[WisdomeSage1989]

LOLLLLLLLLLLL ROFL OMG!

[MrSwedeman]

looked more like stock car racing with family buses

[solobasso]

everybody wins!!

[Ferrari73703]

I do that a lot with 3 Serenas (For >16 year-olds), 2 Espaces and Evasions, and 1 Previa, Fiat Multipla, Space Wagon, Nevada, and a 504 Renforcé.

I usually drive the Multipla but it's so hard to identify it!

[Ferrari73703]

If anyone wants to do that, here are 6 used MPVs for sale in the UK:

Kia Sedona 2.9 Turbo Diesel in Erskine for £3,950

Mitsubishi Space Star 1.6 Petrol in Redruth for £1,495

Renault Scenic Dynam. VVT 111 1.6 Petrol in London for £3,550

Mitsubishi Chariot Gdi 2.4 Petrol in Colchester for £2,500

Vauxhall Zafira Dti 2.0 Diesel in Southampton for £2,995

Ford Galaxy Ghia TDi 1.9 Diesel in Calne for £2,795

Total Cost: £17,285.

So, don't buy an E Class, buy a C Class and these 6 MPVs.

[FuneralDust666]

[superjta59]

[badyearXY]

[XenonDNB]

45 people can't afford posh under crackers

[AcidiKaLzZ]

Thumps up if you saw the cockroach on the window at 5:45 lol

[TeamHKSR33]

WAH.....WHERES THE ESPACE F1?!

[FLAME4564]

@TeamHKSR33 obviously the Espace F1 was not around for multiple reasons. Possible in the early days when the Espace itself was first launched there was no such thing and probbly cuz They couldent afford one.

[TeamHKSR33]

@FLAME4564 well we can all say they got a little bit of money from a certain company in japan if you get the hint

[hotoproductions600]

Stupid peapie

[ErosaScuderia]

@jomelcool123 - No it won't, and your self esteem has just gotten worse.

[ConnorLeeWithSomeTea]

@jomelcool123 no it wont.

[coolioisafoolio]

HAHA this is awesome.

[PapiLewis]

CHAMPION!

[Joniel120]

You should include Nissan Urvan & Mitsubishi L300 Van Almazora body!!!

[xelvemagicx]

did daddy pay for you to go racing again chilton ey coochy coo awwww bless

[hejjagedu]

@xelvemagicx u jelly

[xelvemagicx]

@hejjagedu strawberry please : )

[FLAME4564]

hah i think Hammond definatly has a point here.

historic People Carrier Racing is quite entertaining and amusing at the same time XD i mean put a pimped up Toyota tarago in THAT race and all those other minivans would take a serious asskicking from it.

In other words IN UR FACE NASCAR!!.

[FLAME4564]

heh i bet even a pimped up Toyota Tarago with one of those bullbars on the front could outmuscle all of those minivans in this race.

[BlakeBergy]

how much do I not want to have a "diesel serena"...

[DjRjSolarStar]

These cars make me glad to have a civic

[XHikotheproX]

pause at 1:26

[t3hsilent1]

lol that bug was like wtf is going on

[chingy1788]

I want to see how fast my Mitsubishi Nimbus can go... for comedic reasons...

[ALEXANDER1318]

It's like nascar but then for housewives (joke)

[TheMayb3]

5:44 punched my srend cuz i thought there was a bug on it

[PapiLewis]

Champion!

[lobster9207]

i dont get it.... vw t-series was also a people carrier but since 1950 and not just 1984.

[MrLW25]

I know that Nissan Serenas shouldn't be compared with Bugatti Veyrons, but the Veyron can get way past 200mph in the time the Serena gets to 60.

[XenonDNB]

.... Once described by consumer experts as: highly unstable. LOL

[EgaoNoGenki]

On Gran Turismo 4, I souped up a Honda Odyssey minivan to get it to 165 MPH without a nitrous.

[captainpegs07]

I'm canceling my progressive insurance

[Segasaturn95]

I would pay to watch this live. :P

[HECZandEDITION]

@Segasaturn95 i think you would probably have to mate.

[rock3tcat]

That single race was more entertaining than the last 10 years of F1...

[MrChris1316]

ok as usual top gear talk half truths.the car was developed by chrysler and matra on a chrysler alpine floorplan,(look at the headlights on the earliest ,pure reverse slope alpine.the silk shorts comment was by Filmer Paradice ,head of chrysler uk design at the time.peugeot bought chrysler europe for a dollar and didnt want matra so it was sold to renalt with the chrysler alpine people carrier on the books.enter a r18 floorpan and voila

[med1warman]

pause at 0.00 and look atrichards face ;)

[HateFuckingVolvos]

its unfortunate that your top racing drivers are no one the rest of the world has ever heard of or this would have been a very entertaining video, fucking limies

[ampz37]

where do i sign up?

