Richard races the new Mazda MX5, worth £18,000 against a greyhound worth £25,000. Jeremy compares driving a Honda NSX around Laguna Seca in a video game to the real thing. The Austin Healy Sprite and modified Peugeot 306 go head-to-head on the Prescott Hill Climb course to see which is best and there's the Top Gear Awards, where James is awarded the Golden Cock.

James and Richard are once again trying to beat Jeremy in another of their now famous races. This time, the race is on to see who will be the first to get from Alba in northern Italy, to the NatWest Tower in London. James and Richard are in a light aircraft piloted by James - Jeremy has to make-do with a Bugatti Veyron.

This week, the challenge is to try and buy a "decent" mid-engined supercar for under £10,000. Richard drives the Marcos TSO GT2 and there's a race through Lisbon between a car and a mountain bike.

The boys are off on a continental road trip to visit the Millau Viaduct in France. To make the journey more pleasant, each of them has chosen to travel in their favourite supercar. Richard drives a Pagani Zonda; James drives a Ferrari F430 and Jeremy drives his own Ford GT. Jeremy also drives the 'air-hostess orange' Focus ST on the track.

A challenge is set to see which is faster - a rock climber or an Audi RS4. The new Porsche Cayman S is reviewed and as part of a feature on the history of British Racing Green, Richard drives a Vanwall; a recreation of the 1958 car which won the 1958 world championship.

Which is the better car: the Aston Martin V8 Vantage; the Porsche 911 Carrera S or the new BMW M6? To find out, the boys take all three cars to the Isle of Man and test them on the island's roads where there is no speed limit on the open roads [unlike in the built up areas of the island].
