Not a great episode. I understand they could have done better with the Espace but the idea is to be funny, I 'm sure they could have done better with the trucks for the money they had..

Exactly, in my country just today they announced that for you to get a driver's license you need to take the test in a manual transmission car. The 'reasoning' being that will somehow guarantee better drivers .... , it's unreal...
Instead we should get a real test, currently all you have to do is a mini slalom, show that you can use reverse while keeping it in a straight line and then do some roundabouts.....

no matter how bad this ep might have been, itīs still better and well more entertaining than any other car show out there... but where was the veritas? hopefully they save it for a later ep.

Yes.
