Chapter 695 - Top Gear - 2

The wind across Dunsfold Aerodrome carried the chill of an English autumn afternoon. Charcoal clouds threatened rain, casting grey light across the cracked concrete of the World War II runway.

In the center of the tarmac sat the Nexus Vayu.

In daylight, free of studio halogen, the hypercar looked more menacing. The matte-carbon finish absorbed the light. It sat low, its front splitter hovering millimeters above the tarmac, the articulating rear wing locked in its neutral position.

Siddanth Deva stood a few yards away, his hands in the pockets of his dark trousers. The crosswind whipped at his jacket, but he remained still, his eyes moving over the lines of his creation.

Standing opposite him were the three hosts of Top Gear.

Chris Harris was crouched near the rear wheel arch, running a gloved hand over the Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo R tire, inspecting the tread. Paddy McGuinness was zipping his parka up to his chin, shivering. Freddie Flintoff towered over them, chewing his gum, his eyes darting between the hypercar and the Indian cricket captain.

The production crew—cameramen, boom operators, lighting technicians—were positioned in a semi-circle around the vehicle.

"Right then," Freddie boomed, his Lancastrian accent cutting through the wind. He rubbed his hands together. "We've seen the spec sheet. We've seen the math. We've even seen you shatter the celebrity leaderboard in a front-wheel-drive hatchback, which, I'll admit, is still giving me nightmares."

Freddie pointed at the Vayu.

"But this is a different beast entirely," Freddie declared, addressing the camera operator circling them. "Two thousand horsepower. Quad-motor torque vectoring. A carbon-titanium tub. Siddanth Deva claims he has built the ultimate, uncompromising hypercar. He claims it can beat the Ferraris, the Porsches, and the Paganis on our track."

Paddy nodded, pointing toward the far end of the runway. "And to find out if it actually can, we need the ultimate, uncompromising driver. We need a man who doesn't feel fear, doesn't feel cold, and probably doesn't know what cricket is."

Paddy paused, looking into the main lens.

"Some say he knows the exact drag coefficient of a raindrop..." Paddy began the time-honored incantation. "...and that his tears are actually high-octane aviation fuel. All we know is... he's called The Stig!"

From the shadows of a nearby hangar, a figure emerged.

He was clad in a white racing suit. A white, mirrored helmet obscured his face. He walked with a stiff, purposeful stride, his arms swinging. He didn't look left. He didn't look right. He walked in a straight line toward the driver's side door of the Nexus Vayu.

The Stig. The mute racing driver whose job on the program was to extract the maximum lap time out of the world's fastest cars.

Chris Harris stood up, wiping his gloved hands together. He looked at Deva, his expression shifting from purist to concerned journalist.

"I'm going to be honest with you, Siddanth," Harris said, his voice carrying over the wind. "I've driven some of the fastest cars on the planet on this track. But two thousand horsepower on a damp, cold English runway is a terrifying proposition. The tires won't have temperature. The surface is slick. The torque of four electric motors is going to try to snap the rear end of this car out on every single corner."

Harris gestured to the white-suited driver inspecting the gullwing door.

"The Stig is a professional," Harris continued. "He has driven every hypercar ever built. If anyone can keep this three-million-pound prototype out of the tire wall at the Hammerhead and set a true Power Lap time, it's him."

The Stig stood by the carbon-fiber door, waiting in silence.

The cameras rolled. The hosts waited for Deva to offer a polite nod, hand over the key fob, and let the television happen.

Deva looked at the white-suited racing driver, and then he looked directly at Chris Harris.

"He can't drive it," Deva stated.

The words were spoken softly. The boom operators leaned forward, unsure if they had heard correctly.

Paddy blinked, glancing between Deva and the Stig. "Sorry, mate? What do you mean he can't drive it?"

"I mean exactly that, Paddy," Deva replied. "He cannot drive the car."

Freddie Flintoff stopped chewing his gum. A smirk began to creep onto his face as he sensed the conflict. "He's The Stig, skip! It's literally his only job! Are you telling me you won't let him in your shiny toy?"

