I saw that too! The only shot I saw was from the rear when it was launching off the line. I wonder if the owner is on here?

BTW, I thought Tanner's co-driver in that segment was pretty damned attractive.

Having driven my car a number of dirt roads all around the mountains all I can say is that this car is soooo much fun on gravel. It's just like driving in the snow/rain and it just lets go in such a predictable way. It's awesome to see this car being used in all areas of Motorsport like a bmw or porsche.

My understanding is that it's a (twin?) turbo build by Nameless Performance, the same guys who haven't released a header yet.

Finally watched the episode last night. So glad Top Gear did a feature with DirtFish. I've taken a course with them and their facility was insane, instructors were awesome, worth every penny.

Car is at least designed/built by the guys from Nameless Performance and driven by Will Orders (who previously ran an S13 rally car!)

TBH, I'm starting to get tired of TG UK (I can honestly say that I found last season somewhat boring). TG USA is at least semi-fresh. I keep finding myself coming back, so they must be doing something right.

Caught it last night! Great looking car. I was all, wait, go back, let's see that one, get out of the way Tanner!

I second that. And, she got visibly excited when the VCS broke on the car so it could slide more. My kinda gal.

I thought this episode was probably their best one yet. I think they are starting to come into their own a bit. I still think TG-UK is better, but it should be, they've been at it longer.

Is the Rally FR-S AWD? I couldn't tell.

Also, having watched TG:US from episode 1, I can tell you it started out crappy, but its improved with each season. They are also getting more attention, and you can tell that their production budget has increased quite a bit for this season. If they aren't cancelled in the next year, my guess is that we may see a US/UK crossover

Edit: Also would love to know if the Vanquish driven By Rutlidge in the "final race" was the same one driven by James May in their most recent American Adventure. Looks very familiar.

From what I understand, it is the same one used for the majority of press relations, so I would say yes.
