Getting closer to moving from "fast on track, for a heavy electric car" to just "fast on track" but not quite there yet

Couldn't find any videos of the Stig doing their track time of a P3D. Is that still a thing they do?

No, they've largely deprecated Stig for a bunch of ass clowns behind the wheel.
I really miss the old format with Jeremy & the gang. The Grand Tour knock off is OK, but the old Top Gear format with the original presenters was the most fun.

The guy who test drove for this test is embarrassingly incompetent, and couldn't keep M3P on track, nor drift properly in either car, nor post competitive times.

But I guess, it's a somewhat entertaining piece of journalism.
