The presenters introduce some of the new cars for 2018 in Conversation Street. Hammond heads to Dubai to test a Sandrail dune buggy in the desert, followed by the Ripsaw "high-end luxury tank", visiting the Dubai Mall. May reviews the Volkswagen Up! GTI at the Eboladrome and in thick fog Eaton records a record slow time. Guests Bill Bailey and Dominic Cooper discuss their shared ownership of old French cars before racing each other in greasy/wet conditions with Cooper becoming the "fastest person who has a failed former career in a band". Clarkson creates a Ken Block-style "Farmkhana" film using an old Subaru Impreza WRX STi around Hare Farm, near Rye, with bullet time photography. Hammond and May show the audience that Clarkson's driving was mostly fake by sharing a "making-of" consisting of outtakes and behind-the-scenes footage featuring rally driver Mark Higgins, producer Phil Churchward, plus camera operator Ben Joiner breaking the fourth wall. Clarkson suggests that the whole thing is like sawing a woman in half during a magic show, and that really the audience don't want to know.

So we were all discussing, it was quite a logistical and quite problematic thing.
