  • Proud to be Scottish! Sir jackie

  • Nina Simone - Sinnerman

  • What's the song at 4:21? I've heard it in some other Top Gear videos and I like that "riff"

  • I love that song that played at the beginning. Anyone know its name?

  • @NOXXism Do you mean as JYS enters? It's The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, used as the BBC theme tune for their F1 coverage.

  • @TimBrewin Thanks a lot! I've been searching for it everywhere!

  • Plenty of gems in there. Thanks Jackie!

  • the tuscan is one fugly car...Sir Jackie Stewart makes it epic

  • Haha Jackie is straining to see over the wheel :)

  • This is one of my favorite Top Gear clips, Sir Jackie is a legend!

  • "Jackie Stewart is 66. A pensioner. Except no-one seems to have told him that."

  • Wow I'm impressed my dad made me look this up I am quite impressed and this is coming from a 13 year old

  • Boy, there are some nice gems in there. And interesting to see Jackie's acceleration being a step function.

  • "The devil knows more from experience than from being the devil"

    Thank you very much Jackie for been such a great teacher!!!!!

  • what is the song at 4:20 ???????????

  • @robdavis16 Nina Simone, Felix Da Housecat - Sinnerman

  • Jackie S. commentated for years with ABC sports for the Indy 500. I was 18 years old and it was Senior cut day from High School & over half of the boys were drinking or Drunk! Jackie Stewart suddenly drive by and parks his ABC golf cart near Gasoline ally! 5 drunken boys jump and drove off with his cart! I can still remember him yelling and chasing my classmates! You houligans bring back me F%@kin Cart!

  • Captain slow actually is a very good driver

  • HAHAHA Yoda mode!!

  • I guess Captain Slow isn't slow anymore. If Jackie Stewart could teach May to drive fast, he has gotta be one of the best drivers/teachers in the world. And the fact that he chose a TVR to learn on is just incredible.

  • Lewis Hamilton? Damon Hill? Jenson Button?

    no no, the greatest British racing driver ever is without doubt Jackie Stewart

  • @BlakeInternational 27 wins, 3 WDCs, 99 starts.

  • @BlakeInternational no doubt! but you also much check out jim clark!!!

  • its funny how my comment from 8 months ago is still up here and at that time it wasn't as annoying as it is now for "thumb this comment" crap lol

  • ah jesus christa. this reminds me of May's Monaco lap.

  • ok leo you get away with it this time.

  • take that, jeremy!

    

  • im amazed those tires lasted all day

  • Fuhh Poweh!

  • The Exit of the Corner is far more important than Entry of the Corner, which requires smoothens and the keys to it is Never press the gas paddle until know u don't have to take it off ---- thumbs up for these words ....

  • @lambooo Unless you're in one of the forms of racing where trail braking is necessary, in which case you're in various stages of gas through most of the turns. And the thumbs thing is dumb.

  • JS "Don't put the power on until you know you don't have to take it off" brilliant advice, any driver who wants to be better at control then listen to every word JS has to say in these 8 minutes.

  • Found it! The song that starts at 4:51 is called "Why Can't We Live Together" by Timmy Thomas. Hahaha now I get the cheeky humour. The intention was humour, not music.

  • What's the song that starts at 4:51? I vaguely remember, but unable to recall the name. Thanks!

  • Anyone know the song that plays at 00:20.

  • @GSXRMANIAC Fleetwood Mac - The Chain, the guitar piece starts about 3 minutes into the song

  • Song? Wake up & get your heads together! if you have any interest in Motor Racing or driving, this is Sir Jackie Stewart, one of the greatest of all time: Just listen to the 3 time World Champion and e v e r y word he says because he's BANG ON! You can learn more from this than from anybody else out there! James May should no longer be Captain Slow -thanks be to Jackie Stewart who took talked him through and cut 20 seconds of his lap time! May could comfortably beat Clarkson & Hammond now.

  • whats the song at 4.50 ?

  • this is not the original version, this looks like another shitty remasterd bbcyoutube version.

  • what's the song at 4:17?

  • whats the song at 5:50 ?

  • He maybe improving but what about the fuel level? Like F1, the drivers go quicker as the fuel level drops, or does it not make any difference in a Tuscan in terms of Fuel?

  • @formula1nh

    Current F1 cars carry more than 100kg of fuel in a car that weights 640kg including driver.

    The Tuscan has a maximum fuel capacity of around 40kg and weights 1100kg excluding driver.

    The fuel load in the Tuscan is negligible.

  • @Molo9000 ahah right I see, cheers

  • @formula1nh That's the secret to these improve your driving skill trackdays.

  • @Zeggawong ino yeah

  • I'd give a nut to take a ride with Jackie Stewart.

  • Absolutely, a dream come true!

  • Jackie you true legend!

  • What's the name of the song that starts at 4:18 please?

