“Crash Course allows Hammond to take Top Gear’s destruction to a whole new level: he has access to professional, even military, machines to crush, rip apart and eviscerate anything that has the misfortune to come in his path. One of the episodes takes Hammond to Fort Bliss in Texas, which the Times says “may be the least British place on earth,” to use an Abrams tank to flatten an American icon, a Ford Mustang. But Hammond also crushes a Chevy – and a Porsche. Throughout the run of the series, says the Times, 15 minivans are destroyed.”
