I love KZhead’s algorithms sick twisted sense of humour
I was thinking that too
I was about to search for newest, but you don’t Even need to Very sad 🇺🇦
I got about 5 seconds in right after reading this. Holy shit.

Hammond patiently waiting for the cops at max RPM puts me in tears
In a good way or a bad way?

what killed me was watching the cop look back at the car like "why is it making that awful noise"
Ian LaMontagne ikr
James: Uses Science and very intelligent techniques...lasts the longest. Jeremy: Uses decently intelligent techniques...lasts until Chernobyl. Hammond: Accidentally makes his car more aerodynamic and swerves like an idiot the whole way...runs out way before Chernobyl.
What made Hammond win was the police!!
@@tiagopatricio3805pretty much by making him sit there and rev the car.
Bruh Hammond's technique was the most intelligent
It’s when he got pulled over when it clicked that oh shit that’s actually a good idea

@Ian Robert Turner Syria and Ukraine both have a big history of conflict, especially Syria.

Well, you have to admit that the Russians have this challenge easier with their Kamaz trucks chugging 100 litres per 100 kilometres.
@@vaclavcervinka65 as well as having a largely corrupted conscript army moving logistics with low morale. The fuel must running through their hands really quickly.
TONIGHT The Russian army does a fuel race to Kyiv. Farmers steal equipment with old Tractors. And Ukrainians valiantly fight against the invaders. God bless Ukraine and here's to an end to Putin's useless war
The Russians have been absolutely nailing it so far. I keep seeing pictures of tanks that have just run out of fuel.

2:38 I love those instances where you can see the look on Hammond’s face when he realises what he’s done
SLAVA UKRAINE
To me the brake and accelerate technique would seem most effective. Just because by braking you evaporate all of your kinetic energy into thin air (well heat technically) and you get to lose a lot of fuel every time you accelerate again
yeah that's what I thought too.
100% that was the secret sauce for Hammond's win. Absolutely nothing can destroy mileage like the brakes. It's why some people get 60mpg in a Prius and others get 38.
Only other way would be also dragging the brakes
This is correct mate. The kinetic energy was the secret. More precisely putting most of energy in building up the kinetic energy. The fuel consumption is of the scale when you pushing all the weight from almost halt
@JETZcorp hold the accelerator and brake together and let it rev to 6000 or whatever it goes in first gear. The engine and brake pads won't thank you but it will use the most fuel. Even in an economy car it will get like 5mpg!
Richard Hammond - car journalist, tv host and man who ran out of fuel on the road near Kyiv a full 8 years before the Russian Army

pick your character
What I've learnt is there's two ways to increase rolling resistance: a) Carefully reduce tyre pressure by 30% of optimum b) Add bricks to your car
Cool profile photo dude
And accelerating and beaking while driving like a maniac
Putting bricks inside your car doesn't only add rol resistance tho.
@@jeltje50 it will, the more weight the greater the surface area in contact with the road
@@Benjamin-bj6xj yeah I know. My point is that it doesn't ONLY add it. The overall weight increases so.
I miss old TV show challenges like these, they're much more entertaining to watch than today's challenges. Like "first to get to Chernobyl receives a year's worth of background radiation"
4:15 they are driving past Butcha and Irpin. Crazy to think about it...

