Don't you reckon Jeremy would've had one bought for himself just in case anyway?

Why would he need to buy one? Who was broadcasting the match in the UK? If it was the BBC, Jeremy is a very valued and very highly-paid employee of the BBC. If it was Sky, Jeremy is a very valued and very highly-paid columnist for the Sunday Times and the Sun, both of which are owned by News Corp, which owns Sky. Does the word "perquisite" ring a bell?
 
Either way: do we know who of them actually went to the game?
 
If the race was a little longer, it was a solid 8. Needed more dicking about! If I want car reviews, I'll watch 5th Gear!

One of the highlights was Amy McDonald's accent!
 
Odd question, but does anyone know what kind of jacket James is wearing at the beginning of the race?
 
Kick-Ass music is back, welcome back TG. :cool:

If James was smarter, he could have said there was 5 stops to go. When really there was 4 and then just...

Quite a few weeks later...

My guess, all of them.

I checked their Twitter feeds for when this race was filmed (mid-September). Neither James nor Richard tweeted about going. On the other hand, Jeremy sent this one on September 19 (race filmed on 17th; match was on 18th)...

AC Milan is part of the Champions League.

My personal theory is that Richard gave his ticket to Jeremy.
 
I think it would have been more interesting to do this race as a real re-do of the 2004 race with the DB9, but with the new Vanquish. Start from Dunsfold, finish at Casino Square. Even though the train is faster now I believe James said that Jeremy won the original race by well over an hour.

I just don't understand why they did this race the way they did, especially since Willman said that they were waiting for years to have a great idea for a new race. This was really the best they could come up with? A strange premise in a boring irrelevant car?
