Featuring a Steam loco, a Car and a Motorcycle.

The actual race, from London to Edinburgh (390 miles) was held in late April with quite a few video clips appearing on YouTube.

It aired on the BBC TV program "Top Gear" last weekend.

There is now a good Wiki article published.

You can watch the entire (65:36) program on DPCcars.com. It's Top Gear, Season 13, episode 1, originally broadcast 6/21/09. It took some doing to find the entire program on-line, the BBC has copyright issues with it being on youtube.

The issues have to do with the program being available (this soon after BBC broadcast) to people who haven't paid a British TV licence fee, actually. Next comes BBC America and other BBC auxiliary channels.
