motors. Clarkson then talks about the Rivalry in rallying between Audi with the Quattro and Lancia with the 037. They conclude with a "terrible disappointment" that Lancia is no longer around.
