Segments[]

Film(s)[]

James and Jeremy head to the New Zealand for an epic race between the Oracle yacht and a 'rented' Toyota Corolla, dubbed as the fastest car in the world. The pair raced each other to the second northernmost point of New Zealand at the tip of the North Island. Jeremy's route was considerably longer than James' in the yacht and he had to journey through the crowded centre of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. In the end, James won the race, after swimming the final few metres to the shoreline whilst Jeremy's Corolla was beached.

Power Test[]

Richard heads to the track to test a trio of hot hatches: the Renaultsport Clio 200, Peugeot 208 GTi, and Ford Fiesta ST.
