The Top Gear Thread [Mixed Reviews]: Matt LeBlanc quits Top Gear

I never thought Top Gear could use Deux Ex Machina, but there you have it.

What a great episode

That whole episode was brilliant :lol:

Didn't seem as staged either, whether that will last the rest of the series is beyond me.

Pretty clear it couldn't be Schumacher.

Was an alright ep, the race was good for once it didn't seem at all staged and was actually a proper race, none of this 'you have to fly backwards for 2 hours first'

It's more a red herring.

How so? The filming schedule must only take, what, 7 days in a series?

Lol at anyone actually believing that he has been the real Stig for all those years. Come on man, use your heads.

The train was great, such a masterpiece of engineering.

It's make you think how powerful it is, it weighs 96 tons, had carriages on it and was doing 75mph with ease.

That explains that :lol:

That was an epic Top Gear one of the best the race is up there as one of the best.

If you think they can get an entire series done (even just for The Stig) in 7 days, then you're mental.

There are 7 episodes in this season and 13 in others, and I'd imagine they film all the Dunsfold bits in a short space of time. They'd schedule it to take a fortnight, tops. And seeing as the Stig generally only advises the Stars and does the power lap, it takes him even less time.

Well if he only does the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car bit and the Hot Lap then it takes one day a week. They film that on the same day they film the studio bits.

There was no way to tell whether or not it was Schumacher, it was pretty funny to do it like that though. I reckon it's actually that person people were saying it was a few months back, when it was actually everywhere.

It was a great episode, I thought.

Ferrari Enzo FXX + Michael Schumacher = EPIC WIN! 8-)

The Ferrari FXX looks incredibly fast around the track and it also looks stunning. I burst into laughter when Clarkson went "Oh yeah! Is it Susan Boyle?" while the Stig was about to get his helmet off! :lol:

Not to mention about the bacon in the train too. :lol:

So Michael Schumacher is the Stig all along? I don't whether if I can believe it, but if it's him then it's incredible for the BBC to have him as The Stig.

They even admitted it wasn't him at the end of the show :fp:

It wasn't Schumacher, it's never been Schumacher. The end.
