Jeremy Clarkson puts the Citroën C6’s suspension through its paces at the Towcester race circuit. Meanwhile, actor Michael Gambon makes a comeback to the test track, reprising his role as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car as part of the programme.

The broadcast is a single episode of a television programme centred on motoring tests. It follows the familiar format of the series, with the presenter taking a specific vehicle and putting it through a series of evaluations. In this instalment, the focus shifts to the handling characteristics of a French executive saloon, while also featuring a cameo from a well‑known actor who has appeared on the show before. In the main segment, Jeremy Clarkson puts the Citroën C6’s suspension to the test on the Towcester race circuit. He drives the car around the track, assessing how the suspension copes with the bends and the high‑speed sections, and records his observations about ride comfort and stability. The setting at Towcester provides a genuine racing environment for the evaluation, allowing Clarkson to gauge the vehicle’s performance under real‑world conditions. The episode also sees Michael Gambon back on the test track, reprising his role as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. His return adds a familiar element to the programme, as he once again takes part in the light‑hearted challenge that pairs a celebrity with an affordable automobile. This combination of a detailed suspension test and a recurring celebrity segment rounds out the episode’s content.
