Summary With Breanna Pratley being named the latest graduate of the season, five nominees remain at the Centre. Before embarking on the three challenges for the week, Tim takes each of the five on an individual drive onto the highway, highway driving which may be one of if not the most problematic aspect of their day-to-day driving at home. One of the five seems not want to embrace the lesson, perhaps preferring the status quo at home as opposed to feeling comfortable enough to be able to hit the highway on his/her own. The first challenge is the longest straightaway reverse in the world - 1km - which gets progressively wider as the course progresses. Tim and Philippe have provided lesson after lesson on the different techniques to reverse, each of those techniques which should be applied on the the course, one more appropriate than another on each of the different sections. The second challenge, arguably the fans' favorite, is the water tank, this year's course which includes an acceleration/deceleration section leading into a sharp turn, a precision driving section, an enclosed maneuvering section, and a reverse slalom. This challenge is to test smooth driving and pedal control. The third challenge is the reverse flick within an enclosed area, which each of the nominees is taught how to do by Philippe beforehand. Despite never needing to do such a maneuver in regular driving situations - it against the law to do so on public roads - the nominees are taught the skill to show vehicle dynamics (i.e. why the car does what it does when one hits the brakes or turns the steering wheel, etc.) and to make the nominees more comfortable behind the wheel in general. The panel, in their deliberation, only have one person they are thinking of graduating this week. The question then becomes if that person feels ready to leave, and if not if they will let that person stay for at least another week.
