A challenge is set to see which is faster - a rock climber or an Audi RS4. The new Porsche Cayman S is reviewed and as part of a feature on the history of British Racing Green, Richard drives a Vanwall; a recreation of the 1958 car which won the 1958 world championship.



James and Richard turn their attention to radio-controlled cars - Top Gear style and Jeremy plays with a rather special Vauxhall Astra VXR, but why is it worth 60,000?

James and Richard are once again trying to beat Jeremy in another of their now famous races. This time, the race is on to see who will be the first to get from Alba in northern Italy, to the NatWest Tower in London.
