The Grand Tour had some rejects on

Post by sswishbone »

Only forum I think that I can put this in without being off-topic but The Grand Tour, aka Top Gear MKII had a couple of F1 rejects moments. Firstly they have a hairpin at their new track called "your name here" and the driver they used to set laptimes in the Porsche 918, Mclaren P1 and Ferrari la Ferrari was none other than Jerome D'Ambrosio. Nice to the spirit of the back marker remains :)

I believe both Luca Badoer and Pierre-Henri Raphanel featured (or were at least referenced) in Top Gear as Ferrari and Bugatti testers respectively.

There was also a brief cameo of Gabriele Tarquini, as Maserati's test driver.
