It certainly says something that with not one but two DRS zones and Pirelli tyres, there was nothing interesting about that race.

This, ladies and gentlemen, explains why NASCAR just can't be taken seriously by people outside the States. "200 miles per damn hour"? Really? This guy drove when NASCAR cars could easily get 240 m/h.

Instead of using a grader to remove the bumps from the track, the organisers of the speedway decided to replace it with a very unique piece of equipment - which didn't work very well (you'll have to watch the video to find out what it is).

Darrell Waltrip probably did half of that on purpose in order to make good TV. That's the kind of person he is. It probably didn't scare him as much as he let on (the quality of the drivers in V8 Supercars I think left him in legitimate awe though), but again, Ol' DW is a showman above all else.

Even above being a racing driver.

Well, he was shaking pretty good when he climbed out of the car!

I think Top Gear already has featured Dutch Reverse Racing... but if they did it was on Old Top Gear, it was the kind of thing Tony Mason was known for reporting on when his Northern tones weren't talking about rallying or vintage cars. When it came round to Reliant Robin racing, he was entered in a race, and as Current Top Gear says, "that's not gone well!"

There are a few archives of Old Top Gear on Youtube and... accessible by other means. If I was ever to watch right through them all I might even find it, if it's there, but I'm sure I remember the cars in that feature being Beetles (presumably with the back axle flipped over). Of course, this being the Netherlands, using their own pride and joy was the logical move, because those DAF Variomatic gearboxes could go just as fast in reverse as they could forwards. I'll bet that was a right barrel of laughs on the streets of Amsterdam.

I do believe that is the understatement of the day! That video must feature on every other page of this thread, I think perhaps it should be a rite of passage for new members, if they can't identify cars and drivers with the commentary turned off, they don't deserve to join!
