Top Gear: Paddy McGuinness wanted to ‘lie down and cry’ after going ‘drifting’ in Thailand
Paddy McGuinness needed to “lie down and have a cry” after going “drifting” in Thailand for Top Gear.
In the much-anticipated new series, the comedian a and co-presenters Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris take part in a “pick-up pilgrimage” across the country.
On their journey, McGuinness tries drifting, a technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction, while maintaining control and manoeuvring the car through a corner.
The comedian had visible sweat patches after spinning across a car park, prompting the driver to check if he was ok.
