It is that time of year again when the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) invites us to another day of road testing the latest cars on the UK roads.

This event centres around Thruxton, and the local roads prove worthy of the new cars on offer. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't quite so friendly, but what are British road tests without a little rain?!?

Vehicles driven include:

• Lotus Emira
• MG HS
• Kia EV9
• BMW Z4
• Hyundai Ioniq 5 N
• MG Cyberster

With an unusual set of priorities, Formula One's stewards step in to deal with the big issue... Too much swearing!?!

We also look at the problems with the amount of flooded roads at the moment, and the reckless nature of some (but not all!) who get stuck in them.

In this episode:

• As Graham recalls a previous auction of a W196, we look forward to the RM Sotherby's sale of the 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 'Monza' Streamliner F1 car, valued at between $50 million and $70 million, from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum
• Jim catches up with Formula One's return from its summer holidays
• Dave comments on the differences (and similarities) when driving in Canada rather than the UK.
