Highlights from this series include the guest appearance of Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton helping to set BBC Two's all-time best ratings in a record which stood for over six years, a second attempt at building amphibious cars with which to cross the English Channel, and a return of the intercontinental race format, pitting all four Top Gear hosts against each other in a race across the entirety of London. Other moments include Clarkson driving the diminutive Peel P50 all the way inside Broadcasting House, and Richard Hammond's first high-performance drive in a supercar since his 2006 injury, racing a Bugatti Veyron against a Typhoon fighter jet.
