Richard Hammond's Workshop (2021) s03e05 Episode Script

1
Is that an Integrale?
It is a "Disintegrale"
I mean Integrale.
What's that big hole in the roof?
I've got an auction coming up.
It's soon.
The car will be done.
It will be there, I promise you.
I might have bitten off
more than I can chew.
RICHARD: Test day.
Llandow racetrack in Wales.
Brake issues.
Half the brake pad fell off.
There it is, there, on the floor.
(BLEEP)
So, we've hired a racetrack
and a racing driver.
We haven't got spare brake pads.
That's our biggest ever waste
of time and money.
You want to know
when you go to the brake pedal that
there's brakes there to stop you.
He's on his last chance.
Something worked!
'Two years ago, I set up
a classic-car restoration business
with the Greenhouse family.'
We can recover any vehicle. Oh!
'Turning my passion
into a successful business
with my family in tow
hasn't exactly been plain sailing.'
No, Mother, shush.
'But things are finally on the up.
We've got work'
How far do you want to go with it?
'new staff, we're racing again'
Never drives that quick to work.
'and we're going international.'
Merci, monsieur.
'I just hope we haven't taken on
too much.'
I've got that "gone wrong" feeling.
Our recent test day
for our race team at Llandow
was a disaster.
I mean, it couldn't really
have gone much worse.
The brakes disintegrated.
To make it slightly worse,
it's because they were
the same brakes we'd used
previously. We hadn't changed them.
And to make things
even worse still,
Abbie,
our professional racing driver -
rightly so sent us an e-mail.
When I tell you the title,
"Tough Love From Today,"
exclamation-mark,
you'll gather the tone of it.
"We got extremely lucky today"
"Not sure you all realise how much
we avoided an absolute plane crash.
In no way, shape, or form
is this acceptable.
We cannot cut corners
when it comes to safety." Yeah.
I mean, we really, really dropped
the ball there.
It is a wake-up call,
but it's a wake-up call
like someone rolling a hand grenade
under your bed in the morning.
To be honest, after Llandow
I was very disappointed,
cos it ended up being
an absolute disaster.
Finally we got the right pads
to go back in,
so hopefully this will save
all the issues we had before.
We'll find out in a couple of days
at the next test.
We've got a race coming up
at Donington.
We are not ready,
so I've booked another test day
at Castle Combe,
and if it doesn't work
I've got no choice.
I'm not going to make
The Smallest Cog a laughing-stock,
or, worse, risk somebody's safety.
I will pull the plug.
'Feeling sorry for ourselves
isn't going to win us any races.
To lift the mood,
I've booked in an '80s icon
in desperate need
of some mechanical TLC.'
You'll never guess what it is,
but I can't think of any clue
I can give you
that you wouldn't
immediately get it.
It's quite rugged, mechanically.
Rugged?
I won't be worried too much
about the paint.
Has it got paint? No.
There's only one car I know
in this world I know.
that leaves a factory
with no paint on. Yes.
Which is DeLorean.
Yes, it is.
First thing you think of
is Back To The Future.
What's that lad called? Marty.
You'd make a good Marty,
wouldn't you? What?
Get you a puffer jacket.
Are you saying that
just because he's short?
No, you genuinely look like him.
You happen to be short as well.
'Yeah, something tells me
I might come to regret this.'
Dan. Richard, nice to see you.
Guess we've found the right place,
cos there's a DeLorean there. Yes.
How long have you had it?
Bought it in 2005,
but then had a few problems with it.
How long has it been sitting here?
Be honest. A few years.
There's a tax disc there.
Ohh, it has been a while, hasn't it?
It's been a while, yeah.
So, it's a recommissioning job.
That's what we're looking at. Yeah.
Right. Let's get it on.
That's it. Go on.
You're OK. All right.
That's it. Perfect.
Right, it's home,
and back to the workshop.
Workshop.
Yeah. I thought
you were going to go there.
As long as we have that customer
there is a ban on those jokes.
All right? Yeah.
(GIGGLES)
Hello. Hello.
How are you? Good, thanks.
How are you doing?
I'm all right.
I thought I'd check
how timetables and things are going,
if there's loads of work.
