TGUSA S04E03

On the third episode of American Top Gear, Season 4, we learn more about the basics of rallying. Tanner Foust, being adept in this sport, invited Adam and Rut for some rallying 101 but there's a twist; they have 24 hours for these two to prepare against Tanner.

While school smarts doesn't seem to work, Adam and Rut get some rallying 101 with one of Tanner Foust's most formidable rivals. While these two are busy in their training, Tanner introduced us to the all-new Mini Paceman, which is essentially a three-door version of the Countryman, and then undergo a different kind of challenge to see if this has the same rally heritage as the original Mini. In the end, the Paceman finished 5th place in the podium.

Meanwhile, Adam and Rut are being chased by Bucky in a 2-lap race without being overtaken. Sadly, it's been turned into one heck of a do-or-die match and in the end, Bucky defeated these two. Since Adam and Rut never been used to rally, they come up with a plan...

The next day, at Hell's Canyon, it's now turned into a rally car vs. road car vs. powerboat-ish thingy as Tanner's in a Subaru rally car while Rut's in the brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish, and Adam's in a 1400hp powerboat with a jet engine from a helicopter.

In the end, the 1400hp powerboat, with Adam in it, took first, Tanner with the Scooby rally car came second, and Rut with the Vanquish, despite a crack in the windshield near the finish, came last. It's an odd of  1 in 2 shots.
