BBC: Reno Air Race - Jeremy Clarkson's Extreme Machines

[okjohnlemon]

oh man what is that song at 1:40?

[blackness010]

nascar in air = nasplane?

[MrRromy]

1:26 It's a Latvian flag!? WTF?

[noblem600god]

look at the speed it goes... 312 mph.... thats around 500 KPH !!!

[MrDaikimo]

I live in Reno so the planes fly over my house lol it wakes me up!

[MrDaikimo]

I live in Reno and I never thought about the air races that Mitch until I looked at it from an outside perspective

[frilink]

Make a small mistake, you die........

[veyronman]

@frilink as a number of people did earlier this year when a P-51 crashed into the grandstand, killing 11 people including the pilot.

[abus777]

SHUT UP CLARKSON YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT FLYING...

or cars come to think of it...

[frequentflyer15]

Nevada!!!

[mporlier1]

There is a big difference between 4G braking or lateral vs 6G vertical. You cant compare, both are equally hard in their own way.

[pofrani]

View in High Quality = 360p????? the hell?

[alecdepalect]

in the mean time spacehog

[alecdepalect]

1:25 song names in the mean time

[tomburley]

I think he's exagerating the running speeds a bit. He says "500mph" then says they complete the 9 mile lap in ONE minute (60 x 9 = 540mph)

I mean - I love the Mustang, Tempest and Bearcat but they are not 500mph + planes.

[ezeflierid]

@tomburley I beg to differ. Rare Bear has turned a lap at 499mph.. Dago Red has turned a lap at 512.. Not quite 540, but within a rather close percentage.

[tomburley]

@ezeflierid I have to admit that - after looking at the Reno Air race course records the some of the single lap speeds, especially during qualifying, have steadily increased over the past 40yrs. Rare Bear peaked @ 495.03mph and Strega hit 507.10mph with September Fury topping out @ 478.51mph.

However it should be noted that all of these top speed runs were reached on the 67mile qualifying course lap and not the 9 mile lap.

[metalraider187]

@tomburley not at those low altitudes, but if they flew them any higher then it wouldnt be much of a spectator sport.

[tomburley]

@metalraider187 Not at any altitude. Max speed of the P51H (fastest versio) is 487mph @ 25,000ft, with the Sea Fur running @ 460mph and the Bearcat @ 455mph - all need to be above 20,000ft to achieve these speeds. Fast they are, but not 500mph + speeds....unless in a dive.

However, 350mph-400mph at 1,000ft at Reno sure looks impressive and sounds GREAT

[dix1978]

Keine Abdichtbänder am Leitwerk der Nemesis!

Die Motorflieger, lol...

[TheCapi12345]

nice haircut :D

[monsterenergy713]

And then red bull air race emerged

[chubsmagoo]

yeah try 450 to almost 500 mph.

[elvedin555]

planes are heaps more fun than cars :)

[modusoperandi23]

Pants too big, hair too big, and ego way way too big. He looks like a makeup-less clown. Douche bag.

[junbanzai]

infinite number of lines but just one turn hehehehe how's the race going Bob? THEY'RE STILL TURNING LEFT!!!

[sssarsss]

jeremy clarkson had an FRO !!! lol

[Yannick19956]

Hes from Die Ludolfs lol

[dastelster]

whats teh song called?

[deanzed]

@dastelster "born slippy" by underworld

[etma01]

hahahah Clarkson looks ridiculous!!

[dullath]

@etma01 -- completely!!!

[FLY172M]

I used to race in the formula one class, I flew a highly modified LongEazy. I hope to race again this year when I'm done rebuilding.

[rosun82]

How about crash safety?

[leontank]

jeremy has an afro..hahaha

[Gugguggug]

Fly fast, fly low, turn left: the only way American race:)

[DaScatman]

@Gugguggug As opposed to sitting in one corner and waiting for a car to go by everyonce in a while? Post loud, post often, self aggrandize: the only way European post.

[char1eston]

@Gugguggug what do you have against america.

[maxzilla21]

@Gugguggug

Almost like nascar.

[xxxxxJSxxxxx]

@Gugguggug Sounds like Nascar, only in air :D

[datzfast]

two yous would be 475 pounds. the british have bad teeth and cant do math

[04JALD]

strega and dago red was built in our shop in Bakersfield, ca. . back in the earlier years these two planes has broke records. strega just was painted just before the air races in reno and when they flew strega to reno the paint was still little wet. lol my faverate plane is strega.

[Trueflights]

Air racing is cool, but I prefer ones with left and right turns.. none of that silly nascar turn left over and over crap.

[WhatThePresidentSays]

its still just like nascar... LEFT..LEFT..LEFT..LEFT

[rkeywood123]

LOL @ his hair

[Specialized1989]

LOL when did woody harrelson start flying planes??