I think hè did not want to go , and makes it logica for us why
Like driving in a straight line, uphill, downhill, ect...
In tonight's episode of Top Gear: 2:21 Jeremy Clarkson develops an addiction to bricks, 4:32 James May becomes a nuclear physicist and 5:29 Richard Hammond is arrested for committing war crimes in Ukraine [ *Opening theme kicks in* ].
Hammond tries to do his best impersonation of a Russian tank.
Tonight on Bottom Gear...
What a sad state of affairs. I saw a reddit of a guy in an evacuation zone. He said he didnt want to leave his home and his country. He and a friend got loads of booze and drank till they blacked out not knowing if they’d wake up. Its sad. I hope he made it out but I know he didnt want to
@@sheevpalpatine2418 are you for real? This guy is talking about someone’s possible death, and you say “I can’t like this because it’s at 69 likes.” Like, what?
When this first aired, my family was sitting watching and at the end my mother is like "they didn't really go to Chernobyl". We're insisting "yes". So she pulls out her laptop and goggles "visiting Chernobyl" and the first link clicks on says "Chernobyl guided tours. We just welcomed the crew of Top Gear." With a picture of Jezza, Captain Slow and Hamster.
there is such athing!?
Charra and Aik. Yes the radiation hotspots can be dodged by the tour guides so apart from a little bit of gamma, you’re all good to go
Getting radiation from the outside isn't usually the issue... You'd be fine living in chernobyl, especially if not lying on the ground. ingesting stuff that radiates inside you for after ingestion is the issue.
Actually, your mother was quite right for wrong reasons. Yes, you CAN get guided tours to exclusion zone. You can even stay the night. But nowhere in the show did they go to actual town of Chornobil. They went to Pripiat (where NPP was) instead, which is not even on Kiev-Chornobil route.
@@charraandaik4938 Of course. It was 30 years since the accident and while some elements have few thousand years half life, they are not quite radioactive. Stable elements have HL of infinity. The dangerous ones have half life between few days and few years and are more or less gone by now.
6:12 I love the police officer's awkward stare as Hammond just sits there max revving the engine.
The police probably thinking "What on earth is he doing?"

@Sandwich Cheddar maybe
Honestly, I could listen for hours of James explaining things.
Been there in 2019 for a two day trip, its definitely a unique experience, and while the radiation is a lot higher in places than standard background radiation, its still pretty safe, plus there's thousands of people constantly working there - scientists, technicians, military, there's even a restaurant, canteen and hotel there (well, a hotel in the loosest posible terms, as it looks like it's a student dorm room from soviet union)
I never realized that James is driving the *DACIA SANDERO*
Great news!
Oh no.... Anyway
Thats the Dacia Sandero!
@@nedcolville950 what?

Still better than Americans at Vietnam and afganistan 🤣
Imagine seeing jeremy drivin around like this 7:24
finally found the song at 7:00 after all these years. It's midnight train by Baltic Fleet
Very good song
I like how May and Clarkson were adjusting their cars to use more fuel, but Hammond adjusted his in case he got there.
And hammond was the one that ended up running out first.
@@Fay-or3yo yup
that's the joke
@@Fay-or3yo he always finishes first ask his wife
If anything, Hammond was making it harder for himself, because not only was the car more aerodynamic, if any radioactive dust got in, it would've been trapped because he sealed off some possible escape routes for the air, but still, he made it work. Also in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, "Richard Hammond may be stupid and a rampant racist, but he's quite practical."

@@Lastname6955 facts disagree with you

@@just__jt oh, i thought he meant that it was the otherway in context of the ukraine situation, saying that the ukraine military is facing this issue
Just imagine how fast it would run out if there was another car that did what James, Jeremy and Hammond did combined
Is this the greatest Television series of all time? Surely it's up there, these 3 just put up amazing episodes after amazing episodes.
Hammond: "Sealing all the gaps so radioactive dust cant get in" Gamma rays: Imma bout to end this mans whole career
thats a overused joke. its not funny
X-rays not gamma
@@iamsick5204 there are 3 bacic types of radiation. Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Gamma rays are the smallest and can penetrate almost anything, have you not learned this in science?
@@outofuse7150 I thought gamma rays just came from the cosmos and x-rays came from atomic radiation. Guess I'm wrong
@@iamsick5204 X-ray is a term used for a machine that fires radioactive particles through a person to get a scan of the inside of them, they send (most likely beta and Gamma) into a person and when it bounces back it project an image of anything in there, cosmic rays is radiation from space

Am I the only one who likes James May’s detailed descriptions? I kinda hate how they fade it out, I was really enjoying his explanation of what a half life is even though I already know…
Oh man, I can listen to James talk for hours 👌
I was actually pretty sad when that explanation got cut off. James is the type of guy that could talk about literally anything and be interesting to listen to -- he could talk about the clothing used by royalty prior to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and I'd still be captivated

2:08 James: I will do a scientifically proved method in removing air pressure Jeremy: just fills his car with some random bricks on the side of the road
Jezza did the same thing to his truck in Burma.
The. GamingDog That’s the Jezza way. Be as simple as possible to achieve maximum results.
in actual fact, making a vehicle heavier also makes them more fuel efficient air resistance is is relative to the velocity of the object, so the faster it moves the more energy is lost, while a heavier vehicle powered by the same engine would travel at a lower speed and thereby loose less energy to air resistance
@@thomasthetanderloin Except all these cars are limited by the speed limit anyway. The fact that Hammond actually caught up with Jeremy means Jeremy was driving way too slow.
Turksarama Jeremy was only driving slow because part of his strategy was to keep it in a lower gear and redline it
It bugs me when they fade to black when James May starts explaining something interesting.
+BradTheThird Funny thing but,I really want to meet James one day and talk for hours... I think he has much to offer in a conversation.He is very wise and he has a lot of knowledge
+BradTheThird He has a couple of (other) shows that he hosts to explain things.

