Does the rider actually get a knee down this time?

Someone ought to point out to the top-gear neanderthals that the v8 powering their atom wouldn't exist without using Suzuki motorcycle parts. LOL

As it happens, Clarkson himself points out that "the Atom's three litre V8 is actually two motorbike engines stuck together" when the new Stig does the power lap.FastCat wrote:Someone ought to point out to the top-gear neanderthals that the v8 powering their atom wouldn't exist without using Suzuki motorcycle parts.

And, while one might assume that British Evolution Superbike Champion Mr. Steve Brogan actually does get his knee down; if he did, it happened out of frame. Definitely got close about twice, but I cannot verifiy actually down-ness.

It appears that Mr. Brogan's knee might touch down at the entrance to The Hammerhead, but I couldn't be certain. I had to wonder how familiar he is with the Top Gear Test Track.
I also thought that they should have run the two separate, then superimposed one run atop the other, they way they do it on Fifth Gear.
That Tiff's a good sport, eh wot?
