[MrTrick]

Nice one!

I'll be watching.

 

[Justin]

Cool!

 

[Tav]

Racing blue ftw! Looks like Plato was loving it!

 

[Needster]

Ooooft. I wouldn't like to think that was my 182 ragging round there! I think I'll watch it just for that TBH.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Cheers Mike,wondered when it was going to be on.

 

[Aluco]

Been waiting for this since Tonys car got picked

 

[Tony Hunter]

Ooooft. I wouldn't like to think that was my 182 ragging round there! I think I'll watch it just for that TBH.

No different than doing a track day.

 

[Justin]

Awesome! Potato is driven the new SV Lambo

 

[Needster]

No different than doing a track day.

I know but it's not you driving it... I'd feel ok if it was me doing it. Meh. Looks epic anyway.

 

[Fletcher]

No different than doing a track day.

And Plato knows what he's doing

 

[Aluco]

I would love them to drive my car round there track
(As long as they didn't try and do a jump in it )

 

[LiquidRich]

should be a good watch this, glad to see Plato is doing the test and not VBH

you could smell the seat if vbh had done it though - mmmmmm

 

[Stevee182]

182 or 200 whats your thoughts....?

 

[Gally]

197 vs 200? Better comparison?

Then again it's 5th gear.

 

[JT182]

Pffft, if they're are going to do it right, at least get the pinnacle of the last generation to compete - the Trophy of course and not the runt of the litter!

Should be good though, it's quite a short and twisty circuit that they use isn't it so it'll be good to see the difference a few years of development makes.

 

[Tony Hunter]

182 or 200 whats your thoughts....?

As I have said in original thread,I know the result.
,but I also know the real result.

 

[Peperami]

Ooooft. I wouldn't like to think that was my 182 ragging round there! I think I'll watch it just for that TBH.

You havnt seen how Tony drives it...

Looks like a great day mate, did you get a chance at a head to head with Plato?

 

[Tony Hunter]

No Dan as he was either busy filming in the other car and couldn't have both out on track at the same time but we still had a good rag around later on the QT as the sun was setting.

 

[WILLIE]

Should be a good watch to see the out come.

Gotta start placing bets.. I reckon 200 will win by the most 2 car lenths to the finish line which is about one second quiker..ish

 

[MarkCup]

I couldn't help smiling when he chuckled as your tyres were screaming for their lives.

 

[Guppy]

I think the 200 will win

1*2 looks better though

 

[cliosportap]

in my opinion 200 will win
but how can i watch it from turkey:S
i cant find this channel in satalite

Could you try: http://demand.five.tv/Home.aspx

But maybe only UK based users can view this service. Try viewing through a UK based proxy? Otherwise i'm sure it will be uploaded to youtube eventually.

Try this: http://demand.five.tv/Series.aspx?seriesBaseName=FifthGear

Not sure if it works outside the UK.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

strangely drawn to this test, in one respect its almost immaterial which wins. People that love the 200 will continue to love the 200 and people that love the 182.. you get my point.

If the 200 loses its bad news if you ask me, if it doesnt have performance on its side what does it have

as both will be in standard form i think the 182's lackadaisical throttle response maybe its undoing in this test.

 

[cliosportap]

yes it isint working
so iwill watch it later from youtube or somewhere else

 

[.:xTreme:.]

I had a Trophy and Im picking up my 200 tomorrow, so Im hoping that the 200 is the victor...

Although Tony Hunter says " I know the result and also the real result ", so what the hell does that mean.. If the 200 loses, is that not the real result, then Ill be happy again.. if the 182 wins, will that make me happy because thats not the real result.. the 200 wins.. happy again.. Im spinning this my way no matter the outcome

The 200 wins!!

 

[Fletcher]

I also think the 200 will win.

the 182 wins so they changed it make it look like the 200 won?

 

[Gorms]

I think what Tony means by what he said is the fact the 200 does win the race, but im guessing plato is saying the 182 is the better car to drive (more fun). Might be totally wrong but thats what i got from what he was writing .

[Tony Hunter]

Its all scripted beforehand,so when you see the result you will know what I mean.

But there was not much in it anyway,but be quite honest the cars are so different it does not really matter as the 200 was a great drive esp on the limit just lacks that "feel" still.

 

[Fred@BTM]

car looks fantastic, whoever prep'd it must be good

 

[Spiezels]

Is it in episode 5 peeps

 

[Spiezels]

Simple answer.

 

[ukaskew]

Cant wait for the banter after this, every argument in the book is going to be rolled out - even though in reality it's absolutely irrelevant! I'm sure driving style, the 200 being tight (win or lose) and of course the all important cosmetic concerns to be rolled out on CS

On the plus side, I'm guessing the competition next week will be for a mint 182 or something along those lines.

I reckon it will be a 200 cup up for grabs

 

[Icarus]
