They will have to perform an S-turn to complete the challenge without hitting the barriers. Some do better than they expect, but many, with the constant advice of the other seven, don't really learn what they did right to get through the course. And one has a total meltdown on the course. Their second challenge is to drive straight on two narrow rails, just touch a barrier with their front bumper (if they touch it too hard, it will cause objects on top of the barrier to tumble) and reverse in that straight line off the rails. If they don't drive straight, they will fall off the rails into the water below. This challenge is to test spatial awareness, especially of where the wheels are, and where their front bumper is. It becomes obvious who has good and who has bad spatial awareness. Before the third challenge, Philippe provides a lesson to all eight on proper seat distance from the steering wheel, proper seat back angle, proper hand position on the steering wheel, and proper body alignment during shoulder checks of blind spots. They will require all these skills for that third challenge, a high speed one requiring a shoulder check on both sides to know which way to turn. One feels that these series of challenges may be a self-fulfilling prophecy of being Canada's worst driver, while on screen admissions by another may be too much for both that person's nominator and the panel of experts. In the end, the panel deliberation for the first graduation of the season becomes a moot point. Written by Huggo See less
