May in a Mercedes Benz GL Class raced Hammond on a Specialized Sirrus Limited hybrid bicycle2, The Stig using the London public transport system, and Clarkson in a Cougar motorboat from Kew across to London City Airport. The Stig started on a bus, then got on the Tube before taking the DLR. Hammond took the lead from the start, although traffic lights meant May remained close behind. The speed limit of 9mph on much of the River Thames put Clarkson firmly in last place. Congestion at Picadilly let Hammond shake off May, who was further slowed after the Metropolitan Police stopped him to check the camera cars permit. With Hammond 8 miles from the airport, Clarkson passed under Wandsworth Bridge, at which point the Thames had no speed limit. He therefore shot past May and the Stig, but was shocked to discover Hammond had still won by a fair margin. The Stig arrived a short while later, beating May by 1. Despite the result shown in the film, the presenters mockingly denied this outcome by saying things such as Hammond getting killed in an accident and Clarksons boat exploding which killed him, and insisted that May in the Mercedes Benz won the race fairly.
