Are you referring to last Monday's episode with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruz? I thought it was short as well, didn't know there was a Senna tribute.. Did you hear about the new Senna movie out? It is supposed to be amazing!

Here is some Senna for yah












This one I'd never seen before, pretty cool. I think that's Brunno with him?

That segment was one of the best Top Gear segments I've seen on the show, and I've been watching since the reboot 14 seasons ago.

I noticed it was 60 minutes, not 80 minutes. I suppose that is because the movie will not be released here for a while, though it came out in Japan on the weekend of the Grand Prix.

So they are one in the same? (What aired on TG was the Senna movie discussed and released in Japan on F1 GP weekend)

If so now I really feel like we missed out!
I know some Pelicans saw the Senna special on TG via the internet...

I want to see the movie very bad, but the japanese are notorious for making hokey films. I think I'll wait for the US release, assuming it has better narration and music (hopefully it will).

It is not a Japanese movie. It just had its debut in Japan. Check out this review for some details:

This is why I download it, the BBC America version isn't nearly as good.

When is the movie coming to the US? And how do you download Top Gear from the internet. I heard you could get full episodes but I could not find where on BBC site or Top Gear site or Youtube.

You need to download them via a torrent.

Final Gear has a good listing of all of the shows. Here is the list for the season that just passed.
FinalGear.com :: Shows :: Top Gear :: Season 15

Click on one of the episodes and it will give you a link to the torrent

Whoa, I hardly even use my iPod nano generation 1. I have no smart phone or anything. I am going to have to do some reading about how all these torrents and magnets and greek letters work. Thanks for the link, though.

Thank you for the link. That McLaren monster with 1200HP was some machine and Senna had the balls to go for it, that is for sure.

If you will search the term "torrent" here on the forum it has been explained several times...

That's a great photo of AS and Teddy Yip. Teddy is a guy who has never gotten enough credit for his contributions to many aspects of the sport, IMO.

The Senna doc is first rate work by most accounts, an exceedingly rare feat for any mass market film involving racing. I'm awaiting the announcement a US release date.
