THE WALL OF DEATH
“WE KNEW IT COULDN’T JUST BE ANY WALL OF DEATH”
Zac Assemakis, TopGear producer: We knew it couldn’t just be any old Wall of Death. We wanted to create something bigger and bolder and faster and meaner. Problem is, we sit around in a meeting room where everything is possible, then it’s the cold light of day and you think, ah, we’ve got to make this happen. Fortunately, in the last series we’d done something equally stupid – bungeeing a car off the side of a dam – so we knew a bunch of boffins who were very good at maths. And they said it was crazy, but mathematically possible.
We knew it was going to be tricky.
