REALZEUS:

Clarkson is an entertainer, not a journalist. Do not take his word for anything! That said, the R8 is great. Just not 430 Scuderia or Gallardo 560 great. 

 

 

He actually is a journalist, who is entitled to his opinion. I personally don't take his word for granted (not only because opinions are subjective but also because he is, as you stated, an entertainer too), but let's say that I tend to give credit (to some extent) to a guy who has driven more cars in his life than all of us... combined.

He's not a professional racing driver, I'd give you that.

By the way, Duel was pretty boring to watch. Same location (Ascari track in Spain, same gimmicks and bits, etc.). But it was actually nice to see Clarkson and Needell reunited (and VBH). I was quite a bit surprised that Tiff "agreed" to be referred as a "failed racing driver", but that was entertaining nonetheless. And, oddly, that white Cali driven by VBH was quite sexy. Smiley
