Episode Summary & Review
Summary
We are in New York to find the fastest way from the Big Apple to Niagara Falls in a race featuring Jeremy in the new Ford GT versus James May on public transportation, dragging an injured Richard Hammond. Also, Jeremy tests the Mercedes-AMG GT R at the Eboladrome, cricketer Kevin Pietersen goes against baseball’s Brian Wilson in Celebrity Face Off, and The American test driver is replaced.
Our Take
The New York to Niagara race is the best kind of Grand Tour nonsense, with Clarkson’s smugness in the Ford GT nicely undercut by public transit actually keeping pace. The AMG GT R segment is solid if familiar, though the celebrity bit feels like filler. A fun, easy hour even if it never quite hits top gear.
