sure, I understand why they ended up where they did, but it makes for a pretty weak ending when Adam can drive right there and the others get off their mode of transport some distance away and have to figure out how to get to the finish.
Slipped just a notch from last week but still solid. 7/10.
Just my own opinion, but I hope NBC regrets their decision of chucking the show before giving it a chance.
I see a lot of potential in this show whereas I can't find many redeeming qualities with current NBC programming.

Drive by shooting : made in America.The ONLY reason celebrities go on any version of Top Gear is to plug a movie, TV show, political candidacy, a project or self-promotion. This is why celebrities appear on ANY show.
Commercials are bad? Cable television in the United States is a commercial venture. You know, a BUSINESS. No commercials, no Top Gear. And, that goes for all versions of Top Gear, including the UK. Manufacturers provide cars to to Top Gear for exposure/publicity. Just about every vehicle on license-funded BBC2 Top Gear is a commercial. Every celebrity on TGUK is a commercial. Do you think TGUK, TGAUS, or TGUSA pays manufacturers to supply vehicles?
I know Norway is socialist, but business makes the rest of the world run.
I gave this episode an 8.
(If the TGUSA copies the UK "drive by" Stig shooting, they will do it faster than 3 mph at a range greater than 5 feet.)

the race was awesome.
especially this moment:
And btw TG UK never done that :) So, the show is actually using sort of its own ideas... I think.
loved Michelle, and the first wet lap on track[/QUOTE]
They have done that. The challenge was basically a mash-up of a few TGUK challenges: The boat vs car vs bicycle during London episode (also the super boat vs Ferrari Daytona from Riviera to San-Tropez episode), the Cessna 182 airplane vs Veyron from Italy to London. So no, originality was not found in the last week's episode, nor was it challenging considering two of the presenters didn't even control their chosen powered-conveyances (or whatever they called if not the vehicles). It certainly wasn't "EPIC" either. I could moan about other issues with this episode but I may have to shut my mouth at this point even if it's just my opinion.
So far the lowest score I ever gave to any of the TGUSA episode. Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward for the next episode.

what would be an "original" idea for them to use that would involve a car racing something? please, enlighten me...

Well idk, at least swap an airplane with something bizarre like Aerocar or instead of a bland boat use the amphibious vehicle.
See creativity has no bounds. I know this show has just kicked off but just by mixing up some greater challenges from the original TG right at the beginning is a bit risky. I'm sorry if my views on this episode doesn't quite match with yours.
