Top Gear's 'Reasonably Priced Car' is awesome - In the right hands



If you've never watched Top Gear (UK), you should just walk, or take the bus. Anyway, the Chevrolet Lacetti (Or Daewoo Lacetti, Chevrolet Optra) being used in the show going around TG Track on the segment of 'Star in a reasonably priced car' was shown here on BTCC (British Touring Car Championships) being rear ended by a BMW after a hard braking, then sent to a 90 degree skid - All's lost? Nope. Being a FWD, the race driver Jason Plato give it a good pedal to the metal to drag the front back into the track, a dramatic, dramatic save!

One thing thou, the commentator mentioned that the BMW behind shouldn't go for such maneuverings should this happen ...... HMM does he know Formula Drift? or D1?
