what did everyone think of Eurocrash? I haven't watched it yet, but am planning on watching later today

Sorry forgot to respond I thought it was good

I thought it was decent, the cars were interesting and the gags were funny.

Nigel mansell was obviously staged and got a bit old. The airplane was obviously staged but entertaining, and they did call out the absurdity of the runway.

As for Hammond getting oil all over the racetrack, I can't tell if it was staged or not. Likely not.

The Nigel Mansell was very cringey imo, they should had ended the joke a couple minutes later and don't force it during that long. It was the worst part from an overall good episode with their classic jokes.

Yeah it would have been funnier if it instantly melted outside the museum, or if they accidentally broke it or tan over it while trying to put it on the car.
