    Top Gear: 959 vs. F40

    Just watched it...

    Richard Hammond does a very nice job doing sort of a retrospective of the two and their significance to today's modern sports car...

    A must watch. Expect the usual silliness but with a slightly more reverential treatment of the subjects. And of course Jeremy has to get his digs in on the Porsche, but Hammond fends him off well

    Too bad they did not manage to do the Stig laps. It is interesting that they held up fine to the slight, fast-type oversteering (mild slip angle, not the smokey drifting) that Hammond was doing. Then a DNS for the Ferrari and the turbos blow on the 959 but no smoke?
