Struck me he was not a petrolhead, which in fairness he never said he was. I think that explained his lack of knowledge.
He said throughout he was a speed freak, which I think showed in his driving. He was aggressive and obstinate. Without those guys guiding him he would have probably had a big accident, not 'just' a roll.
He is suited to 1/4mile and drag strip racing.
All that aside, I really enjoyed it and personally would rather see licence fee money spent on programmes like that than some of the cack which gets commissioned.
In truth, a series of six or eight like that would replace Top Gear if it were up to me.
