Trivia
The show has a number of Suzuki Lianas for use in the celebrity race segment, entitled "Star in a reasonably priced car". The Liana was chosen because it is quite a decent spec of equipment for a car under 10,000 pounds. Originally they were going to use a Hyundai, but Hyundai refused to help them out - prompting the first episode of the show to be advertised as "containing no Hyundais". The Lianas have appeared in various disguises; sporting flames for Rock Singer Justin Hawkins of The Darkness, and an Indian tissue box for 'Sanjeev Baskhar'. There are several Lianas in case one breaks during the show. To date, David Soul is the only celebrity to have broken all of the available Lianas during filming.

For the road test of the Ferrari Enzo, they asked the people from Ferrari whether they could borrow one but Ferrari said "No". Jeremy Clarkson called Jay Kay (since he got one) whether he can borrow his. Jay Kay said sure if only he could borrow Jeremy's daughter (So, it is definitely a "No"). However, Nick Mason (Drummer of Pink Floyd) come to the rescue as he lends his Ferrari Enzo to Jeremy if Jeremy plugs Nick's new book. Of course, Jeremy had accepted his offer.
