Interesting to get the perspective of the whole track. Turns #7 and #8 are different than they appear in the "standard" camera perspectives on the show. I always thought the Stig was carrying a higher speed through Bacharach than in Gambon but that's not what this gouge suggests. Probably a function of when the producers decide to cut to and away from the different shots. I'd think that 747 sitting there would be a bit of a distraction...
I like how you can see the speed difference between the Lacetti and a supercar, what I found strange is that chicago is slower in a supercar. That would be pretty fun to have an airport to play at like they do.
