Premiering on, Wednesday 28 February 2018, from 8pm on BBC Brit (DStv Channel 120)
In the first episode of the all-new series, Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid head to America’s Wild West to test out three new V8 sports cars: the McLaren 570GT, Jaguar F-Type SVR and a very powerful Ford Mustang. Journeying across beautiful Utah, the boys attempt to outrun the law on a moonshine run, try their hand at NASCAR, and visit the fastest racetrack in the world. Rob Brydon is this week’s studio guest, the British comedian attempting to set a blistering time in the Reasonably Fast Car.
Ep 1 fun facts: The dirt track they drove up at the beginning of the episode was made by the US government to look for uranium to make nuclear bombs. The area where all the canyons are at the start of the film is called Canyonlands, it’s also where Thelma and Louise drove off a cliff in the movie of the same name and where Indiana Jones was shot (the start of The Last Crusade). Hollywood loves Utah.
