In the South of France, I'm on a mission to find my favorite car of the year at the Formula One Circuit Paul Ricard's high-tech testing ground. I'm surrounded by top-notch vehicles, including Ferraris, McLarens, Nissans, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and a BMW 1M. I'm aided by The Stig and Formula One's Karun Chandhok as I explore the latest innovations, such as the hybrid-engine Mugen Honda CR-Z, and nostalgic classics like the Eagle Speedster and Jensen Interceptor R. I also get a glimpse into the future with the single-seat B.A.C. Mono and the vintage Brutus, a car with a flame-spitting BMW airplane engine.