[Acetactular]

3:44 =]

[sakda357]

Very exciting race.

[BornInTheCreek]

this was awesome

[robertzelxxx]

5:44 :)) fly

[Arnechk]

This would be epic stuff!

[brownbro11]

if you pause it and drag the marker all the way back to the beginning hammond has a funny look on his face

[LegoSpaceWorms]

hammonds races are always awesome !!!!

[BURNER124742]

0:31

[xXKacapsXx]

[PaulGiffs]

I have a Silver Toyota Sienna on my dining room table.

[juggernautleo12]

[Jerrydudebad]

@juggernautleo12 Nice underbite mate

[theotherguy245689]

3:44 and just when i thought i wouldnt here any more champion...

[neonfreak04]

This type of racing deserves to have it's own recognition. This needs to happen because it really did look like a lot of fun and it's was actually really cool to watch.

[fordxbgtfalcon]

in america we call this soccer mom racing...

[68thelzeppelin]

very funny and cool but the best top gear race is the one of the airport luggage carriers

[knightrous21]

This looks like so much fun!

[rcbuggyracingya]

i probably winn over them whit my 69' puch

[wanashraf]

LOL at the fly at the rear screen

[scatman0707]

@wanashraf I can hear the fly screaming, "QUICK!! MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND!!"

[wanashraf]

what does it mean by mid engined?

[killalmostwise]

@wanashraf Engine is located in front of rear axle (i.e middle of the car). :)

[ultimatedriftkid]

@wanashraf it means the engine is in the middls for better wait distribution

[FLAME4564]

@wanashraf i think what that is actualy reffering to is.

Mid Engined Rear Drive.

[momodragon]

yeahhh go toyota previa !!!!best ppl carrier ever !!!

[igzy96]

0-60 in 28 seconds :O!

[digitalrailroader]

actually, the First MPV/Minivan was/Still is The Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan. but I bet they couldn't find a 1st Gen Caravan in the UK.

[killalmostwise]

@digitalrailroader The Dodge began production in '84, same as the Espace (according to wiki)

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

they should of let the drivers spend less than 1000 pounds on the cars in mods..haha

[goalsave1]

5:25 EPIC!!

[024Vishal]

Airport vehicle race was better but this was still pretty awesome.

[acco1840]

....................CHAMPION!!­!!!!!!!

[thirsokewl]

I drive a Previa woot1

[BumbleBeeGS]

No Plymouth Voyager? Lol

[yungkidnf]

@BumbleBeeGS sad but tru :( its for the better, it would have been a quick victory for it

[BumbleBeeGS]

@yungkidnf yep. roaring v6 ftw xD

[pilotbrooks7]

[Allexxx96Reloaded]

[sleepzca]

@pilotbrooks7 or press 0

[Nico96as]

@pilotbrooks7 its like an undersized piranha

[pissenify]

reunalt e spas!

[lehokristof]

this is so typical from richard: fifteen laps, no body contact... with touring car champs :'DDD and 3:46: "CHAMPION (y)" freakin funny :DD

[Itzmyrave]

It's CHAMPIONIC CHAMPIONSHIP between the CHAMPIONS OF CHAMPIONS in the CHAMPION race to determine who's a real CHAMPION OF THE CHAMPIONS

[Kinemacolour]

So I guess a People Carrier is the same as a Minivan.

[fenderguitarplaya11]

Richard Hammond always has a funny face anytime you pause it on him. You really cant make it look normal yet he is fine when the video is going. lol

[craigmabbit89]

has any1 seen a bug at 5:44?

[46sanjeevan]

when he says "NO BODY CONTACT " it means the exact opposite. this also happened in the airport transport racing challenge.

[46sanjeevan]

when he says "NO BODY CONTACT " it means the exact opposite.

[Birdman283]

I can't take seeing the Mini Countryman anymore, shit name, shit looking

[dudewuttheheck]

champion!:D

[ataymood]

hey just look at the clouds @ 1:21 did you noticed something?

[microbaltik]

@ataymood I had a look... What were you talking about ?

[ataymood]

@microbaltik it looks like the clouds where not naturally being there,

it was like planted.. or seeded what ever they call it.. they were parallel and the thin ones are perpendicular to.. or it may be caused by a jetplane,, well never mind.. maybe i just saw something that just caught my eye, because i love to watch the clouds everyday,, heheheh...

[SlimJ1992]

@ataymood i had a look too, what do you see?