"I am not questioning his ability as a racing driver," Deva clarified, stepping forward. He walked past the hosts, stopping a few feet away from the Vayu and the silent Stig. "He is world-class. If the goal today was simply to drive the car around the track quickly and safely, I would hand him the keys right now."

Deva turned to face Chris Harris.

"But that is not the goal," Deva continued. "You want to set a Power Lap record. You want to find the edge of this car's mechanical grip. To do that, the driver has to rely on the active aerodynamics. They have to push the chassis beyond the point of standard lateral adhesion."

Deva gestured toward the stripped-out cockpit of the hypercar.

"If The Stig drives this car, he will leave the traction control and the stability management parameters engaged," Deva explained. "Because he does not know the car. He does not know how the quad-motor torque vectoring responds when the rear diffuser stalls at a hundred and forty miles an hour. He will rely on the onboard computer to save him from a spin. And a lap driven by a computer is not a true reflection of the machine."

Harris frowned, processing the logic. "So, you're saying the only way to get the true lap time is to turn the safety assists completely off?"

"Yes," Deva confirmed.

"Siddanth, that is madness," Harris argued, taking a step forward. "Two thousand horsepower with no traction control on a cold, damp track? The torque curve is instantaneous. The moment he touches the throttle on the exit of Chicago, the rear tires will light up, and the car will throw him into the grass at a hundred miles an hour."

"Exactly," Deva nodded. "Which is why The Stig cannot drive it. If he turns the assists off, he will crash. Not because he lacks skill, but because he lacks the hours of proprietary engineering data required to understand what the chassis is doing beneath him."

Paddy let out a low whistle, shaking his head. "Bloody hell. You've built a car so complicated and so angry that our tame racing driver isn't allowed to touch it."

Freddie Flintoff laughed, crossing his arms, enjoying the derailment of their production schedule. "Right then, Siddanth. If Stiggy here can't drive it... who exactly is going to set the lap time? Are we just going to look at it?"

Deva looked at the overcast English sky. He looked at the cracked, painted lines of the Dunsfold test track stretching into the distance.

He had designed every millimeter of the carbon-titanium tub. He had calibrated the downforce ratios of the front splitter. He knew how much lateral force the suspension geometry could sustain before the Pirelli tires surrendered their grip.

He didn't just understand the physics of the Nexus Vayu. He had written them.

Deva turned his head, looking back at the three hosts.

A smirk touched the corners of his mouth beneath his beard.

"I am going to drive it," Deva stated.

The silence that followed was complete. Even The Stig seemed to tilt his white-helmeted head slightly.

"You?" Paddy choked out. "Mate, you did a brilliant job in the hatchback, but this is a hypercar! It's a three-million-pound prototype! If you bin it into the tire wall, your insurance company is going to have a heart attack!"

"It is my company, Paddy," Deva reminded him. "I can afford the tire wall."

Chris Harris ran a hand over his face. He was an automotive journalist who loved cars, and the thought of a cricketer taking a prototype onto a damp track with no traction control was giving him palpitations.

"Siddanth, listen to me," Harris pleaded, dropping the television persona. "I respect your engineering knowledge. I respect your driving in the reasonably priced car. But driving an unassisted, two-thousand-horsepower hypercar requires reflexes and throttle modulation that you simply cannot learn in a boardroom or on a cricket pitch. It requires years of professional motorsport experience. The car will not forgive a single mistake. It will snap on you."

Deva looked at Harris. The journalist was offering genuine advice. He didn't know that Deva possessed an internalized understanding of vehicle dynamics. He didn't know that the muscle coordination required to hit a 150 kmph bouncer translated into steering inputs.

"I appreciate your concern, Chris," Deva replied. "But I did not fly five thousand miles to watch another man drive my machine."

Deva turned away from the hosts. He walked past the silent Stig.