Got too much. That's good.
Yeah, everyone's got stuff
to be getting on with.
Lancia's coming along well,
but bit worried about Neil.
Why? He's spending
a lot of time on it,
kind of, out of hours.
I'll go and have a chat.
Go and check on him.
Yeah. The welfare check.
All right.
I'll go and do my HR welfare.
Neil? Hiya.
Peepo. Whack-a-mole here, innit?
What's the story with this?
Cos Soph was saying
you're doing this on your own time,
not, like, billing for it,
and stuff. Yeah.
I've got myself in a bit of
a position with it, really,
because, to be honest,
it isn't just to make money.
It needs to make money
to buy an enclosure
for a pair of really rare leopards.
There's 100 left in the world.
They've got two brothers,
and they want to breed them-
That's not going to work.
Two brothers. No, no, no
I could show you a book.
I mean, yeah.
So what's the plan?
Are they doing, like, an auction,
a charity auction
with other stuff, or?
No, it's going to Bonhams.
Goodwood Revival.
And we haven't got long on it.
I think it's a really,
really good idea,
and, actually, we can do this.
Leave it with me
and I'll find a way.
I wish Richard was more like you.
I know, but, you know,
you can't have everything.
Ta-ta. Take care. Thanks.
Ha-ha, what you got there?
Is it a blast from the past,
or from the Future?
That was your first line!
(SPLUTTERING)
Well, it's going to be, innit?
It was immediate.
Yeah, get in there.
In you get, fella.
Look, this is the chance
of a lifetime.
Come on. That's beautiful.
Thank you, Anthony. No problem.
Right, are we ready?
I'm ready. Straight back.
Look at that. Oh.
It's like a spaceship, innit?
I like it.
Have you seen
what's in the back, here?
No, but I have a horrible feeling
you're going to tell me. Guess.
Is it by any chance
a pretend flux capacitor?
It is a flux capacitor,
but the problem is Yes?
unfortunately for us,
the fuse has gone.
Otherwise, we'd have had a go
with that.
The brief is
customer wants it recommissioned.
He's not in a rush, but I am.
I want it out of the workshop,
because you are going to be
intensely irritating
the whole time it's in.
Do you agree with me, though?
He looks like Marty, don't he?
I do not look like Marty.
He is. He is.
What's with the life-preserver, kid?
'First step to getting the DeLorean
back on the road
is to see if the engine runs.'
OK, so, before we even try
and start this,
we're going to make sure
the bores aren't furred up inside,
it's not full of rust
Yeah, the easiest way to do that
is to pull it into gear, rock it,
make sure the engine turns over
so it's not seized.
OK. I'm hoping
it's going to be free,
cos if it's not
then we've got a bigger job.
So, if we gently rock it OK.
and we're looking for
She's free. Oh, yes.
So that's telling us
the crankshaft is turning,
the pistons are going
Do you want the honours?
I'll do it, and you listen.
I am going to crank this DeLorean.
Are you ready? I'm ready.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Tres bon. Ha-ha!
(INDISTINCT) How does it sound?
That's caught me off guard.
It actually works.
Always said it.
Reliable as a Swiss watch, DeLorean.
Was always known for it.
Put some air in there,
and we'll be good.
Hurrah, I've fixed it.
It's test day for Cog Racing.
We've brought the MGB
down to Castle Combe
and I want to see if that car
can last a race-length.
And I want to see Neil and Anthony
working together as a team.
If all of that happens,
I'll be happy.
Right. High stakes, but high hopes.
(AIR HISSING)
Isaac, is that
the last tyre pressure?
Yes. 30 to start with. Perfect.
Water, oil, fuel
all done? Yeah.
Morning, team.
That's the key word, isn't it?
Are we a team today?
I've handed the car over to Dad,
so he can keep a record
of everything.
So this is your baby for the day.
He tells everyone
what they're doing,
recording everything,
and at the end of the day
he'll hand that back to me.
Here's the one missing element.
Professional driver. Hello, Abbie.
I'd like to re-introduce you
to the Smallest Cog racing team
Excellent that are working
as a team.
Yeah. Already working,
which is good to see.
I need to get your trust back today
after Llandow.
