Series 6, Episode 6 of Top Gear aired on the 3rd July, 2005. It was the sixth episode of [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)/Series 6|Series 6]]; the 54th episode of Top Gear since the show's 2002 reboot and the 621st episode overall, including compilations. It was the 612th episode since Top Gear entered national broadcasting in 1978, and was the 11th programme to air in 2005 out of a total 26. Series 6, Episode 6 was originally broadcast in 576i at a 16:9 Widescreen aspect ratio on British television channel BBC Two. The episode was presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, alongside The Stig. David Dimbleby was the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car.

This episode is perhaps best-known for predominantly featuring Top Gear's third intercontinental race, the Race to Oslo, where Clarkson, driving a McLaren-Mercedes SLR, raced against fellow hosts Hammond and May who attempted to use nautical travel to reach Oslo, the capital of Norway.

Synopsis

As narrated by Jeremy Clarkson:

• Question Time comes to our Reasonably-Priced Car.
• Aston's DB9 racer comes to our track.
• And an offshore powerboat against a Mercedes SLR.

The episode structure for Series 6, Episode 6 was highly atypical in the sense that the majority of the episode was taken up by the race to Oslo, which immediately opened up the episode with Clarkson briefly mentioning the two races which had occurred before it in the studio.
