I wonder what the raptor did i would guess 9:50. If Top Gear UK (the good one lol) could get a ford transit around in 10:28 that has almost 300 hp less than the raptor.


BTW if anyone has a chance to go to the ring i would highly recommend it its such a cool experience, I was there 5 years ago

I agree. wasted a minute and a half of my unemployed life. Give me a break!!

No time!!

Nothing but a butt kissing fest for Tanner "The Showoff" Foust

On top of that, one of the 2 episodes of Top Gear USA (another Joke) he cheated by using an F-450 (1.5 ton truck) when the other guys had 1-ton trucks, PER THE RULES of the CHALLENGE!!

I know how his lap went..

"14.57!! SAY WHAT!! OK GUYS, lets edit this thing down to just show me TRYING to get this thing around here Like Jeremy Clarkson did in the DIESEL powered JAG!!!"

Someone needs to tell him to concentrate on being a race driver and stop trying to shove his face into everything on the planet!!

Here was a video by someone in Germany that was a spectator... look at 0:15, you can see that idiotic hat thru the drivers window!!

Default Tanner Foust

Was thinking he might derby off track or cut the course somewhere? Guess he didn't want to take out any German forest beer drinkers.

Couple years ago while riding MC's with a buddy in So. CA we saw a video promo for Scion being shot by Tanner. It was at the famous Rock Store on Mulholland Highway. We almost got caught up in the road closure before he did the run.

We heard the noise from down below the canyon yet had no clue what was going on. While riding up the highway a CHP motor cop almost clocked me going wide around a turn. Think the dark black tire lines had us all hypnotized. Freaked me out! When we got to top of the hill we realized what was taking place.

(street drift Mulholland)
If you liked that take a look at the inside bit....