And if there's one circuit
where we need to have trust
and reliability of brakes,
it's Castle Combe. Ah!
This is about
not just your neck,
everybody else's neck,
so it's got to be right.
Work in progress today.
Endurance, reliability
and no red flags by me.
Good luck, everybody.
See you in a bit. See you in a bit.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Let's hope Doris lasts
more than three laps.
It's still going.
Mate, you don't realise how tight
my arse-cheeks are clenched.
Oh, come on, Doris, please.
There it is.
Lovely. That looks like a race car.
(LAUGHS)
Temperatures are holding good,
pressure's good,
oil temp is good as well.
Green on all dials.
Ooh.
Am I imagining it or has our car got
a distinctive smell as it goes by?
Like a fast Chesterfield. It just
Brakes feel a damn sight better
than at Llandow.
Progress made there.
She should be coming in
this lap.
Right, let's go and get ready
to receive.
All good. All good.
Temps, pressures,
everything all fine.
So, main thing for you, Ant,
when you get on track, is cruise,
because even when you're cruising
over the bumps,
it can still go wrong.
'Time to step it up.
Ant is going to put the MGB
through a full endurance test.
This will decide the future
of Cog Racing.'
Come on, Doris.
Just me and you again.
He's gone out
for a half-hour stretch.
That's a chunk of a race.
It's never done it.
Come on, Doris.
Be a good girl for me, please.
He's on the 11th lap,
and the car is still going.
Proud of you, girl.
If we work together,
this can work.
At Silverstone the car lasted
19 minutes and 15 seconds.
We're at 20 minutes.
Whoa, this is the longest
we've ever lasted? Yeah!
All temperatures are good.
All levels are good.
Good girl, Doris.
We can prove these haters wrong.
I think we might have ourselves
a race car.
It's been out 33 minutes.
He's bringing it in, as planned.
Let's have a look.
I think we've done it.
Nice that it's come back
under its own steam.
Well done, mate.
How is it reading in there,
temperatures-wise?
All bob-on. They haven't moved.
Might have built a race car.
Ten million times better today
than it was at Llandow.
We've finally done
a successful endurance run,
which we've been trying to do
since last year, so, yeah,
a smile on my face,
which is not quite the same
as what I had at Llandow.
We've proven it works,
and by doing that today,
it's proven to Richard that
the Cogs are a team that can race.
It took today
for me to get hope back
that this is worth doing.
If we can work as well
as a team as we did today,
and the car can work as well,
then we can do it.
Next aim is just to complete a race,
and genuinely,
I don't mind stone last.
And that'll be
a monumental achievement.
Hello, hello, hello. Oh, hello.
How are you? I'm all right.
Come to give you a hand.
Seriously? Yeah. Tell me
what you want me to do.
We could do with getting that
and that filled.
If you could do that side
and I could do that side Yeah.
I can't believe it
that Mindy's actually come in
to give me a hand.
And to be honest, I need it.
I do need a hand,
because this is very tiring
and any help is good help.
Oh, God, it takes me back,
I can't tell you.
That's it. Believe it or not,
that's perfect.
Like icing a cake.
Chuck it on there.
I'll go fill my door.
You carry on.
If you get stuck, give me a shout.
You're doing all right so far.
Thank you.
She's better than Richard,
because if you say something to her,
she listens to you and does it.
Amazing.
How are you getting on?
I haven't taken any more
off the bottom of there.
No, you've got it.
That's looking good, though.
Is it? It is.
We're getting it done bit by bit,
doing really well.
It'll absolutely be done in time,
because Neil categorically
won't let anybody down.
This is the best place
for this car to be,
and Neil is absolutely
the best guy for the job.
Well done.
I'm well impressed with that.
(HAMMERING)
Another late night.
This car has turned out to be
an absolute nightmare.
I'm not one to give up,
and I'm not one to be beat,
but I know when I am beat,
and it's about now.
All these late nights
catching up on me.
I'm tired, making mistakes.
And this auction's coming along.
It's going to be any minute now.
I can't let Alan down.
I can't let the leopards down.
If I got everybody
to give me a hand,
we could still get to the auction,
still get it done.
I'm just going to
have to face the music
and go and have a word
with Richard, I think.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Hello!
