Recently Tim Emmett & Leo Holding appeared on the British automotive TV show 'TopGear'. A friend of mine just sent me the link:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5252945100827089880
It's fairly entertaining and, i think, worth checking out but mainly though I'm curious, does anyone know on what route this was shot? Pretty sure it's somewhere at Gorges du Verdon judging from pictures i've seen but i'm not positive so correct me if i'm wrong. If anyone knows the specific route though, please let us know. Thanks!

Gotta love Top Gear. Even if you're not really into cars, they always have great ideas like this.
Climb looked pretty difficult to me, but i don't know where it is.

What grade is that? That looks seriously hardcore. The mono near the end was crazy! The jumps a nice touch, though. I really need to go there, even if I can't climb it. Although since it is in France,you could stop at Fountainbleu and then go watch hardcore people climb that route.