Russian Army: We researched for 7 years on the best strategy to take Ukraine The research:
Their army's been horribly disorganized since the days of Stalin, I'm not completely surprised that their research ended up being useless in practice. They learned the hard way that the Ukrainian Armed Forces wasn't the problem, it was the civilians
You made me laugh with your stupidest comment. As far as I remember, only everyone tried to capture Russia. And you, these 7, now 8 years, have been bombing Donetsk and Lugansk and blaming everything on Russia, you should be ashamed, it’s not good at all, unfortunately, you, as children, have to explain this. Bow further to your Nazi groups like Azov and Bandera (one of the greatest Nazis of all time, who killed a lot of people, opposed the Bolsheviks), everything is clear with you that you say this, your head is not for thinking, like many ukrainians.

José Iglesias yes definately
The radiation in chernobyl is around 30 times higher than average background, meaning there's no risk of radiation poisoning or anything like that but you do have 30x higher chance of getting cancer while you are in chernobyl. Driving there was statistically more dangerous than being there.
Nikke 2800 I’m confused why is driving more dangerous
Raytrite deaths caused by car accidents
@@Nikke-nn5mn although the roads don't show much radiation and people are encouraged to stick to the roads because unlike the forests and dirt the radioactive particles has no where to go on a smooth surface but yeah it is still dangerous to go and it does increase the percentage to get cancer
Has this been 9 yrs already jeeez it doesnt feel that long ago
Yet no one had their windows open?
Hammond turned out to be quiet smart about it actually, driving like a drunk, he esentially increased the distance by 50% .... Therefore only needing to go down to 30 mpg.
Or 25 US MPG.
Imagine he used high revs
I doubt the distance increase was more than about 30% honestly, even for the part before he got stopped by the police, but keeping the car running while stopped will have been pretty massive.
After making his car more aerodynamic
@@blartversenwaldiii The whole stop and accelerate wouldve also been more taxing to the fuel economy than what the other 2 did to their cars.

"people think this is a bit odd, but if they knew why i was doing it they would understand it" wise words indeed
-BMW drivers not using their indicators
You do have to wonder what became of the people the trio met throughout their specials: the people of Raqqa, Myanmar, and Kyiv, all of these places they visited have now turned into warzones. I hope wherever they are they are safe.
When I was a kid I saw some cartoons and very vintage inspired adventure books from no later than the 1930s and before that and they took place in areas like Russia Britain, Germany, China Africa, and so on. Knowing what would happen with the world wars it kind of made me think “ realistically, what would happen to some of those people just a few decades later or even less”? Some of these Top Gear episodes are kind of similar to that.

Buying advice from this video: Ford Fiesta- economical when you need it, wasteful when you don’t (as long as it’s driven by a madman), Dacia Sandero- economical whether you need it or not, VW up!- economical when you don’t need it, wasteful when you do need it (it’s German senses probably kicked in to tell it that the driver was British.

His engine at full revs sounds like the cooling fan. Thats just tragic.
tbf when sitting stil "max revs" is 4k so thats why it sounds weak, it only lets you go up to the rev limit (6500 i think) when you are moving.

British humor is literally ahead of it's time.
No
I said it 7 years ago I'll say it now. This just proves you can redline any car for mils before she blows. basically a couple burnouts and slides will never truly hurt your car.
they may be red lining but its not under load, big difference
Slides are different. Most cars aren't designed with sliding in mind. The oil sloshes side to side, and while that's happening your pickup tube isn't picking up oil to send throughout the rest of the engine. That's where bearings spin. Redline doesn't matter as much, as long as the engine is properly cooled and well lubricated you can redline a car all day without too much trouble. Granted this is in theory. You can still blow out seals/gaskets with prolonged internal engine pressures, and you can absolutely cook/melt a cat
