Top Gear: The Races

In this first episode, Jeremy attempts to build a car that's even smaller than the famous Peel P50 and then tests it out on the streets of London. Meanwhile, James is testing the latest Bentley Continental GT Speed by taking it on a rally stage. As if that wasn't enough, Homeland star Damian Lewis is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

The brand new season of the world's most popular car show continues with an epic road trip across the western side of the United States in three front-engined supercars. Along the way, the three presenters take in racing circuits, airborne attacks and a race against the police. Meanwhile, back in the studio legendary Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May engage in an epic race from Wembley to the San Siro stadium in Milan. Hamstrung by a rule about price, Clarkson maximises his bang-for-buck with a $55,000, 662 horsepower Shelby Mustang GT500 while Hammond and May pin their hopes to the ever-improving pan-European rail network. Car-loving singer Amy MacDonald is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy Clarkson subjects the new Kia Cee'd to a road test involving eels, curry, a rock legend, an American cop, and a rather unusual game of rugby involving James May. Meanwhile, Richard Hammond is in Mexico for a road test of the Mastretta sports car, a trio of hot hatchbacks tear it up on the test track and another top celebrity takes their turn as the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy and Richard tackle the twin problems of an ageing population and the increasing complexity of modern cars. Their solution is to design a vehicle exclusively for the elderly and then test it out with help from pensioners.

In the first of a two-part Top Gear special, Clarkson, Hammond and May go on a mission in Africa to find the source of the Nile
