A sports car megatest, Harris drives a Pikes Peak legend, and Flintoff crashes (again)


To celebrate the 100th birthday of the sports car, Paddy, Chris and Freddie take a new Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage and Ferrari Portofino on a nice gentle road trip around Yorkshire. Which, somehow, ends with Flintoff crashing a weird lie-down bike thing into the end of an airfield.
Chris Harris, meanwhile, is a man with his own pair of race gloves, and thus he was ordered to test the 670bhp, all-electric, four-wheel drive Volkswagen ID R to its very limits – and indeed his own – at the legendary Portimao circuit. Can Harris handle the Pikes Peak and Goodwood record holder? Will his face ever be the same again?
