Petersen Engineering at Top Gear 

Top Gear Episode 6, Series 18.

 

The episode which aired March 2012, saw Jeremy Clarkson recreate the Battle of Britain with the Petersen aero-engined car and a flame-spitting retro BMW, called the 'Brutus'. 

 

We also had a Petersen Blower with us which James May and Richard Hammond drove (SEE VIDEO BELOW). 

 

The Stig also had a play in the aero-engined car and took it around the track.