You all right, fella? Hello, mate.
You all right? Yes. How are you?
I I'm fine.
I don't get up here often.
You've got this office nice.
You design this?
Why are you being nice to me?
I'm not. I'm just saying
You are it's lovely.
You've never complimented
my office before. What? What?
I'll be honest.
I'll come straight to it.
When we looked at the Lancia,
I did get, sort of, distracted
by furry creatures, and Yes?
I got a bit too optimistic
with my thoughts of how
we're going to get the car finished.
Are you saying
that even Neil Greenhouse
can't quite, on his own,
push this thing over the edge
without working himself
to death? No.
All I'm saying is
I think it would be genuinely nice
to involve other people
Oh, this is good!
This is professional.
Young Isaac could do
with learning a bit more.
Andrew could pick up a few tips.
It'd just be brilliant. I think
it's a good company bonding thing.
So it's not Neil Greenhouse
coming in here
and saying,
"I'm throwing in the towel."
It's Neil Greenhouse
coming in and offering
the rest of the workshop
the opportunity to join him
in the tremendously
satisfying experience
of completing this Lancia
to deliver it to auction
to raise money
to save the leopards.
You've said it better than me.
I'll go along with that.
I think that's a brilliant idea.
Thank you.
I think that's one of the best ideas
you've ever had. Yeah, isn't it?
Well, thank you very much.
Please call again.
I'll make you coffee.
See you later. Erm
(DOOR CLOSES)
What just happened?
'What's just happened
is that once again I've been had.
Somehow I've agreed to take everyone
off our other paying jobs
to work on the bloody Lancia.
With only a couple of days
until the auction,
I didn't really have much choice.'
If we carry on with the bodywork,
get as far as we can on the filler,
me and you,
then you could carry on
with the bumpers
while I get on and get it painted.
If you do the interior,
then we can have a big moment
and get it back together.
This is one thing
that doesn't surprise me about Dad.
He's dug himself into a big hole
by keeping this all a secret,
and it's going to be
some late nights
to save his leopards.
We won't need to bring camp beds,
cos we won't stop to sleep.
We've got plenty of coffee.
Let's have a little song,
a little sing-along.
What are you going to sing?
Things Can Only Get Better.
Here we go. This is the first bit
of Lancia colour going on,
looking absolutely smashing,
to be honest.
It's been a long, long day today,
but I think it will be worth it.
I bet that feels good, don't it?
It's a better feeling
now it's painted,
and I'm very happy
with how it's come out.
The only thing is
if we don't get this finished today,
it don't go to the auction,
so it's all hands on deck now.
I've now got the task of cleaning
all these lovely Lancia seats.
What could possibly go wrong?
Mindy should be proud of that bit.
Fair play.
Now we just gotta get it outside
and start putting it back together.
We've cut down
on our tea-breaks.
There is so much to do
it is unreal.
OK, carefully in. That's it.
ANDY: I'm sure we'll get there.
We've only got the whole carpet,
all the seats, the centre console,
roof lining, all the door cards,
a window that side,
polish all over, roof aerial,
and it's now gone 6:00,
so it's definitely going to be
a late night.
Hello, chaps.
Morning. Morning. Morning.
That's a Lancia Delta Integrale.
That is the one. It's been done.
Oh, my word.
That is some transformation.
Last time you saw it,
it wasn't like that.
No, it was complete
Well, it was a shell.
(CHUCKLES) That is incredible.
I could choke.
A lot of work.
If we hadn't
all pulled together at the end,
it wouldn't have been done.
I mean, it's a rare and special car.
It was completely ruined,
and it is now resurrected.
Genuinely blown away by that.
The car is looking amazing.
Just gotta hope it sells for enough.
Well, I've had a lot of hours,
lot of time, lot of work,
a lot of blood, sweat, and tears
on that Lancia,
and look at today.
We're going to Goodwood
on a beautiful, sunny day,
and hopefully raise as much money
as we can for the leopards.
Anything over £15,000 is a win,
but we'll see. Time will tell.
Oh, here we are.
Look at this for a place.
(INAUDIBLE)
I promise not to buy
or even try and buy anything.