[MattB613]

I went there for the last three years I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite aircraft there is the F7F Tigercat its painted all black and has two of the COOLEST sounding engines you will EVER HEAR!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know the name of the guy that owns it but he is one lucky son of a bitch...

[bandman232]

@MattB613 Used to go there every year when I lived there. Actually knew a guy that had a Yellow and Black P51 and got to go for free. :D

[MattB613]

@bandman232 cool i got to go as a birthday gift from my family... GREATEST GIFT EVER!!!!!!!

[SmokeyCough]

I can't find any info on that white aircraft.. Was "winged williams" is what he called it?..

[mrajsma01]

I think Jeremy should bring that look back!

[rumpastumpa]

hahaha look at his 90's flow!

[SpartanOfLuxon]

Clarkson has a afro

[InitialDAmine]

@vinzfoolingaround  thank you

[DuhuKaralius]

Damm he's young here :D

[InitialDAmine]

name of the song at the beginning??

[jonatan9505]

@InitialDAmine Underworld - Born Slippy

[EGPK11]

the spitfire mk9 would top all them planes!!

[JanitorIsBack]

What animal did he kill and put on his head?

[Teeebs]

Jezza with pubes on his head......egads.....lol

[pingpongpung]

FUCK UNSKIPPABLE ADS!!!!!

[revelisar]

[lotharzipo]

@tollyt100 dunno if anyone told you.Its name is born slippy

[viddzone]

OMg look at jeremy clarkson......................­..............................­.................Hes realy sorted out his air since 2008. It sounds so strange cause his voice is the same.LOlOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLLOL­OLOLOLOLOLLOLOLLOOLOLLOLOLOLOL­OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOOOLLOLOLOLOO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLLOOLLOLOOLLOLO<LO­LOLOLOLOLLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOO­LOLOLLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

[letsride84]

YEAH GO NEVADA! WOOOH!

[95115964]

Nice People

Old School

[polobluenikos]

he looked gay back then :P

[SHOCKW4W33]

LOL jeremy had hair :O?

[pdutube]

500lbs: "That's two me's"

[MultiAppleDude]

omg he is so

[JETZcorp]

Unfortunately, the Reno Air Races have caused a lot of people to hop up old Merlin V12's to within an inch of their lives, and it's not uncommon for that inch to be on the DEATH side of that line. As a result, the number of working Merlins is growing ever slimmer. If I were going to make a racing plane, I'd get a couple of supercharged, aluminum-block 426 Hemi crate motors from Mopar, hook the crankshafts together, and then proceed to lay down the law. A blown V16 Hemi, Jesus Christ.

[kirk2425]

@JETZcorp Jack Roush can rebuild and zero time Merlins, and makes every known part for the engine, plus custom fabrication. Long live the Rolls Merlin!!

[JETZcorp]

@kirk2425 I'm glad to hear it! Hopefully that will allow the racers to use those rather than the genuine "numbers-matching" antique engines. A similar thing was happening with the 426 Hemi, which was produced in limited numbers. They were getting hopped up to the balls, with drag-racers and tractor-pullers burning through original blocks like corn chips. But now you can get a 426 Hemi, brand new in aluminum, from Mopar, allowing the originals to be enjoyed in non-competition cars.

[Balo657]

Jeremy has hair!

[officereagle]

I think this might be my favorite top gear clip; planes are more fun than cars IMO. it would be cool if they had some sort of aircraft review show. Top Prop? Haha

[timpovikings]

Amazing examples of design and engineering.

[anthcybo]

Why is all of the really cool stuff on this show from America? Oh yeah, because America is awesome.

[BIKER9o5]

@anthcybo I can't wait until your cocky country goes to war with Russia or China

[anthcybo]

@BIKER9o5

They're too afraid of us to go to war. And if we ever went to war with Russia, it'd probably end in nuclear destruction of the entire world. (Oh, and the fact that We're allies with Russia)

[BIKER9o5]

@anthcybo allies haha my ass watch the god dam news and there not fucking afraid of you guys get a dam life.

Saying that though nothing wrong with loving your Country.

[carmastrikes]

OMGs he has hair in this!!!

[TheJzai]

hmm fly fast and turn left ... airborne NASCAR? well ... NASPLANE

[spudsak]

300 mph, 6 Gs minimum, only turn left. suck on that NASCAR

[stikmunkey]

Dude, see how the wing bend here at 2:16

[jeflagoon]

nice fro

[whatever0481]

P-51s won WW2

[whatever0481]

P-51s on the WW2!!! Nazis would shiver in the sight of these Uncle Sam representatives

[Guinters]

anyone know what the song is ?

[elwiz81]

fuck p-51 Spitfire the best !!

[HybridRTele]

HOW MUCH DOES THE YELLOW PLANE WEIGHT (1:40) ??? 500 OR 300 POUNDS??????????????

