Clarkson however cannot find any spare parts for his Lancia Beta so he jury-rigs new doors from soft drink cans, wood and corrugated iron, and attaches a megaphone. May is able to replace several Mercedes-Benz parts, due to the car’s popularity in Africa. Clarkson’s car however, fails to start, so The Stig walks away.Ĭhallenge 4: Cross the Okavango Delta the presenters are told to make their cars “wild animal proof”. Oliver achieves a time of 1:12 before being beaten by May’s Mercedes-Benz with a 1:06. However, he did seem taken aback by the fact that the trio were attempting this in their old, used, two-wheel drive cars.Ĭhallenge 3: Time trials round a rally course by “The Stig’s African cousin”. Shortly before beginning their trip onto the Makgadikgadi Pan, the Top Gear trio informally encountered Botswana’s Vice President, Seretse Ian Khama, who displayed no qualms regarding the trio’s journey across the flats. Hammond does not have to take such measures as he did not drastically modify his car earlier.

WATCH TOP GEAR SEASON 10 EPISODE 4 DRIVER
May and Clarkson cover their faces and re-dress to avoid choking on the dust, as each driver was now open to the elements due to having a bare shell. For day two on the salt pans, dust becomes the problem, rather than the “gunk” underneath the salt crust. Clarkson’s car breaks down frequently, seemingly with electrical issues. Hammond’s car is light enough to cross the salt pan shedding only his spare tyre and radiator grill.

Desperate to shed weight, they strip down their cars to the basic shell, removing most of the interior trim and most of the panels. Almost immediately, May and Clarkson’s cars begin to break through the crust. The first section of the Makgadikgadi salt pan has a thin solid crust, under which lies a mud like substance underneath. While the Beetle turns out to be a suitable vehicle for such a challenge, the Beetle is the presenters’ collective least favourite car of all time.Ĭhallenge 2: Cross the Makgadikgadi Pan successfully. If at any time a presenter’s car breaks down and cannot be restarted, he must complete the journey in a Volkswagen Beetle. Starting from the Botswana-Zimbabwe border, they must drive 1,000 miles (1,600 km) to the Namibian border. Clarkson buys a 1981 Lancia Beta Coupe, May a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 230E and Hammond a 1963 Opel Kadett, which he nicknames “Oliver”. Mocking the use of “Chelsea Tractors” for delivering children to school and driving up leafy lanes, rules for the challenge stipulate that the car purchased to cross the spine of Africa has to be two wheel drive, and not designed in any way for off-road use. Botswana Special: The boys go to Botswana and buy a car for less than £1500 for a 1,000 mile challenge.Ĭhallenge 1: Buy a used car for up to £1500.They would then be tuned by tuning firms associated with their brands for less than the money the presenters had left, and would be raced against one another at the end of the video. Tasked with modifying an older sports car for less than £5,000, Jeremy would purchase a 1979 Rover SD1 whereas Vicki would purchase a 1986 Vauxhall Nova Sport.

The earliest execution of this idea dates back to presenter Jeremy Clarkson's 2000 home video release, At Full Throttle, which he presented with then-current Top Gear presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson. This segment was passed on, during the transition to The Grand Tour. Sometimes the challenges would usually involve the trio going against their producers in an attempt to prove that a certain type of car was superior. Cheap Car Challenges would usually involve the trio, being given a certain amount of budget to buy a car before being set a number of challenges in finding out who had the best deal with regards to their purchase, the first being a £100 Car Challenge.
