YOU BASTARDS !

I know that this isn’t about Richard Hammon, James May and/or Jeremy Clarckson, but this seems like a thing that they should do, yet, to the best of my knowledge, they haven’t (Am I right about this?).
33
If they have I have never seen it, and I think I have seen everything they have ever done.
But they should have by now :)
I see Jeremy in the Challenger 2, bragging on it. “Richard has 1,100 horsepower in that Frenchie Leclerc, and I have 1,200 horsepowers, which is more.”
Them Richard counters with power to weight, “Jeremy might have more power, but that Challenger weights ten tons more than this spunky little French tank. I have 25 horsepower per ton, Jeremy has only 18 or so…and this Leclerc has a higher top speed, this should go well.”
James is now seen in a vintage WW2 MkIV Churchill tank, “Ok viewers, you can see that I have done this properly. This is a proper tank, the tank that defended our island during the war, that helped to liberate Europe and Africa. It doesn’t have silly power numbers like the modern tanks, because it doesn’t need them. It has enough. Enough to have won the war, and rock solid reliability….”
Just before the race starts, you see Jeremy showing off a small switch inside of the Challenger 2, which is pixelated (poorly) for being classified. “What Richard doesn’t have, is this little switch here, which is the governor that keeps this tank from really getting going, and it is going to the off position…let’s do this.”
Obligatory “speed and power!!!” is seen.
Then as Jeremy pulls away you here this, “Richard Hammond is gone, he is simply gone! What a machine!!”
And if the boys did this, and Richard drove it, the Leclerc would be on it’s side at the end.
And James would have failed to get off the line, messing up he start in the Churchill and stalling the engine.

Your wrong about Richard. He would pick an American tank because he’s secretly an American.
29
Exactly what I thought. He'd be in an M1A1 Abrams

He actually was:
Richard Hammond's Crash Course
Abrams Tank
Episode 1 of 6
Richard Hammond crosses the USA to learn how to drive some of the biggest and most deadly machines on the planet. He travels to Fort Bliss in El Paso to learn how to be commander, gunner and driver of an Abrams M1A2 tank in a three-day crash course.

Oh my goodness yes…

He has only been secretly an American recently
1
Nope. He’s always been a secret American. Look at when they did the muscle cars in America when they went from San Francisco to the Bonneville salt flats in Utah.

I loved this so much! SPOT ON! I need this “lost” episode! Hahaha

I would take some writing work for TGT :)

I think we just found Richard Porters secret Reddit account.

I will take that as quite a compliment :)

"HOW'D YOU MANAGE TO FLIP A TANK?!?!"-Jeremy

James would still be faffing about with the tea kettle.
2
Damn man you need to call Prime or something haha
2
race to who gets their info leaked bc of a game
14
Hammond would find a way to flip it anyway
14
They never raced tanks in TG, but Hammond did take one to do grocery shopping a few times, so there's that.

Wouldn’t have worked with one of the contestants unable to finish; tanks don’t work well upside down.

M1 Abrahms with it's helicopter turbine would destroy them both in a drag race.

Surprised the Challenger 2 won, considering it's the slowest modern MBT.
2
Surpris'd the challenger 2 wonneth, considering t's the slowest modern mbt

But at least we can see a boat drag race!

I cant be the only one who who thinks if you are losing a Tank drag race then you are in the perfect position to just shoot your rival.
2
Agreed, but I can see why. Would we really trust any of these three with tank controls? And it's not a question we wouldn't have trusted the Stig. Too many rumors about him and his cousins...
Only one we can trust is Abby, and she can't drag race herself... Or can she?
2
Didn't they do something about trying to outrun a tank once?
1
They should have a challenge where the other 2 choose a car for the other.
1
how many fuels did it take?
0
All of them

Why'd it think it was a race between a tank and Charles leclerc in his F1 car.
Dw bro I thought the same lmao
It’s actually Nicholas Latifi in the Williams
I reckon that tank might have better speed than the Williams from last year
I’m not too sure about speed (they might be on par), but the tank definitely has some better grip
I am worse than everybody I thought it was a Dodge Challenger and Charles leclerc running on foot (babe cause they were taking too long)
Yeah Charles leclerc zoom zoom boi hell beat mopower
The tank would probably win if Leclerc was driving last years car
It says "a" Leclerc so it might be his brother Arthur.