  • @ViruTypeR Nina Simone, Felix Da Housecat - Sinnerman

  • @criticcc

    Thanks i found the other day, it appears in a HTC spot too.

  • he can be the stig's sensai

  • "never press the gas pedal, until you know you will never have to take it off."

  • @arena2101 one of the best advices ive ever heard about driving =)

  • what track is this?

  • @Alexandru017 Oulton Park

  • @kedharf1 Thanks a lot but i was wondering about what configuration of the track,thanks anyway .

  • @Alexandru017 The full length configuration.

  • The news?

  • Jackie Stewart's view on throttle technique kind of contradicts other f1 drivers' throttle technique such as Ayrton Senna's where he would go on and off the throttle like 6 times during a corner, isnt it?

  • @mongoose416

    Yes, because cars at Jackie's day were ground effect cars, they drive completly differently compared to cars after 1990, since newer were are more of downforce cars than ground effect cars that slide more in turns, also engines at Jackie's day were slower lower revving than after 1990 that revved right up to max nearly 20000 rpm with full throttle in just fractions of seconds. Also in GT cars Jackie's way of using throttle works better than Ayrton Senna's way of using throttle.

  • @Phuga85 Wrong regards ground effects during Jackie Stewart's era.

    He drove F1 from 1965 until the end of 1973, and ground effects cars did not appear until the Lotus 78 in 1977.

  • @zuss10r Actually its not wrong, all formula 1 cars at that age got most grip from tires and from ground effect, even tought the cars werent build that in mind, they still had alot of ground effect but most grip came from tires.

    So they are somewhere in betwean ground effect and mechanical grip cars, call them semi-ground effect cars.

  • @Phuga85 Do your homework! None of Jackie's cars were ground effect!

  • Capt. Slow's hell is my Heaven!!!!

  • Enormously envious of Mr. May's legendary experience.

  • brake. brakebrakeBRAKE. BRAKE. BRAKE

  • I think after the Black Stig and the 1st White got exposed they've wizened up and hired Sir Jackie, what a marvelous man.

  • The plaid Gatsby says it all.

  • a philosopher.

  • whats the song at 3:48 ?

  • Sir Jack, what a pilot. Love his advice before The Prodigy music kicks in, Spot on, Genius.

  • age = experience

  • I can't imagine what private driving instruction with Stewart would cost. I hope Cptn Slow appreciated just how rare an opportunity he had there.

  • it's all about getting the car in to the apex, and just as you are at the apex, you slowly apply more and more throttle as your steering input becomes less and less. That way, you don't ever "shock" the car with a sharp input. The tires on the car will actually allow you to access more of their grip by progressively reaching the limit vs. using a sharp steering input. They, just like the throttle example, will overwhelm the tire without really reaching their limit. I hope this all makes sense.

  • @xMswmSwmsWx

    one word: inertia

    =)

  • The gas input thing has been misunderstood here. What Jackie was trying to say is that once you start applying the throttle, make sure you have reached a point where you will not have to back off of it again. He is not saying to wait until you can gun it, because if you "gunned it" out of a turn with a high powered rear wheel drive car, you'll spin the car. He's saying that it is a progressive application of the throttle. When driving my '81 911, (I used to race pro with an Audi a4touring car i

  • lucky for captin slow

  • What would you pay for this tuition including the backroom analysis?  Worth £1k I reckon!

  • @johnnytenjobs I thought I would be worth like 2-3000 Dollars! :-) For the day or weekend.. Pretty awesome.. Very much worth it..

  • ive gotten track instruction like this and its amazing

  • Jackie is the masta!

  • James May looks a bit like Ronnie Peterson :-)

  • Dear Santa all i want for christmas is a trackday with Sir Jackie

  • James May doesn't look that slow to me. He's a very good driver and sometimes hysterically funny! I like Clarkson and Hammond just as much, they really are an incredible trio on Top Gear!

  • Jackie Stewart is Yoda lol

  • thanks leo! this was awesome....

  • FLD!!!

  • which episode does clarkson drive at laguna seca?

  • I would not mind owning this car. I appreciate the styling. Anyone have one that they would be willing to give me?

  • hey whats the song at 4:18 i think its from the htc phone commercials

  • hes still caption slow

  • Thumbs Up if Fast Lane Daily sent you here lol

  • @doggiepowers race sim central did

  • @TheEgg185 lol ok in that case nvm lol

  • @doggiepowers This is very ironic, your comment is 8 months old.

  • @doggiepowers wait what how is it 8 months old? TIMETRAVELING?

  • @JonastyTheNasty i'm going to take a guess but leo used this video again in his shakedown playlist.

  • capt, slow? capt. smooth

  • Awesome video : )

  • wtf is james wearing on his feet at 5:02?

  • @lagundafire lmao wtf are they his wifes lol...

