I was looking forward to the review of the Chiron, but was left a bit disappointed. As Chris said in the review, the Chiron is more of an evolution of the Veyron than revolution, and as such, all the superlatives associated with it just don't seem that ... superlative.
Compare that review with Clarksons review of the Veyron some years back, where he enthused about all the specs; the engine, the turbos, the fuel, the speed, the air, everything.

Still enjoying TG, and we enjoyed the Chiron piece. I think what he said was that the superlatives were already taken by the Veyron. Whereas the Chiron is a more nuanced progression from that. Hence less superlatives available to use.
I'm betting that Chiron steering wheel will fit my 8. Now I just have to find one ..... for less than £,£££,£££.££'s

Chris Harris IMO, is a huge talent. He doesn't seem at home acting out in the studio, which I can understand. I've long championed him. Next fella to watch, again IMO is Joe Achilles. Great YouTuber, and I think he'd slot well into TG. I even spotted him in the audience the other week!

It was a tad surreal, and at times candid but also verging on predictable and indulgent I thought.

The Bernie interview had little interest to me, his opinions are now irrelevant, he doesn't run the sport anymore, thank the lord
