Still having it here enables us to answer an important question. You see, the Cold War ended before we ever got the chance to find out who would have won if we'd actually started fighting. Yep, but now we can find out with a race. We have all the ingredients here. It's cold, the track's much too narrow, it's too pot-marked, it's bumpy. Uh, I should be driving the Morris Marxist, and you shall be in the, um, what is it, the Lenin 1.6 SLX. Lovely. And the winner gets Berlin, and the loser has to sacrifice his bath plug. So now we see Mr. Clarkson. Welcome to the inaugural round of the BTCC, the British Touring Communism Championships. Like, get him on the inside. Yes! Oh no, he's coming through, but if you have got 86 brake horsepower, I've only got 83. Marvelous. Russian communism is better than British communism. Oh, how do you like that? Slow! Come on, get out of my way. [Music] No way! No, I'm back in the league. [Music] Diabolical. There's no other word for it. Polaris is way in the lead here. Okay, gaining, gaining now. Wait, the SS18 is coming through. Exactly. I could do. That's what annoys me, catching up to be done. Now come on, Marina. There he is. He's in my sights. The Marina caught the ladder quite quickly, which means we would have won the Cold War if we'd started fighting. Oh yes. What do you think of this? Enough. Goodbye, Mr. Mate. Would you have accidentally killed James May there anyway?
