Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The Yorkshire Dales provide the backdrop for an epic contest between three exquisite cars, the Jaguar XK, the BMW650i and the Mercedes SL350, and a frozen lake in Iceland is the setting for a race between a powerful rally car and a jet powered kayak. Chef Gordon Ramsay is the star in the reasonably priced car.

Our Take

Confident and engaging. The plot moves, the stakes feel real, and the hour flies by.
