Skid Marks

At the last panel deliberation, Thomas Hobbs was named the second graduate - on the caveat that he move his car racing from the street to a race track - leaving six participants remaining at the Centre. The first challenge for the six is to balance a car on one side of a seesaw, with their nominator in another car on the opposite side of the seesaw. This challenge requires hair-trigger decisiveness and good communication. The second challenge has the participants in a simulated ice skid initiated by a third party. The catch?: the third party will not initiate the skid, testing driver nerves and reaction. This challenge is aborted when one the participants kills the car. The third challenge has the participants turning a car 360 degrees within an enclosed cross-shaped course. The challenge can be completed in 29 turns. The fourth challenge is one is driving a manual drive car. The course has a few turns, requiring shifting gears; a few stops, meaning that they have to drive from a cold start a few times; and a dead end requiring shifting from first gear to reverse. Those that have driven a manual drive before have an advantage. Will they use that advantage? Shelby gets a lesson in driving a different type of vehicle, one that he has wanted to drive since he was a kid. At the panel deliberation, there is a short list of two, but the panel decide to graduate the person who has shown the most increase in confidence.
