Fifth Gear is back and Volkswagen Sirocco R comes last

[Maverick]

The high quality motoring show Fifth Gear is back for it's 17th season after it was cancelled at the end of the 16th season :iono: in a new 22 minute format.

It has the same number of segments crammed in, Plato still can't review to save his life, VBH still screams all the time, Tiff is still a knob and Mr Soul Patch is doing pointless segments.

And the VW Sirocco R came last after the Focus RS and the Renaultsport Megane 250 cup (driving looked pretty average - why Tiffs inability to keep the car on the track counts as a valid lap is beyond me).

If you feel like wasting 22* minutes of your life with a poorly presented car show it's on channel BT now.

*19 minutes when you take off 3 minutes for their premium rate competition ad.

i dont think ill bother downloading it as i usually regret it. But I cant see the scirocco coming close to the competition in that test. Its just not as focused as they are.

I'd like to the one causing VBH to scream - hmmm

 

[TimT]

she scares me

The put Tiff in the Renaultsport head to head against VBH in a 2010 Porsche Boxster in damp conditions.

The Renaultsport takes the Porsche off the line and leaves it for dead :iono:
The Renaultsport left the track multiple times yet the Porsche only won by 2 seconds :iono:

Boxster
0-60 5.6 seconds
0-100 13.6 seconds

Renault
0-60 6.0 seconds
0-100 13.7 seconds

NFI how in damp conditions a FWD takes pole position!

Maybe if she sat further back so she wasn't hugging the steering wheel she might actually be able to control the car a bit better.

VBH is :barf: :thumbdown: & that stupied false laugh makes me :mad0259: . The german bird they had on TG a while back is much fitter. :wub:
