That was quite funny. If memory serves me correctly, they were, at one point, as the saying goes--"RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES!!!"
I know they can come off as obnoxious and arrogant, but you have to give them high marks for originality. Who else would pit a Bugatti Veyron against an RAF jet fighter; dune buggy vs a motorized kayak; extreme mountain climber vs an Audi RS4; racing RV's around a track (and watching them literally fall to pieces);etc; etc.
It's fun to see "The Stig" wringing out the cars on the track, and then to see the celebrities trying to do the same. They even had Lewis Hamilton as their celeb recently.
All in all, shows like Motorweek are about as much fun as watching paint dry compared to Top Gear.
