You are correct. It was Clarkson who did the whole segment, and it was great in his usual way.
I think my favorite one of the bullshit Lancia did is still the one where they only made half of the Civilian-spec cars they were supposed to, but managed to bullshit the inspectors long enough to move the cars from one lot to the other and change their VIN numbers to make it look like they made enough.
If you aint bending the rules, you aint truly racing.

As for the maneuver used here: I've read somewhere that he was not the first to try this. He was the first that succeeded.
