The reality, somewhat prosaic.
It's very easy to race the rotation of the Earth in a car, just carefully select your latitude. Far enough north or south and a tortoise could do it, though it might freeze to death in the attempt.
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

Sounds almost as good as Hammond a few weeks go, dropping a VW Beetle from a helicopter a mile up, to see if it could beat a Porsche doing a mile on the flat ...

Anyway, I recorded last night's episode, and will watch later this evening. :coffee:

Mythbusters did something very similar to that last year, testing a commercial. Top Gear is derivative.