MINDY: Anything? Anything.
Really? Ooh, Land Rovers.
That's quite cool.
Wow, there's some lovely cars here.
That's a nice jacket.
I really like that.
Want to try it on?
Look, there's some others.
They've got it in green.
Oh, that is just fantastic.
I'm looking for our little Lancia,
which should be here somewhere.
Ah, there she is.
Well, I think she looks
she looks really nice.
I'm very pleased with it.
It's a proper car, and hopefully
it makes proper money.
I just want to see
what Alan thinks of it.
What have you done?
Look at this. Wow, this is
the first time you've seen it
The first time I've seen the car.
What do you think?
Is it the same car? Yeah?
It is the same car.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
That is absolutely faultless.
The paint is stunning.
I love it, absolutely love it.
Hopefully we can get some money
from this auction
and get your leopards
in a better place.
If that don't make money,
nothing will, mate.
We're about to find out,
cos the auction's about to start.
Fingers crossed
we can sell this thing.
AUCTIONEER: Now, we've got
a very interesting car
coming up next.
Where shall we open the bidding
on this '89 Lancia Delta Integrale?
Anything over 15 grand is a win.
It's going to be
the moment of truth.
There's bids coming in already.
I've got late interest at £6,000,
£7,000, several bids at £8,000,
£9,000, £10,000,
£11,000 at the back.
Is that £12,000?
£20,000 bid. Yay! Ooh.
Richard, come and give me a hand.
£20,000.
Give me a hand. Come on. £20,000.
£20,000 bid at the back.
I know how this works.
More than £20,000!
The bid at £20,000.
I can do this.
£22,000? Look at this screen.
£22,000.
£22,000. £25,000?
Oh, my Lord. £25,000.
Sir at the back, what about you?
Come on.
£25,000, £28,000, £29,000.
£30,000 right at the back.
Good Lord. Lady's bid at £30,000.
£31,000. I've got a bid online.
£32,000. £33,000.
Lady's bid at the back. £34,000.
Make it £35,000
and I'll throw Neil in as well.
£35,000 online.
Are we all done? £35,000.
£36,000? Stand on that?
£36,000.
Right at the back.
Shall we sell it?
£36,000. That's spectacular.
Thank you. Well done.
Wow, what a result.
That's a fair chunk of money
for the leopard enclosure.
I think it's been a perfect day.
It has.
It's just made in heaven.
You know, that lady to be there
She wasn't looking to buy it.
She didn't even have
a bidder's number.
We have done You and the leopards
have done very well.
I didn't expect it to get
that much money.
I'm really delighted.
It's done amazingly well, really,
but would have been nice just
Bit more? Bit more. It would.
OK, keep thinking,
but meanwhile,
we should congratulate ourselves
and you,
cos that's your work
and it worked. Well done.
Elephants next time. What? No.
No more animal-related stuff
for a bit.
You booked it in.
I so did not.
Don't be shy of it.
Got a fire extinguisher in case
it all goes wrong, have you?
(LAUGHING)
Morning. What?
Oh. DeLorean.
Through the Time travel.
Let me guess. Marty. Doc.
What gives you that impression?
Brilliant.
Don't you want to know
where it went? Children.
'Thankfully, the DeLorean
is nearly done.
Ironically for a car
that famously had no paint,
the last job is to re-spray
the plastic bumper.'
D-Day today, as in DeLorean Day.
I've got it all prepped.
What we've got to do now
is a bit of sorting out,
get some paint on it,
and get it gone.
Well, that's that done.
Always nervous
when you've got to put the paint on
cos anything could go wrong,
but it seems to have gone on nice.
The colour and finish look good.
I'm really happy,
the way it's turned out.
Right. The time has come
to return this. Are we happy? Yeah.
Anything I need to know?
Did you say the oil pressure is
always high? Very high in these.
(ENGINE STARTS)
Enjoy.
Isaac? Yes?
How many fuel cans we got?
We got three. Three, OK.
Spare engine oil? Yep.
Gearbox oil? Yep.
Stuff for cleaning
the windows? Yep.
RICHARD: Ah, chaps.
Hi, Rich. Preparations occurring.
Getting on our final checks.
