Jeremy emerges from the darkness on to "God's Race Track", Italy. James and Richard bide their time tracking the train's speed. Jeremy attempts to summon up the heroic film character quality of the Mustang in his very own race to the death... well to a bar outside the San Siro stadium. Keep watching for James' secret weapon!

It always impressed me how close these races were. Judging by the guys reactions they are genuinely excited to find out if they won so it's not like the finishes are staged. For them to travel hundreds or thousands of mile via different means and consistently arrive within minutes of each other is some impressive logistics work on behalf of the producers.

It was definitely some impressive logistics. Then again while the races themselves are fair, they aren't always the most honest about the end timings. In the race to monte carlo Jeremy is supposed to have arrived a good hour before the others. Verbier has to be my favourite, after monte carlo they decided to push it a lot tighter against the plane. You can see about halfway through that clarkson was leagues behind so they decided to just send him caning through france leaving the crew behind, that's why the filming style changes. It's the on site that pick him up in verbier. There's no way it should have worked, but it's amazing that it did. After that, they played it safe with Oslo (which didn't end up mattering). Structured the veyron to London much tighter which worked mostly but the gap is still a good half hour. Finally, they had clarkson dick around with no satnav in Tokyo for an hour which brought that to a classic within minutes finish.
that is a wonderful color for a mustang
I'd have loved to see James trick Hammond by pretending to get off at an earlier station.

That Mustang is The Boss. I mean literally. The automotive version of Bruce Springsteen. He is not the most skilled guitarrist, does not write the most complicated songs in the world, but he is cool and a joy to listen to. The same goes for that Mustang, it might not be razor sharp and full of sci-fi techology, but it looks fantastic, sounds fantastic and with that absolute peach of an engine, it just has to be fun to drive. It's a car that the people who have designed the oh so boring VW Passat or Merc C-class would never design, and i love it for that.

The 2004 model is my favorite, it isn't as forced as the new one. I dont like the new family front. And the DB10 looks vulgar and unelegant.

There's a relatively recent, candid interview with Jeremy, while he's sitting at an outdoor cafe. It's somewhere on KZread. When asked about his true preference in cars, he alludes to the musclecar Mustang. You know he loved this Shelby but had to keep a stiff upper lip about it on air.

He still did well to recover and close the huge gap with all odds against him. Arriving less than 10 min later. 1. Trains' gotten faster 2. Sea Cat Ferry scrapped and a way slower boat (otherwise he'd won for sure) 3. The traffic as you mentioned. 4. Driving a car that's very very thirsthy. 5. Roadworks in France (he suffered that too in the race to Switzerland yet won!) Heck, he could have won if Berlusconi had been able to enact the 150km/h speed limit in Italy!!!
I was at Milan Three times. And the last time was the Summer of this year. God that was awesome.
Agreed, It looks sexy as heck in blue with white pinstripes and the v8 rumble is amazing. I normally would pick a Camaro over a Stang but the GT500.. well 2013 one at least I will pick over any Camaro.

Thats a spectacular car!!
seeing it online gives you how much more a sense jeremy lost by
If this challenge would have been made in 2015 instead in 2012, May/Hammond would have won even by a larger gap. That's because it opened a new Metro line (the M5) which goes directly from the Milan Porta Garibaldi railway station to San Siro Stadium in 15-20 minutes instead of "Garibaldi to Cadorna (M2) - interchange - Cadorna to Lotto (M1) - 1 mile by foot" which takes I think a bit less than the 1h4' told by James to Jeremy
When Jeremy said, "You're actually playing in goal", I remembered when Hammond won a contest and discovered that his prize was to be strapped on to the wing of an airplane performing aerobatics for the cheering crowd.
Busted out laughing at 4:40
It's so nice to see public transport win after all
