gazell · Jan 28, 2007

is it in this series when jeremy races the pm sprinter..or has this already happened

bEN · Jan 28, 2007

I think they arn't going to show it because the bike won, or something along those lines..

thats the downside with topgear, if some of you remember when they raced a car (can't remember ) against a bike around thruxton, the biker was told to lose arc:

but it's funny as hell soooo i overlook it

Richard Hammond's return to BBC Two's Top Gear topped the first hour of Celebrity Big Brother's grand final last night.

Between 8pm and 9pm, Top Gear averaged 7.9m viewers, a 28% share of the audience. It peaked between 8:45pm and 9pm, when footage of Hammond's crash in a jet-powered vehicle was aired for the first time, with 8.6m viewers - a 30% share of the audience - tuning in.

ITV1's Wild At Heart took second place for the hour with 6.8m viewers, a 24% audience share. The first hour of Celebrity Big Brother's final - which saw Danielle Lloyd, Jack Tweed and Ian Watkins evicted from the Big Brother house - was watched by 4.9m viewers, a 17% share of the audience.

Audiences for Celebrity Big Brother built through the 9pm hour, during which The A-Team and Battlestar Galactica star Dirk Benedict was evicted in third place, and Shilpa Shetty was named the winner of the series ahead of second-place Jermaine Jackson. Across the hour the show averaged 6.8m viewers, peaking in the last 15 minutes with 7.3m.

The owner of the jet car involved in a high-speed crash which nearly claimed the life of Richard Hammond appeared to lay the blame for the accident on the Top Gear presenter.

Dramatic footage of the crash clearly showed the car's right front tyre shredded following a blowout as Hammond tore down an airfield runway at speeds approaching 300mph.

He appeared to lose control of the dragster, which veered off the runway on to the grass before overturning.

But in TheSun newspaper, Colin Fallows suggested Hammond was to some extent to blame for the crash by "failing to adhere to the briefing".

He said: "Mr Hammond had a puncture and carried on with the tyre deflated", adding that Hammond "stood on the brakes" after the blowout.

He said: "Once these cars are in motion you don't touch the brakes. You stay on the prescribed line and should always be aware of the unexpected.

"By failing to adhere to the briefing, what would have been a controllable incident ended in a major accident."

The BBC and Mr Fallows' firm, Primetime Landspeed Engineering, may be prosecuted for failing to take due care, the paper said.

On Sunday night, dramatic footage of the 288mph crash was shown for the first time.

Aired on Top Gear's first show of the new series, it revealed the 36-year-old's miraculous escape when he crashed while filming a stunt for the programme in September.

The rider was Niall McKenzie.

i asked him myself last year.

The first lap he spanked the car, he was vague with details but basically told me he wasn't allowed to go 100%

bEN · Jan 30, 2007

im sorry but a tyre blow out at 300mph is not "controlable". I quite like this bit

"Mr Hammond had a puncture and carried on with the tyre deflated"

The tyre *exploded* and damaged the wheel rim whilst doing it. It wasnt a flat tyre, it was a violent explosion of a tyre.

Just the owner of the jet car trying to get some publicity.
