In the properly "epic" races (Monte Carlo, Verbier, Oslo, northern Italy to NatWest Tower, Polar Special, across Japan), yes, the car has won all of them to date.
But if you consider all the races TG has done, the car hasn't won all of them... * A marathon runner over the London Marathon course (6x07; Fiat Panda) * A bicyclist through Lisbon (7x04; Renault Clio) * Parkour enthusiasts in Liverpool (8x07; Peugeot 207) * Hamster on a bicycle, Jezza driving a powerboat, and Stig taking public transport across London (10x05; Mercedes GL 500) * A tall man in wellies crossing the Humber (10x06; Alfa Romeo 159) * Two BMX bikers in Budapest (10x09; Fiat 500) * A £1.25M powerboat from Portofino to St. Tropez (12x05; Ferrari Daytona)

^That's why I said epic race.
 A long-term race, like they did in Japan, is epic. Races that can be measured in minutes are non-epic. And, remarkably, the car always wins the epic race, but almost never wins the short race.Maybe that's the logic behind this race. Not quite epic, not quite short. I guess it's anyone's game, really. |
