Jeremy (driving the new Bugatti Veyron) races James and Richard (in a plane) from Alba in northern Italy to the top of London's NatWest Tower. Richard also tests the new Marcos on the Top Gear track. The star in a reasonably priced car is Nigel Mansell.

The team travel to Norway where they attempt Olympic events - in cars. A rocket-powered mini is fired off a ski jump, Jeremy and James tackle the biathlon with 4x4s, Richard stages a game of car ice hockey, and the new Jaguar XK races a speed skater.
