* UPDATE * The full episode is – for now – on YouTube. Catch it below!

If you missed Sunday’s episode of the new American version of Top Gear on History, you can catch it streaming online (at least for now) embedded in the player below.

The “HALO vs. VelociRaptor” segment starts at the beginning, as Tanner Foust takes the VelociRaptor 475 on a 5-mile race across the Arizona desert against a HALO jumper slicing through the air from 25,000 feet. We won’t spoil the ending, but it is a close race.

Then, watch as the Stig takes the supercharged VelociRaptor 600 version of the F-150 Raptor around the Top Gear test track. To see a truck this size, with this much power, traverse the grueling pavement is a sight to be seen.