I've given Isaac a list,
so everything that goes in that van
he's ticking off.
So if it's not on the list,
that lies with you. My fault.
If it's not in the van,
that lies with you. Yeah.
All right, I will see you there.
I'm going to travel on.
Safe trip. Good luck.
Here we are. Big old place.
The Eagle has landed.
So, I reckon,
if we set the awning up Yeah.
we can have the car
in the middle. Pick her up, then.
Well, yeah, open it out,
and then you put the cover on.
This is how they do it in Formula 1.
Hold on, careful. Watch the centre.
It's easier, way easier
getting my four kids ready
in the morning
than it is trying to do this
with them.
Come on, you're all right.
Perfect.
Ah. Why's he come in that?
How clever am I?
You can see where I've gone
with this. Yeah, you've lost
the keys to your car.
No. RV. TEAM: That's a horse-box.
Wait a minute.
Gentlemen, behold.
Deployable steps.
Come on in. Step aboard.
Welcome home.
There, look. Somewhere to sit.
We can cook and wash up.
This is the posh accommodation.
Rich, it's got straw all over it.
It hasn't got straw on it.
It's a sleeping bag.
I haven't worked out yet
if he's joking.
If you have to get up for a wee,
there's no lavatory.
I'm really hoping he's joking.
I don't think he is joking.
That's the worry.
I'm very conscious
that we've overspent.
Kamla is quite cross with me.
I've promised her we can save money
by not spending it on fripperies.
Do you see any fripperies?
Did Lewis Hamilton's dad
have to do this, I wonder?
I can understand the saving money,
but it's not an RV, is it?
It's a horse-box.
I'm having this end one here. What?
You can go in the middle.
I'm not going in the middle.
You are.
Gentlemen, I'm going to bed.
Please can we keep the racket down?
It's a big day tomorrow.
All we've got to do, remember,
is finish the race.
Good night!
TEAM: Good night.
Don't put your head down there.
I had a curry last night.
(ALL GROAN)
"Four weather warnings are in force
as Storm Antoni hits the UK.
Heavy rain. Strong winds
rarely seen in the summer."
You've gotta wonder if the fates
are against us going racing.
If you go on the dry line
and the grip isn't there,
you'll slide to the wet line anyway.
'Today is make-or-break
for Cog Racing.
To make sure it's not "break",
our motorsport mentor
Ric Wood is here.'
Be OK, won't it?
Yeah, yeah. Enjoy it. Try.
'It's a big field today - 40 cars.
In these conditions,
that's a frightening prospect.
We're allowed to use two drivers
in the qualifying laps
and the race itself.'
Plan is Anthony goes out,
gets some experience,
drives in the wet,
then Abbie goes out
towards the end of qualifying
when we've used more fuel,
the car's lighter,
and she sets
a fast qualifying time.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Oh, there's a whistle.
Good luck, mate!
Oh-ho, wet weather.
This is scary.
There it is!
So, we have a time now. 2:46.
Should we have sent him out
on a jet-ski?
There he is.
2:26.
I think we'll need
to get him in soon.
We've got 15 to go.
We're bringing him in now
to put Abbie in
to set a fast qualifying time.
Here he comes.
OK. We'll go and get ready
for him.
Yeah, there he is.
Here she comes.
She's all over that other MGB.
Conditions are getting really bad.
Safety car. Can't overtake.
Yeah, look, she's been held up.
I'm going to bring it in.
Oh, there she is.
She's coming in.
So she hasn't set a time
on that one.
So, let's just take stock.
The plan didn't work,
so you didn't get to set
your flying laps.
So we qualified 15th?
(ALL CONFIRM)
How does that change things
going forwards?
We have dedicated me
to go out first,
so that's all done now.
Good luck.
This is the day we finish a race.
It's about to happen.
ANNOUNCER: 40 minutes
on the clock for this one,
for the Adams & Page
Swinging Sixties Group 1.
Lights go out and we go racing.
There she is. She's in there.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
God, this is exciting.
There she is. Ninth!
Ninth overall? Oh, my God,
so she's made up six? Yeah.
Oh-ho-ho!
It's going like the clappers.
Come on, Abbie. It's real.
It is very real now.