[ataymood]

@SlimJ1992 it looks like the clouds where not naturally being there,

it was like planted.. or seeded what ever they call it.. they were parallel and the thin ones are perpendicular to.. or it may be caused by a jetplane,, well never mind.. maybe i just saw something that just caught my eye, because i love to watch the clouds everyday,, heheheh...

[edisonlascano]

I had a Toyota Previa while living in USA, the most wonderful car I ever had.

We had to sell it when coming back to Ecuador, and, we still miss that car, specially my kids... we run a lot of that car and even we climbed some mountains

[NFSJason]

LOL my mom has a toyota previa XD

[stonee206]

@NFSJason LOL, see the crash test of it... if ur mom has a crash... she is DEAD

[w00tchocolate]

Hammond looks so happy :3

[Parody42]

Champion! :D

[butchd2009]

i like how some have diesels and hammonds is the v6

[shibbster1337]

Thats what they should do with all old card, give em to us and let us thrash the crap out of em on a touring car track :) <3 Top Gear!

[81broncoman]

I think this sport has serious potential in the USA, you can get a working minivan for like 200 bucks and take it racing because its going so slow you dont really need safety gear.

[S0171238]

@81broncoman I found an error in your plan...did you saw the right turns ? That is an unknown thing in american racing :-)

[81broncoman]

@S0171238

Yeah, i noticed that they are racing the wrong way around the track, probably to keep the driver on the inside of the turn when they hit the outer wall. In America our driver is actually on the correct side of the car, so in response I think that in The American People Carrier Race of Destiny I have planned we will be reasonable and turn left on the oval instead of right, for safety sake.

[pkfreevampirehunter]

@81broncoman until you crash into each other :P

[dcraig2204]

is that a circle track in brittan? is evreything bass akwards over there?

[MaddDogg81]

There should be a law about how long a car get's to 0-60mph in less than 12 seconds

[madandyb]

Touring Car drivers have to ram one another!! Dunno why?

[ENaph]

Insane!!!

[kuryakyn1]

It's Mid-Engined... just like a Ferrari...

[basheersubei]

@kuryakyn1 lol we have a Previa just like that one!!!

[EPICFAIL2603]

Champion!

[kipzonderkop1994]

get a betr cer dude

[akkashtin]

ahahaha 6:30 ahhah!

[salos4ever]

5:07 cant stop laughing xD

[1991FordLTD]

1984... same year as the first American minivan, the Dodge Caravan.

[deltavee2]

Just a quick word to Google. Shove your advertising up your **s. Not that you give a damn as long as the advert money comes in. You didn't get it, you don't get it now and you never will. Watching Americans and money is like watching a drunk with a bottle of Wild Turkey.

[urmomsayswhat]

thats the best race series ever lol

[1000SBK]

that race was more entertaining than NASCAR

[kristiansamulski]

@1000SBK i think aaannnnnyyyything is....

[yomama629]

@1000SBK what isn't?

[NotanAmericanIdiot13]

@1000SBK what isnt?

[MrPlaystation95]

@1000SBK any race is more intrestin than NASCAR

[Thomazzo131195]

Britain's slowest accelerating car. 0-60 28 seconds The Suzuki Jumny Diesel did 30 second from 0-60 :P

[poretobatido]

"there was more action in that one race than in a whole year of formula one" says clarckson. you should try ro watch btcc. nowadays it's like stock car racing but in grand prix tracks

[nayrphantom]

3:44

[alexat410]

hey u know what i noticed is that they were doing the same thing as renault which was thinking that their product would make alot of money and look what happen to the espas

[lilruc]

It's a van?

[The03GTSTANG]

look up the espace f1 that thing is amazing...

[overlordspencerman]

No dodge caravan? This is bs. The caravan was out before the espace, maybe not in Europe but here in the US for sure.

[boxedrice]

@overlordspencerman That isbecause it's a British show.

[OverlordR]

Was that a roach crawling on the back window of one of them at 5:46?

[razzberry315]

@OverlordR it's a fly

[habalbu]

''15 laps and no body contact'' - that's what they all say...

[asthmaticpoet]

@habalbu what they should say is... 15 laps full contact allowed. 1st corner richard hammond is on his roof.

[rivbro91]

Fuck YOUTUBE! FUCK YOU AND YOUR GODDAMN ADS!

[luukvideo]

@rivbro91 hit F5

[KamiKazeKrepe]

@rivbro91 you would be paying to even be on youtube without ads 

[rivbro91]

@KamiKazeKrepe I wouldn't pay for a video service bro.. I normally watch car videos on streetfire.

[SmAeSlY]

Man, how many champion's..XD I LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE Richard Hammond <3 XD

[bkzcraziestdude]

[canammx1]
