Driving Through Italy with Jeremy Clarkson

Italy is God's racetrack, as Jeremy Clarkson once said. This comment perfectly encapsulates the essence of driving through this beautiful country. As I embarked on my journey with a McLaren, I couldn't help but feel like I was living the dream. The car was an absolute beast, and every time I got behind the wheel, I felt like a real racing driver.

The drive to Monza was nothing short of epic. With the sunrise slowly creeping over the horizon, we set off on our adventure. As we hit the roads, the McLaren's incredible performance became apparent. The engine roared to life, and we were off, speeding through the Italian countryside. Jeremy's enthusiasm for driving was infectious, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as we sped along.

The drive itself was almost surreal. Jeremy pointed out that this car felt like it was made for racing, and he wasn't far off. The McLaren handled beautifully, with its incredible acceleration and agility making every turn a thrill ride. As we approached the Monza circuit, I could feel my heart pounding in anticipation. This was going to be an experience unlike any other.

As we arrived at the Monza circuit, it became clear that this wasn't just any ordinary track day. The other cars on site were all racing machines, and Jeremy and I were the only ones not quite serious enough to blend in. We stuck out like sore thumbs in our sunglasses and Converse, but we didn't care – we were here to have fun.

As we made our way onto the track, it became clear that everyone else was just as keen on a good time as we were. Cars zoomed past us, their drivers whooping with joy as they took the corners. Jeremy, however, seemed to be in his element. He was like a kid in a candy store, grinning from ear to ear as he put the pedal to the metal.

The pit lane was just as chaotic as the track itself. Cars were lined up on either side of the asphalt, their drivers chatting and laughing as they waited for their turn to get back out on the track. Jeremy, meanwhile, seemed to be in a rush – he was eager to get back out there and start driving again.

As I joined Jeremy in the pit lane, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at what we were seeing. Italian racing drivers are known for their aggressive style, and it looked like they weren't holding anything back today. The cars were all loaded with high-tech gadgets, and the drivers seemed to be pushing them to the limit.

One driver in particular caught my eye – Tusko, a professional racing driver who had somehow managed to convince Jeremy to let him take his McLaren out for a spin. As we watched, Tusko launched into a series of hairpin turns that would put even the most seasoned driver to shame. He was like a man possessed, his car handling beautifully as he carved through the corners with ease.

The final result was a spectacular display of driving prowess, complete with donuts and drifting – not exactly what you'd expect from a professional racing driver. Jeremy laughed about it afterwards, saying that this was exactly what the McLaren was made for. And in a way, I think he's right. This car is meant to be driven hard, and if that means doing a few laps of donut-tastic drifting, then so be it.

As we left Monza behind and headed back towards Italy, Jeremy pointed out the beautiful scenery through which we were driving. We were making our way through a tunnel, and as we emerged on the other side, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this experience. Driving with Jeremy Clarkson is not something you do every day – it's an adventure that stays with you forever.

The return journey was just as eventful as the drive to Monza. We hit rush-hour traffic, which made things a bit more interesting than usual. As we navigated through the crowded roads, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when we finally reached our destination. The day had been an absolute blast – driving with Jeremy Clarkson is never dull.

The Deal with Friends and Cars

As it turns out, today was not just about driving with friends – it was also about having a good time. Jeremy and I hit the road in his McLaren, which quickly became apparent as the perfect car for this adventure. The drive through Italy was an experience unlike any other, with its stunning scenery and exhilarating racing cars.

As we made our way to Monza, the excitement grew – it wasn't just about driving a fast car, but also about seeing what the track had in store for us. And boy, did it deliver. We arrived at the circuit just as the other drivers were getting ready to hit the track, and Jeremy's enthusiasm was infectious.

The rest of the day was spent racing around Monza – or rather, watching from the sidelines as the pros took their turn on the track. While we did get a chance to take a few laps ourselves, it was clear that this wasn't our domain. We stuck out like sore thumbs in our sunglasses and Converse, but Jeremy didn't seem to care.

The Pit Lane Experience

As we made our way onto the pit lane, it became clear that everyone else was just as keen on a good time as we were. Cars lined up alongside each other, their drivers chatting and laughing as they waited for their turn to get back out on the track. It was chaotic – but in a good way.

One driver who stood out, however, was Tusko – a professional racing driver who had somehow managed to convince Jeremy to let him take his McLaren out for a spin. As we watched, Tusko launched into a series of hairpin turns that would put even the most seasoned driver to shame.

