Chris Harris On The Lotus 79 | Top Gear: Series 27

RIP Ronnie Peterson 👏🇸🇪

The Lotus 79 is the greatest F1 car of all time!

Best dang road car in iRacing....

You made on of the most special F1 cars in history look slow.


What is it with your videos and the slo mo stuff? Go fast!!!

Chris is already a legend! Who didn't like this video, I don't get the negative thumbs...

Chris Harris is a legend!

I miss Chris Harris on Cars. Totally the perfect bloke for Top Gear ... but better on his own.

where the fug is the driving?

Top Gear would be more than fin just with Chris Harris on it.

Idk why they pay the other presenters a salary.

I like this guy just as much as jeremy

The presenter Top Gear should have had donkeys years ago. Classy, respectful, geeky, articulate, great in front of the camera.

I think people have been screaming out for original unedited content from Chris; me included and this is it. I'd give my left testicle just to prod the OS front type with a ruler and Chris had it sideways 😬

That is exactly what I would expect to happen.

Chris Harris, drive and review a koenigsegg!

Chris your talking shit

I had a really good chuckle lol (-:

I've said it before but I'll say it again, Chris Harris could drift a house

Thanks for copying the grand tour

Harris on Top Gear kinda makes The Stig redundant.

Harris a treasure.

I’m with all the other Harris fans, give him own show TG.

The Lotus type 88 was another ingenious Lotus

Only relevant TG presenter right here

This was a great, great piece. In the past top gear just skimmed over technical stuff. This is how you can improve over what they did. They'd never be able to present this.. Go into more detail, how does ground effect work... Most people watching are more than happy to sit through a physics lesson, even if some of it goes over some people's heads. We (viewers) can to learn, we want something that has at least the chance of broadening our knowledge, not just stuff that's easy to understand. There's no limit on how technical you can get. More stuff like this, and don't be afraid over losing a few viewers for half a minute if they didn't have the prerequisite knowledge. Worst that it can do is spur them on to find out more.

When you are in an iconic F1 car and your first thought is “will it drift?”

But why in the world would he say the car was "given the ultimate accolade" of being "'pretty much banned"? It was never banned. It was never even close to being banned.

Thank Harris for saying the correct thing about the Lotus 79 and ground effects.

h
He said it "Defined ground effects", most say it was the "first ground effects car", which it wasn't, not even the first F1 ground effects car.

Yep , could watch Chris Harris all day as he's brilliant . But just can't watch this new incarnation of top gear as the other presenters make my teeth grate .

LEGENDDDDD!!!!

Well..your not gonna lap a motorsport relic at full speed, specialy in the wet, so..well done, drift it and send a picture to the owner later. Hahah

Chris harris is cool

HAHAHAHA Drifting a priceless, championship winning Formula 1 car! Harris, you utter legend!

Atta boy, Chris. You've got your priorities sorted.

Wow. Good job... Maybe stay you never know what else there is to drive later...

BEST!

I'd love to see how the current f1 guys do if they actually had to change gear manually

Top lad. Proper. Need more space

That would be awesome

How dare they make an awesome video about a legendary race car without the sound of the engine in it 🥺

Time to kill top gear of and give Chris Harris his own show

What a legend!

This is the content we want! More please!

I will always stay with you Chris Harris

😎👍

The cigs came in boxes and containers with the same livery!

LEGEND

Drop all that chat show nonsense and do more of this. It's a few minutes each week of nerdery and wonder.

One of these Lotus 79s is on the vintage circuit - I've seen it at Watkins Glen - awesome

To bad that Marios teammate Ronnie was faster and better then him but Mario still was the one got the better car and Ronnie was told to not win.
