Host Dermot O'Leary is your guide through Hazard Highway, Off-Road Rage, the Drive-Thru and the high-octane finale that is the Getaway Chase. Only one team will reach the final and go helmet to helmet in a thrilling showdown with enigmatic driving legend The Stig - all in the hope of winning the £10,000 jackpot and being crowned champions.

This week's team in blue are bickering brothers Patrick and Dominic from Sunderland. Often mistaken for twins, they have been arguing all their lives. Can they put that to one side today and work as a team?

Finally, from Brighton come shopkeepers and life partners Tim and Soly. Tim fancies himself as a bit tasty behind the wheel. Soly doesn't agree and is quite vocal about it. Show less
