In the first race of the series to determine who goes straight through to the following week's show the eight celebrities are split into two groups. Each group of four have to race against each other in their banger cars completing 10 laps around the track. But it's not just each other that they are up against… Four menacing ‘Wreckers' will also be joining the race with the sole purpose of wreaking havoc. The winner from each of these groups will automatically go through to next week's driving challenge, leaving the other remaining six celebrities to battle it out and compete in a second banger race.

UK racing legend and double British Touring Car Champion Jason Plato is also on hand with his expert advice and introduces the group to their second challenge of the series; off-road buggy racing.

In this week's episode, the remaining celebrities are faced with driving high-speed rally cross cars in a bid to secure their place in the final. However, the two with the slowest times will once again go head to head in the Night Race to find out who goes home, and who stays for the final. The Night Race takes place on a specially designed course that will push the drivers to their limits. Each week, the bottom two contestants will be put behind the wheel of a BMW M3, which can do 0-60 in around four seconds. Racing one after the other, they must each attempt to complete the course in the fastest possible time. The driver with the quickest time survives and the slowest goes home.