  • I've played several F1 racing games, and after watching this video, and listening to Jackie, my laptimes on most tracks improved by 1 to 2 seconds. Seriously.

  • go captain slow!! 

  • I wonder if Jackie was ever thinking, "I've risked my ass in F1 cars all over the world and I'm going to get killed riding with some TV guy!!"

  • @markko17 nope, the Ford executives who use to drive with Sir Stewart were worse drivers I bet.

  • @markko17 Driving in that car probably felt like a walk in the park. Even with Captain Slow at the wheel.

  • Comment removed

  • @jibbstyla what kinda license you talking about pal?

  • Great job cpt. Slow!!

    

  • @jibbstyla other than not doing it if you realy want to do it get a supra

  • The Genius of Sir Jackie: Pay attention to every word he says Guys! -if you want to learn to be a racer! Invaluable Not only does he teach what he KNOWS but he can still DO IT! He made a record run on the track that day! (a few years ago) Well Into his 60's & still able to blast around a track! Amazing or what?

    I would be surprised if after these Xpert lessons from the Master in a head 2 head James doesn't beat Jezza & Hammond if he put his mind to it! JS was coaching young drivers for F1 then

  • Whats teh song at 4:17 ? PLEASE

  • @mirazas1 Nina Simone - Sinnerman

  • @jibbstyla  manaro

  • @jibbstyla

    Yes, don't do it.

  • @kdaly78 Go find the most cruel but still fastest way to end what you call your life, you piece of dirt.

  • @cantfindanamedamnit Ask Roger Williamson orDavid Purley what the think of the great Jackie stewart PRICK

  • @kdaly78 Jackie Stewart is the man who saved Formula 1 from being cancelled from being too dangerous. It's better for it to be boring than it to be cancelled in the 80's so STFU! Go suck off your dad you dick

  • I´ve learned more watching this than all the F1 races so far.

    Jackie Stewart rules.

  • Impressive reduction in time, but Stewart is still about eight seconds quicker, and despite his credentials not as quick as someone who races regularly.

    Just shows the difference between the keen amateur and the best professional drivers.

  • @avril2 And I doubt he gave it as much effort as he would in a real race. He could probably knock another second or two off the time.

  • The great scot...........who am I to complain. Jackie was the best.

  • no more captain slow

  • Jackie Stewart, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Mika Hakkinen, so far the great drivers to ever exist. A lesson from Jackie though, that's a league of it's own.

  • @JDBMW1 i'd add a certain Jim Clark to that list.....

  • @ougal84 agree. he was our best ever driver

  • @ougal84 Jim Clark= no. 1 in my book :)

  • @JDBMW1 @ 3:35

    Absolutely"! But I can't understand why you shouldn't go on and off the throttle. This a way to control the car. My God, the great Ayrton Senna used to do that almost always, his throttle movement was so quick and impressive (for hearing and watching) and it made him maybe the fastest of all time, so I can't see the point, except only if Jackie meant it going COMPLETELY off... Than 100 % agree.

  • @hansinka: You don't want to keep getting on and off the gas because when you do that, the weight of the car shifts back and forth, changing the amount of grip you have in front and in back. When trying to drive close to the limit in a corner, that causes the tires to slip sideways when there isn't enough grip. Once they start slipping, you have to slow down to allow the tires to grip again. You end up going slower than if you just let the car "roll" through the corner without sliding.

  • @almostfm They just think they can go faster, then realize they can't. Then they try again half a second later, and find out they can't. It's best not to use trial and error like that. You should know when to gun it. Its faster that way because you don't have to keep slowing down.

  • what's that song at 4:20??? please!!

  • Man, I would LOVE to have Jackie Stewart teach me how to drive better like that! What an honor!

  • @3:10 Does anyone notice the one song from Test Drive Unlimited buried in there?

  • can't remember which series this is from

  • what's the song @ 3:49 ?

  • Mc legend lol

  • 4:55 LOL james mays shoes! :D

  • jeremy always looks about 10-20 meters of the car , thats the oposite of what he had to do

  • Captain Slow going fast. Wonders are not out of the world, or they? :P

  • i love how after all that, he was still 8 seconds off stewart's time which he did at first attempt...

  • @FormulaOneFan4Eva but well. 3 times world champion verus racing novice. 8 seconds aint half bad for a one day attempt

  • Jackie Stewart Legend..

    James May Legend = D

  • JYS is such an inspiring man. His book "Winning is not enough" gave me a new perspective on life.

  • Jackie is such a great driver and has the rare ability to impart his knowledge to others. Take a look on here at some of the totally useless ego-driven amateur efforts (mostly american, hmmmm...) to tell us how to drive and it puts it into perspective.

    What a star.

  • Listen to Jackie's 'Yoda mode' comment about approaching a vicious dog. Impressive driving instruction.

  • Grangratulations from Brazil

  • what episode is this???

  • James May is the new Stig surely,