[BlackSkullRacer613]

@HybridRTele 500.

[elmardus]

@HybridRTele 500 punds

[winterka100]

@HybridRTele !50 kgs is 330 pounds. Not 500.

[illuminated775]

so i imagine most people watching this are pilots ..I was curious what you as pilots think about the airplanes spraying Geo engineered chem trails into are sky's? now whether u believe our not i know you have noticed the planes spraying white chem trails daily ,,there are alarming rates of aluminum and barium being found in our trees and water... again i ask what is your opinion and do any of you pilots have anymore info on were they r landing and taking well we have questions!!!!!!!!!!

[srt4crazy289]

@illuminated775 ummm it just comen phisycal science im asumeing your talking about the white contrails at 30+ thousand feet its hot air meeting very cold air its not chemicals at all who ever came up with that idea is completly brainless its 9th grade science, its condensation, its very cold at 30k feet just like in winter with a car theres whit steam coming out of the exhaust pipe is CONDENSATION not a damn earth ending chemical

[xLightningShotx]

@srt4crazy289 you are deffinatly right on that one i dont know what that other guy is talking about Even i know that and im not even i pilot, unless you count flight sim. :)

[dilirent]

@srt4crazy289 and who in their right mind wants to ruin a planet they cant leave?..that would be retardness in another new unseen level

[gamesbok]

@srt4crazy289 You wouldn't mind breathing it then.

[wtficantgetausername]

@srt4crazy289 god damnit there are contrails which have a very short life, and there are chemtrails which stay for very long and usually become long trails of clouds drifting(Look it up, illuminated). There are a lot of things that are happening here which we don't know and don't care to know about because of ignorant people like you.

[raphy1123]

@wtficantgetausername you were ignorant enough to believe the people who came up with the chem trails conspiracy. And unlike you the one you calling ignorant has founded and proved arguments, as for those you who believe in the conspiracy don't have PROOF... There are the short life contrails and the long life contrails all this depends on the flight level the aircraft is flying at and the atmospheric conditions at this level

[wtficantgetausername]

@raphy1123 Bullshit! I was just like you when my dad was talking about that! It depends on the altitude that the trail is longer lala its not! Ive done research and ive seen for myself what chemicals they put. Take a sample of the rain after a time of heavy spraying and see what chemicals are there! Those chemicals arent supposed to be naturally in the sky i tell you. And bullshit NO condensation trails get left behind and become THICK HEAVY clouds that drift by! USE LOGIC, friend.

[raphy1123]

@wtficantgetausername Ever heard of relative humidity ? Condensation is when Rel. H. is 100% or more, these conditions are met when an aircraft flies at high altitude because of the very low temperatures. For the rain sample, first of a droplet forms way below an airliner cruise altitude, secondly this droplet passes several layers containing urban pollution. Pollution is when a matter is found in abnormal high quantity's in air. So finding unusual matter in a rain sample is considered normal...

[wtficantgetausername]

@raphy1123 you did not get it! REALLY. condensation OKAY we get that those are contrails! have u seen bullshit chemtrails flying in GRIDS?? it happens all over Europe and those GRIDS arent even part of airways!

watch this tell me what you think SERIOUSLY, about your relative humidity crap

watch?v=ub3gplub1OM

[raphy1123]

@wtficantgetausername yes I did and as a student pilot, we have a whole chapter about these contrails, Internet isn't a reliable source... I'm talking about official manuals...

[Elreddo]

@srt4crazy289 condesation... and carbon dioxide and sulphur etc. left over from the burning of fuel in the cylinders, in this case Kerosene . so it is both.

[EnderWiggin35]

@srt4crazy289 Does condensation hang in the atmosphere for 8 hours at a time? Do multiple condensation trails merge together over the whole sky and cast a haze over entire counties? Can you turn the a condensation trail on or off? No. No. And no again. Weather manipulation or cloud seeding is a little more advanced than 9th grade science.

[TheWingflyer]

@srt4crazy289 Actually, way up there, it's not as much about temp of the air (though slightly as pv = nrt). It's change in pressure. Extreme pressure on aircraft's aerodynamic surfaces, especially the wing tips, compress the air and as it escapes, it expands. The water vapor condenses into droplets you see as fog/clouds.

[buidseach]

@srt4crazy289 ure right but ive seen almost the whole sky covered in dispersed con trails which is bound to trap hot air at night leading to a greenhouse effect.

[Tjita1]

@srt4crazy289 I agree. Something else that is 9th grade science is the ability to use punctuation to make text more readable.

[winterka100]

@illuminated775 Where does the aluminum come from? All of the hot parts of jet turbines are titanium or inconol,Barium? Toxic water vapor.Whe're in trouble with all those clouds made of water vapor. Geo engineered chem trails? Give me a break! Such alarmist Greeny bullshit propaganda.Stick to hugging trees and leave science to scientists.

