I'm absolutely blown away by the generosity, time and the scale to which people went to support you on this. It is testament to yourself Calvin and the super talented person also that Sabine was. She was a real gem for Top Gear. I wish you all the best of luck for your trip and please, pretty please drive safe!

Calvin! What a transit-formation! Amazing,after very very recently losing a very close friend to a terrible illness this has really hit hard with what you have done,macmillan looked after after my friend up until her last day you don’t realise how much it means of course I made my donation,after seeing my sticker on there aswell is incredible that has been on the ring how cool! Thankyou mate honestly and evil gt and everyone els that took the trip for an incredible cause,Schmitz is missed so much by all us car enthusiasts and anyone who knew of her,it’s so heart warming to see how much effort you made to recreate such an iconic top gear episode your an inspiration man I take my hat off to you perhaps we’ll meet one day and I can thank you in person legend!

Excellent work and hope you have a good trip across, just please remember not to make a big thing of the timing on track as it is not allowed, no harm at all in reviewing afterwards (assuming you are doing TF and not a trackday) would hate for you to do all this and then run into problems over timing 👍
