You're going to have to hold it.
Just run like hell from the bus, because if you miss the bus, we're stuffed.
Amy's back! Amy's back!
Amy's back on my screen! I pushed everything, she's back!
And not before time, being lost had cost me 45 minutes.
The lead I built up had been wiped out.
Show me some of your muscles, car. Show me your muscles!
That says, "Do you know my friend?" I mean, "Can you wait, please?"
I was now off the train and hoping to God James had held the bus.
Buses, there should be buses. There's no buses.
I was now heading for the tunnel under the bay in a big hurry
and for the first time the GT-R was starting to come alive.
When you put your foot down like that, you just get the vaguest whiff
that this car can go round the Nurburgring in seven minutes 29 seconds.
That's faster than a McLaren Mercedes. It's faster than a 911 Turbo.
-Hello? -May.
-I'm with my old mate Richard Hammond -Damn it! Oh, great!
Mate, they're getting cross 'cause you're on your mobile.
Hello?
We're in trouble now for talking on a phone on the bus.
-He wants to talk to you. -Hi.
Do you know what time you're actually getting on that ferry?
25 past, it leaves, we're getting on it at about 22 minutes past.
All of us were now minutes from the bay.
Is that bell bad?
This is really close now.
Still in the bosom of Japanese public transport,
we knew for sure we'd arrive at the finish line in 55 minutes.
All we could do was hope Jeremy's life would be less predictable.
-It depends on the terrain. -How busy it is.
Whether it's small roads, whether it's busy,
whether there's a speed limit, whether he gets lost.
Small roads? No, not really.
As the immense bridge ended,
I knew it would all be down to the final charge up the mountain.
Frankly, what I'm going to need to win this now is a divine wind
and I've got just the thing.
I'm ready! Here we go!
I knew they'd be at the finish line at 4.25 precisely.
Arrival time, 4.31.
That's six minutes after them.
I'm putting the gear box in race. That speeds up the change time.
I'm going to put the suspension in race. That firms it right up.
Then I'm going to put the traction control in race. That lets me have some slip.
Bang on time, the ferry docked,
a full mile from the cable car, but we had no intention of walking.
I've no time to slow down for these barriers.
Bloody hell! You could win Wimbledon with barriers like that on the end of your arm.
Ahead of me lay the mountain road, GT-R country.
God...
Just now it's all coming together. It's all just becoming a GT-R.
-Hello. -Jeremy.
Yeah, where are you?
We are disembarking now.
This is so damn close.
I can't work it out, but he is... he is very close.
I've now got it down to 4.27.
-Ready? -Yes.
-Let's do it. -Right.
4.24.
This is the clash of the titans now and it's going down to the wire again.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I wish you could feel my heart rate now.
I really wish you could feel what's going on here.
Go!
Come on!
Thank you.
Come on, come on, come on, baby!
I was now giving it everything.
So, at the top here there is a Buddha to road safety.
-Apparently. -Wouldn't it be brilliant if we got there
and Jeremy's GT-R was buried in the middle of it?
"Watch this, I'm here..."
-"Oh, dear." -"Bang."
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This way.
Finally, I made it to the Buddha's car park.
Victory is mine!
But that wasn't the finishing line.
Go where? Where?
Run!
Come on, go, go, go! Just leave it!
That's not a temple.
We were now converging on the Buddha up two different paths.
Are you sure we haven't overshot it?
Come on!
No!
Please, God... don't let them be here.
They aren't here.
A car just beat the Bullet Train.
That's Buddha!
-This is the Buddha to road safety! -And then, the 9th and 10th century...
This wall was 12th century,
So, you remember from the lecture I was giving you...
Hi, guys, just interesting how this is a different century to that.
We've been learning. We've had a lecture.
Yeah. Yeah.
-You ran up there as well? -Oh, yeah.
-Congratulations. -How long have you been here?
Really not long. Genuinely... honestly... three minutes 12 seconds.
That is so close.
Thanks, Buddha. You looked after him.
Disappointed!
Wait for it.
-Which is? -That's the Japanese...
-For? -Oh, cock!
Yeah.
