And races don't come much bigger than this one: the Bugatti Veyron against the RAF's new Eurofighter Typhoon jet.
See, when Jeremy raced Richard and James across Europe - him in a Veyron and the other two in a washing-machine-with-a- propellor-on-the-front - a few of the boys from the RAF got a bit upset that it wasn't a fair fight.
They had a point, in fairness - the finest piece of automotive engineering in history versus a clattery Cessna 182 was only ever going to end one way.
So the RAF offered up their base for a proper race: a two-mile sprint between the Veyron and a jet fighter.
That's a mile to the end of the runway and back for the Veyron, while the jet plane - being able to fly and all - had to go a mile straight up in the air and then, well, a mile straight back down again.
A fair fight? Of course not.
