Summary Because all participants expressed that they did not feel ready to graduate at the last deliberation, the panel decided to honor their wishes and graduate no one, leaving six participants still remaining at the Centre. Their first challenge has all six on a two-lane oval course at the same time, the goal being to pass the lead car, driven by Andrew, twice. This challenge tests lane changing ability, especially the need to shoulder check and signal before changing lanes. On this challenge, one driver is oblivious to the fact of a missing car. The second challenge has the participants and the nominators at an undisclosed and secluded location at night 33 kilometers away from their hotel. With another nominator of their own choosing as their passenger, they must find their own way back to the hotel in whatever manner they see fit. This challenge ends up being quite different for one, whose disregard for their own vehicle ends up being the issue. Before attempting their third challenge, Philippe gives the participants a lesson in the specific maneuver called a hand-brake J-turn. This turn teaches car control, and the physics behind what a car is actually doing while in motion. The participants are required to make such a turn in a tight spot with an obstacle in the middle. The participant who ends up leaving the Centre after these three challenges does so for a personal reason, which hits home with all at the Centre, but especially the participants.
