Would that be the one that caught fire because Hammond couldn't drive/control it properly? - https://electrek.co/2017/06/10/richa...tric-supercar/

Now there's a man who's reach is so far beyond his grasp it's embarrassing (as well as dangerous)

It is an itch, they help scratch it.
They stick to the tried and tested methods.

Although just made a mental note you have a Tesla so arguably you are more progressive, a risk taker and easily bored with the norm, more than most. Compliment by the way! LOL
And my personal ranking of those would put 5th Gear way ahead of TG/GT - hey! - they're the same initials, only backwards .And how I miss Vicki B-H: give me her squeal and chuckle ahead of a V12 rumble any day (added to which she's clearly a better driver than Hammond).

Not sure about your personality profiling of me (tongue in cheek or not ...), though others may comment
