They sometimes mix films from different times. When James went back AGAIN to the square they started, there probably wasn't a camera crew filming him from the outside re-entering the square. So they decided to use old footage where he first entered the square and mix it with the footage from inside his car when he genuinely went back into the square again. You can tell its footages from two different times because from the camera behind the car at 5:50, you can see a lot of people sitting at the cafe at the right, the scene right afterwards where he is in car, there is no one in the cafe at his right.

If they presented the race the way is actually was, it would be must less entertaining.

Lucca is a very little town and most part of it is a pedestrian area. The area accessible by car is very limited and it's impossible to get lost (unless you need to fake it to make your tv show cooler), so no matter if you're a local or a tourist, you just have to follow the traffic sign, the way is almost forced, and you'll be outside the city walls in a few minutes. :)
