Summary The nominees' first three challenges are traditional ones to the show. The first is riding the rails, where the nominees are required to drive along a straight parallel set of rails, which will test if the nominees know where the tires of their vehicles are when they are driving. After receiving a lesson in the skills of reversing from Tim, the eight nominees then embark on the second competitive challenge, to reverse through a course. The extra pressure is that they perform the challenge head-to-head with another nominee. After receiving a lesson on driving through tight spaces from Philippe, most specifically by looking where they want to go, the eight embark on their third challenge, the annual eye of the needle with the needles offset to simulate lane changes, and the course which must be driven at at least 70kpm. Through the challenges, Ian provides Andrew a list of what he considers those areas of his driving which need attention, Andrew who in turn provides it to the panel for information. The panel, in turn, is confused by what Ian needs assistance with as the majority of those items listed are choices made by him as opposed to skills which can be taught. Jason still refuses to address his bad eyesight issue, the importance of which he does not quite understand in relation to his driving. During the panel discussion to name the first graduate of the season, they shortlist two nominees, the best driver and the one who acknowledges his/her driving issues. They do name a graduate which surprises the nominees and the graduate's nominator.
