And there's the British Champion the Paragon Panther.

And behind her the Vulgarian Vulture

Into the final straight, it's the Panther scattering all before her

Oh, there never was a car, there never was a car like this great car.
No there never was a car, there ever was a star like this great car.
No car ever want so far,
In winning every great Grand Prix
That great 8-litre motor race car is making history
COMMENTATOR
And way behind her the Vulgarian Vulture
CAST
That great 8-litre motor race car is making history
12 cylinders race away
to hasten her getaway
The Paragon Panther leads the race
The miles simply disappear
And year after winning year
The Paragon Panther, is best!

Oh, there never was a car,

And welcome to the Great British Grand Prix of 1910, and this year it's a warm welcome to beautiful Brooklands on this English summers day.
*Thunder*
Oh, so, lets welcome our honored guests from overseas, The Baron Bomburst, The Baroness Bomburst and their Entourage, all the way from Vulgaria
VULGARIANS
For the vulture of Vulgaria,
Is our great machine,
It is faster than all motor cars
the world has ever seen
To glorify Vulgaria
is our first and urgent goal
For if we should lose the race today
Vulgaria is withdrawn
COMMENTATOR
Let battle Commence
VULGARIANS

And it's Britain, and it's Vulgaria, they're neck-a-neck, and the Panther is coming up on the inside, and she's, oh my goodness, she's lost a tyre. This will need a pitstop, and a quick one.
That has to be the fast pitstop of all time. And now the Panther is off again, but she's way behind.
She's passing the French car, Au-revoire Froggies.
And she's overtaking the Spaniards, Adios Degoes.
And now approaching the Russians, leaving them inside the area.
Only one car left now, the Vulgarian Vulture, and the Panther's gaining, she's gaining, she's gaining, oh dear she's lagging, and she's gaining again! Go! Go! Go! Come on Cheer, cheer for England!
CAST
There never was a car, there never was a car
There never was a star, like this great car
This star, this wonderous car
COMMENTATOR
Oh, my god, what's this, she should be braking, she's out of control, something's gone horribly wrong, she's out of control, she's out of control, she's heading for the stands!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Run Like Hell!!!!
