You get that sort of drivellatious commentary on every one of their programmes these days.
Continuity announcer who cannot modulate their voices.
But it's alright so long as they have an Oirish accent or something.
At least Viz isn't trying to be serious.

This won't do any favours to the relationship with their peers as they will notice the blatant favouritism and shun accordingly.
However, if peers are awkward because of the preferential treatment and 'easy life' these minorities receive, then that is neither sexist NOR racist.

I followed a brand new black Mac today as it came out of the factory main gate, seemed very nice in the flesh.
It then came back the other way after I stopped for refreshments at the Honda Garage, so maybe it was on a test drive, its seems very small in the flesh compared to Ferrari's etc.
On the engine sound I take it it is a flat plane crank V8, not a nasty slow reeving US burbling type , more like a Ferrari with lots of revs and effectively 2 fours working in harmony on one crank with rev's, power and screaming on tap.

The programme got a bit boring and repetitive towards the end for me. A few impressions in no particular order: the car is nicely sized with form = function to the fore, as such a true successor to the F1; the rest of the family is going to be interesting; what a massive investment and gamble this is, all through the credit crunch and out beyond; and fitting brakes is girls work 
Thanks to Pie for posting that S2000 drive by - I too had forgotten that pure lovely sound
