Both presenters would begin at a beach at the very top of the Coromandel Peninsula racing, through different routes, to the finish line at the second most northernly point in New Zealand near Cape Reinga.

Jeremy's car was a Toyota Auris, which he claimed was "the fastest car in the world" because it was a rental and he could take the car "to the maximum".

| - Both presenters would begin at a beach at the very top of the Coromandel Peninsula racing, through different routes, to the finish line at the second most northernly point in New Zealand near Cape Reinga. James' route was 220 miles while Jeremy's was 410, giving James confidence in a win. Jeremy's car was a Toyota Auris, which he claimed was "the fastest car in the world" because it was a rental and he could take the car "to the maximum". James' yacht was an AC45, the fastest production sailing boat in the world, and manned by the Oracle Team USA crew that had won the America's Cup in 2010 with one more addition - four-time Olympic sailing gold medalist Sir Ben Ainslie, whom James insists on addressing as "Sir Ben Ainslie, Sir." (The crew, including Ainslie, later retained the America's Cup after an unprecedented comeback against Emirates Team New Zealand in San Francisco.) At precisely eleven minutes past seven the race began, with Jeremy claiming he is on a mission from God. He says that this race is representative of fossil fuels versus wind power, with Jeremy representing oil and 'internal combustion' and James' yacht representing wind power for obvious reasons. Jeremy gets off to an early start because a sail on James' yacht is lose. Jeremy approaches a narrow bridge at 100km/h and sees a black SUV ahead of him; in a desperate attempt to get out of his way Jeremy crashes into the side railing on the bridge and is forced to pull over to fill in a 'damage report' card. Elsewhere, James' yacht is approaching it's top speed but this new turn of speed is forcing water into the faces of the crew. Jeremy once again sets off assuming that he is in the lead; he pulls over to call James before discovering via a tracking device that he is well behind. With almost the entire journey ahead of him Jeremy sees that he is losing very badly and begins apologising for letting those protesting against 'the government installing wind mills' down.