He reached the driver's side of the Nexus Vayu. He tapped the capacitive sensor flush within the carbon fiber. The gullwing door rose silently on hydraulic struts, revealing the alcantara-lined cockpit.

He reached inside and picked up his matte-black carbon-fiber racing helmet.

"Clear the track," Deva commanded. He looked back at Freddie Flintoff. "Get your stopwatches ready, Freddie. I'm going to show you how to properly navigate your backyard."

Freddie threw his head back and laughed, clapping his hands together. "The absolute brass neck on this bloke! I love it! Alright then, skip! Your funeral!"

Paddy was shaking his head, waving to the camera crews to pull back. "He's actually doing it. The madman is actually doing it."

Chris Harris stared as Deva stepped over the wide carbon sill and dropped into the bucket seat. The journalist looked at the damp tarmac, and then at the sky.

"He's going to crash," Harris muttered, walking toward the production control monitors. "He is going to crash."

---

The interior of the Nexus Vayu was not designed for luxury. It was built to connect the driver to the machine.

Deva sat low, his hips positioned inches above the tarmac. He pulled the five-point racing harness over his shoulders, buckling the metal clasp over his chest and pulling the straps tight, pinning his torso to the alcantara seat.

He pulled the helmet over his head, securing the chin strap. The wind and the chatter of the production crew were muted, replaced by the sound of his own breathing.

He reached up and pulled the visor down. The world tinted.

His hands gripped the suede-wrapped, yoke-style steering wheel. He closed his eyes.

He didn't rely on magical interfaces. He relied on athletic conditioning and mechanical intuition. His heart rate slowed. His spatial awareness expanded from his fingertips into the steering column, down the pushrod suspension, and into the contact patches of the four Pirelli tires resting on the cold concrete.

He reached out toward the center console.

The Jnana OS screen was glowing, displaying the vehicle's active parameters.

Deva's gloved finger found the row of machined aluminum toggle switches below the screen. These were not digital buttons. They were mechanical switches that required force to actuate.

Click.

Electronic Stability Control: DEACTIVATED.

Click.

Traction Control Management: DEACTIVATED.

Click.

Active Aero Bias: TRACK AGGRESSIVE.

The safety nets were severed. The quad-motor powertrain was now linked to the travel of his right foot. There was no algorithm waiting to intercept a clumsy throttle input. If he gave it too much power, the car would spin.

He was holding a two-thousand-horsepower hand grenade with the pin pulled.

Deva opened his eyes.

"Track is clear," the production director crackled through his earpiece. "Whenever you are ready, Siddanth."

Deva engaged the drive gear. He didn't inch forward.

He pinned his left foot against the billet-aluminum brake pedal. He flexed his right ankle, burying the accelerator to the floorboard.

The electric inverters spooled up. It wasn't a roar of combustion. It was a high-pitched aerospace scream that vibrated through the carbon-fiber chassis.

He slipped his left foot off the brake.

The launch was not a buildup of speed. It was instantaneous.

Two thousand horsepower and thousands of Newton-meters of torque were deployed into the damp tarmac. The rear Pirellis scrambled for grip, smoking, before the all-wheel-drive torque vectoring caught the slip and hurled the car forward.

The G-force hit Deva's chest, pressing him into the bucket seat.

Zero to sixty miles per hour in 1.65 seconds.

The scenery on either side of the runway blurred into grey and green. The scream of the motors grew as the digital speedometer on his heads-up display flashed past 100... 120... 140 miles per hour.

"He's flying!" Paddy's voice echoed in the studio control room, watching the drone footage. "Look at the speed he's carrying!"

Approaching the first corner complex, Crooner Curves, Deva didn't touch the brakes.

This was a fast, sweeping left-to-right section that required aerodynamic grip. Deva kept his foot buried in the throttle, trusting the physics he had engineered.

He felt the weight of the air on the front splitter and the articulating rear wing. The car generated over a thousand kilograms of downforce, pinning the chassis to the tarmac. He made small, fast steering inputs, guiding the hypercar through the curves at speeds that would have ripped a normal supercar off the track.

