Yes, I sort of agree with you.

However, a little bit of me says everyone knows the car always wins, even the plebs. In fact a friend of mine who is mad keen on motorsports, and races his car, commented that it was totally unrealistic albeit knowing nothing about GA. As to a few spoilt rich kids - well I suppose from some peoples perspective that is entirely true - lets face it very few of us use GA for any really useful purpose (unless of course you consider the typical burger run - useful ).

That said May does indeed have a PPL and does fly regularly. It would have done no harm to give GA a small plug and in that regard an opportunity was missed.

Still all good fun. At least Clarkson tells it how it is when it comes to some of the battery cars which very few other people seem prepared to admit.