[bogdog999]

Nighthawk0077, they still run the Formula races at Reno/Stead, as well as the big boy unlimited racers. Redbull is a completely separate entity, and most Reno Air Race fans find the Redbull Air Races boring.

[sharmanboys]

adds fear my f5 trigger

[ScottXC91]

I was almost surprised when Clarkson said 500 pounds is two of him, since he's not all that, well, fat. But it's easy to forget how tall he actually is.

[rgruddell]

whoa big hair from JC

[nighthawk0077]

too bad they got rid of this and went to the slalom style of the redbull race. 300mph from just a 100hp? hmmm so they could break the sound barrier from rougly 650hp I would guess...incredible

[FLY172M]

@nighthawk0077 that's an idea

[EntityGS]

anyone know the song in the beginning?

[cessnaN60128]

No one can convince me that there's anything better than an airshow. Not even the super bowl.

[Surowo]

"Go fast and turn left"....Its just flying nascar :-D

[L3gItSniPZ]

Sign me up!

[yoshyoka]

Why does the american pubblic like so much races which limit piloting skills? When all is required is constantly "turn left" the result of the race is mainly decided by the plane only (besides, it makes the race also become incredibly boring..). Take a look at the Red Bull Air Race and see what really demands skill. And it's allso much more spectacular!

[ezetom]

@yoshyoka

you have no idea what you are talking about..

This is coming from a current Reno air race pilot.

[ezetom]

@yoshyoka

you have no idea what you are talking about..

This is coming from a current Reno air race pilot.

[chrisjeffsmusic]

@yoshyoka someone is misguided....

[ShamanKanowa]

@yoshyoka try turning left in an world war 2 era airplane flying low to the ground at 500 mph. Red Bull Air Races are fun but they are really more stunt flying than speed.

[Aoisoka]

6g's of force in the turns is crazy, how many laps do these races last? It's gotta be hard on someone's physical and mental abilities.

[AlaricAchos]

look at 'red bull air race' makes these guy look like pussys

[bsg1206]

We Americans decided a long time ago that we like going as fast as we can much more than we enjoy going around corners.

[IronPump89]

whats the name of the song at 0:50?

thanks

[RRAvon]

@IronPump89 Underworld - Born Slippy

[mouserorignal]

the best

[1Nekit1]

310 - 340 -.- This sucks! Extra 340l - 380 - 420 :D extra!

[swk959pm]

how old is this video.... even the bugettii veyron is faster than those planes..

[nucleartactician]

@swk959pm No? Those planes can fly like more than 300mph while the Veyron only a measly 253mph.

[rccardude04]

@swk959pm: They veyron is (approximately) 2/3 the top speed with 10 times the horsepower. Ground vehicles can not be compared with air vehicles. It's just not the same thing. It'd be like comparing a PC to a telephone. My PC is faster than your phone! HAH!

[lynch8888]

@swk959pm 0:35

[8literbeater]

@swk959pm dumbass

[NevadaWrangler]

@swk959pm The veyron would only qualify for the biplane or the AT-6 races, the rest blow that damn piece of crap car out of the water.......a car that does more than 310mph formula 1 plane? give me a break.....oh and lets not forget the 500 mph unlimited racers......if you want to say something, think first

[XOROHN]

this yeIIow one Iooks Iike the japanese shinden!

[braveraxeblade]

this is the reason i want to learn to fly. after the marines.

[multiply123]

not really commandro

[EKB1E]

AWESOME!!!!

[archer49d]

For once Jeremy didn't know how to react to a lack of POWER!!!

[copperkipper1]

nascar for planes.

[cliquehop]

Nice Underworld soundtrack, there

[ulusot]

These planes are doing (flave) hundred miles an hour...??

[elbacatran12]

they understeer too much lol

[whitebaron1993]

that is what vintage aircraft should be doing not gathering dust in meuseum!

[FantasticBob7000]

@whitebaron1993 Anyone crashing a historic warplane should be shot.

[NastyNoodle]

These guys are insane do they fly Spitfires?

[PilotBoris]

@NastyNoodle no they are too sophisticated as they go right as well as left

[NastyNoodle]

@PilotBoris Yeah good point Americans cant quite seem to get their heads around the fact that there are right hand corners as well.

[quangluu96]

500miles o.o a little bit more would be breaking the sound barrier

[stuntmustang]

it's simple- 0:55

[lvrpl09]

except i wouldnt want to touch in a plane

[class37trash]

p51 parking only lmao

[SaberTanker22]

Top gear and jeremy are so cool to watch at once =P i can't wait to watch the air races some day.

[klippie27]

Jeremy looks hylarious!

[opmotocrosser]

they should of let the stig fly

[Daytonaman675]

@opmotocrosser The stig's flying cousin?

[mouserorignal]

cool