He blasted down the short straight, the digital speedometer climbing toward 170 mph.

He was approaching Chicago, the sharp right-hand corner.

This was the braking zone Chris Harris had feared. Heavy braking from high velocity on a cold, damp surface with no ABS or stability control.

Deva didn't panic. His muscle coordination took over.

He didn't slam the brake pedal. He applied threshold braking—pressing the pedal to the millimeter before tire lock-up. The carbon-ceramic brake discs clamped down, glowing orange. The deceleration threw his head forward against the HANS device.

As he turned the yoke into the corner, he initiated a trail-braking maneuver. He eased off the brake pressure, maintaining enough forward weight transfer to keep the front tires compressed and biting into the damp tarmac, while preventing the rear end from stepping out.

He clipped the apex curbing by a fraction of an inch.

The moment he hit the apex, he rolled his ankle, applying power.

Because the traction control was off, the two thousand horsepower overwhelmed the rear tires. The rear of the Nexus Vayu snapped outward in an oversteer slide.

"HE'S LOST IT!" Harris shouted in the control room, jumping out of his chair.

Deva hadn't lost it. He welcomed it.

His hands moved in a blur. He applied opposite lock on the steering yoke. He didn't lift off the throttle. He kept his foot planted, modulating the power to maintain the slip angle.

He drifted the hypercar out of the corner, the rear tires spinning and smoking against the damp concrete, painting black lines of rubber across the track. He caught the slide on the exit, snapping the car back into a straight line without fishtailing.

"Good god," Harris whispered, staring at the telemetry monitor. "The throttle control... the steering speed. That is not normal. That is not human."

Deva rocketed toward the most complex section of the Dunsfold track: The Hammerhead.

It was a sharp left, followed immediately by a sharp right. It required a car to transition its weight from one side to the other.

Deva braked hard, the Vayu squirming under deceleration. He threw the car to the left. The chassis loaded onto the right-side suspension. He hit the left apex.

To make the immediate right-hander, he needed to rotate the battery mass instantly.

He executed a Scandinavian Flick.

As he exited the left apex, he lifted off the throttle while flicking the steering yoke sharply to the right. The sudden deceleration transferred weight to the front, making the rear end light and causing it to snap to the left.

He used the pendulum momentum of the swinging rear end to throw the car into the right-hand corner.

The Vayu slid sideways through the Hammerhead. Deva buried the throttle again, catching the drift with opposite lock, holding the car on the edge, before launching out of the corner and hurtling down the main runway straight.

"He's drifting a prototype through the Hammerhead!" Paddy screamed, holding his head in his hands. "He's going to destroy the tires!"

"He doesn't care about the tires!" Freddie Flintoff roared with laughter. "He's absolutely burying it!"

The Vayu tore down the main straight, the aerodynamic drag parting the air around the teardrop canopy. Deva's eyes were locked onto the horizon.

He was approaching the Follow-Through.

It was a sweeping right-hand curve, blind on entry. It was the corner that separated the brave from the insane.

Normal hypercars had to brake, or at least lift off the throttle, to navigate the curve without understeering into the grass.

Deva knew the aerodynamic data. He knew that if he lifted, the sudden loss of downforce would unbalance the chassis. The only way to survive the Follow-Through in the Vayu was to trust the aero.

Deva did not lift his foot. He kept the accelerator pinned to the floorboard.

He entered the blind right-hander at 185 miles per hour.

The lateral G-forces were crushing. Deva's neck muscles strained against the weight of his helmet as his body was thrown to the left side of the cockpit. The adaptive suspension compressed under the aerodynamic load. The titanium skid blocks under the flat floor scraped against the tarmac, sending a shower of orange sparks trailing behind the car.

The camera drone following the car could not keep up. It banked hard, its rotors screaming, but the matte-carbon hypercar pulled away, vanishing through the curve.