This is stressful.
Here she comes.
Oh, my God. Seventh.
Seventh overall. Second in class.
2:08.
So she's made up
another two places
and another place in her class.
Let's not get too excited.
I am too excited.
Oil temp's through the roof.
Don't want to end up
blowing the engine.
I'm going to have to pit.
(SIGHS FRUSTRATEDLY)
She's pointing She's pointing
at temperature, I think.
She might be coming in, then.
Get ready, Neil. Right.
When she went by,
she was pointing at something.
So just be ready
in case it's a changeover.
That means you're going to have
a longer tour of duty.
Here we go.
ABBIE: Oil temperature's
really hot.
Right. OK. It keeps going red.
So you can't go flat-out.
You have to manage it.
So, manage the temp!
Don't mess this up, Ant.
Come on, boys, let's go.
Let's go!
Nice. 2:14. He's made up a place.
Come on. Come on, Doris.
There he is. 2:12.
He's just gained two seconds.
He's third in class. Third in class.
Come on. Other way.
Come on, Anthony.
2:08. There you go.
He's getting quicker. Still P3.
He's doing really well.
Four seconds off Abbie,
who's a professional driver.
I think he's doing really well.
If he can get about another 4-5 laps
out of it, we'll finish.
It is raining.
That BMW is hard on his heels.
Anthony's unfortunately
just been passed.
Now in fourth position,
so just off the podium.
But if he can hold it in fourth,
that's something
to be really proud of.
So, he's just got
to get around this lap.
We are in with a shout
of finishing a race.
Don't jinx it.
In with a shout, I said.
Any second now.
(BLEEP)
I want to see that car driving
under a chequered flag.
(BLEEP)
(BLEEP)
Can't be far off.
Difficult to see him, innit, though?
(BLEEP)
(BLEEP)
Someone just messaged me
saying that he's "beached it".
(GROANS)
And what's that arrow mean?
He hasn't finished?
No! On the last lap? I think
he's binned it on the last lap,
and I'm not making that up.
What do we have to do
to finish a bloody race?
(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
Push. Just very gently.
Oh, he's going to be so gutted,
isn't he?
What happened? You all right?
No, I'm pissed off.
RIC: Just hold that steering wheel.
Let's have a feel.
It's fine. Say again?
That's normal.
I think the bottom line is
he's just possibly made a mistake.
Let's look at the footage.
Wow. So P-ed off.
I can't put it into words.
Just hard work everyone's put in
and now (BLEEP)
Ant. You all right, mate?
Yeah, just
It was magnificent,
it was spectacular, and then
Come on!
Last minute, something goes wrong.
Doesn't matter.
It was bloody legendary,
it really was.
I've let everyone down.
Oh, don't be silly.
Honestly, mate, don't think that.
That's bloody silly.
You mustn't think that
for a second.
It was bloody brilliant.
Let's get it put away.
RIC: Really feel sorry for him
it ended like that,
on the last lap.
I think he deserved to finish,
really did. He drove so well.
Just one of them things.
You gotta pick yourself up
and not make the same mistake again.
The first file that I opened
was Anthony going "(BLEEP)!"
Let's see what happened.
Oh, started, started.
Oh, started. Oh, she's gone.
Did you see how far
it moved sideways? It did go.
It really was swinging.
ABBIE: You should have gone wider.
Yeah.
So this is fine,
but then you add more
to try and get to your apex.
You should have gone
middle of the road.
It was that little extra adjustment
that made the difference.
I've looked at the footage.
I think I know where I went wrong.
I obviously didn't pick up on it
that it had started raining again
as hard.
And
Yeah, feel like
a good, proper little cry again.
We came into this weekend
trying to finish the race,
and if we remove a driver mistake,
the car would have finished
the race,
so we're definitely moving
in the right direction.
Racing, it turns out,
is quite challenging.
I'm not going to sob about it,
you know. Big lessons learned.
It's the most like a team
that we've looked,
and we know the car
can last the distance.
We'll do another race,
go again, and we'll finish.
I've got an appointment
with a gin bottle now,
if you wouldn't mind.
Let's pack it up.
Careful going home. I ain't driving.
(ALL LAUGH)
