Wait, wait. Hold on. We're going straight. — Allow me to introduce you to our drivers. Richard Hammond, TV presenter and motoring journalist. Ed China, the engineering legend from Wheeler Dealers. Tiff Nadell, racing driver and seasoned TV pro. Jason Fensky, YouTube's engineering mastermind. Vicky Butler Henderson, Fifth Gears Fearless Performance Expert, and Andy Palmer, automotive engineer and godfather of EVs. All of these people, plus myself and more, are part of the new drive tribe collective, which is now live. Check it out through the link in the description. I will ask five quite difficult automotive related questions to each guest prior to their lap. — Oh god. — Do you want catering, Dave? — No. Each incorrect answer will incur a 5-second time penalty added to their overall lap time. — Well, I have no idea. — It doesn't matter. After the presenter has completed the five questions, they will sprint to the car in a sort of Lemon style start. Once in and harnessed up, the presenter will complete a lap. The timer stops once they cross the finish line. The shortest time on the board, inclusive of any incurred penalties, will be crowned the winner. First up, it's Jason Fensky from Engineering Explained. — Jason? Yes. — Are you ready? — Nope. — You've never driven one of these before? — I have before. This will be a first. And there's plenty of room, so it should be fun. — Yeah. Good luck. You've got three laps to practice. Have fun. — Amazing. Thank you. — Bye. — This is terrifying. — This thing is such a handful. It is delightful, but It requires a sharp brain.

I don't know if they are aware, but I went off the track. I'm getting back on. Nobody needs to know. — Jason, — how was that? — Uh, well, are there penalties for going off the track? — Um, not explicitly, but you might have lost a bit of time. Oh, no. — But you did really well and I think you should be proud. It was your first time driving one. — It was not great, but uh I didn't realize until that lap that this doesn't have ABS. — Yeah. — And so it was like I just went straight and I was like, "Well, we're going straight.

We shall see. — Good to see. — Fingers crossed. Our final driver to face the mighty catering was Ed China. But during seat fitting this morning, we came across a slight hiccup. Morning, Ed. — Hello, Dave. How's it going? — Very good. We're going to try and squeeze you into this car. — There is no way. — The steering wheel comes off. — Oh, that's good. Okay, let's do that. — There you go. That gets you a bit more ### [15:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viZCnqiapvc&t=900s) Segment 4 (15:00 - 19:00) space. — That's it. That's the method. — No, this is the method, is it? — I'm not sure your other leg's going to be able to come in. — That's fine. I think that's okay. If you give us a steering wheel, I think we're good, — I reckon. cuz then — I don't think this is going to work. — No, I don't know. Have you got something like bigger like a Range Rover? — Uh, no. But I do have a backup plan. — Nice. Okay. Yeah, Dave, I think um so — I think I'm stuck. — So, generally the idea is you got to be able to take your foot off the clutch as well. — Yeah, ideally. Yeah. — So, I can't do that. — No, cuz your knees and I but also if I do that, I can't steer at the same time and my knees are touching the dashboard. My butttocks, as large as they are, aren't actually anywhere near the seat at the moment, but my hips are stopping. I have my child bearing hips are in the way. So, do you have a plan C? — Luckily, good old Katerum Dave did have a plan C. Yes, we literally had to take the seat out to make Ed fit in the car. — I think we've got action now. I have no excuses. — And China, are you ready? — I I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be. — Well, you've got three laps to practice. Are you prepared? — I think I'm ready to go. — Okay. Yes. — Off you go. Good luck. — Just trying to work out how good the tires are. He said they were rubbish in the wet and it's wet. I worry about that. Oh, I get what I've done. That's quite funny actually. I can do that. Just going to go through the chicane here cuz some idiot went over the other bit of the road. — Okay, Ed, China, the time has come. — You know how this works. Yes. I'm going to ask you some questions — and then it's your time to shine. — Okay. — Are you ready? — Yeah. — Let's go.

So, it's banging when it shouldn't do or things are falling apart. — Cool. What causes turbo lag? — Oh, well, that's just lots of just too much air and stuff. So, you have a little anti-lag thing to just keep the things spinning. So, it's basically the turbo slowing down. — Thank you for your answers. Get in the car. Off you go. — I'm just going to — You're doing really well. Do you respond well to positive vibes? Cuz I can give you some positive vibes. — Please carry on with the positive vibes. — Okay. You're doing excellent. — Thank you very much. Right then, I guess I suppose. I — think we're nearly ready. — Yes. — Got to be helped with safety, though. — Yeah, safety is key. — Safety first. — Safe enough. — Okay. Are you good to go? — He's done it again. — How do you think it went? — Terribly. — No. Yeah, I think well the thing is I think you're supposed to go around all the bends. — I think you did great. — Now that everyone had given it a go, it was time to head inside and deliver the scores in sixth place. — So that's last. Yeah. — Yeah. I'm really sorry Ed China. It is you. — But you know like — fifth place. — Yeah. — Andy it goes to which very much — fourth place. — No, wait a minute. Because fourth is you try and achieve fourth. — Yeah. — Last easy — just precision required — to achieve that. I'm very pleased. — Third place. — And I was rooting for you.
