Summary After receiving a lesson in the skills of reversing from Tim, the eight nominees embark on the first competitive challenge, to reverse through a course. The extra pressure is that they perform the challenge head-to-head with another nominee. They are also given one small twist to see if they understand the theory of reversing taught to them by Tim, rather than doing the task by muscle memory. After receiving a lesson on rear tires not following front tires in a turn from Philippe, the eight embark on their second challenge, driving the trough, which entails knowing where their tires are at all times, especially in tight turns. And after receiving a lesson in the proper shoulder check technique from Tim, they embark on their third challenge, which requires them to do both a left and right shoulder check at high speed before changing lanes to avoid hitting an obstacle straight in front of them. This challenge is especially difficult for Kevin who has no peripheral vision on his right side. Another nominee is given another lesson on this course to overcome his major issue. When meeting the panel after the three challenges, only one of the eight feels ready to graduate. Although there is some hesitancy by the panel to graduate anyone, they do have a short list of two people, one of who is named the first graduate of the season.
