Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jeremy, Richard and James head to Central Europe on a road trip nobody has ever thought of, in cars nobody would ever dream of. This epic 1400-mile journey takes them from Gdańsk in Poland, through Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. They sample some Soviet style Formula 1, are attacked by deadly archers, recruit a famous racing driver and take part in a spectacular Fast and Furious climax.
Our Take
A mostly strong special that leans on the trio’s easy chemistry rather than any real stakes. The Central European settings are gorgeous and the Soviet-era racing bit is a genuine highlight, though the Fast and Furious finale feels like a rerun of stunts they’ve done better before. Worth your time if you’re already a fan, but it won’t convert anyone.
