The last episode of Top Gear ended with a rather embarrassing defeat for the automobile when French highway construction cost Jeremy Clarkson and his Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 their victory against the high speed train to Milan taken by Richard Hammond and James May. Ultimately, Hammond won the challenge and got to watch AC Milan play Anderlecht in a Champion League match.
This week, the presenters have a completely different idea for a challenge. Top Gear Season 19 episode 4 will begin with Jeremy Clarkson test driving the new Kia Cee'd on a thorough road test. However, the practical presentation ends prematurely as the show decides it's better to allow the vehicles demonstrate its prowess via a giant game of "Top Gear rugby," pictured in the photo above, between a team for Clarkson versus another team for May.

Other features expected in this episode include Richard Hammond traveling to Mexico for an exclusive road test of the Mexican-made Mastretta MXT sports car. Then, the Stig will be testing three popular hot hatchbacks (Ford Focus ST, Renault Megane RenaultSport Cup 265, and the Vauxhall Astra VXR) on the Top Gear Test Track. Finally, 2008 Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton will be invited once again to take a reasonably priced car around the Top Gear test track. Lewis Hamilton's fastest lap managed to beat the Stig during his last visit. Will Hamilton's new lap time on Sunday be even faster still?
Top Gear airs once again this Sunday with Top Gear Season 19 Episode 4 scheduled to air on Sunday Feb. 17 on BBC2 and BBC HD at 8pm GMT.