"Flat out," Harris murmured, shaking his head, his eyes glued to the live feed. "He took the Follow-Through completely flat out. The structural rigidity required to withstand those lateral Gs without the chassis snapping... the engineering is flawless."

Deva hurtled toward the final two corners. Bacharach and Gambon.

He braked hard for Bacharach, shifting the weight, navigating the left-hander.

He accelerated toward Gambon, the final corner before the finish line. It was a sharp right-hander, lined with raised red-and-white rumble strips.

He didn't take the safe racing line. He attacked the corner.

He threw the Vayu into the apex, cutting deep.

The inside tires hit the raised rumble strip at 120 mph. The impact was violent. The entire right side of the hypercar was launched into the air.

For a fraction of a second, Siddanth Deva drove the two-thousand-horsepower prototype on its two left wheels.

He didn't panic. He didn't lift. He held the steering yoke steady, trusting the balance of the central battery tub.

The car slammed back down onto all four wheels with a sparking thud. Deva applied maximum power, the rear tires smoking as they fought for traction over the painted finish line.

The digital stopwatch flashed.

Deva lifted off the throttle, hitting the brakes, allowing the carbon-ceramic discs to bleed the velocity off the hypercar. The electric motors spooled down, transitioning from a scream to a hum.

He completed the cool-down lap and rolled into the hangar, bringing the car to a halt in the exact spot it had started.

He unbuckled the five-point harness. He pushed the gullwing door open.

He stepped out of the cockpit, pulling his helmet off. His hair was plastered to his forehead with sweat, his breathing heavy but controlled. The smell of burning rubber and hot carbon-ceramic brakes filled the hangar.

He walked around the car, looking at the tires. The edges of the Pirellis were melted and blistered, the rubber shredded by the lap.

He looked up.

The hangar was silent. The production crew, the cameramen, and the sound technicians were staring at him.

Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness, and Freddie Flintoff walked toward him.

Paddy looked at the shredded tires, and then at Deva. "Mate. What in God's name was that?"

Chris Harris didn't make a joke. He walked up to Deva and stopped. He looked at the Indian captain with reverence.

"I have been doing this job for twenty years," Harris said. "I have sat in cars with Formula One world champions. I have sat in cars with rally legends. I have never seen someone manhandle a car like that. The trail-braking into Chicago... the slip angle you held through the Hammerhead with no traction control... that was not driving. That was violence."

Deva offered a faint smirk. "The car requires a firm hand, Chris."

"Firm?" Freddie Flintoff boomed, throwing his arms in the air. "You took it on two wheels through Gambon! I thought you were going to flip the bloody thing into the grass! You are an absolute maniac!"

"I trust my skills, Freddie," Deva smiled, rolling his shoulders. "The center of gravity is exceptionally low. It wasn't going to flip."

"Right," Paddy clapped his hands together, shaking his head. "Well, you survived. The car survived. But the question is... how fast was it?"

Deva tucked his helmet under his arm, looking at the hosts. "Let's go to the studio and find out."

---

The transition from the hangar back into the Top Gear studio was jarring.

The studio was packed. Hundreds of automotive fans were clustered around the circular stage. The atmosphere was buzzing with rumors of the lap that had just occurred on the runway outside.

Deva sat on the worn leather couch in the center of the stage, flanked by Chris, Paddy, and Freddie. He looked relaxed, the exertion of the Power Lap hidden.

"Welcome back to Top Gear!" Freddie shouted over the applause, holding a microphone. "Now, before the break, our guest, Siddanth Deva, decided that our tame racing driver wasn't good enough to drive his new three-million-pound hypercar. He decided to do the Power Lap himself."

The audience cheered.

Freddie turned to Chris Harris. "Chris, you watched the telemetry. You watched the onboard footage. Give us the purist's breakdown."

Chris Harris sat forward. He looked at the studio audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am a skeptic," Harris began. "When Siddanth unveiled the Nexus Vayu, I called it a computer on wheels. I assumed it was a heavy, numb electric appliance that would understeer into the barriers. I was wrong."

