Things to look forward to on Sundays

Bugatti Veyron vs plane

We love a good pan-European car versus public transport challenge on Top Gear. So far we've pitted an Aston DB9 against the fast train to Monte Carlo (victory: Clarkson, Team Car).

 

We've run a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti against a jet aircraft to Verbier (victory: Clarkson, Team Car). And we put a Mercedes SLR McLaren against a boat to Oslo (victory: Clarks... etc, etc).

 

Now comes our greatest race ever. The route is from the northern Italian town of Alba to the southern British town of London.

 

Jeremy takes the incredible (and incredibly delayed) 987bhp Bugatti Veyron, while Richard and James are once again going by air. But this time there's a twist, because your pilot for this TG Airlines flight is Captain May of the King's Own Still Having Flying Lessons Corps.

 

Clarkson will be punched straight through Europe by the mighty fist of the world's most powerful car. The other two will be taking a not quite as-the-crow-flies route because James can't fly over the Alps. Apparently he hasn't done that bit of the course yet.

 

Nonetheless, Clarkson could be in trouble this time, unless, of course, James flies as slowly as he drives.

 

its true!! :shock: :lol:

the first one on the list, taking supercars to the bridge, should make for some very interesting footage, that bridge really is MASSIVE! iirc its above the cloudline so if they got a cloudy day it'll look bloody amazing

Our celebration takes us through France until we reach another example of mankind creating splendour just for the sake of it - the epic Millau Bridge. Prepare for one of the most stunning items Top Gear has ever made. And the shock of James May driving like his brogues are on fire.

I feel that the word 'epic' is somewhat over-used on Top Gear!
