Yeah lets just say the entire season hinges on this episode of high expectations. Especially since the first three episodes haven't really wowed me. Well, the 3rd one wasn't bad.

I remember some comment about individual films not taking up most of the show, made in advance of series 11, by Andy?
One might hope this isn't relevant for an epic race.

Oh boy this is bad. Expecting great things from this episode now.

Alfa Romeo 8C - BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG! Hope this will be a shattering review.
GT-R challenge - Gonna be awesome, will be expecting lots of good good things, especially beautiful scenery
Fiona Bruce - Awesome, hopefully going to be a good SIARPC as JC is in wub with her.

This will be the climax of this series, I just know it. I just hope we're not all disappointed since we have high expectations.

In the preview they showed in the first episode JC was driving a red GT-R on the road, but in the BBC's TG page there is a picture of him driving a grey GT-R on a track:

Maybe Jeremy is going to do a track test of the car before the big race?

To not put the GT-R around the test track would be a crime against humanity.

I hope this episode also includes the quick looks at various Mitsuoka cars that was hinted at in the "preview of the upcoming season" bit from episode 1.

Doesn't matter to me who wins or loses (or the fact that there's supposedly a "race" at all.) What matters to me is getting to see what amounts to an extended review of a nice car on some potentially interesting stretches of road. Three cars head to head are my favorites, the races are the next best thing.
