The one with The Olympic Long Jump Challenge

Series 4, Episode 10 (2004)

We build a big ramp and test cars from various nations to see who can jump the furthest. Richard uses a dull Peugeot as a pace car and James buys a sofa. Partick Kielty is our guest

    TestsPeugeot 407 pace car

    Sounds unlikely, looks even weirder. Richard tries to get to the soul of the bland 407 by taking it to a Radical race as official pace car. Not as easy as it looks.

  • A Volvo and a sofa

    TestsRichard drives the Corvette C6 (series 4, episode 10)

    The fast, agile but agricultural Corvette is a handful on the track, but Richard has heaps of fun in it anyway. Don’t talk to him about chassis engineering, this is adrenaline.

    Thanks to a high-tech ramp and a sand pit, five classics (sort of) – from Britain, Russia, Czech Republic, France and the USA – take part in our car long jump.
