Q&A with Richard Hammond about his NASCAR experience in tonight’s episode of Top Gear

How fast did you go?
Hammond (laughing): You’ll have to watch the film — but it wasn’t as fast as the cars race. The thing is a monster. It’s like climbing into the belly of a dragon and driving that around. It does only one thing — and that’s go around the track really fast in one direction. You find yourself trying to fight it, trying to keep it from doing what it really wants to do. And also, when you go into a turn and hit the braking, well, I fly a helicopter back in Britain and I would say it feels more like that than driving a car — because you roll into that turn and you roll back out of it. It’s not like any other kind of driving that you’ll ever get to do anywhere else.

“Not unless James May becomes an astronaut.”

That time when Richard joked about James becoming an astronaut, and then that other time when James actually did.
