Drag race between the Chevrolet Corvette and the TVR Sagaris:

Race between the Vauxhall Monaro and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR FQ-400;
The Stig drives the Mitsubishi, while Clarkson drives the Monaro. The Evo wins, but Clarkson states that he was probably having more fun in the Monaro.
Damage test between the Austin Metro and the Toyota ???;
Russ Swift drives around an enclosed car park trying to do as much damage, by clipping the pillars, to the Austin but still making it drivable. He succeeds in breaking off both wingmirrors, one door, the boot and both bumpers. Clarkson attempts the same thing in the Toyota, but wrecks it after driving head on with the first pillar.
Jousting match between the Triumph TR7 and the Ford Scorpio;
Each car is fitted out with a lance, a shield and a decorative feather. Both cars are driven by stunt men in suits of armour.
1st Round - TR7 wins,
2nd Round - Scorpio wins,