Jeremy laughed about it afterwards, saying that this was exactly what the McLaren was made for – and I think he's right. This car is meant to be driven hard, and if that means doing a few laps of donut-tastic drifting, then so be it.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: engood evening everyone I would normally say good morning but it is now quarter to 11:00 tonight and what I thought I'd do is start the video now tonight because we're

previous video where we took her where we took our is mclaren 675lt we took it where did we take it on a different path yeah I was under new flim pass and of course we had a lot of fun anyway he's invited me back down because tomorrow he's joining a supercar Club going to Monza and he's letting me drive his mclaren 675lt from Logano down to Monza in Italy and yeah I cannot wait as you can see he's cleaning it for me at the moment I'm making him work hard to give me the keys which doesn't really make any sense whatsoever but yeah especially if he's a good friend you are a good friend well you're giving me your McLaren for the morning so you're a pretty good friend yeah and his garage is pretty cool on how I'm gonna flip around a second because there's two very nice cars right in front of me 512 BB I gonna be honest with you I do not know a huge amount about Ferrari models but I do know this one and I do know it looks absolutely epic especially from the back I just love the whole body shape on the car massive flared arches and then right next to it he also has the Testarossa which is just probably one of my all-time favorite cars being a kid playing with the Froy Tesoro on some of the old computer games so we got there Testarossa got the 512 got the mclaren six seven five and then around the corner 550 menu and the interior looks super cool how's the cleaning coming along just very difficult I mean there works sticks to the pain that's a good workout just-just-just what you want to do at 11 o'clock a night it's now just after 11:00 in the evening so I'm gonna head off finish editing actually today's video and then hopefully get a few hours sleep and I shall see you bright and early in the morning morning everyone yes a bit of a rushed morning woke up a little bit late just now just come past at 7:30 and I'm jumping in at 675lt we're driving to Monza we've just crossed the border into Italy just trying to remember where everything is again get myself set up and I forgot how much these seats are just pure pockets they really are the definition of bucket okay how where am i what are we doing it's it's 7:30 and a hair another expressing it so I'm currently half asleep at the moment but I'm sure that's gonna change in a matter of a few minutes driving a 6 7 5 through Italy yeah it's a good place to drive as Jeremy Clarkson once said Italy is God's racetrack this is pretty epic start to the morning Italy in a6m5 guess you could say almost living the dream at the moment so much cooler stuff going on this is one of the most racing driver seating positions I think I've ever experienced in a road car sunrise coming up on driving it into Italy in an absolutely mad supercar on the way to Monza what a way to start the day that the Sun is beautiful sorry most of you know I have a thing for Sun flares and sunrises I only had a few hours sleep last night and yesterday I was filming hold a minute Panamera and yeah really spontaneously coming down here with the last-minute invites and Who am I to say no to this opportunity let's bring the noise absolutely rapid when I first drove this it really shocked me because you do get this baby hyper car feeling and it's not I've driven the hyper car but this is what I can imagine it feels like all kind of forms like anyway Oh edit even get some I'm awake now I'm away what I received Oh Tunnel what a crack this is it really just a little little I said little this is a race car that's nothing little about water way to wake up in the morning Waterway onwards to Monza let's see what Monza holds so we've now arrived at the Monza racetrack and there are some pretty epic stuff here mainly race cars so coming here I had no idea what to expect it just kind of came along for the ride and as far as we knew we thought it was going to be a group of supercars that is gonna go and have some fun on the track and as it turns out everyone's turned up in the supercars but then also brought their race cars with them actually do so it's looking quite serious out there on the tracking ones and they're full races and they're full-on race cars and we've turned up in a shiny McLaren in sunglasses and converse and yeah kind of standing out just a little bit on track bird tusko is just run out for his first lap around the track maybe I'm gonna go join him for a passenger ride in a bit so yeah I say let's go into the pit lane and see what's going on he's having on the track with just go for a quick lap if you've never been to Italy you will figure out there's not much health and safety I've even seen some Italian guy in his Porsche and I'm pretty sure he was wearing his bicycle helmet yeah I've now got a scooter helmet yeah which is better than Oh which I'm pretty sure I'm gonna look very cool oh yeah feeling cool you know it was like understeer before then oversteer and then she comes back on understeer it's very very weird yeah yeah you did half the donut yeah partial donor I think it's good this you just saw tusko decided out of nowhere to try and do some donuts in the McLaren and he also decided to do it without telling me which means after he did a few I only just started filming I had to run and grab my camera off the floor quickly anyway we're still pretty cool to see that's why I like this guy he really drives this card you know this is what it's made for what if this isn't made for doing donuts or drifting such but I mean it's made to be driven hard and that's exactly what he does with it now we're heading back after copper visor Monza was really really cool there although quite hectic so I ended up not doing too much there to be honest and as I learned trying to film in the car with someone driving full speed on a racetrack just doesn't really work so that's why I was having small clip and here comes a tunnel heading out of Monza I say we make a very nice sound that is a noise it's like whiplash a very aggressive Whitledge yeah happy to be back in this it was really cool though being in the car with us car driving around the track because he does actually race cars and show me what this car really can do was massively impressive driving through a rather narrow street in Italy with roadworks going on it can be a little bit nervous in this but that is by the fun when you come to Italy as I'm headed back now and I'm pretty sure we're gonna hit rush-hour traffic fairly soon going back through Italy I would say as far as having a deal with friends and cars today was definitely a good day we've already hit rush-hour traffic and I'm pretty sure there's not gonna be anything interesting to film over the next couple of hours but today was definitely a lot of fun hope you enjoyed seeing what we got up to today thanks for watching and bye for nowgood evening everyone I would normally say good morning but it is now quarter to 11:00 tonight and what I thought I'd do is start the video now tonight because we're leaving
