Re: Close or what!!
You can't trust Topgear videos, many of them are CG fakes. Even at Le Mans they would not put such mismatched classes on the track at the same time.

Where's that one of the supersport rider nearly hitting another bouncing bike with his face?

Re: Close or what!!
do you have a link? - Apart from the mismatch, the camera is not in any normal position, it hides much of the track detail - it's also an unsafe overtake even on a race track, - there's far more room to the right of the 'camera car' which also gives the overtaker a way out (on the grass) if something goes wrong - where's the safety cage? - I'm suspicious of all top gear videos... (particulalry if it shows Clarkson driving at more than 30 mph