Harris turned to look at Deva.

"He turned every single safety assist off," Harris explained to the crowd, drawing a collective gasp. "He drove a two-thousand-horsepower car on a damp track using purely his own hands and feet. The throttle modulation through the Hammerhead... the commitment to take the Follow-Through completely flat out... it was a masterclass in car control. He proved that the Nexus Vayu isn't just fast in a straight line. It is a mechanical monster."

The audience erupted into applause, recognizing the compliment from the harsh critic.

"Right then," Paddy interrupted, rubbing his hands together. "Enough of the nerd talk. Let's see the numbers!"

Freddie Flintoff stood up. He walked over to the Power Lap board on the edge of the stage. The board displayed the all-time lap records set by the greatest supercars in history, driven by The Stig.

At the top of the board, the benchmark was currently held by the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, with a time of 1:11.3.

Freddie pulled a strip of magnetic tape from his pocket. The studio fell silent.

"Siddanth Deva," Freddie announced. "You drove an unassisted, electric hypercar on a cold, damp English runway. You went completely sideways through the Hammerhead. You went on two wheels through Gambon. You did it in a time of..."

Freddie peeled the backing off the magnetic strip.

He didn't just place it above the Ferrari. He placed it high above the top of the board, slapping it onto the blank space reserved for cars that defied logic.

NEXUS VAYU (DRIVEN BY S. DEVA) - 1:07.4

The studio roof almost blew off.

The audience exploded. They weren't just cheering. They were screaming. Deva had beaten the all-time track record by four full seconds. In motorsport, a four-second gap on a short test track was not a victory. It was an annihilation of the previous benchmark.

Paddy McGuinness jumped off the couch, grabbing his head. "ONE MINUTE, SEVEN POINT FOUR! HE'S OBLITERATED THE RECORD! HE HAS ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATED IT!"

Chris Harris stared at the board, shaking his head. He looked back at Deva, offering a slow clap.

Freddie Flintoff walked back to the couch, holding his hands up to quiet the crowd. He looked at Deva.

"I have to admit, Siddanth," Freddie said. "When you walked into that hangar this morning and started talking about dismantling my fast bowlers and dismantling my track... I thought you were full of it. I thought you were just a billionaire with a big ego."

Freddie extended his hand.

"But you backed it up," Freddie conceded. "You built a spaceship, and you drove it like an absolute demon. Fair play, mate. You win."

Deva stood up from the leather couch. He buttoned the single button of his dark jacket. He looked at the lap-time board, and then at the English legend.

Deva reached out and gripped Freddie's hand.

He didn't smile warmly. He didn't offer a PR-trained platitude.

"I told you, Freddie," Deva said, as the Top Gear theme music began to swell.

"I own the pitch." Deva offered a smirk. "And I own the track."

The mic was dropped. The audience erupted one last time as the credits rolled over the Indian captain standing in the heart of British automotive culture.

Three weeks later, the episode aired globally on the BBC and international streaming platforms.

The transition from a television broadcast to a global digital meltdown took fourteen minutes.

The internet combusted. Servers at Twitter, Vibe, and Reddit experienced latency spikes as millions of users rushed to process the footage of Siddanth Deva driving a two-thousand-horsepower hypercar on two wheels.

The algorithm, hungry for the intersection of sports, engineering, and entertainment, prioritized the event. Within an hour, the hashtags #NexusVayu, #TheArchitect, and #TopGearDeva were occupying the top ten trending spots worldwide.

The digital fallout was a mosaic of shock, awe, and banter.

