James May's eyeballs at 6:19 pretty much say it all. I don't think most people could stomach that ride along.

Very Cool!! Any idea what airport that was filmed at? My guess is Mojave, CA.

And I hate to be a naysayer, but I find it hard to believe that's really RC on the MX bike. RC is much shorter than the guy on that bike and a much different riding style :-k . I've been know to be wrong, though.

I wonder how many days it took to film that segment.

Yeah, real cool. I sure hope not too many budding NASCAR drivers thinks it's OK to use their local airport as a training ground. Talk about runway incursions! I hope no-one gets hurt by this guy.

Baloney is still baloney, no matter how thin you slice it.

Re: Transient parking not recommended (Ken Block on Top Gear)

The whole thing was staged for TV obviously. Pro driver or not, I wouldn't have left my plane out there for him to careen around. Cool or not, not at my airport.

However, that being said, the look on the host's face when the driver jumped his car along with the motorcycle was priceless. Looked like he was crapping his pants. :)
