more prepared then the other team members if anything (hammo?? who? richard hammond, the guy who drove?), clarkson is a 'casual' driver, hammond actualy has race licenses i believe. anyway the only way to prepare or get used to 300mph runs is to do them, there isnt a simulator that can teach you.
it was the last run of the day, filming had stopped it was a final run just for fun, at the moment the rumour mill is saying a tyre popped if thats the case i doubt the bbc could do much to help out.
there is no indication at all that they pshyched hammond (who by nature is up for everything) and certainly no indication that conditions were bad or unprepared. were there strong winds? the weather report for yesterday was pleasent.
it seems you have an axe to grind against top gear, like some groups (the idiotic transport 2000 lot for one) you seem to be making accusations with no evidence.
does this mean that we will now see boyraces attempting land speed records with 4500 lb thrust engines? if we do i will finaly believe that millions of boyracers copy topgear.
