Just saw the episode and came here to find the thread, didn't see it so making it myself.
So the latest episode is a mini-special road trip from Georgia to Azerbaijan, with Clarkson in a DBS Superleggera, Hammond in the new Continental GT and May in an also new M850i.
In my opinion this is by far the best episode of the season, begining strongly and (despite some ups and downs in the middle) managing to stay there till the end. Starting with some old school banter at the begining, they felt like they were really into it. Me and my sister were laughing off when James broke the wooden panel at Stalin's house. Clarkson and May sticking Stalin's head on the GT was crude but Hammond mistaking it for Nigel Mansel till the end made up for it. Then at the race track, watching the DBS and Continental drifting was truly satisfying and the race challenge itself ended with a bang. One surprise was when the two modified BMWs showed up next to the M850i. The race vs the Renault was pretty realistic and a bit nerve racking when they entered the village. Near the end when they talk about their cars, that was nicely done and again felt old school-ish. And finally the 8 series beating the GT and DBS in the drag was another surprise.
There's so much more to talk about this episode but I'll stop here. I wanted to give this 11 out of 10 but will stick to the rules.