@LewisHamilton: Just watched the Top Gear segment. The aerodynamic downforce generated by that chassis through the Follow-Through is absolutely staggering. But the throttle modulation to hold that slip angle without traction control? Siddanth, mate, if you ever get bored of cricket, give me a call. We might have a seat for you. 🏎️💨👏

@GeorgeRussell63: I'm still trying to process the Scandinavian flick into the Hammerhead. He threw a 1600kg EV into the corner using weight transfer like a Group B rally driver. Absolute madness. Respect! 🤯🏁

@Max33Verstappen: No driving assists. 2000 horsepower. Damp track. That is proper, raw racing. The car looks like an absolute beast. When do we get to test it? 👀🔥

@ChrisHarris (Official): I have spent my entire career reviewing the fastest cars on earth. I have never seen anything like the Nexus Vayu, and I have never seen anyone drive with that level of terrifying, mechanical violence. The man is a genius. I am officially a believer. 👑🏎️

@CricketNerd_IND: Let me get this straight. Siddanth Deva went to England, destroyed their cricket team, built a car that destroys their supercars, and then casually went on their biggest TV show and took The Stig's job? The disrespect is absolutely magnificent! 😂🇮🇳👑

@UK_Petrolhead_99: I've been a Ferrari purist my whole life. I thought EVs were microwaves. But watching the Vayu spit orange sparks from the titanium skid blocks while doing 185mph... I repent. Nexus just built the greatest hypercar of the century. ⚡🔥

@DesiSarcasm:

Freddie Flintoff: "Welcome to my backyard, let's see if you get scared."

Siddanth Deva: Breaks the track record, puts the car on two wheels, and steals the deed to the backyard. 💀🏡

@VFX_Guru_Official: The active aero on that car! When he hit the brakes for Chicago and the rear wing articulated to act as an airbrake... the physics are flawless. Nexus is operating in the year 2050 while the rest of the automotive industry is stuck in 2015. 💻🏎️

@FanGirl_Sid: Deva sitting in the cockpit with the dark visor down, not saying a word, just turning off all the safety switches... it was giving absolute supervillain energy. I am terrified and obsessed. 🥵🖤

@MemeCentral_Desi:

The Stig: "I am the ultimate anonymous driving machine."

Siddanth Deva: "Move over, I need to show Freddie Flintoff who owns the UK."

The Stig is currently filing for unemployment. 📉🚶‍♂️😂

@BarmyArmyTears: Look, we took the cricket loss on the chin. But coming onto Top Gear and beating our lap records? This is getting personal now, Deva. Please leave our country before you buy Big Ben and paint it orange. 😭🇬🇧

@Virat_Army_Delhi: The aura of Siddanth Deva is actually terrifying. He didn't just beat the record; he stared down Chris Harris, out-nerded him on physics, and then drove like an absolute psychopath. The King does whatever he wants! 👑🔥

@TopGear_Fans_UK: I've watched the onboard footage of the Gambon corner 50 times. He literally drove it on two wheels and didn't even flinch. His heart rate was probably resting at 60 bpm. The man is an alien. 👽🏎️

@Local_Uncle: Very proud of Siddanth Deva for showing the British how to properly drive a car. He is representing Indian engineering on the global stage. Good focus, no distractions. 🙏🇮🇳

@Gamer_Boy007: I need the Nexus Vayu added to Forza Horizon immediately. If the game physics don't let me do a 2000hp Scandinavian flick through a corner, I am uninstalling. 🎮🚗💨

@SportsFreakIN: "I own the pitch. And I own the track." The coldest mic drop in television history. Freddie Flintoff looked like he wanted to argue but mathematically couldn't. Deva is the ultimate final boss of life. 🥶🎤⬇️

@Sonia_Styles12: Deva walking out of the car, pulling his helmet off, looking exhausted but entirely unbothered... the aesthetic was flawless. Also, Krithika is the luckiest woman on the planet. Just saying. ✨🔥

@CricketShitpost:

English Bowlers: "Thank God we don't have to face him today."

English Supercars: "WHY IS HE HERE?! WHY IS HE SO FAST?!"

Deva is just terrorizing English institutions at this point. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥

@Vibe_Official_Trends: #NexusVayu and #TheArchitect have completely shattered the server bandwidth today. This episode has generated more global traffic than the entire season of Top Gear combined. The Deva effect is absolute. 🌐💥
