MINI | Did Beau Ryan Crash A $700,000 Porsche While Filming Top Gear?

You're listening to Bow Rhyne Cat and Wood's The Untrible, and we've got a big show on the way.

Dr Chris Brown will be joining us after eight o'clock.

I cannot wait to do it.

He's going to have favourites.

What about what he did on the weekend?

Yeah.

At the F1.

I didn't see it.

Well firstly, the F1 is only the elite of the elite getting invited to.

Of course he's on that list.

Of course.

But did you guys see what he did?

No, explain this to me.

I hear there was a bit of an incident.

So on his social media, he's revealed a lot.

So he can go there.

We'll put it on our triple and breakfast.

Go there first for our views.

Yes.

He has been, he's drinking a coffee.

He's not a big alcohol guy, right?

He's drinking a coffee at the F1.

He's thrown his coffee cup over the fence.

You can't do that.

And look, in his video, he's edited it to the land that Morris has hit it.

What I think has really happened is Piaštri has clipped that cup.

Yeah.

Because it's a big cup.

Yeah, also it was during the warm-up lap.

During the warm-up.

A Piaštri has crashed.

And we all know what happened then.

He was out of the race.

The Pomi won.

So he's cost us our Aussie man.

Yes.

Piaštri.

Oh, it's crazy though.

Because, I mean, I can't imagine how much that car would cost.

Oh.

Because in my mind, I'm like, don't you just roll out the other car?

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

There's only one of them.

Yeah.

There's only one there worth of fortune.

Yeah.

Well, you did.

The game, they do, they do, they do.

I know you're thinking, they do have other cars,

but they're not like the ones actually taking on a TV show.

No, it's okay.

With, it's happened to me on a TV show.

What do you mean?

Is it when you were doing, um...

Oh, top gear.

Yes.

Years ago, so we all took turns at driving cars.

And it was a, before our studio shut,

so we'd already filmed for five months overseas.

Yep.

And we had to go and film some of the track work

where the celebrities race around the track.

Yep.

And they also give reviews of cars.

Okay.

And J.O.P., Jonathan LaPalleah

was doing the reviews.

Him and, and Blair, the other girl,

we're doing a lot of the reviews.

Oh, I couldn't care less about the reviews.

So they were doing them day by day.

Now, J.O.P. was out there one day,

and he was doing a Porsche RS.

But, I think the car was roughly $750,000.

Oh, my God, I'll be that scared of driving.

About 50 crew out there at Merulin,

out near Goblin, they got a nice little track there.

It's real tight.

You can't wind up.

It's good for little cars,

but it's like little, you know,

six cylinders leaving smaller.

But it's not good for big,

powerful V8s or supercars.

He's in this Porsche.

Now, you have to do pieces to camera

in the car talking about the car.

So, he's well-prepared.

He wanted to go, you know,

and they said, I just wait.

We'll just wait.

We're going to put a camera in the stands.

We're going to set cameras.

You go, pros up in your car,

and we'll have three or four cars

following you about 10 cameras, right?

J.O.P. goes, oh, but I want to go for a lap first.

The warm up, they go, you can do your warm up,

but just wait.

He goes, oh, actually just do one lap.

He takes off in this Porsche, right?

Comes around the first corner.

Gets right under it.

Whap, whap, whap, whap, straight into a wall.

Oh, no.

Geez.

Writes it off.

Oh, really?

Writes off a $700-something-dollar car.

Yeah, and the problem with those cars,

it's not only the value of the car,

yes, that's a lot of money,

because it's insurance.

It's trying to get another car like that.

You can't film,

because we've got 50 crew there.

A lot of them from the BVC, the UK,

that have been flown over to film again.

In a short space of time.

So, they hunted one up, million dollars.

It was in, I think, Brisbane,

trucked it down in a day, and he did it the next day.

What was his reaction when he got out of the crash cart?

He rang me straight away and went, bro.

I go, what's going on?

Man, he goes, oh, bro.

He goes, I just put a Porsche into a wall, man.

I can't talk, bro.

But...

He says it, the driver's broken, bro.

No, I said, man, that's why you let me drive.

I'd like to know what he's done.

Americans can't drive, man.

I can't go, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro.
