LaughingAtFate commented on Top Gear Australia's Ratings Slump Despite Holden Vs. Ford Shootout

"my opinion on the matter, The 'Holden vs Ford' test thingy was pretty lackluster, but then, it's been done to death over the last fifty years. my favorite segment was the one where they raced the stig with Utes/Light trucks vs ONE BIG MOTHA OF A TRUCK it's interesting to see how they worked out who was the winner, and how cost effective those bloody huge trucks were."

"@Mad_Science: I think you meant Circus Maximus, The coliseum isn't exactly 'set up' for racing of anysort, it's more a battle arena for christians vs lions vs gladiators... Circus Maximus is the 'famous' Chariot racetrack (as seen in Ben Hur, the movie) And I don't know why they raced counterclockwise either, But I do know that most of the horse races in the world are raced in that direction as well, (except for the quarterhorse racing, the equine version of drag racing) Perhaps that is part of the reason why we see most circut races running that way, Nothing more then "Tradition""
